Accustic Arts

Dev, now more than ever I stick with what I have said about you. You are anything but a person that prefers to try and inform and help others. You just don't want others to note that you have no clothing on. I cannot help you to see what you are but hopefully others can see that you have need to lash out at others with opinions different from yours for what ever reason.

I would be interested in hearing the Oracle transport, but I must admit that your recommendation taints it as I suspect you favor it because you are the first person to do so. I well remember your begrudingly liking the Accustic Arts because you had not discovered it.

I have no idea what you mean about not being aware of the two AA transports. Long ago I owned the original Drive One and knew well that I was buying the mk II as I knew I was buying the new mk IV Dac. You are so off the wall that half the time I at least have difficulty understanding what you are talking about.

Many do not bother with AA or Audiogon because of the caliber of people who post. I have tried to express my experiences as I think presently we have limited opportunities to audition new products. Everything I have said should always be take with the warning that your experience may differ. The H-Cat is an example. There are at least 40 people out there that love what they are hearing with their P-12R but don't need to deal with the likes of you who has never even bothered to listen to it and instead goes on and on about a dealer who did not respond to you.

I have no idea what "So enjoy as I am" means but please do.

I would be interested in hearing from others that have auditioned the Oracle, especially those that own/owned the AA. Auditioning is hard, it would be nice to get more opinions. As far as I'm concerned the AA is pretty darn good, even with its "undersized" clamp. If any of you do try the dampening/mat, please roport your findings.

Tbg, there must be a language barrier here.

You do need to get your facts straight prior to actually doing a thread, again you are just making things up as you go along but now it's all clear to me why.

I just received an email from someone saying that you are around 67 YEARS old, so I was right. (Ear piece and taping on it)

Can you actually hear properly including hi frequencies? I can get technical but won't.

When is the last time you have had your hearing actually tested?

I was communicating with (Guidocorom) another member and when I read your H-CAT threads noticed you acted similar to him so you have defiantly painted a picture for your self. Anyone can read for themselves and see, I have put a few examples of Tbg being sarcastic to both Guidocorona and Studioray other members so please Tbg.

Guidocorona, LOL. I too would not bother to answer your questions.

Studioray, I think you still are willfully using wrong analogies.

Norm when I referred to : "So enjoy as I am" was not being sarcastic but referring; "Hope you are enjoying your system and music as I am."

So enjoy as I am!

With all do respect, if you want to start a thread called Dev versus Tbg, or something more creative, do so - not that it isn't fun to see the back and forth, but can we get back on topic? How does the AA stack up against the competition? Is there something better? If so, in what way? Are there ways to optimize the perfomance of the AA? Power Cords? Isolation Devices? CD Mats, Clamps, etc.

I agree Pubul57 so I'm done.

The "AA" transport is a great piece, I bought that Marigo mat to actually try with it because it was recommended by another "AA" owner so you might want to pick one up yourself and try. There are a few out there including the one Hotbird mentioned.

I had the transport sitting on a Critical Mass platform and noticed a positive difference, lower floor noise, separation clearer, dynamics and voices more defined. There are a few like SRA that are reasonably priced that should compete.

I am using a Richard Grey Pro 400 for my sources but I do want to try what Teajay had recommended and is using because I have heard from the few using the same with great results.
