| Esoteric UX-1: How "noisy"? Yes, the TEAC VRDS Neo transports in the X-01, UX-1 and I presume other similarly engineered TEAC player is mechanically relatively noisy. I suspect though, that if you can hear the motor spinning while you play music, your player may be resting o... | |
| Do Cables Wear Out? OK, so my previous post was in fact complete rubbish. However what is moderately true is that old cable can become slightly oxidized and consequently may loose some conductivity, regardless of the type of music you listen to. | |
| Do Cables Wear Out? The regular application of finely particulated Allotropic SnakeOil (TM) from Ophidic Audio Systems will prevent premature depolymerization and breakdown of copper-to-co-valent copper bonds of the basal IC transmissive metallic polymer chain. Most ... | |
| MCD7000 outputs fixed or variable? I concur with VELO62. I have used an MCD7000 for 10 years from 1984 to 1994. Tried both variable and fixed output. Variable output adds a certain amount of haze to the sound. I suggest you get a good linestage for your MCD7000. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective You may be able to find the info you are seeking on Weiss Media and Accustic by reading this thread from the very beginning. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Henryhk, you may want to contact Jonathan Tinn directly at (503) 221-0465. Or send him a private message. MikeLavigne had also created a short lived thread discussing the EMM Signature. While the thread has since been pulled, he can send you his f... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Chris, how do the DC-91 and the Stello differ sonically? And how are they alike? | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Lush, no comment was meant 'ad hominem.' The only experience I have with modded players is limited to a late model of the APL 1000. It performed below my hope and expectations when compared directly to an original X-01, even though the APL 1000 wa... | |
| ESOTERIC X-03 VS. AYRE C5XE Yes, there appear now to be SE versions of the UX-3 and X-03 available in the US. Please see:http://www.teac.com/esoteric/X-03_SpecialEdition.htmlAs the X-03 and corresponding SE version are natively optimized for audio, they would be more appropr... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Lush, the friendly audiofools gathering at this particular watering hole have intentionally avoided those more earthy metaphores that happily remind us of highway wrecks, RobotWars, pro wrestling matches, and roaches and stinkbugs making a satisfy... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Crushes? Is it that heavy? Sounds ominous! | |
| Power Cord Flavors Tplavas, I am delighted you will be introducing your own line of PCs soon, after considerable audition of the competition. In addition to what TVAD already correctly pointed out, a lot of us are conducting PCs comparison tests in very controlled e... | |
| ESOTERIC X-03 VS. AYRE C5XE Which Teac Esoteric model did Mr. martin compare to the DCS stack? | |
| A Tale Of Two. . . Anacondas Helix Much appreciated Vin_wei. Have you had both the Argento and the Anaconda in the same position on your system, that is on the power distributor? | |
| ESOTERIC X-03 VS. AYRE C5XE The only thing in common between the DV-50 and the X-03 is the brand. DV-50 is an older universal design, which does not even have the TEAC VRDS transport, but an apparently very average OEM transport. X-03 is essentially a scaled down X-01, inclu... |
