| Velodyne DD-10, James EMB-100 or Supercube ref. I have a DD-12, and before I bought it, I listened to a number of other high end subs. In the end, it came down to either Thiel's SW1 or the DD-12 (which cost a ton less than the Thiel). Ultimately, it was the incredible level of control offered b... | |
| Best transport for redbook and HDCD? Arcam FMJ CD23T, perhaps? | |
| What mini-monitors should I audition? Just a plug for the ProAc Tablette Reference 8's mentioned above. After hearing a pair at a local dealer, I was floored by the natural, musical presentation, imagining, and yes - bass response - of these little marvels. They are very small, and be... | |
| Any recording musicians here? Joeb,I tried to send you an e-mail, but it bounced the first time. Let me know if you did not get it. | |
| Redbook+SACD Player to Replace Denon 5900? Tvad: Excellent points. However, even though I recognize that I am taking somewhat of a chance (Dan's mods could blow), I do feel like I have made an informed decision, taking into account all that I have read and learned from others (including Da... | |
| Redbook+SACD Player to Replace Denon 5900? I agree with Thedautch. Unless you spend a bunch more money (which it doesn't sound like you want to), you won't do better with a seperate DVD player and Redbook/SACD player than you'd get out of a modded 5900. Mine is in Dan Wright's capable hand... | |
| Help me decide: Best 5 channel AMP for me Theta Digital Intrepid (used). | |
| Any recording musicians here? Yup. My main band has been together for over 15 years, and we have been recording for most of that time. Initially, we went to local studios. Later, the band bought a couple of ADAT-XT's and other gear, and we cranked out a couple of CDs on our ow... | |
| Denon DVD-2900 or Pioneer DV-868AVi-S ?? According to Dan Wright, in its stock form the 2900 is not very compelling, and indeed the NS999ES is a better player. However, after nearly identical mods, Dan claims that the Denon 2900 it clearly superior to the NS999ES. From all that I have re... | |
| Amplifier reviews from Hardesty's Sdcampbell, do you know if they also reviewed the Theta Enterprise monoblocks? I know that it came out after the Citadel, and is slotted between the Citadels and the Dreadnaught II. I own a pair, and many of the characteristics which Hardesty appl... | |
| Underwood Mod to Denon 5900 No, I don't have it yet. Dan currently has four 5900's in his shop (one of them being mine), and he is working out some additional customization mods for the 5900. They sound very promising, though, and I will be sure to report back once it comes ... | |
| Solid State 200 watt amp-Classe/Marsh/McCormack A two-channel Theta Digital Dreadnaught II is also worth considering. | |
| Speakers to consider in the $2200 range Some very good suggestions. For even less, though, you might want to consider Thiel CS3.6's. | |
| Denon 2900 w/ external dac I second the notion that your best bang for the buck would be to skip the external DAC and have the 2900 modded. Dan Wright (ModWright) can really work some magic with the 2900, and one of his options includes a tubed analog output stage for 2CH. ... | |
| Which amplifier would you buy? Pass Labs make some great amps, but if you are looking for a quality multi-channel amp, you really should also consider the Theta Digital Dreadnaught II.Tom. |
