| Does anybody own or have heard the DCS Delius ? I can't tell you about the current generation but up to about a year ago the Delius was a very mechanical and hard sounding DAC. People use the Purcell as a band-aid with the Delius to round off its horrible and very digital sound. This wasn't a D... | |
| Magnepan 3.6r or Apogee Divas? Thanks, this is very interesting. There's always been good sounding SETs and tube amps at this price point but never a high current musical ss amplifier for 2k. Actually there are hardly any musical high current ss amps at any price. rgds, Mama | |
| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? Doug,I guess I need to clarify my 60hz-70hz comment, I know the B&W published specs, but that's not the same as true bass. Of all the speakers that I know I can only think of a couple which can do even 40hz of real bass. As Raul so nicely expl... | |
| Magnepan 3.6r or Apogee Divas? This sounds very interesting, do you have a contact no. for Henry Ho?rgds, Mama | |
| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? Hi Doug,>>Mine plays cleanly down to at least 16Hz, the lowest I can hear, and I suspect larger models would do even better.<<I find this statement bewildering, I wonder how you could hear and then measure this low from vinyl, and clea... | |
| Magnepan 3.6r or Apogee Divas? Who's Henry Ho? | |
| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? Dear George,I try to refrain from recommending any specific brands to people, its never that simple. What good is anyone's recommendation without a reference point when you have none?The brands that you mention is a starting point to educate yours... | |
| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? Dear Raul,I appreciate your comments and I am trying to help George. I wanted to alert him to another possible problem area before dishing out for a new cartridge or spending many futile hours with setup, after all you can't get blood from stone. ... | |
| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? Dan_ed>>Careful, don't commit to a real position on anything too specific.<<2nd time that you're accusing me and not reading my comments properly, its here again if you can read. What can be more specific than this?>>The 2000 ser... | |
| Magnepan 3.6r or Apogee Divas? Who makes the H2O? | |
| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? Dan_ed>>You sound like one of the reviewers from the magazines. Lots of generalizations and no real specifics<<What genralization? Please read my post again its very specific!>>C'mon, give us some comparisons between Basis tables... | |
| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? Sorry George,I wrote my previous post prior to your last reply, I don't want to attack what you own, just want to give you a different point of view and something to look out for. Unfortunately these days in the absence of many traditional well es... | |
| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? I know that they're getting great reviews in the magazines but who isn't these days? The 2000 series is highly colored, has a dark over all character with rolled off highs, very limited bass, if any at all, and anemic mids.... you can add upper ba... | |
| Seeking $15,000.00 speaker to replace Quad 988's >>the clarity of the Quads with the dynamic contrasts, and the illusion of 90-100 people on a stage and not 10<<Real scale is the hardest illusion to recreate and it could only be achieved properly with large efficient speakers in a la... | |
| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? Hi George,At the risk of sounding negative (and getting flamed), you'll be throwing away good money after bad if you follow some of the advice here. I know people are trying to help but as the saying goes; the road to hell is paved with good inten... |
