| Problem with Arcam or JM LABS Try something different than the Rega cables. As much as I think in general that Rega is a good brand, I was not impressed with their cables at all when I heard them. On the system I heard them in initially, I was not impressed with the system unt... | |
| MOON I-5 versus KRELL KAV 400XI Dspraglow ... just a small correction. I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with your assessment of the Moon i5.3 vs Krell KAV-400xi, but it is not true that the i5.3 has a larger tranformer than the Krell. The Moon i5.3 has a 500VA transformer... | |
| 2006 BEST Female Vocal CD/SACD/XRCD Sara K - "Hell or High Water" on SACDSee the reviews on SA-CD.nethttp://www.sa-cd.net/showtitle/3731I'd say this is the best SACD I own, both in terms of sound quality and music. I'm referring to the SACD stereo layer since I don't listen to multi... | |
| MOON I-5 versus KRELL KAV 400XI I'm not quite sure where a lot of people find the Krell KAV-400xi to be cold sounding. I never found that at all. Perhaps there are some people saying this without hearing it based on a supposed Krell reputation of being cold in the past or earlie... | |
| How much better is the Krell 400xi compared to the "The manufacturer rates it a 200wpc/8ohms. How can it be rated higher by someone else?"Easily, if the manufacturer really underrates the 8 ohm power specs far below what it actually measures. For example, it looks better to have an integrated amp ... | |
| Mini Monitors - Dynaudio and JM Labs If you're not thrown off by the Pioneer name, you may want to consider their EX-Series which was developed by TAD (Technical Audio Devices - Pioneer's high-end speaker division). These speakers were developed by the same guy that developed the hig... | |
| Did 6moons post the BelCanto DAC3 review? Kevziek, I agree with you. Your take on the DAC3 and its comparison to the DAC2 is pretty much the same as mine. I definitely disagreed with Edgar Kramer that the DAC2 "a large dollop of the same with a smidgen of warmth thrown and the fatter bott... | |
| Suggestion on speakers for Bel Canto s300iu We typically match ASW loudspeakers with Bel Canto. They work fantastic together. I'm a Focal dealer as well, but for me personally I prefer the Bel Canto match with ASW. In a small room like that, I'd highly suggest the ASW Genius 100. It is a sm... | |
| Mini Monitors - Dynaudio and JM Labs Liuhao, I have to disagree that the Micros do not have any bass punch at all. Sure, there are other speakers that are much more extended in the bass, but I have actually found them to be quite punchy in the bottom end. Perhaps your room is too big... | |
| Bel Canto Dac 3 I'd say that pretty much everything across the board has improved. I'm having to go by memory with the DAC2 since it has been discontinued for quite a while so I haven't played with one recently. So, I definitely can't give a detailed comparison. ... | |
| Bel Canto Dac 3 No, the DAC3 is entirely different from the DAC2 and sonically is a big step up. There are no tubes in the DAC3. It works very well as a preamplifier/DAC if you are only using digital sources. | |
| Best subwoofer for a Wilson Puppy Rives:There isn't anything special that needs to be done to have the sub crossover below 40Hz. I'm not quite sure what was the problem in your situation. This isn't an issue that was addressed by a software update. It shouldn't have been a problem... | |
| Best subwoofer for a Wilson Puppy In response to Rives, "...the Velodyne will not work terribly well. I worked at a client's trying to get that sub to integrate to WP 7s and could not. The issue was the crossover's lowest point was 40 Hz."This is not correct. I'm a dealer for Velo... | |
| Cary Audio A306 Digital Amp It's a very good piece. Loads of power, smooth and musical. It's built like a tank as well.Disclaimer: I am a Cary dealer, so you can take my opinion for what it's worth. | |
| Roksan Caspian CDP or other for Bel Canto amp The newest version of the Roksan Caspian CD players have 24/192 dacs. It is a huge improvement over the previous versions. I am a Bel Canto dealer and we quite often sell the Roksan Caspian with Bel Canto as sonically it is a very good match. For ... |
