| REVIEW: Salk Sound Veracity HT3 Schacter, very interesting review and I'm glad you are thrilled with your new speakers. Would you mind sharing what type of drivers/size of baffles/wired used/price,etc. with us about your new speakers? Thanks. | |
| Jazz Recommendations. I would recommend the following albums because they have enough melody and a blues feeling that a non-jazz person can relate to, but are still first rate classics: The Sidewinder by Lee Morgan. Midnight Blue by Kenny Burrell. Ballads by John Coltr... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Great question Steve, I'll be brief but hopefully informative. The CEC TL-0 added great smoothness/liqidity/warmth to any DAC that it was linked to. However, it's PRAT/bottom end was not as good as either the Levinson or the Ensemble transports. T... | |
| PassLabs X250 X350 and X250.5 Tdaudio, you are quite right, the 350.5 does offer about another 35 to 45 class A then the 250.5. What you are leaving out is that the first 5 to 8 watts in the 350.5 are single-ended class A, not just class A. For over nine years I powered my sys... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective One more piece of information that might be helpful to know would be all the DACS were audtioned using the following transports: Mark Levinson 31.5, Cec TL-0, or the Ensemble Dirondo. Thanks. | |
| PassLabs X250 X350 and X250.5 Ezaudio, in the first generation of X amps your 250 was the best sounding of the three two channel amps by far. I don't know if you talked to Peter or Kent at Pass, but when I did they both agreed that the new 350.5 was the new "sweet spot" in the... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Sorry, to anyone reading this thread, I forgot to mention that all statements regarding the sonic signature of these DACS is based only on redbook cds. Its the only format I listen to or care about. Thanks. | |
| Absolute Best CD Players Out There Under $12k ? I'm sorry if you took my post personnally, No1willfan, I was not trying to be nasty towards your question at all but be helpful. I gave you some suggestions, the Reimyo and Ensemble CDPS, and would also suggest/ask if your open to transports/dacs ... | |
| Absolute Best CD Players Out There Under $12k ? No1willfan, the way you phrased your question makes it almost impossible to answer. Yes, you put in your budget and the desire for great bass, however many of the CDPS you mentioned are wonderful pieces, but your leaving out the subjective factors... | |
| Has digital come close to or beat up analog yet ? Lithojoe[also known as the "old flaming fart"], if you want a serious answer by using your own ear's go audtion DACS or CDP from the following manufacturers: 1) Accustic Arts 2) Meitner 3)Zanden 4)Bel Canto 5) Reimyo. Just like analog front ends t... | |
| old vs new DAC designs and sound differences DAzzdax, I agree that new doesnot mean better or that any specific design( upsampling,non-upsampling,tube,ss) is superior sonicly compared to other well designed DACS. However, my experience with DACS is they can sound very different, as much as a... | |
| isolation transformer I use an Ensemble Duo Isolink for my digital front end with wonderful results(blacker background,more natural timbres,deeper bass,bigger deeper soundstage) and their are no negative aspects at all as far as I can tell. I have tried other power con... | |
| Suggestions for upgrading audioquest interconnects Leatherneck1812, if you want to upgrade in the Audioquest line I can't be helpful, since I never cared for the sound of their wires, however I would suggest you audtion Acoustic Zen's Silver reference II or Matrix reference II which give great per... | |
| Transport for Electrocompanient ECD-1 I agree with Danlibl, without a stated budget its hard to make a recommendtion. However, I have over time had a ML-31.5, CEC-TL1, and presently use an Ensemble-Dirondo transport in my system. I find the Dirondo to have the natural timbres/smoothne... | |
| Best speakers for Classical music under 10k used Hstokar, I would highly recommend you consider Magnapan's MG -3.6s that are great speakers in general but really shine on classical, jazz, and big band music. If you could find a used pair of MG-20's, they rarely show up used for sale, it would al... |
