| Wilson Benesch Arc Speakers? Thanks. You seem to be SFlover, as well! I am VERY satisfied with the EAIIs, and I don't even have the stands yet...I would love to hear the Amatis at some point. | |
| Wilson Benesch Arc Speakers? Out of curiosity, Musiqlover, did you listen to the EAIIs before the Cremona, or any other SFs?Pass Labs 2.5 and 250, btw, are a great match for my EAs... | |
| Wilson Benesch Arc Speakers? As the owner of Sonus Faber Electa Amator IIs, and just having sold some very impressive Piega C8LTDs (for space, NOT sonic reasons!), I'd have to caution you against taking comments which suggest there is any speaker line which is in a league abo... | |
| Whassup with Accuphase: Thanks, linkster. With there only a thousand or so difference in price between the new 77s (gray market) and used 75vs, the decision is tough. I am not against having sacd, it would be nice to have, just to hedge my bets. But if the performance of... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1: let's talk? Wow! I read (speed read, that is) all the problems you had: it put me off EC. I also have been put off Aero because of all the chip problems. If a company makes several errors of this magnitude, I want nothing to do with them (I'll never buy Ford,... | |
| Verity Speaker Parsifal Encore I second the enthusiasm for the Parsifal: I several times have heard a pair driven by SCD-1 and Cary pre&: very appealing. Also heard a pair driven by Thor cd and Atma-Sphere: also lovely.I was so impressed I purchased a pair of Fidelios, whic... | |
| Piega's "New "Spk line: "Improved or Just Hype?" I have had the Piega C-8ltd in my "system" for three hours. Bright? Yes...for the first twenty minutes, or so. Then, glorious music! And this result from my 13-year old compents: Classé DR-8, Sony ESD 608 cdp (direct to amp), and ancient MIT ics a... | |
| Speakers that have holographic imaging on vocals.. I'd have to third lgregoir and itsall dark: Verity Fidelios did the image thing, but more importantly, the Sam Cooke you heard was a life-sized, emotive, 104.6 degree man. Don't get me started on Aretha, Janis, or Maria...(Muldaur or Callas). | |
| Thanks to all the participants and respondents Cabling, for now, is HT ProSilway II and ancient MIT-330 ics; speaker cable is Discovery Essential. I still have my DR-8, so I can tell what the improvement, if any, the X-250 will add. My reasoning was that, in the future, I'd have enough power t... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1: let's talk? Hi "9": I believe quality itself is not the issue, but rather the age of the unit, and also disclosure integrity. | |
| I am looking for a smoothest sounding outboard DAC I'd have to say that the Dodson 217 MKII D (the latest iteration, recently discontinued) is the best bargain on the used market: retailed for $5995, can be had for around 3k. There's a very good reason this dac is used by many audio societies; I f... | |
| Virtually lost, a minimalist cries out for "help." Manhandave: Been there, etc. I had the Placette at the same time I had a CEC 2X transport going through Illuminati D-60 to my Dodson 217 MK II. Later, I switched out the Placette (which replaced, and bettered, the Morrison ELAD) for a c-j Premier ... | |
| Virtually lost, a minimalist cries out for "help." Tireguy, or anyone else, With all the applicable caveats: how would YOU describe the differences between the 75v and the Capitole? I am winnowing my speaker selection down now, no decisions yet; also, for the time being, I'll be using my dinosaur ... | |
| Less is more? Premium passive linestage... HELP Thanks, I also did research which turned up some terrifyingly expensive transformer volume stuff from Silver Rock. Pretty ugly box, though, and you can buy most top tier actives for what they're asking! Still... | |
| Ever perform a preamp bypass comparision test? Agreed, and I won't open the can of dbt! |
