| Esoteric DV50S, Any Plans to Discontinue? Well the UZ universal is coming out now and is a two channel with single-ended inputs, and priced much higher than the DV-50S currently is. It's also built better from the looks of things. Don't know what this means for the DV50, but I'm guessing ... | |
| Marantz DV-12S2 Thanks Mike. The one who gave me the run around though is Marantz itself, not a dealer. this is the local operation of Marantz and the guy in charge of the repairs is the one who sent the player back to Japan (supposedly). My wager is that Marantz... | |
| JM Labs 927 Be vs Sonus Faber GPH also the 937BE Nice choice. I like these speakers a lot and nearly bought them myself. Hope you enjoy them very much. | |
| Marantz Player Question I should have added that the SA11S1 also uses the Super Ring transformer (so does the SA 17) but it uses a different DAC architecture. My general position here is that if Marantz can't make the repair, they should replace the machine with one of c... | |
| Marantz Player Question Here's an update. I can't believe this is dragging into the new year, but c'est la vie. Marantz initially tried to repair the machine, but was having trouble in doing so. Now they want to trade the player for the DV-12S2 and have me pay additional... | |
| JM Labs 927 Be vs Sonus Faber GPH also the 937BE I much prefer the 937s over the 927s. the 927s did not sound right to me. Some thing with the synergy of the drivers. The 937s were great though. I preferred them to the Diva Utopias, though I finally bought the Altos. I don't like the Sonus Faber... | |

| Burned out hi fi salesman I think Cinematic Systems makes a number of good points, and I also think it's important to read the "writing on the wall," as he suggests. If he is saying that trying to please an audiophile community and having little yield is causing problems f... | |
| SACD is it worth it? Marakanetz, you should definitely check out Can on SACD. Worth the trouble IMO. I'm also keen on the Pink Floyd DSOTM SACD as well. I don't listen to rock much anymore, but these are well worth it. | |
| Mini Monitors - Dynaudio and JM Labs I've heard the C1s in a number of different contexts, with a variety of amplifiers, and no, I've never been very impressed with them. But I wanted to be. I really liked one of the dealers. "Because otherwise, your evaluation would be meaningless."... | |
| SACD is it worth it? My redbook library is significantly bigger than my SACD library, but I'm still glad I have a SACD player. I love the format. I'm disappointed that more experimental music is unavailable on SACD but that would change if more people supported it. As... | |
| Mini Monitors - Dynaudio and JM Labs Goatwuss, he cited the study, not me. I cited his citing of the study. And in doing so, I don't necessarily endorse his conclusions, so whether or not he seems to "contradict" what I say, he has admitted this study in his paper."I would argue thou... | |
| Help me with this choice Paradigm, JM Lab, Sonus Well, I'm not a fan of Paradigm speakers at all, but as always, YMMV. I think you should consider picking up a pair of Electra 907 Bes used for probably less than $2500. I much prefer the JM Labs over both the speakers you mentioned. I think Sonus... | |
| Gryphon Callisto 2100 I compared this amp with a Manley Stingray head to head last year. I much prefered the Manley. The Callisto was too dry and lifeless to my tastes. |
