| emmlabs cdsa-se vs esoteric 05 I am not using the Esoteric K05 but I do use an Esoteric UX3 player which also plays dvd audio. The VRDS NEO transport is one of the best in the business. My player uses the Burr Brown 1704 dacs and I believe the K05 uses the AK dacs which are sup... | |
| What started you on the path to being audionut? "Jameswei: My pride and joy were my Rectilinear 3 highboys. But years later when I read a column by Julian Hirsch about how modern speakers had surpassed them, I started upgrading again."My pride and joy were my Rectilinear 3A's. I read the same a... | |
| Is it just me or do others really miss A/D/S? I remember buying a pair of the ADS 810 speakers back in the 70's. I went to some audio store in Boston to hear them and was really impressed. I thought the midrange and tweeter looked cool too. I ended up buying them and taking them back home to ... | |
| Do you put as much effort into your Car Audio? Needfreestuff.....You are right. The bass impact is addicting. Some of the notes felt like I was punched in the stomach. To be honest, that system had nice sound staging, pinpoint imaging and accuracy and it made me want to drive for hours on end.... | |
| How far have you gone? Drove from Woonsocket, RI to Annapolis, Md for a pair of DeVore Gibbon 8 speakers. Was 850 miles round trip and I did it in 1 day. It was 2 days before New Years in 2009. Took me 18 hours to go an come back and I did it alone. Didn't care for the ... | |
| Do you put as much effort into your Car Audio? Back in the day (late80's and early 90's), I had a top of the line Kenwood cd changer with tuner pack, 2 pairs of ADS separate speakers (5 1/4 inch mids and dome tweeters), 2 15 inch Cerwin Vega subwoofers, 2 JL Audio 10 inch woofers, a 75wpc 4 ch... | |
| LZ Reissues - HD digital or LP? I have Led Zepp 1-3 on HD download. I have compared them against all the other reissues and like these the best. | |
| Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall I own the Von Schweikert VR-33 speakers, they are 7 inches from the wall. They image very well and the soundstage is wall to wall. | |
| What should I sell these for used here? Buyers? Throw it in the dumpster. Shame on you for trying to get the prices for free instead of using Audiogons Blue Book. | |
| Suggest SACD Player No Video, New or Used, $1kish? If you could go 1,200.00 you could get the new Marantz SA8005 SACD player. You could also use it as a dac later on down the road if you feel like getting into computer based audio. | |
| Anyone Experienced Douglas Cables? I still have the other speakers and I am enjoying them in my secondary system. I don't want to put them back in the main system because I listen to this system for5-6 hours daily while I am in my home office.You are right about getting used to the... | |
| Cello gear Audiogon Blue Book is your friend. | |
| Bye-Bye Simaudio Moon Amp Personally, I would stay away from class D amps. I haven't heard one yet that I liked enough to purchase. I would look into an Anthem multi-channel amp. They have gotten rave reviews and are an excellent buy for the money.. | |
| Anyone Experienced Douglas Cables? The Von Schweikert's were well broken in when I got them. The previous owner had them for 12+ months. I am going to keep what I have as there are no obvious flaws. | |
| Any audible illusion owners in socal ? Galen Carol in Texas also sells Audible Illusions. If you call Art Ferris, ask if they have any B stock for sale. You may get lucky. I own a Modulus 3B in my main system and a Modulus 3A in my secondary system. I have had an Audible Illusions prea... |
