| Same CD/Album or Music ,In cable comparison, Newbee, is this the Depth of Image CD you mentioned in your post above? | |
| Same CD/Album or Music ,In cable comparison, OK, I simply said that I think it's a valid point to have three CDs that we can agree on that would provide a musical basis by which to compare and analyze gear. I mean, if someone can identify a section of a song, "Hey, can you hear the phlegm in... | |
| Same CD/Album or Music ,In cable comparison, Sorry, Creege, I deleted my post to this thread. I decided I don't have hip waders high enough to safely allow passage through the potential quagmire ahead...Good idea though. | |
| Transport for EMM Labs DCC2 Boy, if I were in your shoes, I'd be seriously considering an EMM Philips SACD1000. There have been a half dozen or so for sale over the past few months at very reasonable prices considering what they cost new, and the fact they're optimized for u... | |
| Freezer Cryoed Cables... Yeah, a bad one. | |
| Triode vs. Pentode Thanks everyone for your input. I hear most everything that's been mentioned, especially the extra punch of the pentode mode. Also, Ecclectique, you may be correct regarding speaker sensitivity. My VR4 HSEs are 89db.In my system, the qualities of ... | |
| Triode vs. Pentode Thanks for your thoughts, Trelja. I'm quite satisfied with the way the system sounds with the VAC in pentode mode, but I was/am curious to hear what triode could bring to the party. I think I'm going to stay put with my equipment at this stage. If... | |
| reactions to SMILE? An interesting anecdote in the Winter 2004 issue of Forbes' ASAP mentioned that Brian Wilson recorded the intruments and harmonies at Hollywood's Sunset Sound Studio One where he used the studio's original "tube" console. | |

| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Avguru, you jump to conclusions when you state: I know you are sitting back smugly waiting for me to eat crow... This couldn't be further from the truth. I was simply trying to offer you an option, at your request, while also including my experien... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Um...I'm going to humbly point again to the Exemplar Denon 2900 (or 3910), which is in the price range of the DV-50 (actually $2000 less for the 2900), and has redbook playback that compared extremely favorably to the Reimyo CDP-777 in the 6moons ... | |
| Triode vs. Pentode VAC Phi 110/110. KT88 tubes. | |
| Triode vs. Pentode Newbee, thus far I would concur with the recessed soundstage and reduced dynamics. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Avguru, just FYI, here's a link to the 6Moons Exemplar Denon 2900 review, where the reviewer compared the redbook performance of the Exemplar Denon 2900 to the Reimyo CDP-777, which is considered by many to be the best redbook player made today. T... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Avguru and 711smilin, I, for one, hope you two get together to A/B the Exemplar and/or APL Denon 2900 and the DV50. I think it would be very interesting to read your individual comments about this comparison. Please keep us posted. |
