| Rega Saturn. Is it really a giant killer? There seems to be some consensus that the Saturn has a more natural treble and better bass. But then people are divided as to how much better the Saturn is. Some think it is not worth 2.4 times the price, and could live with the Apollo. Others thi... | |
| Primare A32 - any thoughts? I looked at Primare's website, and it is a 89 lb. amp with 16 outputs per channel, designed by Michael Bladelius, formerly of Threshold. At $5,000, it seems like a bargain.I am curious what this unit sounds like. Anyone else hear or own one?Zormi,... | |
| Rega Saturn. Is it really a giant killer? With all due respect to Mr. Schroder, he is a reviewer, and many of us have come to distrust reviewers after finding the product isn't what they say it is. I'm not saying that is the case here, but I don't know.It seems the consensus here is that ... | |
| Rega Saturn. Is it really a giant killer? The more I research these players, the more I find that bothers me. In Stereophile's review, March 2007, p. 27, Tellig quotes Rega's owner: "With the given technology we had to build it as inexpensively as possible." Now, that's a mouthful. It's $... | |
| Rega Saturn. Is it really a giant killer? Thanks, Kehut. Was the Apollo burned in enough? I know you said, "over some time", but if that was say, 50 hours, maybe it wasn't enough.I also went to Audioreview.com and read the reviews there by owners. Some were glowing, others were not. I'm g... | |
| Rega Saturn. Is it really a giant killer? Kehut, you said you didn't warm up to the Apollo. Could you describe what you heard?The review you were referring to is Tellig's recent review in Stereophile on both players. He was inconsistent in that review, as first he said there wasn't much d... | |
| Review: Conrad Johnson CT6 Tube preamp Zear, I heard the same thing in the highs on the CT5. I remember reading comments about BAT preamps where people were arguing that the top end did or didn't have the treble extension the extreme highs, and these were specifically models that use t... | |
| Review: Conrad Johnson CT6 Tube preamp Zear- you're right about cables. Some friends & I tried a bunch of cables and each one gave a markedly different result. I guess the elegant simplicity of the CT (composite triode) design creates such a clear window on the sound that it reveal... | |
| Review: Conrad Johnson CT6 Tube preamp I've used Ac.Zen Matrix for a number of years and that's what I'm using with the CT6. Haven't done much experimentation with cables recently. | |
| Review: Conrad Johnson CT6 Tube preamp Zear, I went ahead and bought the CT6 and love it. I threw a CD on repeat and burned it in two days. Voila! Sounds terrific. Then I read Jeffreybehr's post in this thread on the MET5, which is basically a 5 channel CT6. This got me obsessed on 5 c... | |
| Review: Conrad Johnson CT6 Tube preamp I was trying to find someone who had this preamp, so thanks for your review.I had the CT6 in my system for the weekend, and I thought it was a wonderful sounding preamp. What impressed me the most was how natural singers sound. My friends and I ha... | |
| Conrad Johnson CT6. Anyone hear one? I read again the review in Enjoy the Music. Here is the link:http://www.enjoythemusic.com/superioraudio/equipment/1006/conrad_johnson_ct6.htmIt's certainly a bang-up review, and doesn't sound like it was written by a shill for the manufacturer. Bu... | |
| Conrad Johnson CT6. Anyone hear one? Dopogue, if the unit you listened to wasn't broken in, I think it was a meaningless comparison. | |
| Conrad Johnson CT6. Anyone hear one? There is a rave review of the CT6 on Enjoythemusic.com, but I don't put a lot of stock in reviews.Yeah, I know CJ is big on the teflon stuff, but they are still using polypropylene and polystyrene caps in the CT6, which is more than a lot of other... | |
| Law of Diminishing Returns - CD/SACD Players Many audio dealers say that the quality of your source will bring the biggest difference in your end result. I don't know, as I certainly hear considerable differences between DACs.Further, people say a great transport makes a huge sonic differenc... |
