| How does Yamaha CD S2000 reproduce super audio? Niodari,I haven't heard the cd-s2000, but having recently taken possession of the newer cd-s2100. My understanding is that the 2100 is closer in relation to the top of the line cd-s3000 than the earlier 2000. I can tell you that I can hear a disti... | |
| Jolida Fusion DAC/transport: opinions or other DAC/transport alternatives? Thanks for the additional input runner. I think I would have been happy with the Jolida Fusion and did have some great coorespondance with one of their dealers. I will seek a demo of this unit in the near future to satisfy my "what if" curiosity.F... | |
| Jolida Fusion DAC/transport: opinions or other DAC/transport alternatives? OEM-Wheels,Thanks for the heads up on the PrimaLuna. I would have certainly made an offer on that piece had I not already ordered the Yamaha unit. Timing is everything I suppose. Grrrr. | |
| Jolida Fusion DAC/transport: opinions or other DAC/transport alternatives? I appreciate the input guys and realize the "right" thing to do is go with a separate outboard DAC, but have decided to take chance on the Yamaha CD-S2100 which will add SACD capability to my system. I still have a stack of SACDs around from my ti... | |
| Jolida Fusion DAC/transport: opinions or other DAC/transport alternatives? thanks for the input so far guys. Mb1audio, it's not that I'm trying to fix something in my system with the possible addition of a tubed source, as much as avoid adding a component described as cold, thin, analytical, or providing hyper-detail. I'... | |
| Advice for Speakers to mate with McCormack DNA .5 I had a DNA 0.5 for a period of time and it was a fantastic match (also fitting all your requirements) with the Gemme Audio Tanto V2. I no longer have that pair of speakers but really wish I had kept them. Super wide sound stage, excellent freque... | |
| Mellow speakers The 104.2 is a mighty fine speaker even by today's standards. The connecting rod serves to couple the internal woofers so they work in unison. There is a lot of support and spare parts available for these drivers so I wouldn't let age dissuade you... | |
| hsu uls-15 mark ii vs Velodyne Optimum 10 Bot,I have a pair of HSU ULS-15 (1st generation). I can tell you they do not lack for power in my 14'x 36' living/dining room which is also open to the rest of the house (kitchen/loft/hallway, cathedral ceiling, etc).I moved up to this pair from a... | |
| Subwoofer hunt I've been using a pair of Hsu ULS-15s for six or seven years now. I leave them powered up 24/7 and have not experienced any reliabilty issues. The standby mode is not sensitive enough for the levels I listen at, so they don't "auto-on" unless leve... | |
| Upsetting story looking for a solution Sorry to hear about your predicament. If I've learned anything from speaker listings here on Audiogon, it's that dented/poked tweeters have no negative effect on the sound and shouldn't keep you from listing them at what a non damaged pair would g... | |
| Affordable amp suggestions to go with DALI-Zensor 1 speakers I can heartily recommend the yamaha m4 in that price range. This (semi) vintage amp sounds better than it has a right to in this price category. It looks like run of the mill, black box garbage, but sounds anything but, so don't be deceived by thi... | |
| Subwoofers I am looking at theSVS subs does aanybody have experience with them? Zardozmike, I used to have a pair of SVS SB12 (smallish, sealed 12"). They were a fantastic pair for music but I felt they did not fill out the lower octaves in my room (large... | |
| Recommendation for Integrated Amp with Tone Controls Is used gear an option?A restored "vintage" piece might be your best bang for the buck. The Sansui Integrateds seem to have a loyal following, and could be found within your budget. Accuphase and McIntosh gear of the same vintage might be a little... | |
| Aragon 8008ST needs work and I'm hoping to find a good repair shop in the Boston MA area I can recommend two NY shops if you’re willing to travel south of Albany. I believe both would be a shorter drive than Boston. I’ve been very impressed with Hudson Valley Hi-Fi in Florida, NY (talk to Mike). They completely restored a vintage Mara... | |
