| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! From the Chord website:A comprehensive suite of high-performance connectivity is offered and the Blu MkII also features a USB digital input, meaning that it can also be used a standalone high-performance upsampler, for use with other digital sources. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Adding the Chord Blu Mk.2 upscaler to your Chord Dave will take it to a whole new level. It is not even close, you have a whole new source with the Dave/Blu Mk.2, according to several reports.Even the Hugo2/Blu Mk.2 outperforms easily the Dave alo... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I heard recently Monitor Audio PL 500 with a whole set of electronics of Simaudio, pre 740P, power 860A, cd-drive 260D, Dac's neo 380 + 780 DSD Mind.While it was a very smooth presentation without any harshness, it was lacking in almost every othe... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Try back again the Monitor Audio PL500 with the ARC Ref 10 and the Pass Labs. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! whitecamaross,Here Krell mono power and ARC pre are not at all bright sounding with my Monitor Audio PL500, so as said before everything is system dependent.Nevertheless I am going to listen next weekend to the Simaudio Moon 860A power and 740P pr... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! My dealer and the importer of Monitor Audio here are not horrible at all in their marketing or otherwise, in fact they are very straightforward and extremely accommodating with everything. This including a fully free trial of the PL500 at my own h... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Boulder 2060 vs Luxman? I bet you never will listen to Luxman again. | |
| DCS Vivaldi stacks vs Esoteric Grandioso G1, D1, P1 stacks Well, Ivan "Masterlu" at Audioafficionado said that the Esoteric K1 was better than the D-02X, and surely also better than the K01X.Also have read about a direct comparison in another system that the K1 is in another league against the K01X and th... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Whitecamaross,Indeed the Luxman amps are receiving very good revieuws all over. What they do good they do extremely good.I did not heard the separates 900u, but instead one of the newer big integrates, I think it was one of the 590 models.While it... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Whitecamaross,I have already a very decent and enjoyable low end at lower volumes, so even at moderate low levels it's really fun to experience the power and control. Regardless of volume, the amount of bass here is in the same proportion to the ... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Whitecamaross!Listening at 92 db average for hours can cause severe ear-damage and even permanent hearing impairment.I listen normally to my PL500 II at a far more moderate level at around 55-60 db, although it is fun to crank up the volume someti... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Whitecamaross, thanks again.It’s my understanding that Audio Research works well with a lot of other brands, as in my own setup. One of the exceptions is ARC with McIntosh, frequently mentioned so.Indeed trying Ref 6 with GS150 on the PL500 mk2 I ... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! whitecamaross, thanks.Now I like to hear the Luxman 900u preamp, although this is nearly impossible in my own setup.Do you have any thoughts about the Mark Levinson no 52 preamp compared to ARC Ref 6 or Luxman 900u.Keep going with your enjoyable a... |
