| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? AVGURU, PSCIALLI had a stock Denon 2200 for a brief spell and found it rather disappointing, even after upgrading the powerchord. He is now in audio Nirvana with his ModWrite Sony 999ES Platinum. | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions As the Audio Research web site has not been updated with information on the new Ref 3 linestage, I thought of pasting here the OCRed content of the entire blurb on the device that I have recently received from Audio Research. So, here it goes. . .... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? TGUN5, I'm real proud of you! I will join you at the shootout in Chacago 'in spiritu'! | |
| Review: Esoteric DV-50 with Superclock 3 mod CD Player TGUN5, It would be very interesting to add a moded DV50 such as yours to the list of players to be compared in the upcoming shootout in the next few weeks by AVGURU and the Chicago gang.Details are posted on the long DV50 thread. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? There is a new review of a modified DV50 with the Superclock 3 modification by Reference Mods. This is a new thread worth following.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?rdgtl&1106373263Perhaps the owner can be persuaded to participate with ... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Sorry folks, a general reminder to keep comments pure audiophilic in nature and to avoid postings concerning commercial transactions with manufacturers, or personal requeststs for transaction prioritazation. Thank you for your understanding. | |
| Pass Labs versus Jeff Rowland, Audio Research Eliahu, my experience is somewhat between cursory and extensive. I spent about 4 hours with a dealer and the 201 were among three amps I listen to. I am not sure how much the devices were broken in, but I know they had been running for several day... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? DBLD, as AVGURU mentioned I did listen to the Bel Canto PL1-A in New York, together with the Burmester 001 and the Esoteric X-01. My detailed findings are posted at the following URL:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1090867688&... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? AVGURU, the new AIR CX-5 would be an interesting player to add to the mix.A friend of mine heard it at CES and found it to be marvellous. If you could replace UX-1 with X-01 it may be a good idea, because X-01 has twice the DACs on its two channel... | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Marcelo, you are likely correct, but our hypothesis need be verified by someone more knowledgeable than us. When do you expect to receive the two units? | |
| Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions Marcello, if I understand things correctly, and the Ref 3 has an output impedance of 600 Ohms on the balanced outputs, this change makes the device meet the standard for balanced output impedance. I spoke to a friend of mine who is a pass lab deal... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? PSCIALLI, you may want to relate to the thread your recent interesting experience with the Sony ModWright after you realized that your power cabling topology was. . . suboptimal. Thanks, Guido | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? AVGURU and all,, my apologies for my last post. It was clearly untimely and unnecessary. I had just missed Charles's much broader, comprehensive, and equanimously worded point of order. I will herewith make a valiant attempt to refrain from starti... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Kyle, respectfully I must request that you abstain from personal attacks on anyone on this list. I am truly not interested in reading about any professional or personal disagreement you may or may not have had in the past or in the present, or may... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? DBLD, the news is exceedingly worrysome. Your findings may make Schmaltzenstein & Pugnetti's study obsolete. It is quite possible that DAC may have mutated and now is born by a prion particle, such as in Jacob Kreutzfeld dementia, also known a... |
