Luxman D-06u or Esoteric K-05Xs CD / SACD player?
Also depends on what type of music you listen to. Im a Classic Rock guy primarily and unfortunately much of the genre isnt recorded all that great. If everything sounded as good as the production on Dire Straits material for example there wouldnt ...

Yep there it is.  "Lots of Gear" and yet after having SO MUCH experience we end up with Unknown Crappy speakers, A Luxman Amp paired with a Bottom of the Line McIntosh Pre-Amp.  I AM IN AWE of the expertise and vast knowledge of synergy that put t...

Ditto.  When a person brags about their lowly C47 and then has the audacity to trash some of the best gear in the hobby its just mind boggling. All the insecurities could not fit on a roll of toilet paper. Says his SPEAKERS are the component most ...

Dont worry CuriousJim. The OP doesnt want any blood on his hands. Can you imagine the headlines the next day if this thread ceased to exist.  "Aspiring Violinist Drowns himself in Princeton Church Lavatory". The only clue left behind as to the tro...

I was just kiddin with you Mr D (And being only slightly sarcastic).I'm fessing up regardless of how bad it makes me look.  It was not the MOLA DAC that was compared to the PS Audio Dac. It was the MOJO Mystique V3 Dac.  My apologies for dissing t...

If I could remember where I read it I would have posted it. It was either Stereophile, TAS, Part time Audiophile or one of the UK Digital mags I subscribe to most likely.  I own NONE of these Dacs so have no skin in the game.Mr Decibel...please tr...

I dont believe everything I read in the trades when it comes to a "review" of 1 particular item...cause we all know they dont trash anything otherwise the manufacturers wouldnt send them any freebies to review down the road.  Shoot-outs are anothe...

  Within the past couple of months a Shoot-Out of Dacs was done in one of the trades.  The Mola Mola DAC (Around 9K I think) couldnt even beat out the freakin PS AUDIO DAC which you can get for a little over 3K.  Thats pretty pathetic in my book.

AYRE Amps are not in the same league as Arc, Dag, Lux and many others.  YES I owned the Ayre. Still have the KXR-20 that I will trade in for something else at some point.  AYRE MXR or VXR are available for about 60% of MSRP when they show up used....

Roxy,If you really want to amuse yourself pick up a copy of the Princeton Gazette on Monday Dec 17th. Might be a story in there about a elderly man’s body parts + Pawn Shop Fiddle found stuffed inside a D’agostino Amp Flight case in a Church parki...

Viber,  Your Analysis is based..as always...on speculation. Nobody needs to read your "In-depth" Faery tales based on ZERO experience in most instances. I only repeated what the OP wrote....I didnt "twist" anything concerning the Plinius. I will l...

Viber,  You would make a HORRIBLE detective/fact finder etc.  The op CLEARLY stated that the Plinius beat the Dag Integrated with THOSE speakers, in his current setup. He also CLEARLY stated that one shouldnt surmise that the Plinius would beat th...
