| Pass labs XA-160.8 monos - or - Mark Levinson 536 monos for Magico's I heard the Bricasti M28s compared to McIntosh 601s, Jeff Rowland 725 mono-amps, and Absolare tube amps in the same system. The Absolare is in a different price category, but was my favorite amp . The M28s were my least favorite with a very dark s... | |
| What's Next I realize that you only listened to the PL300s. My question should read, What will the system consists of when you audition the PL500s? | |
| What's Next What are the other components in the system with the PL500s? The PL500s are voiced on the slightly dark side compared to many of todays highly talked about speakers. In my system the PL500s have as much detail as any other; however it doesn't hit ... | |
| What's Next smcampbell,There are no absolutes in Audio, only preferences. I've owned Wilson Audio Sophia 2s, 3s, and Sasha's. I've owned Audio Physics, Revel, Aerial, Artemis EOS, Mirage M1s, and listened to Dynaudio, Raidho, Magico, YG, KEF, Paradigm 7Fs, an... | |
| Chord Dave Replacement Steve,Sorry anytime I read statements like, " The PCM DAC that buries them all and has the best technology for volume control.", I just stay away from. There are no absolutes in audio, only preferences. | |
| Chord Dave Replacement There are a lot of people that absolutely love the M-scaler. I've tried it in my system and I don't like it. To my ears it makes music sound unnatural. | |
| Chord Dave Replacement I've owned a PS Audio Directstream, Bricasti M1, Jeff Rowland Aeris, Chord Dave, and today I auditioned the Rockna Wavedream Edition DAC. Out of all of the DACs I've heard, I could easily live with the Aeris, Dave, or Wavedream. The Wavedream... | |
| Rockna Wavedream DAC - SE or Balanced...did you hear it yet? I will be listening to the Rockna Wavedream DAC sometime next week. | |
| Paradigm Persona series contuzzi,I've never purchased anything from Audiotroy. My dealer and I have been friends for several years and he allows me to either bring components home to evaluate in my system or I can listen to components in his system. I'm just as familiar ... | |
| Paradigm Persona series Talking to Audiotroy several times has allowed me to see him from a different perspective. Based on our conversations I don’t see him as arrogant, but someone that has a lot of knowledge and wants to expand his customer base. He never once suggest... | |
| Paradigm Persona series I respect all opinions, because Audio and most things in life are about personal preference. What I don't like is the hypocrisy from many that love Paradigm speakers. I see comments similar to this all the time, " The issue with any of the cleane... | |
| GaN-based Class D power amps rsf507, I agree with you about HEA being a niche market. The question it seems more manufacturers would be asking is how to expand their market. I submit the ever increasing cost is a significant factor that prevents many from being involved with ... | |
| GaN-based Class D power amps G.,Despite owning several JR components I do think George is trying to make a good point. With so few parts, what justifies the high cost of some Class D amplifiers, including the JR Continuum S2? I understand R&D, overhead, and profit, but mo... | |
| Which power cords should I look at? I tried High Fidelity CT-2 power cords in my system and they didn't sound good. All systems are different and the only way to know is to hear them in your system. I really like Audioquest's Storm series and Audience power cords. | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-5 Speaker Cables You can try Wireworld Series 7 and they should be discounted, Audience Au24 SX, and Clarus Crimson are a few you can try. |
