| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Diw, because of the quality of the 2 channel sound. I cannot afford the quality that I have in my two channel system for more channels, especially as the demonstrations that I have heard leave me with no interest. Furthermore, outputs for all of t... | |
| Is the Exemplar 3910 clearly superior to the 2900? Kana, I use the Reimyo 300B amp and Beauhorn speakers. Other stuff includes Acapella and Indra ics, Omega Mikro speaker wires, Mana stands with Neuance shelves, and Hallographic room treatments. | |
| Is the Exemplar 3910 clearly superior to the 2900? Yes, it did. It never got worse, was never a problem, was common to every Denon I have heard, and is still true in the 3910. Is it an annoyance? No, it merely lets you know when you are about to hear music. I seldom hear it between tracks. It may ... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Guidocorona, please don't assume that I am a Texan. Yes, I have lived here for 25 years, but I have also lived in Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Oregon, California, Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania. Shootouts are not a communal activity but rath... | |
| Is cheater plug safe with grounded monster power? All depends on whether the plug going into the Sirius is at 12 volts or 120 volts. I have no idea. It takes about 32 volts for current to flow through your body, so a 12 volt wire under no circumstances can hurt you. If the body of the Sirius is n... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? I think shootouts are useless. Where it possible to capture the comparison in a truly revealing system in a great room and make this available to all for their personal evaluation, we could move ahead on this. But in any shootout there will be no ... | |
| Is the Exemplar 3910 clearly superior to the 2900? I, of course, never heard the Denon 3910 in stock form, but I think it is a mis-characterization to say this is a "latest model syndrone." John Tucker told me that his initial intent was to have another available Denon universal player to serve as... | |
| Is cheater plug safe with grounded monster power? Huh? Please explain | |
| Is cheater plug safe with grounded monster power? Ldatlof, yes I am surprised that Rex even has electricity in his house. | |
| Is cheater plug safe with grounded monster power? They are; this is why you get ground loops. Sometimes, however, the chassis is not grounded to neutral or to anything. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Avguru, please bear in mind that the Exemplar needs 300 hours on it! I really doubt whether you have heard the Exemplar/Denon 3910 at its best given necessary breakin or complete modification. I have not heard recent Dan Wright mods and am unlikel... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? I wish I could participate in comparing these units, but Texas is just too far away. My Exemplar/Denon 3910 is so superior to anything else I have ever heard that I just find it hard to believe there are better units. Its dynamics and fidelity to ... | |
| Vintage tubes skyrocketing in price Yioryos, I have recently sought Seimans CCas which are related to 6DJ8s. I ended up paying $215 for two. They came from Argentina, which gives you an idea of how rare NOS is becoming. There are also sought after Telefunkens CCas which seem to sell... | |
| Vintage tubes skyrocketing in price The dwindling supply is certain part of the problem, but so is inflation. Remember that a $5 tube in 1950 would now cost you $37. Best advice is to buy what you can afford now or you will regret it later. | |
| Isolation Platform - to be or not to be for CDP? Rcrump, interesting that you report this. In one sense you are right. In my system the Lindemann sounded so outstanding that Fred bought one. He was disappointed when he got it. Having heard it there, I strongly suggested that he try the Mana. It ... |
