APL NWO2.5 ?


Though I'm not able to hear this player, I'm about to take the plunge......
Is it as good as some audiophiles claim ?

AHHH, I finally received my NWO today, FedEx driver said I owed him a tip cause of the weight. 82lbs, WOW, what a gorgeous, well made, machine. I hooked it up cold, as soon as I got home, and walla, music, wonderful, harmonically rich, extended, detailed, tight deep bass, articulate midbass, glorious midrange, and treble to die for. Amazing, being cold, right out of the case. This is before any burn in, Man oh man, I am gonna have some fun here, fine tuning my system. I have been collecting power cords for the past couple months in anticipation of receiving my NWO.

suggestions, welcome
Brent, could ya lend me a Kubala?

My initial setup with the NWO was plugged into my conditioner, Alex told me to go straight to my dedicated line, cause, I was missing the TRUE sound of the player. I was real skeptical at first, but, I decided to give it a try. Man, what a difference, I will say this, I am really smiling right now, AND, I should have my custom speakers here next week, hopefully. I need to go listen to some music, cause it's been a long time since I have enjoyed my system so much. Alex, THANKS.

More to come...as machine burns in.
Steve-

Congrats on your new toy. I know you've been waiting a while for it and we'll be interested to hear your reaction as it breaks in. Looks like I will also be getting one in the not too distant future.

Just put a VD Genesis PC on my 3910 and it made a tremendous positive difference, even more so than I had expected, replacing an Epiphany X. Rick S. told me it is quite a bit better than my Revelation PC and he was right - its at another level. Very impressive in my system and definitely worth a try, IMHO.
Congrats 711. I see you are going to try Purist Dominus PC. You may want to try also its newest top-flight sibling--the Anniversary. It works extremely well with stock X-01 Limited. G.
Steve -

Congrats! I am certain it will make some beautiful music.

I will second Guido's comment on the Purist Anniversary Power cord on the X-01. I used the Anniversary PC on the X-01LE and found the cord to be a great match. FYI - they do take more burn in than the Dominus if I recall correctly.
Steve, you're most welcome! Enjoy it! :-)

The Denons, as well as many other high-end digital products, has a switching mode power supply inside, while the NWO and many others have linear power supply.

The reason why I am bringing this up is because there is a huge difference between what power cord and power conditioner/regenerator will be used together with digital audio component having switching mode or linear power supply. This said; what works best with Denon might not be best with NWO.

Alex
