| Tekton Pendragons I bought a pair of Pendragons in October, 2015. I had them for a week and did not like them one bit. I really tried to like them but in my room, the bass was horrible. I schlepped those monsters all over my listening room and could not get a satis... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES: fresh firmware update today I just installed the new firmware, thanks for the tip! I hope the remote app on my iPad still works properly. The last time I did a firmware upgrade, there was an update to the remote app from Apple. | |
| Best sounding universal player (CD, DVD-A, SACD) The Esoteric UX-1 uses the Burr Brown Pcm1704 R to R Ladder Dac which IMHO is one of the best sounding dac chips out there. I personally have an Esoteric UX-3 with the same dac and it is definitely a keeper. | |
| Baetis Audio Is it the real deal? I also have the Sony HAPZ1ES server/player and I am extremely satisfied with it. For the coin, I have not heard better. It’s very easy to use and comes with a great iPad remote app. The only drawback is you have to transfer the files via the ether... | |

| PrimaLuna cable needs I'm using Triton Twos with a Parasound Halo Integrated and Groneberg Quattro Reference speaker cable and interconnects. Sounds wonderful. | |
| Audible Illusions M3a preamp I had a 3A and now have the 3B. It is night and day difference. The switching is now done by relays and the noise floor is much lower which makes for a much quieter preamp. | |
| CD Transport for a reasonable price (pref under $500) Yes I do have experience with it. I recently purchased one to replace a Sony cd player that cost 3K new. This is a really nice and solidly built cd player with a reasonably thick front panel and a "real" cd audio drive. This isn't a cheap compu... | |
| CD Transport for a reasonable price (pref under $500) New Cambridge Audio CXC Transport is 450.00 from Spearit Sound. | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum (hum/noise) The transformer hum and slight amount of noise is normal. Hey, what do you expect for a 100wpc tube integrated amp that only costs 2,200.00? I never tried the phono stage, so I can't comment on it. If you want less noise and more refined soun... | |
| VPI Scount to Prime, now static Is it possible that you are carrying the static charge and discharging when coming in contact with the metal platter while removing the record? That could be the case as you wouldn’t get that with the acrylic platter. I solved that problem by gett... | |
| Concert Experience for $5k? Golden Ear Triton 1. New=4,995.00 |
