| What's better than the Jolida JD100 I went from the Jolida to a Cary 308 (not tubed) and it was a noticable step up. I wanted more lower level detail and tighter bass which I got. The next step up for me was going to be the 303-200 but I ended up buying a Muse Model 9 Gen 3. I highl... | |
| Looking for a Solidly good inexpensive DAC The Paradisea's pop up here just keep a look out if that is what you want. | |
| Looking for a Solidly good inexpensive DAC Jim you might want to try a Scott Nixon dac. I hear good things about it. A guy on here said he heard both the SN dac and Paradisea and like the SN dac better. I didn't listen to him and bought the Paradisea. I was disappointed with it. Not saying... | |
| Krell FPB 300 vs ML 333 for Thiel CS6 I have heard the FPB200, ML 331.5 and 334 on Thiels. All are excellent IMO. Personally I liked the 334 better. The .5 upgrade if I remember correctly is approx. $2k. | |
| BAT VK-250SE and VK-3iX/SE I have a BAT VK200 and VK5i and love them. They are just so musical. I have owned quite a few amps and pre's and this combo is one of my favorites. I know what you are looking at is a few steps higher than mine but I can recommend BAT.A friend of ... | |
| Python Alpha versus VH Audio AirSine I am going to add a dedicated line in the near future and run the amp to it. I am running the amp straight to the wall now. The UO is running the front end and it seems that alot of you here don't think to favorably of it. Would a power conditione... | |
| Python Alpha versus VH Audio AirSine I had a Python Helix and sold it. I liked it but overall it pushed the soundstage back too far for my tastes. Another friend of mine said the same thing about it. I didn't know how the Python Alpha would compare? | |
| Python Alpha versus VH Audio AirSine I have had the UO for about 3 years because of protection and some filtering. I used it on the front end. Also it always seemed to get good reviews so I figured it offered protection and filtering for not alot of money. I was using the Hydra on my... | |
| Bat VK-500 vs Krell Ksa 250? Two totally different amps IMO. The BAT wins hands down. I have had a FPB 200 in my system and I actually own a VK200. My buddy here in town has a VK500 and owned several Krell amps. By far the best Krell was his FBP200. When he bought the VK500 h... | |
| Python Alpha versus VH Audio AirSine Yoby then I don't have any surge protection but I see your point.What is it about the UO you guys don't like? I used to have a Hydra 2 and sold it. Overall I did not like what it did in my system. Maybe I didn't have the right supply cord? | |
| Python Alpha versus VH Audio AirSine Jalapenos what would you suggest for conditioning? I am adding powercables as I can and then working on up. | |
| Mark Levinson Where is the Emotion?? I doubt the dac is your problem. I have heard it and to my ears it doesn't put me to sleep. You also have a nice transport. I love my Muse Model 9 Signature Gen III CDP.I suggest you start upgrading to an amp and preamp and then start with better ... | |
| AFFORDABLE 20 amp power cord for a Hydra? The cord from the wall to your Hydra will give you the most signature so choose carefully. The Shunyata Helix cords will set the soundstage back some or more middle row and the non-helix cords are more front row. At least that is what I experienced. | |
| Mark levinson 30.5 and 31.5 vs todays cd playerrs I do agree their current line of 400 series amps is something to be desired. I don't know what they were thinking? Levinson used to build large beefy amps with nice big heatsinks. To me that is an amp, not one without them. | |
| Mark levinson 30.5 and 31.5 vs todays cd playerrs It never ceases to amaze me how many Levinson haters there are. If someone does not like their products or should I say they already have a preconceived notion they won't, then the negative reviews unjustly fly. I have owned several ML pieces and ... |
