| What to do next . . .? >> Last night I tried the Denon unit. I can't say I heard any really noticable difference.Bingo. That is what I was saying above. And I can assure you that it will be the same story even if you get whatever it is that you want as a digital s... | |
| What to do next . . .? Let me get this straight ... you own both the Denon and Cal audio, and yet you ask which is better to a bunch of folks on Audiogon.Don't you think you should let your ears decide ? If you cannot form an opinion by listening to both the pieces, the... | |
| What to do next . . .? I disagree with all the previous posters. At this level, the source is not going to make a huge difference. There is not a huge lot of differences in digital sources.Based on your equipment, maximum bang for the buck will be to upgrade your preamp... | |
| Wilson Sasha, SF Amati Anniversario, Thiel CS3.7 Stevecham, you must be more knowledgeable about speaker design than a man who has successfully marketed the best selling high end speaker over $10,000 K. His speakers continue to earn raves all over the globe.Did you stay at a holiday inn last nig... | |
| Speaker Longevity I am sure the speakers have degraded over 10 years, but the question is have your ears degraded even more during that period ? I would quit worrying about it and enjoy the speakers. Popular wisdom (?) on the net has it that speakers can last up to... | |
| New amp being touted as among the best ever...... Ben,the review is posted on the absolutesounds dot com site. My curiosity was also piqued reading the review, and I would also like to hear this amplifier.Paul Miller is not given to hyperbole, but we will find out over time if this becomes a clas... | |
| Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest? Double that .... Sonus Faber Guarneri Mementos | |
| Tubes vs. solid state. Guido,I have had 2 CJ preamps in my system: the venerable CJ Premier 14 and later the Premier 17LS2. To my ears, as advertized, the CJ's sound just right !The Ayre KX-R to my ears has a similar sound ... just better, with lower noise, better bass,... | |
| Tubes vs. solid state. Guido,of course feedback can be applied to preamps, and in fact most do ! If your preamp uses an opam for volume control, then most likely your preamp is using lots of feedback.I wish I had your ears :-) That way I could get rid of the KX-R and ju... | |
| Wilson Sophia vs. Piega P10 Good luck ! I was just messing with you. I don't have the room for these speakers.Incidentally, if you take a look on Soundstage, it seems to me that Sophia 1 betters Sophia 2, at least as far as distortion measurements of both the speakes are con... | |
| Tubes vs. solid state. Guido,I have. And although my sample is limited, I have found a very strong correlation between zero feedback designs and my long term satisfaction with the equipment. Non-zero feedback designs that I have dealt with and discarded because of aural... | |
| My findings on Magico V2.....what now? Mariv, live music is not "exciting" ? Next you will be telling us that live sex (as opposed to the internet variety) is not "exciting". | |
| Tubes vs. solid state. Atmasphere, do zero feedback solid state designs share the same benefits as zero feedback tube amps ? Thanks | |
| Wilson Sophia vs. Piega P10 Shakey,are you eyeing what I am eyeing on audiogon ?May the best bidder win :-) | |
