| Is DEQX a game changer? Fyi folks ... the DEQX rep scheduled the DEQX tech guy in Colorado (Larry) to be on call to take the calibrations to the final step. The rep is bringing a mic and all of the other paraphernalia that will be needed to calibrate my system for time c... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Ozzy ... the DEQX rep is coming to my house on Monday to do a home audition. Let's hold judgment until I report back. I am on the fence right now. As to self-calibration ... from what little I understand about the device, I think it is a near impo... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Unsound and Ptss ... the DEQX demo is scheduled for Monday the 15th. Holding judgment until then. @Unsound ... you raise a fair comment and I will ask the rep on Monday about post sale service.@Ptss ... what choice does he or I have. It's the same... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Thanks Forrestc ... still trying to drag the DEQX rep out to my house. Maybe he's using a strategy of sales foreplay. Dunno. Hopefully this week.Btw, your point that "Kim states that with the DEQX, speaker designers should focus on producing the l... | |
| Anti-skating- test records vs. ears I have a similar set-up as Stan (Stringreen) -- a VPI Classic 3 tone arm. My cartridge is a Lyra Kleos, which is a .5 mV MC cartridge. I surmise that Stan is drinking the VPI Kool-Aid, which is no AS is best. IME, I can't really hear the differenc... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? @Bombaywalla, not idle talk re romex. Summer has been very busy time. Also, trying to get the DEQX guys to get their act together has been a major PITA. The US rep said after Labor Day. The reasons for the delays are not worth repeating ... too bo... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Gotta tell ya. Getting the DEQX audition arranged up has been a frustrating PITA. I'll be generous and attribute it to the summer time and vacations. But if it's half as good as it's hyped, it is an important tweak that serious audiophiles should ... | |
| ARC Ref CD-8 Compared to ARC Ref CD-9 or CD-6?? Jafant ... What you say doesn't surprise me. I think except for a few circuit changes that relate to the redbook CD playback functionality, the CD-8 and CD-9 very well could be closely related sonically. As an aside, I picked up a few CD versions ... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? @Bob -- just wait until I home audition the DEQX. As seems to be the case with a great many audio issues, there is a divergence of opinion. Yes ... on the hand, the time coherence opponents say that most people can't tell the difference between a ... | |
| Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 Pakwong ... I still think the Ref 150 is a marginally powered amp for your Maggies. But the most recent posts which speak to the Ref 150 using balanced inputs is extremely important. I cannot overstate how critical it is that you use a linestage/p... | |
| ARC Ref CD-8 Compared to ARC Ref CD-9 or CD-6?? Thanks Jafant ... still thinking about dipping a toe into computer/digital world, but so far, I'm holding with redbook CDs and vinyl for source.So ... have you had the chance to compare just the redbook CD function of the CD-8 and CD-9. Is there m... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? I've been trying to arrange a DEQX home audition. Came close to setting something up tomorrow, but vacation schedules got in the way. Hopefully, soon after Labor Day.Bob, if you read through the Sloped Baffle thread, you might get a better sense o... | |
| Hi Fi House liquidation Trelja, I gather you live close to the Lafayette Hills section of the Philly burbs. I lived in the area for many years ... a long time ago. It's close to the Valley Green part of the Philly Fairmont Park. I share your sentiments about the demise o... | |
