| EMC-1UP SE interconnect? Tvad, would you be nice enough to share the following information concerning the Empirical Audio mod of your EMC1-UP SE: 1) What parts do they replace in the process.2)What is the cost for the mod.3)What sonic improvements/differences between the ... | |
| Need help with preamp purchase Chadaudio816, I would recommend you put on your audition list the Placette dual active line stage. It retails for $4500.00, but you can ask Guy Hammel, designer/owner of Placette, to build you one with balanced connections for a slight increase in... | |
| EMC-1UP SE interconnect? Johnmcalpin, I'm interested in what you heard regarding the sider clamp. I know from direct experience that it brought the performance of my girlfriend's player to a higher level, without any downside that I could hear. So, is this concern somethi... | |
| "Air, Extension, Resolution" Music or Hi Fi? Cwlondon, I have had MG-20's for over a decade and never found them to be "unmusical or lacking emotional involvement" at all. They just get better and better with finer gear upstream in my system. Yes, the ribbon tweeters are very revealing, but ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, my experience was that it was immediately superior to my old reference cable right from the moment I put it in my system. If it did improve, and I'm sure it did, it was a subtle change towards total brake in without steep/dramatic stops ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, thanks for the "WOW" for now. I'll find it very interesting what it will do with your Meitner gear and how you will describe your "take" on what it does sonicly in your system. As you know, I'm quite a fan of this cable and thought it wa... | |
| DartZeel compared to Pass Labs XA-160/200's Silentrunning, without being unpleasant about it, your response is totally irrevelant to the question I asked. I find it annoying , regardless of the topic of the thread, when someone only wants information concerning specific gear and someone bri... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, I found Robert Harley's piece on the new digital formats to be short, well written, and finally,regrettable. The HD DVD and Blu-ray CD are really aimed at the home theatre market and even if they would offer better sonics then standard r... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, have you seen the latest issue of the Absolute Sound? It has a feature article on your Krell Evolution gear by Anthony H. Cordesman. I thought you might find it interesting to compare your experience with these pieces, I know you think t... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, the other pre-amp that I thought was another great sounding unit was the Chapter Audio linestage. It to offered all the virtues we are looking for, dynamics/clarity/dynamics/natural timbres, along with a very smooth and warm sounding ove... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, sorry to hear that it just, "was not in the cards" to get the cable in time before having to return the Accustic Arts gear. I was looking forward to what your opinion was going to be regarding the combination in your system, but as you s... | |
| EMC-1UP SE interconnect? Peter, my girlfriend has this player in her system, I think it's a wonderful sounding CDP, we tried both balanced and unbalanced IC's and did not notice a significant difference in the sonics between the two. She finally settled on Acoustic Zen Si... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, because the way you hear/describe the sonics of different gear in your system, I mean't that as a compliment, I will be shocked if you are not shocked what will happen when you put the Stealth Sextet in your system. I was quite content w... | |
| If you had $12,000 for speakers and amp Jcb2000, if I had a budget of $12000.00 to spend on used speakers and amps I would choose the following: 1) MG-3.6's 2) Pass Labs X-600 monoblocks. This combination would offer great sonic beauty and that special planer trait of filling a room wit... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, I auditioned the Reimyo DAP-777 when my reference was still the Ensemble Hi-DAC and found it quite musical with relatively good details, but lacked the extension on the top and bottom, precise placement of players in the soundstage, and ... |
