| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Bob. First thread answered on Audiogon and that's what you have to offer?Does that mean you don't believe 711smilin's comments carry any weight? You don't agree? Please feel free to add to the discussion beyond the sarcasm. | |
| A Call To Reason . . . . . Lazarus28, I respect you're opinion of the DV-50, but you have to admit your statement that...anybody's *absolute* assertion that the esoteric dv-50 is 'one-dimensional,' and 'sounds like radio shack,' and 'is bettered in every way' by the modded ... | |

| Tung Sol 6550 vs. GEC/Genelex/Gold Monarch KT88 I tried GE6550a tubes in my VAC amp, and there was not enough difference to warrant the $250 expense. Frankly, I preferred the stock Chinese KT88s...they had more extension and tighter bass. | |
| Best way to ship small value items--US to Canada?? USPS Express Mail, if feasible and cost effective, has been easy and hassle-free. USPS Airmail Post would be my second choice for all the reasons mentioned in the earlier posts: relatively easy, reliable, and reasonable cost. | |
| Review: Marantz Marantz DV-8400 & SA-14 vs. others CD Player Sirjun, there is a thread which asks owners of the SA11 for their impressions of the player. Your comments would be quite valuable in that thread. Marantz SA11 Thread | |
