| why are wilson speakers so highly regaurded. It depends who you talk to.Personaly I find them overpriced and I overwhelming..There are a good deal of people who who do not like them,and as you can see there are plenty for sale on this sight alone.So maybe they are not the highly regarded aft... | |
| Vonschweikert VR4 GENIII? Go for it.The difference is obvious,and the gain is overall quality of transparency is tremendous.For 2500.00 it is a steal. | |
| Audiophile novice needs your expert opinion Get yourself the "magic box" from Aragon/Acurus/Klipsch(any Klipsch/Aragon dealer can order it) and it will solve your problem.You shoud be able to get it for around 100.00. | |
| dCS Purcell/Delius vs. WADIA 27ix In my opinion the DCS combo is the winner,but not by much.The Wadia is also excellent.Either way you win. | |
| Best amp for VonSchweikert VR5? Since I am familiar with you equipment and talking to you,Break in is not the probelm.Though Plinius is a very good amp it also has matching problems (as do many other components) in your system with the VR5s.Both cabling or the amp could be the c... | |
| No Stereophile review for Aragon Palladium II? Aragon never really had money to advertise and play the same game as the mass production companies.When Paul Rosenberg sold Mondial to Klipsch,and influx of cash was gained.Klipsch obviously is seriously throwing money into the former Mondial line... | |
| which DAC to buy ? Personaly I think either the DCS Delius or Elgar surpass any of those you have listed. | |
| Speakers for Aragon/Acurus Lokk at the Von schweikert VR 3.5s.Right at your price range.If you can swing a little more cash also the VR4 gen IIIs. | |
| Pre/pro that is good for sacd multi channel? The Aragon Soundstage is an Ideal cannidate,with full analog bypass. | |
| Digital Amps Personally I think the Spectron wins hands down.The Bel Canto sound very digital on the high end.The Tact is just plain overpriced and uses the same tripath technology as BC.I have notice alot of BCs being dumped on Audiogon. | |
| What is the future of Acurus? Yes Acurus has been discontinued.However do not fret as it will be sold under the Aragon name at the same price point.They introduced their new models at CEDIA.They will have a new pre/pro with 24/192 dacs available later this year retailing at 34... | |
| SACD : why ? Of course you are entitled to your opinion,but this story just does not seem to wash,at least with me.I could put 15 people in a room and tell them nothing about what type of disks were being played and I can guarantee there would be at least 1 pe... | |
| Siemen tubes in Sonic Frontier line 2 ? The Siemens E88CC are one of the nicest tubes available for the SFIL2.You only need 2 to make a huge diffrence in the sound.I believe there is a matched pair at auction right here on Audiogon.The Sovteks in the line 2 are average.The Siemens will ... | |
| the who MFSL produced some excellent CDs,but there are some standouts and Whos Next is certainly one of them.Unfortunatly this is a very hard and expensive cd to find. | |
| Upsampling disadvantges, mutliplying the mistakes?? Well I did not go quite that far,by saying it is crap,but PCM is a flawed technology,and by upsampling you are also taking the errors,and the good and upsampling.Other than some very expensive upsampling DACs(Purcell and one there brand I cannot r... |
