Add a external DAC, buy EAR Acute or go PC`? Fjn04,I've read everything I can about the Acute. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to listen to one or to speak to an owner. Could you share your impressions of the units performance?Thanks! | |
Add a external DAC, buy EAR Acute or go PC`? Gut_man,If you buy an EAR Acute you will be able to sell your preamp (assuming you have no other components that need it). The Acute has a tube output stage with an analog volume control making a preamp un-necessary. So sell your CDP and preamp an... | |
beautiful piano recordings: solo or small ensemble Try Taylor Eigsti, Resonance. Very nice jazz paino trio. | |
Do 1M iCs sound better than .5M? Chayro,I've owned the same cables in both .5m and 1m lengths. If there was a difference it was inaudible. I wouldn't worry about it unless the manufacturer discourages the .5m. | |
Tube CD-player question The EAR Acute has received some outstanding reviews but I have not heard one. Still, something to investigate. Tube output stage with analogue volume control. | |
Dissapointed buyer, item malfunctions experience? Unfortunately this could happen to anyone. Item works perfectly, packed and shipped, doesn't work on other end. Who knows what the package went through, even if there are no signs of damage. Good faith seller, good faith buyer. Good faith resoluti... | |
What's your latest "Discovery" Taylor Eigsti-Resonance 2003. Superb jazz piano trio. After listening to this CD I couldn't believe his age, 19 when he recorded this. Sounds like someone who has devoted his life to refining his chops. No matter his age, just an excellent CD. Mig... | |
Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner As a Wadia owner I understand Jtinns opinion on the brand. I agree that there is a certain digital quality to its presentation.On the other hand having dealt with Steve at GNSC, they offer quality well thought out mods that improve the Wadias perf... | |
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Yes, I've owned the Extremes and received my Revelations a couple of weeks ago. Now thinking about a speaker cable purchase. Seems there aren't as many out there as the ICs. But what I've heard about the speaker cables has been positive. | |
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Gentlemen,How about a bit more feedback on the speaker cables. Thanks! | |
Pat Metheny Fans, Great Suggestions Please ?? ECM released all their PM stuff in Japan on gold and regular CDs. Both series were limited edition in mini-lp sleeves. More recently, a few PM CDs were released in the "Jazz the Best" series at lower price than the ECM. Again, a few were gold and ... | |
Experience with Audio Alchemy DDS pro transport Satch,I really liked the I2S connection. I had some upgraded I2S cables that were excellent. I think they were made by Audio Magic but I'm not sure since it was quite a long time ago. If you decide to go with I2S I'd recommend searching these cabl... | |
Neil Young at Massey Hall Just received my copy from Japan. A superb CD on many levels. A real "you are there" intimacy. For a live album the sound is qreat. I even like the dialogue and guitar tunings between songs. And Neils voice sounds excellent. Some similarities to U... | |
New Michael Brecker CD, What a heart felt eloquent eulogy for a great sax man. His final album is IMO one of the finest jazz releases in years. RIP Michael Brecker. |
