| Which Audio Research Preamp? I owned the ARC SP-9 and upgraded to the SP14 due to the better phono section. To my ears the SP14 has better soundstaging and imaging. | |
| Anyone With A Class 'D' Amp Play A 4 or 2 Ohm Speaker? Theta Prometheus monoblocks powering Wilson Maxx 3 speakers. Class D and no issues driving them. | |
| Why Are There So Many Audio Research Reference 5SE's For Sale I finally was able to upgrade from the Ref 5SE to a Ref 10. It was worth it! | |
| Upgrading of Minimus 7's Modified my pair years ago using Fulton brown cable to replace the RS cable internally. It was a great little speaker when I was beginning the journey into audio. | |
| The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ? This whole BS scare tactic began back when one manufacturer messed up the finishing process on a specific number of discs that were eventually exchanged and replaced. Notice we haven't heard about this for many years until the OP heard what Paul ... | |
| Patricia Barber, Cafe Blue "un-mastered" Nope, not sending it back to Elusive Disc! I am happy with my copy. I don't have the original version. All I can say is this version sounds fantastic on my system! | |
| New Wilson - Wamm Master There's an optional separate sub bass enclosure for them. Probably similar to their sub that is still current? | |
| Wilson Audio Haters There is probably demand for the WAMM from the Asian market. I hope he sells them all. I have owned Watt Puppy 7’s. They were Brooks Berdan’s demo speakers from his showroom. They replaced Martin Logan Odysseys. Years later I am now retired and up... | |
| Audio Research is launching new products, "The Foundation Series" I have owned ARC products from the SP5-SP7, to the current Ref 5SE preamplifier. The older products sound really great and offer a great value when found used. As far as rolling tubes with the older products it gives you what you want sonically. H... | |
| Class D Technology I am extremely happy with my Theta Prometheus amplifiers. The front end tubed preamp just makes the result that much better. If possible listen to the amps in your system. | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? I certainly do. I had bought Magnaplanar MGIIB's and was so smitten with them. I went over a friend's house (Donald) who had Dahlquists DQ10's and it was the first time I heard them in someone's house instead of the showroom floor. I always loved... | |
| esoteric products Thanks Jafant much appreciated. I have about 200 hours on the unit now. In comparison to SACD vs CD, Yes SACD depending on the disc sounds fantastic. I also have some CD's that sound very good on the K-01X! It appears they advanced the playback ca... | |
| esoteric products zephyr24069 and dgarretson, Thank you for the replies much appreciated. I have read up on the K-01X and the filter settings for both CD and SACD. There are two different audiophile sites I regularly post on and zephyr you are also on it, as I have... | |
| esoteric products Jafant,Why didn't you like the CD playback? Which Esoteric unit? I have not heard that from other owners. I have started buying SACD music and playing them back on the Oppo BDP-105. | |
| esoteric products I have the Oppo BDP-105. I just ordered a K-01X. My last audio player. I can use it's DAC if I decide to ever give up CD or SACD. The Oppo is good at 2 channel analog playback for me but needed something better for playback to compliment the rest ... |
