| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @erictal4075 I have the AA CD transport Drive 1. I bought new from Galen Carol at least 15 years ago. It has never had a service or a failure. I love it's substantial feel and heft. At 25 lbs., it's a chunk. And it has always delivered the goo... | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? I must say you have quite the fleet...and all XD's, no less. Had my Duos for 20 years now and they still satisfy. | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? I'm in the stuartk camp. I have an AA transport now and want something similarly chunky and substantial the next go round. I'd be all over a Jay's with the SU CD Pro 8 | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @nonoise My bad. I was looking into this transport (the AA) two or three months ago and I swear they had the Ref II cd drive in the livery of their previous style they've been selling for years. But the entry level Drive 1 sported the new cosme... | |
| How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video) @oldhevymec I find the "assistant" to very closely resemble the image I have in my head of what WC Fields in drag would have looked like. Is this the fate of all heavy tipplers🤗 | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @nonoise The AA transport you posted the pic of is not the Drive II reference (the one that uses the Stream Unlimited CD 8 Pro) but their entry level unit. The Ref Drive II is considerably more substantial (weighs double) and even better looking. | |
| Townshend Audio speaker podiums...three ways to install Okay...was finally able to round up some muscle to help and we had the installation party yesterday after lunch. With one helper it took about three hours to get the job done to my satisfaction once all the requisite fine tuning, futzing about and... | |
| Doesnt resistance mean same as impedance?? @oldhvymec Time to hit the edit button. To reduce BY 1/10th is to reduce by 10% so reducing 100 by 1/10th leaves 90. To reduce TO 1/10th, in the case of 100, would leave you with 10, which is your tendered defintion of decimate. | |
| Townshend Audio speaker podiums...three ways to install @millercarbon ...you have been officially cold cocked by the feather. I Just communicated with John earlier this evening and he may pop up on this thread to reveal his thoughts on the matter. The tips of the spikes would be placed in brass cups wh... | |
| Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good Agree with so many of the above. I'll throw in the Cars S/T. | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 @erictal4075 I recently contacted the good folks at Jay's to tell them I would buy their transport in a heartbeat if they would convert over to the Stream Unlimited CD Pro 8. They responded that no such plans were in the making. Too bad😟 | |
| Best speakers around $130k? @verdantaudio Yeah those those 109db sensitive Avantgarde Trios would be the perfect match for Boulder 2160s😁 | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA @MF... What's "dispication"? Can't seem to find that one in my audiophile thesaurus 😵 | |
| Best speakers around $130k? @noske...Ultimate Reference listed a 6 ohms. I like the fact that 1st order XOs are used thruout. | |
| Vote for Your Top OP'er One Only Please ! atmasphere...because he speaks from a wealth of knowledge (I believe) instead of spewing bile and hearsay. |
