| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner I have owned EMM Labs dac (unfortunately had to sell due to financial reasons), and recently heard some Wadia (a stock 860x I believe). There is NO comparison- the Wadia sounded dry and digital- not so with the Emm Labs. Mind you, that was the 860... | |

| Sonic Frontiers- Quality and Reliability? ...Heard the reference SF T3/P3 (Transport 3, or 'Iris', and Processor 3 with the proprietary 'Ultra-Analog' dacs and outboard power supply) digital combo a few weeks ago (original retail $16k USD for both pieces). They are connected (optimally) t... | |
| Sonic Frontiers- Quality and Reliability? disagree with above- my modded SF Line 3 blows away my old ARC LS16 in all parameters... | |
| DLP vs Plasma/LCD Semi- it sounds like you know what you are talking about. There is ONE set that REALLY impressed me more than any other I have seen: Runco 42" plasma using Runco's own outboard scaler, however it retails for ~$18k CDN here in Toronto ($14k USD). | |
| Are there ANY Plinius SA-250 MKIV owners around? Ken- an excellent post. That is great information, and interesting how you and Saltyflies are both using ARC LS-series preamps- coincidence? The description of the sonic subtleties you have found with the SA-250 is exactly what I am looking for, a... | |
| Are there ANY Plinius SA-250 MKIV owners around? Saltyflies- my speakers are large, 200lb. 9-driver design, yet fairly high efficiency (97db) Coincident Total Victory with ribbon tweeter. They are very revealing, yet also go down to 28hz, and actually like a bit of power, yet problematic, in tha... | |
| Are there ANY Plinius SA-250 MKIV owners around? Kgurtner- thanks for the response. I've never heard the 102, but can appareciate it is probably similar to the 250MKIV I heard recently. The 250 was great in that it seemed to control the speaker very well, and had a natural unforced 'together' qu... | |
| Meitner DCC2 I would love to know why EMM Labs won't make a one-box cdp. Given their excellent dac technology, it would surely be superb, and perhaps even a bit cheaper than their current trans/dac 2-box approach that many of us (me included) can't currently a... | |

| Any superb balanced dacs up to $2,500 used?? Golden Ears- have you heard the Audio Logic 24MXL? | |
| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? Daltonlanny- My Sim W-3 uses Bipolars exclusively- 8/channel | |
