| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Sony needs to wake up and smell the coffee. They have, in my opinion, a superb product with huge sales potential. They are failing miserably when it comes to facilitating commercial availability of their catalogue in DSD, now this issue with Vtune... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Schubert, good thing I'm not running a business. I wouldn't know how to build a business plan around an assumption that 90% of my customers are idiots. How is that for a company brand."Successfully selling junk to complete idiots for generations. ... | |
| ILLusion Liquid Air Umbilical for Modwright units Wig, I finally cleared enough time to get a good critical A/B in on the Illusion and Truth umbilicals with the ModWright HAPZ1. I posted a review which should appear shortly. Bottom line is that this was a very nice find, and my enthusiasm for thi... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Jcaudio, I don't use the Vtuner often, but I did notice the same thing the last time I tried to connect. I can certainly understand why you are upset. Seems like sony is making that fatal audio mistake here, the mistake of assuming its customers a... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mrmb, Indiana has been a great place to live, work, and raise a family. People here are friendly and the cost of housing in particular is very favorable. It is not a glamorous location, but there is a lot to like here. I don't feel a compelling de... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Mitch, my updates on burn in were "complicated" by purchase of new amplifiers. This rendered any continuation of the burn in progress impossible, since there was a quantum jump in performance of the system with the new amps. The amps are new so th... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES or NAD M51? Gfcf, I have owned the HAPZ1 since april. The DSD remastering engine works very well. I have 900 plus albums transferred to the machine. One can turn on and off the DSD engine, and to my ears, conversion to DSD results in a noticeable improvement ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Goldeneraguy,Thanks for the kind words. I have indeed suffered long. Perhaps things will turn around for both the Browns and the Cavs soon. We will see. Out west, it is a different kind of beauty. The heat would be a show stopper for me, though my... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Charles, well said. As I have grown, matured, and become more experienced in the world of music reproduction in the home -- isn't that better terminology than audio? I have noticed that I tended to agree with certain reviewers, tended to like cert... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Thanks Mikirob, Yes, please keep me posted on your tube rolling exploits with the dynamo. As for me, I just got the Mullard CV378s from Coincident and stuck them in the Franks. Very nice tubes right out of the box. Definitely an improvement over ... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Thanks Charles. I'm hoping to hike 3-4 times a week, more initially. In recent years, I've been doing somewhere between 70-90 miles a week on my hiking vacations. I usually drop about 5-7 pounds and feel terrific. There is no doubt this will be th... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Mikirob, very glad to hear that you like the Dynamo so much. As for me, I am using a 1967 Blackburn Mullard GZ34, which I do think this amp likes, but otherwise I am still using the stock tubes. I bought a new house and am preparing for the move t... | |
| Destat CDS There was a very recent thread on this subject. You might want to do a search. There were those who found it useful and those who heard no difference. Almarg had a very plausible explanation for the different responses to the destat. As for me, I ... | |
| Best 300B Jedinite, I recently purchased a pair of Coincident Frankensteins and had an opportunity to audition the Psvane TIIs, Ts, and HiFi 300B tubes. The Ts and TIIs were substantially better than the HiFis, but the difference between the Ts and TIIs was... | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? Kijanki, LOL. So guys that are interested in beer, sex, and football should be in good shape, right? |
