| Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva Hi Melbguy1, It's always exciting to have aspirations for newer/better gear 'someday' as most of us have been doing that for more years than they want to admit (myself for sure).It also keeps the audio magazines and of course the equipment manufac... | |
| Best CD transport? I was in a similar position somewhat except that I wasn't ripping anything but simply needed a transport to feed via spdif into my Dac (Lampizator Big 6 then recently a Big7) so I did exactly what you originally said you would: I bought an Oppo BD... | |
| True Sound Works Apogee Diva Ultimate - Any Good? Or, I apologize for misreading, you mentioned that your Gryphon is a stereo amp, not mono blocs... Obviously no matter in functionality but as stated, another one of those into the FR 's would be quite a performance combination! | |
| True Sound Works Apogee Diva Ultimate - Any Good? Your advisor(s) are absolutely correct for just those very reasons. BTW 2 prs of Gryphon monos powering FR's would be truly synergistic... WoW. | |
| True Sound Works Apogee Diva Ultimate - Any Good? I'm pretty certain the Full Ranges ( originally referred to simply as the "Apogee Originals") require bi amplification but I 'm sure your Gryphons would make a great 'Part A'. I would just give Rich a call if you get a minute as I believe they are... | |
| Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva Melbguy1, to hear my personal opinion of Apogees take a look at my response to the other ongoing thread here entitled "TSW Apogee Diva Ultimates Any Good"? I will add to it that, as I had mentioned before, I think the room size, in conjunction wit... | |
| True Sound Works Apogee Diva Ultimate - Any Good? Hello Lloydelee21, If it was a choice between the original Full Range and the "New" Amphytron (I'm referring to it as new because it simply didn't exist 25+ years ago) I would lean towards the Amphytron mainly because of the newer implementation o... | |
| True Sound Works Apogee Diva Ultimate - Any Good? Hello Lloydelee21, The Apogee full ranges are Apogee's flagship speaker. Some may argue that the Scintilla model competes with it but most agree that the Full Range is unquestionably the best save for the very limited production Grand model [which... | |
| Stereo Times Review of the Apogee Acoustics Diva Room Size (from my experienced opinion) is the number one factor in determining whether to use Duetta Sigs or Divas. I am the "buddy" of Ptmconsulting [above post]and as he mentioned I have been a planar fan for most of my audioHOLIC life. After M... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hello Tbg, Yes, in an ideal world personal auditioning in one's own system trumps all forms of verbal recommendations of course, but I think what keeps a lot of these threads alive is people being able to add their personal listening experience de... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Hello all...I've been following this rather long thread too. As a long-time chaser of the audio grail I find myself, like so many of us, getting closer and closer but never "done". My 2 cents about ultimate 16/44 dacs is my Lampizator Big 6...it j... | |
| Cary Audio V12R They generally go in the $2k-$2.5k range depending on which version (the "R" is the latest and best, the original was also good but I've heard mixed feelings on the in-between "i" version) and condition. Retail was mostly around $4-$5k again depen... | |
| Can a garage serve as listening room? Thanks Peter, I encourage anyone who really wants a dedicated room to try to make it happen as it's such an important factor and really can make such huge improvements in the sound. Good luck guys. | |
| EVS modified Oppo 105D Thank you Agisthos, you have confirmed what I had suspected...I was sure there must be room for improvement(s). Lamark, I'm happy for you and the many others who have utilized Ric at EVS. | |
| Can a garage serve as listening room? You can definitely do what Peter did ( Nice job!!!) as I also did mine too... A tremendous amount of work but we both followed similar paths with fairly similar results though mine started as a 13.5' x 19' and the finished interior ended just a bi... |
