| Dartzeel amp lives up to hype Just to elaborate a bit on my comments above about the NY 2005 Dartzeel/VR9 system, in most fine systems, if I listen closely and think about what I am hearing, there is a delicate balance between detail at one end of the scale and smoothness at t... | |
| CDP W/ Digital input Check out Accuphases. My DP75V can be used as a DAC. | |
| Dartzeel amp lives up to hype I'll just throw in my 2-cents here for what it's worth...I sat and listened for quite a while to the Dartzeel/ Von Schweikert VR9 / EMM demo at the NY 2005 show and I was stunned by the purity and sheer beauty of what I heard. I'm not sure if it w... | |
| Will I notice the differance? I used to have the CAL Icon II Boss and really enjoyed it. Not too detailed, but relaxed with no glare or tizz. I traded it for a Meridian 508.24 and did not think it was any better. This was around 1997-8. The CAL was very reliable and never had ... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Try Cardas Cross. | |
| Wilson Sophia 2 Sorry, I did not mean to sound so negative or grouchy. I actually think that Wilsons (Watt Puppies, at least, I have not heard Sophias) have a wonderful sense of space and a bass that is perfectly integrated and natural, almost a bass to die for; ... | |
| EMM Labs vs. Esoteric X-01 My DCC2 sounds much better to me than the Dac6e. I heard the Dac6e at a dealer and a show and think the DCC2 (with a CDSD) is more relaxed, natural, but at the same time more detailed than what I heard with the Dac6e. I would not form a final opin... | |
| Wilson Sophia 2 How are the Sophias on vocals? My old Watt Puppy 6s (Pass X350 amp, Accuphase DP75V and Meridian 508.24 cd players) often had vocals that were so astringent and etched they were unlistenable. Listening to the Beatles was impossible. Most classical... | |
| Is Apogee in a class by itself among planars? Thanks a million to all the audiogoners who took the trouble let me know I'm not alone in my thoughts here and provide all this fascinating background info. I appreciate it.I now have Kharma 3.2s because they also are among speakers that can often... | |
| Moving up to audiophile cdp I migrated from a Meridian 508.24 (and also had a Sony SCD777ES) and feel that the Accuphase DP75V that I replaced these with was in a completely different league, making the other 2 players sound like mid-fi. The DP75Vs sell for around $4-5000 used. | |
| Magico Ultimate Loudspoeakers Hooper, In a post of yours back in August, you spoke favorably of the Kharma 3.2s (I own a pair). Thanks in advance for any comments you might offer on the the Kharmas vs. the Magicos. | |
| All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla.. Essentialaudio--thanks! I will see if this is compatible with my Billy Bags rack. -Rich- | |
| All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla.. Essentialaudio, thanks in advance: could you elaborate on what isolation device or other enhancements were used for the CDSD? | |
| Best speaker deals on Audiogon at the moment Compliments to audiokinesis above for one of the most concise, intelligent + thought provoking responses in a long time.(Probably worth printing out and hanging on the wall.)Yep, to know yourself in this complicated hobby is critical to finding wh... | |
| Accuphase DP-67 CD Player/Processor Has anyone compared it to the old DP75V? |
