| Esoteric X-03 vs Accuphase DP-500 I have had DP-500 at home. This is a very smooth sounding player, which for many may be just too safe and laidback. The bass and timing fell below averange, but HF-extension and air, resolution and soundstage depth are exeptional at this price poi... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I auditioned the DP-78 via a balanced pair of 1,5m AQ Sky XLR ICs. The Naim 555 was auditioned via its unbalanced outputs (there are no balanced outs) using 1,5m AQ Sky RCA ICs. I know about the different pin assigment on the Accuphase gear, so I ... | |

| HDMI to DVI adapter? Unkie Jeff -You can use adapters, but only on the DVI side. DVI connector is very robust. | |
| Hum in ARC Ref 3 not on 0 but 1-103 light buzz Mine is dead quiet - no different than a SS preamp in fact. | |
| Audio Research amp's retubing experiences Anyone tried the BLACK SABLE SEDs 6550C instead of the regular ones ?Tube Depot carries them at a 100% permium. | |
| CAT JL-2 vs Tenor 75Wi Wp I second Ralph (Atma) thoughts.I have had trully OUTSTANDING results driving my Eidolons Vision with both 16W and 30W SET amps in a 19 x 14 room.When I read those comments on how difficoult the Eidolons are to drive, I always wonder, where do they... | |
