| Review: Resolution Audio Opus 21 CD Player I got ahold of an Opus21 late last week and had a chance to directly compare it to 2 Wadia players(A 301 and an 861se). All Im going to say is this: Opus21='s Adcom GCD-750 in terms of SQ with a more elegant 2 part case. Its a really good player, ... | |
| Good cd player and a great DAC or great cd player? Getting a seperate transport and DAC does NOT necessarily mean better sound. And I have found in many instances its not as good. For $2500 you should get a cd player with great out of the box performance. There are a handful of players in the pric... | |
| Wadia 861 vs. Gamut CD1r vs Sonic Frontiers T3/P3 Oh, I missed this part. As for a direct comparison between the Wadia 301 and Wadia 861se(before mods)The 301 gives you all the basic sound characteristics of the 861, just no as much. Both players sound very similiar, but the 861 has better detail... | |
| Thoughts on the best "budget" amp/preamp combo? Best preamp at ANY price range would be the Adcom GFP-750. Nelson Pass's passive design is still one of the best at ANY price range and most people will agree on this. You can grab one in excellent condition for under $700. Which leaves about $600... | |
| SUB - Confuse? Just remember, when I say REL is "garbage" Im basically talking in the realm of SQ and ability for a sub to properly contour to your room environment and main speakers. Rel actually has a really good fit and finish. But they are nothing more than ... | |
| Vandersteen Model 2CE's: Should I upgrade? Yeah, going with 3A Sig. is the way to go. And with a pair of their subs its a great sound altogether. | |
| SUB - Confuse? Perosnally if your looking for a great sub or subs for your 2 channel audio section I would look at Revel's B15 sub. I used to sell Rel and though they are a good sub, for the money they are nowhere near the sound quality of the B15. The B15 sub ... | |
| Revel's new B30 "Ultima" sub is out I doubt it, its just going into production now. Think of a B15 Performa sub on steroids. I was going to do a pair of B15's in conjunction with my Revel Salon's but have decided to hold out for a pair of these which will match aesthetically.cheersR... | |
| Powering Revel M20's. The A300 is a great integrated unit for the M20's which I used to own awhile back. If its in your budget you wont be dissappointed at all. They are a great match together. | |
| Speakers for Classical and Rock in large space. Try looking at a pair of Revel F30's. These can play into really large rooms quite impressively and a very musical and dynamic. Just remember, if you truely want full bandwidth reproduction your going to have to get a sub or 2(2 subs for stereo re... | |
| Which Amp will make the802N sing First time Ive ever heard anyone calling the N802's sweet and warm. Ill call them a detailed and slightly forward speakerset by nature. Tube amps are great matches for B&W N speakers. Ever think about auditioning one of BAT hybrid amps?? BAT a... | |
| Linn vs. Wadia I have both a 301 and an 861. What exactly are you talking about when you state wobble? | |
| Linn vs. Wadia Are you talking about the "SE" upgrade? Or something entirely different?? | |
| B&W N800 vs Wilson WP7 vs Revel and others Yes I am aware that they now use more scan-speak components. They still use that damn Focal tweeter though! =P | |
| B&W N800 vs Wilson WP7 vs Revel and others Yeah, see I feel the same way. =) When we first got the Watt puppy/6 versions in the store, we set em up broke em in,and also decided to take em apart(if the owner ever found out we would have all been fired!)to see what they are "made of". With t... |
