| Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players Congratulations on the Cipher and smokin' deal, dave_b. I look forward to getting updates as you break it in. | |
| Integrated decision - dartzeel or gryphon I’ve heard great integrated amps from Simaudio, MBL, Jeff Rowland, Vitus and Audia Flight. This is by no means a complete list of great integrateds, but they are worth a listen if you are looking to buy a Dartzeel. I’d love to hear a Gryphon, but ... | |
| Integrated decision - dartzeel or gryphon I have not had a chance to hear the Gryphon, but I did audition the Dartzeel. My impression is that it's a good integrated, but you pay a huge premium for the name and craftsmanship in areas which do not necessarily translate into better sound. ... | |
| First Hand Experience? wcc10, I don't have any experience with Rotel, but I do have it with Parasound. I don't think you will find any issues with 2-channel performance with either the A23 or A21. There are plenty of reviews on the net and testimonials here and on oth... | |
| Sierra Denali Are they made by GMC? :) | |
| Straightwire speaker cable Crescendo vs Crescendo II The biggest difference is in the inner core design. My understanding is that the II was an improvement over the original in both dynamics and detail. The II also supposedly more flexible than the original (it is one seriously thick and stiff cab... | |
| Best Flexible Digital player around $1000 By "flexible" do you mean capable of playing multiple formats or have other capabilities? If you are looking for a universal player, the Oppo 105 is certainly hard to beat, particularly with streaming and a great DAC. If you are only playing red... | |
| Straightwire speaker cable Crescendo vs Crescendo II I use Crescendo III in my system and like them very much. What is the context of your question? Are you considering changing from Crescendo to Crescendo II or trying to decide if the price difference between the two is worth it? | |
| OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality??? Stereo5, the HINT and Oppo 105 have the same DAC, so you don't really gain anything by running the 105 through it. If that is the plan, you are fine with the 103.To the OP, the 105 is a great universal player. Mine has been modified by ModWright... | |
| Neat Momentum SX5i or Rega RX5 I'm a huge fan of Neat speakers and definitely worth at least an audition. If price difference is an issue, you can look at the Motive SX1 which sound fantastic, as well. | |
| I need advice on which speaker With the HINT (I have one), in that price range, I really liked it paired with the PMC Twenty.24 | |
| Just moved to an apartment need speaker suggestions Neat Motive SX2 is an excellent speaker. It has a small footprint and have a much fuller sound than their stature would suggest. Their reflex port fires down through the plinth so they can be placed anywhere which makes them ideal for apartment ... | |
| Upgrading power cables Ha! It will be another whole thread to cover a power conditioner. At least your significant other is a real keeper :) | |
| Which CD\SACD? Parasound discontinued their Halo CD 1. Not much in terms of future-proofed technology, but an excellent spinner that you might be able to pick up at a great price. | |
| Which CD\SACD? geoffkait, that was an Oppo 103 just like it was a Toyota Camry that won the Daytona 500 yesterday....You referred to it in the past tense, so why did you give it up after so much work? |
