Hi Dave, I'm was not questioning your integrity, I was just asking a simple and I felt not unreasonable question considering the level of enthusiasm you've exhibited (and some of the well known shenanigans in the audio business). I fail to see the connection with your being a surgeon (which is a calling I have particularly high regard for having required 4 surgeries of by OS's) but perhaps you were simply indicating that you're not a lawyer(just joking for all our erstwhile, audiophile lawyers-I'm presently consulting a lawyer-and hoping his Dad was part pit-bull part tiger). I respectfully advise no insult intended. In fact I believe I've purchased some used gear from you in the past. Regarding that last comment "for now, am very happy.As always that can change:)." I hope you remain happy and an interesting poster to this forum. Your experience with state of the art products is valuable. Cheers. Pete
PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER
Hi All,
I just auditioned the Wavelength Audio Cosecant DAC on a very nice system at the local dealer. It was run through a Hovland 200 preamp , a Plinius amp and Avalon Eidolon Diamond speakers. This is all in a very well treated, good-sounding room.
It was, in a word spectacular. Beautiful tone, excellent bass, imaging soundstaging, etc. What was really amazing was a sense of space, or ambience that was imparted. We then compared the same CD's (Diana Krall, Jennifer warnes, some jazz), on a Levinson CDP. I'm not saying that the levinson is the last word in players, but it was what he had on the shelf.While it sounded good, it was much more bright, and "constricted".
Control was through an Imac using I-tunes, and the CD's had been nurned using Apple Lossless.
I ordered my Crimson on the spot.
