| Purepower APS a reliable product? The positive comments from owners of the 1050 and 2000 are units built years ago in China and not the newer models they build in Canada. The Chinese quality was better and several reviews of the older units bare this out. It is the units built in ... | |
| Purepower APS a reliable product? One addendum to my ealier comments; I stated the Dimitri was the best sounding Power Conditioner I have heard. I was humbled last night at the AZ Audio club meeting comparing PC's next to each other. Four conditioners competed and 35 members liste... | |
| Purepower APS a reliable product? This company is unethical and Richard the biggest con artist I have ever met in my life. They will tell the sob story of fighting a battle to rescue their company back from the Chinese manufacturers that built their unit in China and how they are ... | |
| VAC amps and Focal Grand Utopias at $195k a pair Wow! I need to come to the rescue of Kevin Hayes and VAC and assure everyone that it surely wasn't Kevin's Statement tubed electronics. The Statement line is the finest tube equipment I have ever heard, it is effortless in its presentation and has... | |
| Berkeley vs. Simaudio Sabai, yes, there are two pieces of equipment I bought based on reviews from professional reviewers and from members here at Audiogon and I frankly was very surprised when I experienced it. This is no slam on Pass Lab; Nelson Pass has proved himse... | |
| Berkeley vs. Simaudio No, only the S/PDIF. Very musical, natural sounding. I have heard the Reference is even better and hope to hear it someday. I worked a room at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest last year and this was the DAC we used with the Baetis Revolution II Music... | |
| Berkeley vs. Simaudio The sound was effortless, smooth top to bottom and without the typical mechanical electronic haze some digital can have. All the designers are from Pacific Microsonics who developed HDCD and have done an excellent job with this product. | |
| VAC Amplifier Speaker Output Taps Congratulations on the 450! Kevin's Statement line is fantastic and I can only dream of ever reaching for it after a nasty divorce that depleted my wealth! Let us know what you decide concerning the taps. | |
| Berkeley vs. Simaudio Haven't heard the Simaudio, but the Berkeley Alpha DAC 2 is excellent sounding and great value for the money. I could easily live with the Alpha DAC 2. | |
| VAC Amplifier Speaker Output Taps I asked the same question when I received my first VAC amps years ago and Kevin told me to start with the tap closest to the ohms of my speakers but after the amps are broken in, trying the other tap; it could sound better. If you are running mono... | |
| Dan D 'Agostino, Mark Levinson, Jim Thiel, Terrible! You couldn't pay me to buy a Krell or Mark Levinson. Thiels I don't know much about. Krell hasn't designed anything truly new since Dan left to start his own company which is producing the best stuff Dan has ever designed sonically and v... | |

| Meitner/EMM Labs Firmware Upgrade = Sonic Bliss I received instructions to download and upgrade the new firmware and assume it was done correctly as I am hearing music. The upgrade does lower the noise floor, create more air between instruments and increased resolution without sounding analytic... | |
| Meitner/EMM Labs Firmware Upgrade = Sonic Bliss Is there a cost to receive this firmware update? How did you get yours? Only through a dealer? I wonder why there is no press release on it shown on the EMM Labs web site. |
