| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 Thanks, I am going to assume it is a digital volume control and can be connected directly to an amp. | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 could someone confirm for me that the Sony unit actually has variable outputs (both balanced and SE). Most Sony digital sources have in the past. I realize the handheld has volume up/down but no where on the specs does it actually claim fixed vs v... | |
| Hypex Ncore 1200 Hey thanks for your response. I own Merrills. Driving Pioneer S1ex (very similar to TAD evolutions). Very nice combo. If they can handle the legendary load of the MBL's then they can handle anything out there I suspect.... | |
| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers Just took a stab at a pair of Merrills after a few email exchanges with Srajan at 6moons and some great long discussions with the gentleman I bought them from. Over the years I have found Srajan very consistent in his approach to products and what... | |
| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers Im going to chime in here as a new owner. Now that I have lived with them for a while its a little surprising to me these new modules from Hypex are not getting a little more attention.My opinion is that these amps are more than just the continued... | |
| Harbeth P3ESR vs Fritz Rev 5 vs DeVore Gibbon 3XL Roscoeiiiplease post your impressions after a little break-in. I think when it comes to the LS50 the typical hang ups come in to play full force: looks, cost, can't be that good. Thats the impression I got from the thread I started, equal resistan... | |
| Harbeth P3ESR vs Fritz Rev 5 vs DeVore Gibbon 3XL sorry No Regrets, forgot we had conversed on the other thread:) | |
| Harbeth P3ESR vs Fritz Rev 5 vs DeVore Gibbon 3XL No regrets,I don't have any direct experience with any of the three you listed either but all three (including tracking down an older pair of Proac 1sc which I have owned before) were ones I was looking at as well as den speaker for a den 13' by 1... | |
| KEF LS50 I would think the LS50 would better compare to the 7s or possibly the 30.1. I imagine in certain areas it will not be up to par with the Harbeth's but in the important areas be very similar. Throw in some of the unique things that its driver desig... | |
| KEF LS50 Bob,Same for me. This is where Harbeth is great.Body, weight and resolution together. My experience is that the driver size and material makes a big difference here. This is where I was most skeptical of the KEF before the purchase. the LS50 is re... | |
| KEF LS50 All valid observations. I would disagree with BIll however that this just a small box speaker with a pretty midrange. Every two way has its breaking point, if not there would not be 10 models in front of the Magico Mini.Kef was perfectly comfortab... | |
| KEF LS50 Sorry Bob, did not realize I was fraternizing with the enemy:)!!So this clear (and not to turn this into a Harbeth thread) but IMO they make the most musical speakers I have owned. The 40.1 is a marvel and worth full retail. I could go on and on a... | |
| KEF LS50 Yes Taters that would be what I would say, at least based on my experience with the Harbeth sound which I love and have quite a bit of experience with.As for the desktop, I have no doubt they would be great as nearfield monitors, I think they were... | |
| advice on amp - $3,500 maximum budget Lets just say the Marantz has been somewhat of a revelation for me. I should preface by saying that transistors have not had much of a place in my system, at any level, for a long time. I still feel quite strongly that is far easier assembling a m... | |
| advice on amp - $3,500 maximum budget Mcondon,i had the Ayre V5xe (very good) and a pair of Rowland 501 monos (which I thought were awful) on loan for two weeks awaiting my Ma9s2 (still waiting) and I would hands down take the Marantz sm11-s1 over both of them despite the price differ... |
