| Reimyo DAP 777 - looking for a good transport I never heard the Dap-777, so it is pretty hard to recommend a transport. If you review for those of us who have not heard it, we could make a more lucid recommendation. | |
| Burned out Audiophile - Trying to Find some Zen I have also been an Audiophile for over 35 years and also was co-owner in an audio salon. I burned out once and did not have a system for three years. After that time I slowly began to realize that external pressures as in, Stereophile and Absolut... | |
| Preamps with Dual Main Out? Classe CP-65 it is more that $1000 but it is worth it. | |
| Monitors for great 2 channel, and home theater With a 4k budget you should dry Eggleston Isabella with stands and a Rel Strata sub. Absolutely esquisite. | |
| General transport Question You hear a lotta reasons as in less jitter, no interference from analogue output sections, less vibration etc. that stand alone transports sound better than the digital output of a CDP. In all the transports i've owned, when compared to similar pr... | |
| Is "warm" a compliment or a criticism? It's usually neither. It is more like a benchmark as with dead neutral as the center. Krell preamps have had the reputation as being stark, cool, tremendous base slam. Where the top end Classe preamp, has been descriped as warm, rounded,laid back ... | |
| Are "Redbook Only " CD players Obsolete? At this time, absolutely not. Universal players that play every format are OK for Audiophiles that want an affordable digital front end. However; Audiophiles that have near or state of the art Redbook CD front ends are generally disappointed in th... | |
| Sony DVP-S9000ES redbook playback I had a Sony 9000ES and after break in, the redbook was far below audiophile standards and the SACD performance was so far below my digital front end for redbook (DCS Purcell, Levinson dac and Acoustic Arts transport)there was nothing else to do, ... | |
| Turntable Purchase Suggestion I would recommend a Verdier Plantine table, Morch arm and Koetsu cardridge. I have had this set up for over ten years and had very little adjustments and this set up can hold it own against any set up. I also use a Rhea. | |
| Silly Question...does a transport have a "sound" ? Hi All, I guess it's back up on my soap box again. Well in January I wrote about the different sounding transports and, then my current transport the CEC TL-1. It appears like children and animals, when you talk about them they act up. My CEC star... | |
| Silly Question...does a transport have a "sound" ? Hi All, there will always be the discussions in high end audio whether you can hear the difference in like components. I have been an audiophile for nearly 40 years and not to long ago Electrical Engineers said that if two 100 watt amps have the s... | |
| Anyone own Eggleston Works Isabel? I have posted in the past with the same components, however; different speakers. Recently I bought a pair of Egglestonworks Isabel and matching stands online from Perotta Consulting. I must say, Anthony Perotta is patient and knows his stuff and I... | |
| Who has used a Genesis Digital Lens? Iv'e used a Genesis Digital lens for at least three years between a CEC TL-X1 and a Mark Levinson # 35 20 bit Dac. Any dac that is lower than 24 bits benefits from using the lens, as in blacker backrounds, extended extremes, focus of soundstage, e... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel I remember with the introduction of CD, the New York Times had an article that CD reproduction is perfect sound forever. And stated the new medium is much better sounding than vinyl. Most Audiophiles started giving away their turntables. Whether t... | |
| Levinson 35 versus 36 DAC The Levinson # 35 dac IMO bests the 36 in all areas, not even close. The 360 matches up better against the # 35, toss up, it all depends on system. The Levinson #360S is the best of all three. |
