| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Trinity DACAny thoughts?I have recently had a chance to compare the Trinity DAC to the Vivaldi stack in friend's system. To our surprise we both prefered the Trinity DAC, which had a better PRaT, overall sounded more transparent and - for lack of ... | |
| Reimyo cdp 777 vs Reimyo CDT 777 IMO the difference can be atributed to both better transport mechanism in the CDP-777 and the lack S/PDiF interface in the integrated player - eveything is in one box, so you do not have to encode the data and clock signals into S/PDiF (coaxial di... | |
| Reimyo cdp 777 vs Reimyo CDT 777 ... in which case, the integrated CDP-777 sounds better than CDT/DAC combo.A friend of mine, a big Reimyo fan, has sold his CDP-777 when 777/999 combo came out, but felt disappointed and quickly sold the CDT/DAC combination. Shortly after he bough... | |
| Reimyo cdp 777 vs Reimyo CDT 777 Impossible to compare, since one is a CD Player, and the other one a CD transport only (no analogue outs).And yes, the JVC transport mechanism is much more robustly build than the Philips CD-Pro2. | |
| Reimyo CDP-777 vs Ayon CD-5 I agree, it's transport is one of the best ever made, though I don't agree the Pro-2 LH version transport (as used by Ayon) is cheap rubbish.Well, it is not exactly cheap rubbish, but if you ever have a chance to examine it more closely, you will ... | |
| Reimyo CDP-777 vs Ayon CD-5 JVC Pro used in Reimyo is on of the most reliable transports ever made. Not the cheap plastic stuff that Philips and Sony sells nowadays (even the Philips CD-Pro2 drive is all plastic & cheap motor under the shiny aluminum skin). I have once t... | |
| Meridian 508.24...sound compared to newer players 508.24 has always been one of my favourites CDPs. I havn't heard one in a while, and when recently I put one in my system, against ARC CD-7 (~$4000 used) I was hugely dissapointed by its performance. I always remembered it as a 'giant-killer', but... | |
| emm labs dac2se vs puccini ABX is a tricky test. It can easily trick your mind. The only way to test it a long term listening. Listen for a few days, and the change to the other one. The differences will be plainly audible. | |
| Your say - AudioQuest DBS system Mikesinger - that is now suprise, since the Volcano is higher in the AQ range (it is actually AQ most expensive copper SC).Try any of the AQ silver cables, and you will never look back. | |
| Budget Amp for Avalon Eidolon I have just given back to the dealer a pair of BAT 150se amps I have had on loan for a week. And although the BATs are competent amps, and do not think they are any special.You can get an used pair for $8000 here on AgoN. | |
| Gryphon Callisto 2100 I would not agree with Wenrhuang that Callisto 2100 is warm sounding amp at all. That amp (like most Gryphons I have heard) flavor revolve around pristine clarity, fine sharp details, speed, very extended top/bottom frequencies,and great PRAT. But... | |
| ATC SCM35 - what amp for these speakers? You may try one of the digital amps - they will drive the power hungry ATCs with ease. Their smoothness will complemet them nicely, too.JRDG 201 is nice, but too expensive compared to other ICE based amps out there (H2O for example), IMO. Bel Cant... | |
| Any info on new Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario? I have heard them 2 weeks ago on The HiFi Show in London. They indeed do sound very similar to the more expensive Stradivaris and unlike almost all previous models (they are faster and much more transparent). | |
| Soundproof Windows When ordering soundproof windows look for Rw value. Standard Rw value is 28dB, but you can also order 32, 36, 40 and even 44dB ones. I got 44dB ones, and even though I live in a city centre, the noise was reduced dramaticly - form 38dB (very noisy... | |
