| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Pardales, multiple threads seem to be going along on a single thread. I think your observations about the Exemplar 2900 are apt. I too found it did most for redbook while still improving sacd. I too lost interest in discriminating against cds as t... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Tom, I often I remember saying that. I would predict that in less than two years the APL will be long gone. I too cannot imagine anything better than the Exemplar 3910, but already there is talk about the Denon 5910. Especially on digital forever ... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Those of you who expected that the shootout would result in one unit standing have seen too many westerns. Having heard the TEAC DV-50 several times against first the Exemplar 2900 and more recently the Exemplar 3910, I cannot imagine how anyone c... | |
| Help on wiring dedicated circuit for Audio If you put in multiple dedicated lines, it is imperative that they all be on the same phase of the power line. Otherwise, you can have 240 volts between two components on different phases. It is improbable but dangerous if it happens. Also you may... | |
| What's after Supratek Ha, Ha! Rankins also. | |
| What's after Supratek Dennis, Rcprince is right I would strongly urge the H-Cat. But there is no remote. I have only had two good ss preamps among my many preamps, they are the TAG and the H-Cat or actually four H-Cats each getting progressively better. I do not think ... | |
| Audio Grade Fuse, Anyone? No, he is saying do not go without a fuse. | |
| Audio Grade Fuse, Anyone? Opusone, I have not tried the opposite direction. I did have some difficulty in establishing which was the direction going from the wall to the Exemplar. If you trace the path from the power cord to the fuse holder, it appears that the fuse holder... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? I was always surprised that there was even a consensus among the original three on this thread, and I must admit I doubted the validity of their conclusion. Now, it seems, there is no consensus and some have gone home with their vanity brushed. Wh... | |
| Audio Grade Fuse, Anyone? I got one IsoClean gold 1 amp 20mm fuse today. It fits my Exemplar 3910 universal player. It has a directional arrow on it and the instructions warn you to align it properly. I don't know which direction the arrow is supposed to go so I assume it ... | |
| Audio Grade Fuse, Anyone? Having been influenced a long time ago by Lloyd Walker to try checking which direction of the fuse sounds better, as well as to try SST on the fuse, I firmly believe in both tweaks. After look for silver fuses, I did learn of the gold IsoClean fus... | |
| CES 05 The many Audio Aeros may merely say that they made them available to all. I would be shocked were the Audio Aero the equal of the Zanden setup, not that I think either are top digital units. | |
| Resale value of modded CD players? I have sold two moded units thus far. I think that 50% is unduly low. On average these two got about 65% of new price. Much is going to depend on demand, of course. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? I think the power supply is stronger and more complex on the 3910 also. It is also substantially bigger although there is no greater room within to do mods. | |
| Why Linear Tracking never took off? Actually, I once had a Sony linear tracking table, but I recall nothing much about it. It did bring me back into vinyl and to the purchase of a Rabco arm. When was the PS X800 made? |
