| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, the Pass Labs XA series adds even more "warmth/easyness" to the overall sonic signature of the .5 amps. If you like what must people would describe as a tube like quality, then the XA amps would be very pleasant sounding to your ears. Be... | |
| RCA Digital: Stealth, Pure Note, Cerious Rx8man, I have a philosophy, "if you have not heard it, you don't have an opinion", therefore I can't give you feedback on Paragon or Cerious, since I have never auditioned either cable. However, I have auditioned quite a few cables in my system, ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, as always thanks for sharing your experiences with us fellow GON members. Regarding your ranking of the digital gear in your dealers system, two qustions: 1) Do you think you will change your Jason/Medea front end to the Esoteric referen... | |
| RCA Digital: Stealth, Pure Note, Cerious Rx8man, I'm curious about why you are ruling out the Stealth Sextet. Is it totally the cost? The Sextet offers all the virtues you are looking for in a dramaticly better fashion then any other digital cable I have ever heard. Someone was selling o... | |
| Pass Labs X600.5 or a Pair of Classe Omicron's? Sorry Doc, I thought you mean't by up-grading the 600's to 600.5 was an actual modification that could be done by Pass Labs, not the trade-in deal offered by Audio-Logic in Iowa. To answer your question, no I did not find the 600's "dry", but not ... | |
| Pass Labs X600.5 or a Pair of Classe Omicron's? Doc, there is no upgrade possible for the Pass LabsX-600's to the new generation .5 series. I believe that the 600's were the best sounding of all the X-generation amps, but the new X-.5 series is a significant change/improvement compared with the... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, you posting your systems have stimulated my curiosity in a few directions concerning the different sonic signatures of your two wonderful systems. So, here are my questions: 1) What are the similarities/differences in the overall sonic's... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, based on reading a past post you put on another thread regarding the Acoustic Zen Absolute IC's and speaker wire I was aware that you had replaced your Cardas wires with Mr. Robert Lee's new reference. Would you be willing to share what ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris, I will be very interested in what your opinion will be regarding the Accustic Arts D1 transport/Accustic Art DAC1mk3 sonics in general and how it compares to your Meitner gear. Would you also be willing to share what the rest of your sys... | |
| new updates in transports or are they obsolete ? There was never a large amount of companies manufacturing reference level transports to begin with, however you still have major players in digital gear producing terrific transports, such as: 1)CEC 2)Ensemble 3)Accustic Arts 4)Zanden 5)Meitner 6)... | |
| Preamp with most dynamic contrast? Bruno, I would highly recommend you audition a Placette dual mono active linestage. It is one of the great bargains in high end audio for two reasons: 1) It offers beautiful sonics, that sound like what you are looking for, and competes with refer... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, my compliments to you in two ways: 1) That you are affluent enough to own two world class systems. 2) That you are a "golden eared" audiophile with very good taste. If the system you described is the second system in your home, would you... | |
| Pass Labs X-1000 vs X-600 Mitch4t, in my opinion and other Pass fans familiar with the sonics of X generation Pass amps, the 250 was the best sounding of the single chassis models and the 600 was the the best sounding of the mono-blocks, and were the best sounding of all t... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, thanks for sharing your final opinion on the Accustic Arts CDP, and I'm glad that your friend is very happy with his new digital player. I do not remember if you have had the chance to listen to The Accustic Arts DACIMK3, but as you stat... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I have read/heard many postive things regarding the Audiomat reference DAC and the Dodson DA-218 DAC, but have never heard them myself. So, my question is, do any of you Gon members own either of these DACS or have had the opportunity to listen to... |
