| Pass Labs XA30.8: is it enough for Wilson Sasha 2? Some news. First of all, I’ve to apologize for a big mistake: in all my previous post, the pre is not the ARC LS5, but the LS2. I don’t way I was convinced that it was this model... maybe I was without my glasses in my first approach!Second, waiti... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8: is it enough for Wilson Sasha 2? Well, my (dedicated) room is very small 3.45m x 3.25m. Displacements of furniture, loudspeakers and listening point is symmetric. I have also placed two tube traps to control better bass response. I’m going to add some adsorption (behind loudspeak... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8: is it enough for Wilson Sasha 2? At the date the best amplification chain that I tried with Sasha 2, but also with B&W Nautilus 803, is with ARC LS5 + Ahifi 845 pair. The latter is an old power unit built by a small Italian builder, based on a pair of 845 tubes, the same moun... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8: is it enough for Wilson Sasha 2? I’d the opportunity to test the integrated amplifier Pass INT-150 in my ‘sound room’, substituting the ARC LS5 + Symphonic Line Kraftwerk.After some hours of plays, what I can say is that the INT-250’s sound is refined, very clear, with a good dyn... | |
| Esoteric D-05X performance Well, I’ve been lucky: I’d a D-07x in my living room for some days. My short review follow.I tested it mainly against my old Teac DV50 multistandard player, swapped with The D-07x plus my Mac Pro connected via usb cable. As SW I used the Esoteric ... | |
| BEST match for B&W Natilus 802s I'm the owner of a pair of B&W N803. Until last year, I had the Musical Fidelity A3 as amplifier. The sound of MF was very good, detailed and with a good soundstage. But this type of loudspeakers (I think also the N802, only with a bit less ba... | |
| Teac DV-50 or modding Sony SCD 777 ES Teac DV-50 is an universal player. Like you, I'm not going to integrate it with a HT system in the future, but take care that the market of audio has not yet designed a winner between DVD-A and SACD. It seems that a lot of discographics are intere... | |
| KRELL SACD or TEAC Esoteric DV-50 I have the Teac, bought one month ago. Before I had the MF A3.2CD. The difference in quality for CDs is abysmal. It's a very good cd player, but not excellent: the CEC mechanic + Conrad-Jonhson P9 DAC wins the challenge for CDs, in a comparison he... | |
| B&W Nautilus 803 & Musical Fidelity A3 Finally I've a new cd source: the Teac DV-50, an universal player. It extracts from CDs al lot of information that before I never listen to. The bass estension is excellent, so the micro-detail and the dynamic. I have also new cables, Aircable, th... | |
| B&W Nautilus 803 & Musical Fidelity A3 I'm continuing the experiments.I've found the main cause of weak bass and poor soundstage: it is the source: the CD player, a Musical Fidelity A3.2!I've tested it in another (excellent) hi-fi system and the result is very eloquent (the other syste... | |
| B&W Nautilus 803 & Musical Fidelity A3 Thanks for the tips.In these days I'm evaluating a new amplification: pre-ampli with tubes, made by a local expert (japanese - $10.000), and a power unit NET, MK105M, (105W, Dual Mono, MOSFET, $1.500).Well, the improvements are very impressive. Th... |
