| best speaker? I can't say about the rest of your choices however, the maggies won't work well with your amp, not enough power. | |
| best Speakers Cables for Magnepan 3.6R ? I have had great luck with Jena Labs cables with my 3.6's. If your system is absolutely SOTA and your speakers have been hot-rodded, you may want to also consider the Nordost Valhalla. | |
| Food for thought/Opinions please That was an interesting read, thanks for posting it. I personally don't think the issue is really that black and white- there is a lot of grey area. Keep in mind I am a classical music fan(about 30-40% of my collection is classical) which may leav... | |
| EMM Labs CDSD / DCC2 - Initial Listening Session Tbg- As long as we are all happy :) What ever your CD's are playing through I suppose it doesn't matter at all as long as you can enjoy the music. Wellfed- I think possibly for the first time we agree, there is more than one way to skin a cat- and... | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner Alfatone69- That is really weird your experience using an AES cable instead of the fiber optic cables, not only are you not able to listen to SACD but your not able to upsample to DSD. You may want to have your unit(s) checked to see if they are w... | |
| EMM Labs CDSD / DCC2 - Initial Listening Session Norm it seems weird that you are the only one who feels that way about the examplar/denon combo. I have heard it and was dissapointed. It seems listener preference is a big factor, I would sure have enjoyed preffering a much more cost effective so... | |
| Is the Accuphase DP90 transport a good buy? I wouldn't invest much money on old accuphase gear. It tends to draw a premium on the used market and its distribution is in flux right now in North America- which means its value is in jeopordy. Paired with fair at best sound- by today's standard... | |
| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? I would not recommend using that combo. You'll think you have good sound but you really won't have a clue how much information(music) your really missing. In that price range- maybe a little high on your budget but worth looking into- check out th... | |
| Review: Emm Labs DCC2 DA converter Rob- I agree completely, if anyone bought this piece solely on my recommendation I would be flattered though dissapointed. I have been saying this for years, but please listen for yourself, make your decision based on your experience/prefference. ... | |
| Can transport in Philips SACD 1000 be replaced? I have also sent him an email, I am curious what he can do. I heard from over at AA that he will not touch Emm labs modified units, lets see if there is any truth to that. | |
| Review: Emm Labs DCC2 DA converter Robm321- I have read plenty of your posts to know that there is NO way I am going to change your mind. So I am going to waste no effort trying, that being said... If I didn't feel this unit was in fact as good as I am saying I would simply sell it... | |
| What wire config for tri-wired speakers? You are right Bill, in theory. In a perfect world having everything the same would be ideal, however, we all know nothing is ideal. I highly doubt that any one would be able to hear a difference of a parallel run of 10ga car audio power cable and ... | |
| What wire config for tri-wired speakers? Hey Bill this is pure speculation but with your particular speakers the bass cabinets are two of the tri-wire run you are considering. Knowing what I do about bass and your speakers, all the speaker cables are doing is transfering a linelevel sign... | |
| Review: Emm Labs DCC2 DA converter Joey- Instead of trying to troll, take a listen yourself. I am so happy with the sound I am hearing I have no desire to argue with you. ....in other words, it really is THAT good. | |
| Review: Audiomod Modified: EMM Labs Phillips SACD 1000 Transport Unfortunately there is a lot of truth to the high failure rate of the phillips units, I have a meitnerized unit and its dead. The worst part is there is no fix available- what a waste- and I had to shell out the cash for the pricey CDSD while keep... |
