| THE NEW DCS APEX DAC VS THE PREVIOUS ROSSINI the big question is how much to upgrade the Rossini to Apex? I've poked around a little and they don't seem to want to answer this question just say to contact your dealer. I'm gonna guess 5K. You kind of lost me when you said the Apex sounded ... | |
| rega P8 Ania pro setup questions I bought a new P8 when they were first released by Rega. I have thoroughly enjoyed it, using a Hana SL cartridge Did you have to do anything special in regards to the VTA with the Hana cart vs the Rega cart? I have a Hana ML here in the box a... | |
| rega P8 Ania pro setup questions I think it could be your final table. It's sounding better and better to me. I am tempted to upgrade to the Planar 10 and top cartridge and call it a day. The thing I like the best is that it's so quick and easy to use. I don't do a thing, don'... | |
| Fist Watt F6 vs Pass Labs XA 25 I have used the F6 with only Klipsch. The forte III, Cornwall IV and vintage la scala. I like it best with La Scala, those are the most efficient of the bunch and the F6 has plenty of power for those speakers. I feel like it's not the most balls... | |
| Rogue RP-1 or Schiit Freya The Freya + is a really nice sounding preamp for the money and can be made a lot better sounding with better tubes. I am quite impressed with it. I also have the Benchmark LA4 which is also good a bit more of a cool and open sound. I would like... | |
| Phono cables I have a luxman integrated and tried running a regular interconnect with a separate ground wire I made. It was almost 8' long which I'm not sure might be pushing it. It was from the output of a technics SL1100 table. I was getting the most insa... | |
| rega P8 Ania pro setup questions Howard, I have to say I was quite unimpressed by the Planar 8 compared to my VPI classic 3 with Ortofon Cadenza Black. I played for a while in my main system then put in in my office system. Still unimpressed in the office and with the shor... | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 I have found I like the sound of the spdif output vs AES with the same cable (audioquest diamond) on each into my DCS Rossini DAC. I also spent some time comparing the Audio Envy digital spdif cable to the audioquest diamond and was hoping the ch... | |
| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy Personally I would try a tube amp. I have the 30.8 and the First Watt J2 and F6 and have compared many other solid state amps to my Decware Zen triode as well as the Feliks Arioso 300B amp. I always hear what I would call grain from the solid st... | |
| Fist Watt F6 vs Pass Labs XA 25 I don't have the XA 25 but I do have the 30.8, the F6 and the J2. I like them all I think the F6 has the most delicate sound. The 30.8 sounds like it's 3X as powerful as either of the first watts but maybe a little more harshness to the sound bu... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition I think you could put the Schiit Freya + on your list. Quite a bit below your 2500 price range but if you put some nice tubes in it, it really comes to life. I have both the Freya + with CBS Hytron tubes and the Benchmark LA4 and I prefer the so... | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 One slight gripe on the RS2 T is that you can actually hear the transport making noise when playing the disc. I sit sometimes at the computer which is about 5 ft away from the transport and it's actually pretty annoying when you are playing somet... | |
| older CD transport vs newer ones. I ended up getting a Project CD Box RS2 T. It's a nice upgrade over the audiolab. I'm really enjoying the tunes and having been adding to my CD collection daily. Now I need to build some shelves to hold them all. I know this is somehow a touch... | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 organic presentation is a good description. Please do share your findings on the LPS, I will be trying one too but am going to enjoy the ride as it goes for now. | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 I got the RS2 transport and wow it's fantastic. It's a nice step up from the Audiolab 6000. I'm not in love with the build quality or clunkiness of inserting and playing CDs with the puck but I'll take it for the sound. I'm really thrilled. I ... |
