| Theta DS Pro Gen VI - update I have never asked about price. I have just assumed all along that they wouldn't talk price until final product is out. I am hoping that they will have several upgrade options such as: DVD-A, Regular CD, etcAs far as 2-channel, I believe they will... | |
| Theta DS Pro Gen VI - update Today, I received an e-mail response from Ed Deitemeier at Theta Digital. I e-mailed him after reading this thread on Saturday. Here is his reply to my question:"Our intention is to introduce the Gen VI in January at CES. The "Gen VIII" designatio... | |
| Theta DS Pro Gen VI - update About four months ago or so, I e-mailed Theta inquiring about the Gen 6 and was told it would be available in January unless there was a major problem/interuption. I will e-mail again and see what the scoop is here. I would be surprised that Theta... | |
| Which is warmer sounding Counerpoint SA12 or SA100 I had a SA-12 upgraded to a SA-100 and the sound was less warm IMO. Because Counterpoint has such a forward sound in the mids, you really need top equipment and cables or it will sound etched in the mids. I have not heard Classe often, but I belie... | |
| Spectral DMA 150 compares to Rowland Model 6 and 8 You didn't say if you are using a Spectral preamp. The use of an all Spectral is critical in getting the total Spectral/MIT/Avalon package: detail, holographic imaging, the recording reproduced as it was recorded yet with warmth if the setup is co... | |
| Which DAC? Levinson, Theta, Sonic Frontiers The Theta GEN VI supposed to be here in January. I would not make any decisions until then. The Va is at least a 5 year old design. Tim | |
| why is belt drive better than direct drive? I think there are two questions here: are you more concerned with convenience and lack of maintenance, or the best sound possible?Direct drive systems certainly tend to: get up to speed more quickly, have more automated features and don't need new... | |
| CD Transport for the next 10 years..... I second the Spectral....unbelievable how good it is.Tim | |
| To all Revox B-760 tuner users: original price was $1600 USD. This was around 1980.I think $1100 is too high. I agree with Phild, b-760's come up on ebay occasionally.Tim | |
| Spectral and xlr cables Jdwek,the MIT 350 interconnects(reference or evo) are both available with xlr connectors for more money. Go to www.mitcables.com to check them out. By the way, you can use the regular versions and still get great results. Tim | |
| absolute best component you ever owned my Spectral SDR3000 transport......so much detail from conventional cds with tremendous musicality......wow! | |
| What do you guys think of Spectral? I have finally gotten my spectral setup sounding warm yet detailed but only after extensive ac work. By that I mean I have installed dedicated outlets and a quieting transformer as well as the MIT line conditioning gear. I have MIT cables and Aval... | |
| Theta GenVa Upgrade elgordo, pls1, have you tried single mode laser linque? I've never used the genesis but after getting the theta single mode installed on the jade/gen va, imho,I don't see how you could do better. Tim | |
| Theta GenVa Upgrade I have e-mailed Theta several times over 2000 inquiring when the VI would be out. The last I heard was this conming March but someone from Theta(Neil Sinclair?) was quoted in Stereophile over two years ago saying they would be out with the VI in f... | |
| The best upgrade I ever made! Dekay, In the instructions that came with the transformer, they mentioned "if you have a model with a plug" so I assume there must be models that could be plugged into the wall. The only problem I forsee is that you would have a major magnetic fie... |
