| VAC PHI 2.0 or CTC Blowtorch or... EMM is not using the term second generation as far as I know. I used it because there were changes. I don't want to get anyone mad at me but I will say this. Production of the CDSD stopped toward the end of last year and didn't resume until the en... | |
| VAC PHI 2.0 or CTC Blowtorch or... Exlibris. I think I have a solution for you If you want more density and weight. Replace the Philips with the CDSD. The Philips works well with the EMM dacs but are a little thin sounding. I've had two EMM/Philips repaired and modded by APL HiFi a... | |
| ARC REF3 and Boulder 2060-a match made in heaven David. I've been wondering about the new ref3. Please keep us updated as you have more time with it.Did you compare it with the Bat 51se?Thanks | |
| phantom center channel There's a very good roundtable discussion on this in one of last years Absolute Sounds. Don't rememenber which issue but I think it's included in the surround sound discussion.EMM labs will mod their Switchman preamp for a phantom center by spliti... | |
| I want profoundly better bass Talon Khorus. They go down to 17hz and you can find them used for under $5000. | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 fplanner. Mine's the 3.5 sig. Not the plus. I've been using a Silent Source cord on it. | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Fplanner2000: I had my APL plugged into a BPT3.5 also. Recently plugged it into the wall and it improved. I talked to Alex about it and He said that his power supply already converts to balanced power and better not to plug it into the BPT. Just g... | |
| How good is Empirical Audio's Parasound JC1 Mod? Drhst20. I'm glad you made you're first post on this thread. I have been interested in this mod since it was first advertised and started an earlier thread on this subject with no replys. I immediately noticed he was quoting from the E/A page. Not... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Sorry if this is off thread (it is) but Sean's post got my interest.Sean, you certainly know more about the teck issues than me but doesn't that hugh copper buss bar in the Hydra 8 distribute the current to all outlets? If not, what's it for? Thanks. | |
| Halo JC1 lacks on-off breaker on rear panel I would leave them on all the time but switch them to low bias (toggle on rear panel) when not listening. They just get warm, not hot, in low bias. | |
| Parasound JC-1 vs. Pass 250.5 Irish65. Sounds good to me. Thanks | |
| Parasound JC-1 vs. Pass 250.5 Irish 65. Do you mean best sounding X series or their best period. I've been told that the XA 160's were their best sounding amp. I'd really like to know as I've been considering them both lately. | |
| APL 3910 owners, has anyone tried APL upsampler? I'm the only one IN THE WORLD to have this new linear upsampler in a player. I got it today and that's what Alex told me today. He only received 4 chips and has 10 more on the way (hopefully). My 3910/APL only has 170 hours on it and new chip just... | |
| Do you keep your EMM DAC 6e on? I forgot to ask about your ic's. I don't know what you're using. Just seemes that something in your system isn't matching well with the EMM gear. | |
| Do you keep your EMM DAC 6e on? Darren: Sorry I missed your call this evening. Got in late. Something seems amiss in your system. I would guess the p/c's on the dac and transport. I never even tried the supplied Kimber that came with the dac. I had good success with silent sourc... |
