Wich high end CD palyer?
Ccereda, at the moment I'm writing this response I'm listening to my system with an Ensemble transport and the Accustic Arts DAC1 MK3 as the digital front end. I believe that if you go to a thread I started entitled: Reference DACS/ An overall per... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Branimir, I'm curious if you ever got your Stealth Sextet cables to audition yet? Also, have you had a chance to listen to Krell's new CDP, if its already out, or other DACS since the CES show? It's always interesting to hear your opinion on diffe... 
Reference Transports: An overall perspective
Ubglub, the company that built the 31.5 transport was Mark Levinson, as far as I can tell they no longer offer this piece. The production of this reference and highly regarded transport ended about five years ago. It sold for $10000.00 new and be ... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Branimir, just got the information regarding Stealth's new "Dream" speaker wire and power cord. Both have just gotten into the Beta-testing process. The "Dream" speaker wire will retail for $10000.00 for a 2.5 meter pair. Did not get any informati... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Exlibris, does this mean that you have given up your quest to audition non-upsampling DACS for right now? That you finally decided that it would not be fair to change your Meitner Dac without first hearing how it would perform with its matching tr... 
Cable suggestions for my system
Eugene2, I use a Pass Labs X-350.5, in a bi-amped arrangement, to power Magnapan MG-20r's and after auditioning at least five highly rated IC's and speaker wire finally chose Acoustic Zen's new reference called the Absolute. I wrote a review here ... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Branimir, regarding your question on the new Stealth speaker cable and power cord, I must admit my ignorance concerning them. However, I will check in with one of my audiophile advisers, who happens to be a Stealth dealer, after the CES show which... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Branimir, I will find it very interesting what your experience of the Stealth Sextet cable will be in your systems. At this point some people would have to think I own stock in the Stealth company because I'm always sharing my excitement about the... 
Reference Transports: An overall perspective
I have had in my rig the following transports: 1) CEC-TL1 It sounded wonderfully smooth with great liquidity but lacked dynamics and deep bass. 2) ML-31.5 Very detailed, dynamic, great bass, and was very smooth but not warm sounding like the CEC t... 
Reference DACS: An overall perspective
Exlibris, I always find your comments interesting and led me to more questions after reading them. 1) Did you have have the chance to audition the Audiomat reference Dac which does not upsample? 2) Did you audition the AA DAC1mk3 with the Sextet o... 
The best audiophile "gag" gift for X-Mas
Nrchy, I would be more than happy to send you, as a belated X-mas present, my Intelligent Chip. I have a hunch based on faith, that you might hear a difference in your system. Before I will send it to you, if you are interested, I'll first meditat... 
Threshold SA/3 to Pass Labs X250 comparison?
Null1, if you think the X-350 is better then the X-250, I recommend you audition a X-350.5, I believe you would be amazed at how much better the .5 is then the orginial 350 across all sonic factors. I kept my Aleph 1's after audtioning the first g... 
The best audiophile "gag" gift for X-Mas
Albert, when I originally started this thread it was only to have fun and share a good laugh with fellow Audiogon members like yourself regarding ridiculous products like the Intelligent Chip. I had no idea that anyone would take the gist of this ... 
Clever Lil Clock - What's up with this?
Gerryn, I started a thread entitled, The best audiophile gag gift for X-mas, regarding the same company's Intelligent chip upgrade for CDP's, that you might want to take a look at. They market nothing but "snake Oil" products that are supposed to ... 
The best audiophile "gag" gift for X-Mas
Nrchy,Five years ago I would not have even responded to your ignorant and misinformed statements regarding the scientifically based fact of Natural Selection as a valid explanation of the development and wonderful diversity of life on this planet....
