| Great detail, refinement, mid-price office system? >>09-29-04: Elevick What tubes are your using?<<Stock tubes in the Jolida Stage 1 mod (Underwood) | |
| Great detail, refinement, mid-price office system? Tried Ridge Street Poeima!, Pure Note Cerulean, Verastarr Silver Reference - I dont think Ric's cables would be a significant improvement on those. I was thinking either the amp or the CD (or ? the speakers) or all - but that would be beyond budge... | |
| Stereovox cables, anyone? Anybody have a chance to compare Stereovoc i/cs or s/cs with Purist Dominus?Thanks | |
| EMM DCC2/CDSD versus Esoteric X-01 Please bear with me if these questions are obvious or been answered: I am hearing that the X-01 is a serious competitor, and preferred by anyone posting a comparison, that I have seen, to the EMM DCC2+ EMM transport and may be preferable economica... | |
| XLR? 1/4 trs? Help My best suggestion is to call Steve Aug at The Cable Company (Fatwyre.com - the website will give you the toll-free number - it's in Pennsylvania) and tell him you need a pair of cables with XLR/Balanced terminations. He'll tell you what's availab... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? >> Did any A goners ever try/feel that theory was useful<<Useful, yes; essential, no.Same way as I can tell whether I like the taste of a wine without knowing squat about the vintage, number of years in oak or even the name of the grap... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Sean,I have the following thoughts/queries about your stance:(bear with me if you've already addressed any of them in past posts):1. Do you have to intellectually have a picture of what measurable specs you are listening to and what the physical c... | |
| Which Beethoven's symphony do you like the best? The 9th.Harold Schonberg in [The Lives of the Great Composers] said it pretty well:[Here we are on a rarified plane of music. Nothing like it has ever been composed, nothing like it can ever again be. It is the music of a man who has seen all and ... | |
| Electraglide Ultra Kahn / Shunyata Anaconda vx I do not have either a Khan or Anaconda, but do have the new Michael Wolff Gain cords and find them to be very dynamic and fast - I have 4 runs, as my Atma-Spheres MA 2.2s each take 2 PCs, so could not compare them with many others, but they are c... | |
| Opinions on the SACD playback of Esoteric DV-50. I haven't heard other SACD players, but the DV-50 sounds amazingly good to me. It's not too shabby on redbook either and beats all the others I have heard, which admittedly is limited and excludes EMM, Exemplar, Opus 21 etc - which I have not hear... | |
| DV-50 Owners - a question, please Thanks for your responses. P 37 of the user's manual states under SACD playback : "Default setting is 2 Ch area", which had been my impression. On P 36 under Digital Out it says "Digital Out On (Default)when a component is connected via the Digita... | |
| Review: Michael Wolff Source and Gain Cords Power cord I now have Michael Wolff Source cords on CDP and preamp and Michael Wolff gain cords on my amplifiers. I have not done a formal A-B against 4 similar gain cords (my Atma-Spheres need 4 cords) but the combination of all source and gain cords has be... | |
| Kubala-Sosna & Meitner Emm Labs Gets my top Vote Macallan25, I just tried the interconnects. PCs, S/Cs all kept the same. Direct switch of Purist Dominus 2.5 m XLR for Kubala-Sosna Emotion XLR 2.5 m.The price differential is approximately 3:2 - Dominus approximately 1.5X price of Kubala. | |
| Kubala-Sosna & Meitner Emm Labs Gets my top Vote I compared the Kubala-Sosna top-of-the-line with Purist Dominus Rev C, running from Atma-Sphere MP-1 to MA 2.2 (mod) driving Kharma 3.2s with Dominus S/Cs. The Dominus was more refined and mellow, with the same dynamic range, equally tight bass, b... | |
| should everyone just order emm? The DCC2 is pretty expensive, but if replacing a very good CDP, the cost is not so outrageous, but add the EMM Transport and we are talking a lot of $$$.Anybody who has tried the modified Phillips compatible transport, please comment on1) availabi... |
