| Pass Labs 350.5 Vs Classe CA401 Vs Plinuis S102 Jazzmeup, I would believe that you would find the Pass Labs 350.5 to have a "warmth/liquidity" that the Classe and Plinuis do not have. All the above stated amps are quick, detailed, and smooth, but the 350.5 has what alot of audiophiles would cal... | |
| What is the best DAC ever made? Bearotti, I don't believe their is one "BEST" DAC ever made, however if you want alot of information regarding reference DACS I would recommend you go to a thread I started entitled, Reference DACS: An overall perspective, that you would find very... | |
| Opinion on below 2 CD players ? Jeremy, the Ensemble Dirondo is very detailed, very dynamic, with a great bottom end and terrific layering in a large soundstage, but has a "cool" overall sonic signature.The AA Capitole MK 11 offers the above with somewhat less details and dynami... | |
| Pass X250 verses X250.5 Mitchb, the Pass X-.5 series is a significant improvement over the original X amps. I had a pair of Aleph 1 monoblocks and when I compared them to the X-amps I found that the X-series was more detailed, had a better/tighter bottom end, but were so... | |
| Paging Mr. Albert Porter Hi Albert, an audiophile friend asked me a question regarding Dali speakers that I could not answer, but thought you might be able to.The question regarded the Dali speaker, don't know the model number, but believe its their second best speaker af... | |
| 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... |
