| The New Nola Boxer 2 upgraded to a 2S Rocray, That's exactly how I arrived at them. There aren't any Nola Dealers in South-East Michigan for auditioning either but the reviews and the blogs have convinced me to have a very close look. As a retired guy who spends way too much time rese... | |
| The New Nola Boxer 2 upgraded to a 2S Were you able to audition your Boxers before purchasing? What drew you to them in the first place? | |
| Essence HDACC, Anyone heard it or Familiar With It I have no idea if it will improve the Sony, that's why I'm searching for experienced opinions. I didn't realize it wouldn't work with SACD since it has an HDMI port. I'm not unhappy with the Sony but if it can be improved to include higher resolut... | |
| Essence HDACC, Anyone heard it or Familiar With It Thanks for the reply Bob. I also found this review on the factory website a couple of days ago when I discovered this unit. I was hoping to hear from someone on Audiogon who had actually experienced this DAC as I've never heard of this reviewer be... | |
| Sony SCD-XA-5400 ES DAC Match Have you heard of the Essence HDACC? I just ran into it tonight while surfing. It looks promising for my application but I've never read about it or heard about it up to now. | |
| Dual volume control - it should be standard Dual volume controls are not stupid, in fact they're highly effective. I first had them on a Superphon preamplifier from PS Audio back in the 80s. An incredible piece of equipment by any measure. They were however; a hassle. I had to adjust them f... | |
| Why 24/7 warm-up period on amps? I spoke to Richard Brown (Brown Electronics Labs, BEL) many times over the years having owned a (Richard Brown updated) BEL 2002 and two BEL 2001 Power Amplifiers. He steadfastly insisted that his amps should be shut off EVERY time after a listeni... | |
| CD/SACD Player Recommendation Deep thanks to all of you that have replied. For the time being, I'm making do with an Oppo BDP-83 Special Edition that sounds somewhat spectacular; however, I would be the first to admit that there are better candidates out there. First, it's not... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Judds first release: "The Judds", a mini LP from 1984. The band is superb, the gals wonderful (ymmv). The sonics superb +. I'm taken by the guitar sounds on this and their first 3 albums, some really outstanding arrangements and musicianship. ... | |
| Time Has Come Today-The Chambers Brothers I saw them perform this live in the late sixties at the Grande Ballroom in Detroit. It was one of the most memorable performances there I can recall (although Cream and Jeff Beck trumped them). The intense percussion, strobe lights and echo loops ... | |
| Gary Moore RIP. One of my favorite all time Blues CD's is "Blues for Greenie". A great link between two great guitarists for obvious reasons.RIP Gary. Thank you for your contribution to the legacy of the Blues. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Lieutenant Kije on Chesky vinyl. I just scored a sealed copy and sacrificed its virginity last night. It was all that as far as I'm concerned. What an interesting piece of music. Spectacular instrumentation. I have a couple of the originals on RCA... | |
| Creek 5350 SE, Channel Dropout First of all, my apologies for not reporting my results after the repairs had been performed. I was personally unable to install the motorized Input Selector Switch. It was simply too involved and technically complicated. There are several rows of... | |
| Why Upgrade the Rega Counterweight? Thanks to all of you for the great replies. The physics of the Michell design make a lot of sense. You also addressed my primary question of whether you could hear a difference. It's a no brainer, I have a Tecnoweight on order. I especially like t... | |
