| Optical or coaxial - which one better for digital Tbooe, I never had a good experience with optical cables in my system, so I gave up on them along time ago. I would really recommend that you audition the Stealth Sextet, also read my review here on the GON, it's the best I have ever heard and I a... | |
| Cardas Vs. Acoustic Zen Mamhoon, I would not say that the Acoustic Zen speaker wire lacks warmth, it does not, it just offers what your calling warmth(liquidity/musicality) with much better details,macrodynamics, and extension then the Cardas GR.In my system I use Absolu... | |
| Accustic Arts Dev, I saw that you have your Accustic Arts Drive1-MK2 on sell here on the GON. Does that mean you got your Oracle 2000 transport already and thought it out performed the Accustic Arts Drive? Please share what has taken place if that is the case, ... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage I would like to address a couple of different items with this post.1) In a past conversion with John Chapman, he shared that S&B was very annoyed that he would not jackup the price of the TAP for the North American market, so they could ask fo... | |
| Accustic Arts Just wanted to share that I had the pleasure of having in my home two new audiophile friends to listen to my system last week.The relevancy for this thread regarding their visit is that one of these gentleman mainly came over to hear the Accustic ... | |
| pass x250 vs 250.5 The answer that Tpk123 gave you is spot on the truth. The X-.5 series was a great/dramatic improvement over the first generation X series. In this case the price difference is well worth it. | |
| Passive Pre Recommendations Gbslps, take a look at my recent review here on the GON on the Bent Tap passive, which includes a comparison with the other very highly regarded passive the Placette, for alot of information you might find very helpful. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Playntheblues, I wish you good luck on your purchase of the Accustic Arts DAC1-MK4, however in this case "ladyluck" will not be necessary for your total enjoyment of your new piece. So far, everyone I know who has put it into their system has been... | |
| Nufore ref 9 se vs kharma mp150 Tda2200, I have heard many different class D amps, including the Nuforce, and believe the Kharma amps sonicly are head and shoulders above the rest of the pack. If you look at my threads I have one about the Kharma amps, it will give you more spec... | |
| Accustic Arts Dev, there's no doubt that the Dac1-MK4 was a vast improvement over the MK3. When I got the MK4 I was still using a reference transport from Ensemble, that's still a great piece, however when I auditioned the AA Drive1-MK2 every thing got better(t... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Audiofeil, hi Bill, could you share your opinion on the sonic differences between the Esoteric X-1 SE/LE and the current X-01D2. I have found the X-1SE to be a very, to use the jargon of this thread, type #1 flavor. I admired many of its sonic att... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Tedmbrady, how's the experiementing with your different speakers/gear with the Tap been going? Are you missing in some way your Modwright tubed preamp?It would be great to hear from you regarding what your recent impressions have been regarding th... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Drubin, I agree the Tap is neither solid state or tubes, that's why passives are alternatives to both types regardless if their transformer or resister based.Did you ever come to any conculsions regarding the Tap in your system? It would be great ... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Audphile1, I know the Tap is very forgiving of impedences in single ended mode, so I would expect it not to change drasticly when used balanced.However, the best thing to do is to contact John Chapman, just talked to him day, who's a great gentlem... | |
| Accustic Arts Dev, I'm quite sure you will enjoy your Accustic Arts DAC1-MK4 in the context of your reference level system. I will be very interested in your impressions of the Bent Tap compared with the other preamps that you sonicly know already. You might wa... |
