| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Jafox, It's prestidigitation. Transmutation of elements. Seriously, if you follow my postings I never lose the plot. I have been commenting consistently on the shortcomings IMHO of the so-called blind shoot-out and how it could have been improved.... | |
| Tweaks for EMM CDSA SE ... ? Rgs92, There is a lot more that I have done that I have not posted here. Everything I have done has helped. Some things are "big wow" and other things are "little wow". But it all adds up. It is cumulative. You and I agree that the EMM is special.... | |
| Tweaks for EMM CDSA SE ... ? Rgs92, this is proving to be a work in progress. No surprise, I guess. I have a new EMM CDSA SE tonight at home. The machine is the same but the sound has been transformed with the single stroke of a brush -- an Oyaide P-004 plug installed in the ... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Joeyboynj and Flashunlock, I'm enjoying my PowerCell 10SE very much. I have my old Tesla Plex as my wall receptacle at the end of a 20-amp dedicated line. I had the new Tesla Plex SE plugged into the Tesla Plex on the end of a stock PC with a stoc... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Cbw723, Depression? Certainly not. We're just telling it like it is. Ted is right about Bill (Audiofeil) who went to the trouble to send me a PM the other day when I made a comment about his sense of humor needing some work. Frankly, I feel there ... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Exactly. | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Pubul57, thank you for clarifying this. You're right, there are no absolutes. The thrust of what I am talking about is the extent to which a shoot-out is helpful for those reading these forums in evaluating equipment. I don't feel the shoot-out in... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Cbw723, I really hadn't thought about the specifics of how to set up a more "revealing" shoot-out. Your suggestion makes complete sense to me. The people who know each player well could bring it to the shoot-out already tuned. This would be far be... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Cbw723, I agree that the presence of one of the makers at the shoot-out compromised the test. At least one of those present was not blind. Subconscious influence cannot be underestimated in such a situation. I also feel that a greater variety of C... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Pubul57, I think your comments were directed at my posting, if I am not mistaken. I was not talking about a "100% perfect decision". I was talking about a well-informed decision. There is no such thing as perfection as we all know. And there is no... | |
| Tweaks for EMM CDSA SE ... ? Rgs92, with my SR PowerCell 10SE connected my system is rocking and rolling. The Gabriel Gold cables are working very well for me. I am tweaking a lot now. Before I installed the PowerCell I was trying out the Oyaide INS-CF Isolation Devices. They... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Audiofeil, you need to work on your sense of humor. Fplanner, Mrtennis,Sebrof, et al. I was fortunate to pick up a mint EMM CDSA SE recently at a 50% discount. Even at the price I paid it was over the top for me but I went for it because I didn't ... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Are Gabriel Gold cables really this good? They certainly are -- in spades. I just installed a Synergistic Research PowerCell 10SE power conditioner with Galileo MPC in my system. I have mostly Gabriel Gold cables in my system -- ICs, PC and SCs. T... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players When I commented earlier about missing "variables" in the shoot-out I am now able to expand on what I was talking about. I have the 1-box EMM CDSA SE. Without a power conditioner it is very resolving with excellent dynamics but the sound stage is ... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Tvad, it just goes to show you how we all have to take the measure of things in each of our systems. Sharing this information is extremely valuable but YMMV with each element added. I will not put a number on the EVS and the MiGs. I give them both... |
