| Lamm M2.2 instead Krell EVO 302 My good friend own setup similar to yours: B&W 802D, Krell EVO402, ARC REF3 and Ayre C-5xe. All Audioquest cables. He replaced ML335 with Krell EVO402 and results were much better. I agree fully with David crossover on 802D seems to really suc... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Jeff,Fully agree with you regarding Magico review(and JA measurements).I had a chance to audition them in Milan 2007 Hifi Show and I start wondering what that fuzz is all about... They did not impressed me at all. | |
| Rowland PC1 PFC on Capri pre early findings 04-13-08: Mr_billMr Guido,Great findings and keep sharing!Does anyone know if the new Continuum 500 will have analog power supplies for the amps like the 300 series or the switching supplies like the 501's?Thanks,BillAs far as I know new 312 and n... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Jeff,Just one question-why you toe-in Salon2 so much? Salon2 is equiped as you already know with 24db/octave crossover and according to experienced Revel dealer in Germany needs only moderate toe-in(max. 15 degrees), otherwise Salon2 will sound li... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 BTW, regarding my post about W/P8 highs if it was not clear I didn't mean to imply that Peter McGrath had stated that the W/P8 has prominent lower treble. He actually stated that many other speakers are deficient in that area while the W/P8 is not. | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 For all people who are interested in either Salon2 or W/P8 my advice is to visit your local dealer and try to audition both speakers personally. Then make your own judgement and buy one of these great speakers. Both are excellent but, there is dif... | |
| Revel Salon 2 versus WP 8 Since I had a chance to audition both Salon2 and W/P8 I can say that both speakers are good. Honestly, I like Salon2 little bit more. For all seeking speaker in this class check out new KEF Reference 207/2 as well. It is really as good as John Atk... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I asume that you audition Naim 555 with single ended connection and Accuphase DP-78 via balanced connection(BTW, ARC use PIN2+ and Accuphase PIN3+). Just to tell you DP-78 is not even in top ten digital playback systems that I audition, same thing... | |
| Anybody else heard the Avalon Acoustics Isis? Samuel33,There is a dealer that have both Avalon and Rockport. Goodwins in Boston. Another dealer for Rokport is Ultimateaudiovideo in Chicago(they have both Arrakis and Altair).I audition Altair with Boulder 2060/2010 and Wavestream V8(this amp w... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I audition it and honestly do not know what all fuss is all about. Some reviewers may like it but, appart from clean and powerfull sound it is nothing special. It sound just too 2 dimensional for my taste. In fact I do not like Naim sound at all. ... | |
| ARC Ref 3, Rowland Concerto, or Capri line stage? Guido,JR Concerto Pre and Int are discontinued AFAIK. So, if Jeff Rowland then you can choose between Capri S(Diamond polished finish version) or new Criterion. Or you can go for new Continuum Int(two versions-one 350w/ch, other 500w/ch).Or simply... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Kops,Yes, I used Varidig Sextet. I tried something else(cables) and got similar results.Esoteric D-05/P-05/G-03X combo is marginally better to my ears then single X-01 D2. But, there is a difference in price as well.Dev,My P-03U is normally noisy.... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Ben,First about violin, Itzhak Perlman Stradivari sounded much more clear and alive via Esoteri D-03/P-03U/G-0Rb combo then via AA combo. There were also more details apparent like Mr.Perlman hand moves and his breathing while performing. Since I ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Teajay,I am not in tube-rolling... AA Tube-DAC II was designed with Chinese tubes. I compare AA combo against ARC REF CD7 pretty extensivly and IMHO AA combo is better. BUT, in most areas it is marginally better(Ok, you can hear the difference. Ju... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Henry,Esoteric D-05 is excellent DAC but, you will get most of its capabilities only with matching P-05 CD/SACD transport.My advice is to look at Accustic Arts DAC I Mk4($7K) since TUBE-DAC II($10.5K) could be marginally outside you target price r... |
