| Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms Thomas, Thanks for breaking the ice on the looks issue. Perhaps how absolutely beautiful this thing looks has an effect as well! Visually stunning piece of work. I'm going to go back and just look at it now! Z. | |
| Comparison Cary 306, Wadia 581, EMM Labs CDSA Bud, Ed designs and builds some gear that is State Of The Art. He has defined SOTA. I mention this in one or more of my responses. This unit has not been one of them. I am not alone here, witness other responses. What the heck is an indirect compe... | |
| Comparison Cary 306, Wadia 581, EMM Labs CDSA And this "latest" version was needed because... I guess what you are saying, is that you totally agree with me and my advice to run not walk from original CDSAs. As well as all the other "improved" versions, until they get it right. Right? In the ... | |
| Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms Pryso, The original question was why the 12s are back. I thought I answered fairly well in my first response. Perhaps only five years ago a 12 inch arm would NOT have shown this dramatic an improvement. Again, (slowly) I think that many former dis... | |
| Comparison Cary 306, Wadia 581, EMM Labs CDSA The latest version? How many is that now? When will they release the "right" version? I might suggest you take the dCS piece home and do a proper ABA, it DESTROYS every "version" of the CDSA I have heard. This thing runs with the very best hand ma... | |
| Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms Raul, Please read my response again. Slowly. I changed one component. The only proper way to evaluate a new addition. I could hear the geometry change with my other arm. If you have your Lustre set up properly, you will hear it too. This 312 is li... | |
| Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms Hey guys, I think the 12 is coming back because the advantages remain but BECAUSE the disadvantages, some of them, have been overcome. I just got an SME 312 and an LP sounds the same all the way across. It is lighter and stiffer than what I was us... | |
| Is it Safe/ok to Plug Amplifier into Processor Safe yes. OK no. | |
| Comparison Cary 306, Wadia 581, EMM Labs CDSA Rhyno, If you think you are tight with Shahin, ask him, point blank. I did, over dinner at CES. It is no secret. Both the reliability issue as well as the dealer issue. EMM ads on this home page speak volumes. One phone call does the rest. That is... | |
| Comparison Cary 306, Wadia 581, EMM Labs CDSA Megan, Might wanna recheck your stats. Consumer response has been so bad for the CDSA that EMM will make ANYBODY a dealer, even you. Just to turn a unit. Let's forget about the recall of the ENTIRE first batch. Mr EMM is a SOTA guy, not too good a... | |
| Denon's new Blu-Ray player Rwwear, You late adopter you. I bet you have one of those things that decodes the big flat black discs too. | |
| Comparison Cary 306, Wadia 581, EMM Labs CDSA Peter, I hope you are just starting to look around. You won't see a 306 Pro used for some time. Ditto a 581 SE. There is no shortage of EMM stuff and for very good reason... I talked to Mr Had at CES, my advice is a late model 306. Again, be caref... | |
| 20amp IEC connector with a 15amp plug PC? ?? Rex, I got a toughie for ya here. 8amps at 240v equals what at 120? Didn't this start with a question as to why mfgrs are putting 20A IECs on equipment? Ever see an amp with TWO 15A IECs? And instructions to utilize TWO different circuits? Z. | |
| 20amp IEC connector with a 15amp plug PC? ?? Microseconds concern me. Dynamics concern me. 800x5 @2ohm equals what for draw? I wish I had three phase! Any mathematicians or EEs ever wonder why some Levinsons, Halcros, should I go on(?), are ONLY available 240v 60hz? Sixth grade math anyone? Z. | |
| 20amp IEC connector with a 15amp plug PC? ?? Audio, Amps, for one, like current and enjoy AC with low impedance. There are at least two classes of connectors NEMA specs as 120 or 240v. I use BOTH on one of my Krell amps. I had it built for 240v, so it has a 20A IEC input and a 20a 120/240v m... |
