| Esoteric x-03 se vs ARC cd3 mk2 Anthony,What are your experiences with the differences in the DV60, DV50S & X03? | |
| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? Just LISTEN to Pass X series. That will convince you there is no "looseness" or "lack of power" in power MOSFETs. I'm not trying to push the Pass, I'm just trying to get some rationality in this discussion.Execution and circuit design. These make ... | |
| ESOTERIC, WADIA -- How do they really sound? Sorry for the confusion. I meant $7K retail maximum, translating to $3-4K used.As far as greed is concerned, just because the ignorant populace will overpay for something, does not equate with what the item is really worth. There is an objective c... | |
| ESOTERIC, WADIA -- How do they really sound? Esoteric X-01 owners: thanks for your input; however, this model is too expensive for me. I'm looking for a unit that retails up to max $7,000, at a used price.That said, I understand the X-01 & X-03 use the Teac VRDS transport. This is consid... | |
| Parasound Halo JC-1 -VS- Bryston 7B-ST? Ruka, I think you are partially right. There are many run of the mill amps out there that don't get damaged from crossed terminals. They just shut down. Turn 'em on, they work fine. High power amps have more current movin' thru, so more potential ... | |
| Very Sad News: Jason Bloom of Apogee Is Dead What happened to him? Poor man. I am always sad when good and talented people leave this earth too early. | |
| Musical Fidelitya DAC 3 24 vs Bel Canto DAC2 I totally disagree. I had an EVS Millenium II, and when I got the Bel Canto DAC 2, the Bel Canto was superior to it. More refined and organic. | |
| Blue Gas in Tubes - Why? Is it Bad? I found the following on Audioasylum.http://users.erols.com/bluestat/FAQ/blue_glow.htmlThis indicates that the blue glow is normal and, as Viggen said, actually indicates a tube which is desirable.Unless others disagree....... | |
| Audio Research sp 11 compared to the sp 10 How does the SP10 compare to the newer stuff? | |
| Review: Audio Research LS-12 Preamplifier I see nothing wrong with relaying to a prospective buyer the knowledge that some owners of the LS-12 found it had shortcomings they couldn't live with. As to Katkrazy's system dependent comment, the difference in what tubes provide is hearable in ... | |
| Bruckner 9th... I have to eat my words. I pulled out my copy and listened to the Karajan 8th with VPO, and it is an epic performance. It is on the slow side, but so dramatic, sensitive, and full or color, that it is an interpretation for the ages. The VPO plays s... | |
| Preamp Choice: Rogue 99 Magnum vs. BAT VK30 Peter,I have different RCA NOS in mine. Black base, but older vintage. I may like the more upfront sound of yours, as I find mine more laid back. Perhaps we could work something out. Email me. | |
| Review: Audio Research LS-12 Preamplifier Others have said it lacks air, detail, treble extension, and ultimately, just sounds lackluster compared to a tube preamp. | |
| Preamp Choice: Rogue 99 Magnum vs. BAT VK30 Which RCAs are in there? Black base, brown base, GTA, GTA? | |
| VTL 5.5 vs. Rogue Magnum 99: Pretty much equals? Interestingly, both units use different tubes, the VTL 12AX7s, the Rogue 6SN7, yet the reviewer finds them rather similar.Still hoping someone out there has experience with both. |
