| Mike Elliot s ARIA..the ultimate amp? I agree with Jim...<< To summarize, it's "sweet," dynamic, and near-holographic, given appropriate source material. >>I listened to Patricia barber's "Companion" last weekend, and I was amazed at how real it sounded. Good recordings so... | |
| Mike Elliot s ARIA..the ultimate amp? Hi Paul,I just had my Counterpoint SA100 completely rebuilt by Mike. My amp is now his new design. It's very similar to the Aria, but it's built in the old Counterpoint case. The Aria is still another notch above my amp...some different parts, pli... | |
| Ok, Here s the list of speaker cables.. If the Coincident are anything like their interconnects (and I assume they are), they're excellent. Lots of resolution and detail, balanced (excellent bass, mids & highs), and they're musical...they sound natural.I think the Cardas "Hex" are a... | |
| What Are Your Audio Morals? First of all...all of this used equipment had to be new once, right? Someone must have purchased it from a dealer at one time or another. Besides, a seller of used gear may very well take their profits and use them to buy something new from a deal... | |
| Perpetual vs EVS millenium II for CAL I'm sure Dan Wright's modified P-3 sounds great. I own a Millenium II and I love it (but I didn't compare it to any other stand-alone DACs). Parts-wise, the Millenium should easily win out over the Perpetual and that should mean that it will sound... | |
| nOrh CD-1 Anyone using this unit? I haven't heard these units, but someone on Audio Asylum said that the transport and DAC were pretty much the same as some of the Cal Audio seperates (they're made in the same Thai factory), and that's a good thing. I think they probably are a pre... | |
| What is sound floor Do you mean "noise floor" by any chance? I'm not going to explain it well, but it's a term used to describe the background noise of the recording. For example, it might refer to the noise that a microphone preamp makes, tape hiss on an analog reco... | |
| Song with only "Wa" "Wa" for lyric? There's a George Harrison song off of All Things Must Pass, called "WahWah", but it does have different lyrics in the verses.Can you tell us more about the sound? The style? etc.Phil | |
| Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list Duke Ellington's Jazz Violin recordings. He recorded Stephan Grapelli (sp?), Ray Nance, and a third violinist playing his songs with his orchestra. He recorded it in France in 1963, but it wasn't released until 1976. It came out on an Atlantic LP.... | |
| Why are EMC-1 s being dumped on market? One more possible reason...Electrocompaniet has announced a new model, so many people may be planning on upgrading. | |
| Why are EMC-1 s being dumped on market? I think that happens with most products that recieve a bunch of rave reviews. Many people buy them based on those raves...often unheard, I'm sure...and then decide to move on. The sound may not suit them or their system, or they're just finicky au... | |
| Vans Evers vs. Monster Thanks for the info. Has anyone compared the Vans Evers Ref 85 to a PS Audio power station, or the Hydra? Are they compareable, or are the PS and Hydra units at another level?By the way...I know the Hydra doesn't have any surge protection. What ab... | |
| Where to buy new rock LP s? I second redtrumpet.com. They tend to have most new rock LPs. Not necessarily all of the independant rock releases, but most of the major label and import releases. | |
| Looking for smooth SS pre amp Besides the above, you might also want to add a used Pass Labs Aleph P to your list. | |
| Musical sounding DVD player...? The Adcom player is supposed to be pretty good, isn't it? I don't think you'd be able to find an inexspensive DVD player that would sound better. I think my Pioneer DV-05 sounds good, but the Adcom should be much better. You could keep the Adcom a... |
