| What is best center speaker? Totem Mani-2- used 5 of them in an HT system driven by Theta Dreadnaught (400 wpc into 4 ohms)- interal dual isobarik woofers- could take whatever I threw at it... | |
| Is this a deal or what .... Tireguy- yes, the Emm Labs is the new thing and probably excellent considering the technology advance- it sounds enticing, however out of my league $$$, as Jtinn has quoted me full list @ $10k, and that's just for the dac! He wants another $5k for... | |
| Is this a deal or what .... Tireguy- why the sale of the Cap, and what have you moved to?Sorlowski- Jtinn is right re: the digital stuff- I have a Spectral transport (uses similar VRDS clamping technology to Wadia), and use an Audio Note Dac. My philosophy is to get a transp... | |
| Choose between CD to power amp or passive pre ? UncleJeff- agreed- not necessary with the Cap- I owned the Cap for a couple o' years and drove it straight in with good results. | |
| Halo JC-1, Part 2 These sound cool- I wonder how they would compare to the big Sim Audio W-10 monoblocks... | |
| Coincident Total Victory owners I can't comment on the Mahler's- I don't believe we have a Canadian dealer for them in this part of Ontario.Re: placement for the TV's, you could e-mail Israel Blume (iblume@coincidentspeaker.com) as to the ramifications of various placement ideas... | |
| Has anyone tried this? I run Direct tv toslink digital out to a GW Labs digital converter, then to Audio Note 3.1 balanced dac. Results were startingly good, only problem was the dolby digital stations don't seem to come through properly. | |
| Choose between CD to power amp or passive pre ? agreed on the Aleph L- resolution was very good, but yes, a dry quality I couldn't get over- have not heard the P- that might be the ticket... | |
| Bent Silver TX102 compared to Placette RVC I had to give the Bent a pass (although John the Bent guy is great to deal with)- not near the band-width pass-through of the Audion- perhaps Placette better? Would be very curious to hear the Silver Rock as well... | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize just did the Pepsi challenge (part 1)- Ella F trimed vs untrimmed. I think trimed was (very slightly) better, but too close to call at this point. Part 2 will come when the new preamp gets here- this temporary passive thingie I'm using isn't helpi... | |
| Review: WAVAC MD-300B Tube amp intersting re: the 'weight' thing. I have found the same benefit on the digital front with my Audio Note 3.1 Balanced dac (also transformer coupled)- I am now addicted to the 'weightiness' of the sound- fantastic- organic, and real!By the way- wha... | |
| Personal amp evolution I have to update my previous post! Now using ASL 1009 845-based 60 watt monos w mods by Israel Blume of Coincident- I am finding them a great match with his Total Victory speakers... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus vs. Audio Aero Capitole MKII Alred- I'm not at all surprised by that- I have not found a one-box player that has beaten my Spectral/Audio Note trans/dac setup- FAR superior to the Capitole (which I owned for a year and a half) | |
| Vote for the Best Preamp: Audion, Jadis, ARC or CJ Audion all the way... | |
| Coincident Speakers - differences between models Since we are buddies I can say this- you have to ply Israel with excellent food and great conversation- luckily my girlfriend is a great cook and we live only ~ 10 minutes from Izzz's place :) Seriously though, he is a perfectionist, and you will ... |
