Look at aci saphire xls. I had the IIIs and they are beautiful sounding. Youll need a sub for full effect, but get a force or titan and your still under the 2500 mark. k.s.

Ive had 2 silver dragons fail on me. Drew was kind enough to send me his pair to listen to, but unfortunately that failed as well. On the 650s, I found that the silver dragon was the best sounding. The equinox was lacking weight, the blue dragon was nice but lacking sparkle(I mean in...

Yes, Im kinda surprised at bhd12s assesment of the cary. I havent yet heard a better headphone amp. This includes supras, MOH's (with the 04 module very damn good though...) preheads, hr-2s, etc.. etc.. they were all found lacking compared to the cary 300 sei I owned. That amp was truely...

If its dynamics, and PRAT you are looking for, along with strong bass response, Id definately check out the Ikemi. That was my favorite cdp out of any Ive owned including an scd-1, sacd mods 555es, and(at least in the high end catagories, well for your average joe high end....)a metronome cv-2...

Thanks a bunch Todd! Ill finally be able to listen to my 650s again without worring about this or that shorting out every 5 seconds.... thank you, k.s.

Thanks a bunch Todd. Did you get my email by the way? I asked if you would add a grado adaptor (1/4 to 1/8)on to the order. Thanks again, cant wait for the cable, k.s.

Hi Todd. Just wondering if the equinox came in yet. Im good for funds(at least right now ). Thanks, k.s.

Thanks Todd! k.s.

Hey Todd, Any clue on when the equinox will be a comin in? Thanks, k.s.

Id say go for a used titan or quake sub from aci. Very musical and tight subs. k.s.

I agree with mjg. Cary 300 sei is THE amp(along with r10s), but a senn 650 with your pick of aftermarket cable will be damn good too. More than enough ta hold ya over... Im still kicking myself for getting rid of those two... dear Lord what was I thinking.... k.s.

Im using a cheapy sony dvd player with a corda prehead and the silver dragon cables and it has great bass. If you want more, you might want to try another cable though. Have you heard the resolution differences as well? The olbach probably gave much less resolution in the lower bass area. When...

Spwal, I looked for that unit per your reviews for 2-3 weeks and could not locate one.. It was the first one I looked for but could never find it..... Ill look for one again, just to be sure....I dont think my unit shiped yet... k.s.

so many choices......... thanks guys! k.s.

so many choices......... thanks guys, k.s.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I purchased a d-ne10 from etronics. Should be decent. Whats a good line out cable? Moon-audio stuff the best? Thier senn replacement cables seem to be top tier....

hey thats why im posting! So, a dne10, dej2000 or dne900 would give about the same sound quality is what you are getting at? Once again, I dont know too much about these. I figure MAYBE that the marantz one would be the one to beat(there is a slightly cheaper one for 350, and I think the more...

Yes I did notice the many features, which I do indeed have no use for. But if the sound quality is better, than so be it. thank you for the reply! any one else? k.s.

Is this what you guys are talking about? http://www.audiogear.com/cgi-bin/sho...&preadd=action Im looking for a pcdp for mostly sound quality, I dont plan on listening on a bus or the like. I know **** about portable audio. Something readily available as I only have about 3 weeks before I...

yeah get the 10kM unplugged. That one is audiophile quality both recording and performance. excellent.... k.s.

I like the 1028 but its best combined with another, wider freq ranged(sounding at least) op amp to balance it out. It can be a little rolled off at the extremes if used by itself(not a problem with my cdp, but with the hr-2 a problem). I too was disapointed with the bb627. It was muffled...

Interesting. I thought the MOHR I just returned was damn excellent, but Id give a slight nod to the prehead. Perhaps those transformers and attenuators make the difference. But at 3 times the cost I think id get more gains buying a new source...(which Im gonna have to do anyway since Im...
