| Nottingham vs. Wilson Benesch turntables? Many thanks again! The Mat-2 sounds like the perfect addition to a NA Space 294 TT.NA owners seem to be a very collegial group indeed - it must be the soul soothing effect of good music played well at 33 1/3 rpm :-) | |
| Nottingham vs. Wilson Benesch turntables? Thanks for all the useful info! It looks like the current NA Ace Spacedeck is the sweet spot in the NA line, and definitely on my short-list.Any opinions regarding Ace Spacedeck vs. Space 294 (and the tracking advantages of a 12" vs a 9" arm), or ... | |
| Nottingham vs. Wilson Benesch turntables? Many thanks for the helpful and informative replies. It is noteworthy that the first 3 are from happy Nottingham owners!Aside from Nottingham and WB, would you consider Avid or Thorens (td-350) in the same league as the NA or WB? | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? Congratulations! Let us know what you think of the D-06.Though the 550AII is only 20wpc, and not quite enough for your speakers, I did hear this amp do a surprisingly good job driving the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations.You will however be amazed w... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? Thanks, and yes - see my post above dated 07-18-10.John at MKOM is a joy to deal with - highly recommended. | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? Thanks Stratguy,I never had the opportunity to audition the Rienzis, but I did hear the Finns and the Parsifal Ovations. The Finns had me wanting to hear more, but the Parsifals took my breath away - and so I bought them. I am writing this while l... | |
| CD players - Luxman vs. Esoteric? I think that it would be fair to say that both Esoteric and Luxman make excellent cd players, and they are comparable at their respective price points - sort of like BMW vs. Mercedes. Preference probably boils down to a matter of taste. | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? Thanks for the suggestion - I bought the Dave Grusin cd yesterday and it is wonderful music making that also sounds wonderful (and its 1993 Redbook).Speaking of older Redbook, the cd that I keep going back to was recorded in 1988 (!!!), called 'A ... | |
| Bryston B-100 or Luxman L-507u? I live in Canada, and last year made a serious investment in a new audio system after much research and auditioning.I really wanted to try to put together an entirely Canadian made system, but that would have entailed certain compromises.I did buy... | |
| CD players - Luxman vs. Esoteric? The Luxman D-06 is an outstanding cdp, and I prefer its sound to the more "clinical" sound of Esoteric.The new Luxman cd players are superbly engineered, exquisitely built, and they sound wonderful. They are a step up! | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? The Luxman 509u is possibly one of the best integrated amps on the planet, and the D-06 is a very fine CD player that mates well with it. Their build quality is as superb as their sound.Well recorded regular Redbook CDs sound especially wonderful ... | |
| Verity Audio Rienzi's - any thoughts? I have compared Verity Audio speakers to some other more and less expensive speakers (B&W 803d, B&W 802d, Sonus Faber Cremona M, Spendor, PMC). Even the entry level Finn is, in my humble opinion, more musically engaging than any of the abo... | |
| Best Integrated, period. I am note sure I can comment on what is best, but I am very happy with my Luxman 509u integrated amp driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations. Musical heaven! | |
| Are Headphone amps worth the expense? There is a headphone jack on my Luxman 509u integrated amp, and my Beyerdynamic T1's sound wonderful when plugged-in. How does it compare to a dedicated headphone amp? I am not sure how much better a high quality dedicated amp would be, but as I a... | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? After auditioning the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations, I was smitten. I bought them.I drive them with a Luxman L-509u class A/B integrated amp and a Luxman D-06 cdp. I am very pleased with this combination, and am enjoying the music.My only recent ... |
