| The XA9000ES's are hitting the Classifieds Rapidly Rex,I see where you are coming from and I have seen the threads you mentioned. I guess I was more surprised at the attractive the price the players were selling for and just associated it with the format. For $1350.00 I may just buy one for a tran... | |
| The XA9000ES's are hitting the Classifieds Rapidly Rex,Nice, did I strike a nerve? It was certainly not my intention. My point is, that I had noticed several players (XA9000ES) hit the new today classifieds in a row. What surprised me was each one that hit, had a lower price. Having just sold my X... | |
| The XA9000ES's are hitting the Classifieds Rapidly Hey Pat, things are well. I purchased an Electrocompaniet ECD-1 DAC and love it. I am running my Apple Airport Express into it and a Rotel Transport (which is temporary) as I search for something better. I saw that Cary, do you think it would make... | |
| The XA9000ES's are hitting the Classifieds Rapidly I wanted to believe as I saw merit in the performance of SACD but face it, I am just not seeing it going anywhere. The majority of the titles I want to listen to (Past and Present)are not available on SACD and are not being released or even being ... | |
| XLO Cables The XLO cables are excellent. A good friend of mine were having a few drinks and just talking about all the equipment we have owned over the years and the different systems we have owned. My favorite systems with the most PRAT were using all XLO c... | |
| Which DAC for computer based system? I am using an Electrocompaniet ECD-1 with my computer audio and with a separate transport for more reference listening with great results. My good friend is also using a Bel Canto DAC-1 with great results too. I would warn you about the Benchmark.... | |
| B&W Nautilus 800.....where's the bass? I just read through this thread.. Comical! Chris | |
| What do you replace a Benchmark with for 24/96? I just purchased an Electrocompaniet ECD-1 and am stunned with the results in my setup. I found the Benchmark to be Analytical and thin sounding. I picked up my ECD-1 here on Audiogon for $1095.00. When used with an Audience PowerChord, this DAC i... | |
| Unison Unico experience? It is a great sounding integrated for the price. It does tend to sugar-coat the sound a bit which can be a good or bad thing depending on your taste and system set up. For the money it is really hard to beat. Chris | |
| Modern Day Good Transport I should mention too that I am doing something pretty cool with the DAC. I am running an Apple Airport Express into it via Toslink and am getting excellent results. At this point, I am leaning towards a Theta Transport or even a Meridian 500 MkII... | |
| Modern Day Good Transport Thanks for all the great advice..Chris | |
| New David Gilmour record:any feedback? Listening now and so far so good! Will post further impressions shortly..KiD | |
| John Mayer Trio??????? I had the privelage of seeing John several times live before his Room for Squares release and mass popularity. He is a fantastic guitar player and really has good pace. He was playing a few of his songs acoustically and a lot of covers from Dave M... | |
| Revisiting the Kimber KCAG Sure thing. I think what I remember mostly was the overall pace of the music. The soundstage was also much larger with the Au24. At the same time it also gained more focus and clarity without sounding analytical or clinical. Surprising enough both... | |
| Revisiting the Kimber KCAG I used the KCAG for a long period of time and think it is a fantastic cable. So much of a fantastic cable, I used KCAG to re-wire some of my Amps Internal Wiring. (SLI-80) Then a friend of mine, brought over his Audience Au24 interconnects. I must... |
