| Berkeley Alpha DAC vs Theta Gen VIII and stuff... I have compared the Modwright transporter to the Theta and I liked the Modwright much better but a preamp with the modwright makes a huge difference. You can not run the transporter direct to amps. A good preamp makes all the difference in the world. | |
| Lamm ML2, VLadimirs best effort to date? I have had both the Ml1 and ML1.1 and as far as sound they both sounded about the same. The ML1 did sound a bit better overall but is was broken in more when I had them side by side. Both are amazing amps and just about the best I've heard. I use ... | |
| VAC Standard limited edition preamp I like Aesthetix in that price range. | |
| Best amplifier for Wilson Maxx 2's Boulder Is the best I've heard on the Maxx2. The new Conrad Johnson amps would be very good on them also. | |
| To Avalon owners,,what should I buy? I've also owned the Diamond and I tired the Indra. The Indra is no Diamond or baby Isis, trust me. If your in a small room maybe but it is still very limited on the bass and volume side. I also thought it was a bit light sounding. I also don't lik... | |
| Mac C2300 vs Aesthetix Calypso/Rhea? Your out of your mind. The C2300 would be a step down. Trust me I've owned both. The C2300 is not even truly balanced. Those XLR jacks are just for looks I guess. Not sure why you would put XLR jack if they are not truly balanced. Aesthetix is ver... | |
| Will a Conrad Johnson fan like Modwright LS 36.5 Odd because I thought the CT 5 was much better then the my LS16. I do know that the CT 5 takes forever to break in because of the Teflon caps but in no way did I think the LS16 was even close. You can call ED at CJ and he will tell what he thinks.... | |
| anyone using piega speakers? I hated them. I owned the C10 ltd and couldn't wait to sell them. Some of the worse speakers I have ever owned. They also have a very inflated retial price IMO. There's a reason why they are so discounted on audiogon. I figured that out the hard way. | |
| Will a Conrad Johnson fan like Modwright LS 36.5 CJ preamps with the Teflon caps in them very very good. I'm not a huge fan in there preamps that don't have the Teflon caps. If you can move up into the CT5 then I will say there's no contest but even with the two you mentioned I would still go wi... | |
| Aestheix Calypso owners,tube advise needed It's only done only at Aesthitex.... Aesthetix has a new website at aesthetix.net. IT's about time! | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond price Johnax I just sold a pair of Diamonds in that color so email and I will tell what price I got for them. | |
| Modded transporter vs stock with external DAC The modwright is better then stock units going to 99.9% of DAC out there. The only 2 DAC's that might be better is the Berkley or the Levinson 30.6 because what they do with Jitter. I'm a true believer that you get everything analog as soon as pos... | |
| Aestheix Calypso owners,tube advise needed Have you looked into the signature upgrade? I have had both and the signature is a whole different level. I was very surprised at how good the signature is even compared with some of the best preamps. You forget all about low noise tubes with the ... | |
| XLR Connector Comparison Nothing compares to Xhadow connector. They are the best.... | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? I have found them more Aggressive then Fatiguing. But we all hear different and we all have different rooms. When I had my Maxx 2 they were to aggressive for me no matter what amps I used. But it all comes down to personal taste at this price poin... |
