| A great article on Class D/switching amps Branimir, you are quite correct. I have never auditioned the present Krell Evolution generation of amps. I was refering to past experiences with prior generations of Krell gear, that was not my cup of sonic tea.Muralman1, it sure would be fun to h... | |
| A great article on Class D/switching amps Chris, you asked a great question, so let me answer it in three ways:1) As a reference point I'm not a fan of amps like Krell or Halcro or speakers like Wilson because I find them to have certain qualities (details, dynamics, transparency) but for... | |
| A great article on Class D/switching amps Vince, without being disrespectful or mean spirited towards you or Mr. Ho, if he can make his D amps sound exactly like my Pass Labs XA-100's or a dartZel I will order a pair right now.This sounds like a claim made almost twenty years ago by Bob C... | |
| Footers and Running Springs Audio Haley? Jaybar, I use a Jaco in my system, it's a great piece in my opinion, and I have tried Goldmund cones and wood blocks, instead of the sorbethane feet and heard no difference at all in any way. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Sabertouch, at one time I had the ML-31.5 as my reference transport, but it was replaced by an Ensemble reference because it offered better performance in my system. However, the ML-31.5 is still a great transport and very competitive with other t... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Petland, I believe what you are concerned with, losing extension on the top and bottom, to get maybe a little more "warmth/liquidity" in the midrange, would be the end result with the Audio Note 3.1 DAC.When I auditioned an Audio Note 3.1 in my sy... | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? Pubul57, the tube preamps were the reference Lamm, Hovland HP-100 and Audio Research's reference before the Ref 3. What you might find interesting is that I was discussing preamps with a dealer who is a tube "maven" about what would be worth audit... | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? Pubul57, I have in my system the Placette dual active line stage that replaced a Mark Levinson reference 32, that cost $10000.00 more then the Placette! However, it's performance was head and shoulders better then the ML-32.The Placette was among ... | |
| Audio Aero Prestige vs. Esoteric X-01 Limited Saxguy71, if you go to my thread entitled, Reference DACS: An overall perspective the following will make perfact sense to you.The Audio Aero Prestige is a very type 2 flavor and the Esoteric is a very type 1 flavor. Both very good but not only di... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks Scientist73, I would recommend you not only try the wonderful Acoustic Zen Silver reference II, but you might also audition the Acoustic Zen Matrix reference II which offers a "warmer" sonic signature then the all silver cable.Said with respect, I... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, as always good to hear from you and thanks for sharing your more recent ranking of digital front ends. I will take it as a compliment that you ranked the Accustic Art combo number four, considering that it costs almost $15000.00 less the... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, I give you much credit for your tenacity regarding home auditions of different gear in order to get the overall sonic signature and synergy you want in your system.I also believe this ongoing thread regarding reference DACS proves the fo... | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? Pubul57, I went from a Mark Levinson reference 32 preamp to the Placette dual active line stage because it offered a much higher level of sonic performance. A good friend and fellow audiophile loved the Placette active, but it was not in his budge... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective Pardales, I think you might be surprized how much of a sonic improvement you would hear with a reference level transport compared with a hard-drive.I'm no engineer so I don't know why a reference transport would perform better then a hard-drive or... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, now that I have had the Accustic Arts Drive 1-MK2 in my system for over a week, I would highy recommend you set up an audition to try with your new reference DAC. I believe the AA transport is on a much higher level of performance compar... |
