| Wadia 861 vs. Gamut CD1r vs Sonic Frontiers T3/P3 Im assuming your asking if a seperate DAC and transport is better sounding that a basic "cd player". I feel that in many ways having a seperate transport and DAC does have some advantages, but found that some complete one box units can actually so... | |
| B&W N800 vs Wilson WP7 vs Revel and others Actually Wilson uses focal for all 3 mentioned drivers, depending on model of course. As for the sum of the whole theory, I actually agree. I also agree that no speaker actually is "worth" $20k plus. I just feel that Wilson is one of the biggest o... | |
| B&W N800 vs Wilson WP7 vs Revel and others Errr better check real hard again. Wilson's use Focal tweeters, midrange drivers and bass units, the same cheesy ones you find at discount warehouses all over the US,in fact I can even name off the exact model's of the drivers used. I used to sell... | |
| B&W N800 vs Wilson WP7 vs Revel and others MahanDave: Not to be rude but you really dont know what your talking about here. Stating a Wilson(which uses generic drivers of AVERAGE quality at best)is a better build over ANY Revel Ultima(or Performa even in some respects) product is a farce a... | |
| $1K CD Player for Amp w/ truly balanced inputs Ill 2nd the Adcom GCD 750, you can get a mint condition used player for $700 easy. This is truely a great player, and there are alot of mods for it too. | |
| The best CD Player for the money Markone: If you want to see the true potential of the 301, spend an extra $1600 through GNSC. Its performance will surpass a standard Wadia 861se. They perform alot of critical damping, rip out alot of unecessary circuits which actually degrade pe... | |
| Linn vs. Wadia I also have to add that if someone wanted to give me either A Linn Sondek CD12, a Wadia 861(with a GNSC statement mod), or Wadia 270/27x Im not gonna say no by any means to ANY of them, and noone on this BB would in their right mind either. Though... | |
| Wadia 861 vs. Gamut CD1r vs Sonic Frontiers T3/P3 I just came back from a local hi-fi shop and heard the Gamut. No bottom end on it, sounded very thin to me compared to a basic Wadia 301. Even a bit compressed comapritively. Id go with a Wadia. Get a 301 with a Reference GNSC upgrade all for less... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I think there are alot of great CD players, and I mean dozens and dozens of them. Adcom,Arcam,CAL,Wadia,BAT,Meridian,Lynn etc etc. I have heard multiple units from alot of the listed companies and countless more. I personally love the Adcom GCD 75... | |
| is creek5350se best integrated for 1000-1200 bucks There are alot of great integrated units on the market for sale. Its gonna be a tough choice to say the least. Best bet is to try and audition them together(which may be tough im sure)with identical listening environments. | |
| Mark Levinson 23.5 A 23.5 will give you a great amp at a great price. I used to own a 332 and honestly couldnt tell a sonic difference(under equal conditions including all cabling etc)between the 2. Either way you will get a great amplifier. | |
| Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? Im sure you do have plenty of real world experience, but so do I, with ALOT of different gear in countless configurations(yes I used to be a dealer for alot of high end gear in Ma. and RI.).And I probably have just as much if not more real world e... | |
| Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? Mural: You should tear an Aragon apart, like I stated the amps capabilities are far underrated which is a shame. Even though the heatsinks look small in the configuration their in, its actually surprising the actual surface area of them. The amps ... | |
| Areil 10t Speaker Repair Id also say to take the $500 deal on the replacement head.A small price to pay considering the cost of these speakers. Though dont believe that Ariel isnt making at least a few bucks on the deal still. With Ariel, you pay alot more for R&D tha... | |
| Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? Muralman: Just read over some of your responses. Aragon Palladiums can rum 1 ohm and below with realitve ease. Very underrated amp,especially for driving extreme low impedance loads. Awhile back we did a lil test running 4(at one point we had 6 sp... |
