| Can pass labs ax160 macth b&w 802d ? I used to own the 802d and the XA160. I dont disagree with teajay's assessment of the XA's power limitations and sound. I personally think you want to look into amps that are more dynamic and transparent. To me the 802d has a great midrange but it... | |
| Best Sonos ZP-80 Mod? Based on this thread, I am going to give the Cullen mod a try. Unlike others, I am not trying to replace my cdp (Esoteric P3 D5 combo), though I do want my digital music to sound as good as reasonably possible. For me, my Esoteric serves as my pri... | |
| What would you upgrade next ?? I would look at improvements in the following order:1. Room treatments2. A new source. Based on what you mentioned you are looking for, I would seriously look at Esoteric cd players.3. Power source and power cords. | |
| Best female vocals on CD I am now a big fan of Rosie Thomas. Another one of my favorites is HEM. Check them out. | |
| Ripping CD Question I think the problem is that the cd is protected. I had this same issue with several cds. EAC would rip it without any problem but when I listened to the cd I heard a lot of skips like you. I am not sure if there is a way around this. My protected ... | |
| Review: Usher BE-10 Speaker mrjstark, now I really want to try and modify my BE-10, though I must admit serus' post has me concerned. That thing I want to do is damage my speakers. I sure wish someone local (Socal) would offer this mod and just do it for me! :) | |
| Best Sonos ZP-80 Mod? Thank you Janikian!All: I too purchased my Sonos purely because of its convenience. I have zone players in every bedroom (4), the family room, the backyard, the balcony, and my listening room. For every room other than my listening room I agree wi... | |
| Best Sonos ZP-80 Mod? janikan, does the Cullen mod still allow the ZP to update its software? Hopefully, the ZP will behave just like standard in terms of its sw upgradability. | |
| Best Sonos ZP-80 Mod? Mrjstark, do you actually have the Cullen mod? If so, can you please elaborate? BTW, do any of these mods affect the Sonos' sw upgradability? Sonos typically comes out with a sw release once a quarter. | |
| Review: Usher BE-10 Speaker Serus, I have toyed with the idea of improving the crossover and internal wiring though your description of what it will take has me a little worried. I am just a lazy audiophile and would love to just pay someone to do this for me. Do you have pi... | |
| Best Sonos ZP-80 Mod? I am very interested as well. I spent some time looking at the Cullen Circuits upgrade and it seems pretty solid though I wish it included a mod to the power supply as well. Cedar, I wonder if the power supply from Mr. Chow can be used in conjunct... | |

| Wasting money using Esoteric DV50s as Transport? my personal opinion is that the transport is critical to retrieving all the available data on a cd. So in this sense I dont think getting a top rated transport is a waste of money. Esoteric makes some of the best transport today. | |
| Esoteric SA-60 or Arcam 139 for 2CH Hi Rez Audio o Hughie, I have not heard the ARCAM but I do own the Esoteric P3D5 combo. By far, the Esoteric to me is the most detailed and dynamic cdp I have ever owned. I am constantly amazed at the level of low level detail and nuance the Esoteric is able to ... |
