    Re: EMM Labs DA2

    Mike,

    I apologize you were offended. And this will be my last post here. I did price out my system thru you, but in the end your pricing - your trade-in values - were less than what other dealers...

    Re: EMM Labs DA2

    We compared a fully loaded Select II to the EMM DA2V2. In our system, the EMM sounded better to us as it was more musical, sounded more like live music to us. A venue-like experience, better sound...

    I disagree with part of the article (one sentence) that stated that Tidal edged out Qobuz. As Nikhil above stated, "Tidal is noticeably inferior in sound quality. Not even close."

    Also this is a review of the N30 (change to English on upper right side).

    One reviewer - it may be this one - who owned the W20SE went ahead and bought the N30.

    Re: Looking for new amps Classe / Gryphon

    No I didn’t. You were probably just reading too fast, as I sometimes do as well. I stated in post 24:

    Re: Looking for new amps Classe / Gryphon

    Of course, I was stating an opinion. That’s what we do on forums. And I didn’t suggest spending 40k on speakers. Reread my post (#8) I suggested Magico A5s which cost $24,800.

    That must be some amazing sound. Unfortunately in N Florida it is normally rather hot and I’m afraid the XAs would run me out of the house. I pretty much need to stick with A/B amps.

    Re: Magico A5 Review

    Bud I wish I had your S5 MkIIs instead of my A3s. The S3 MkIIs sounded great and put my A3s to shame. I can only think about the music quailty that must come from the S5 MkIIs.

    jichen,

    Welcome to the forum. How are you liking the X600.8s?

    I own the 260.8s and was wondering about the heat that comes from the 600s. I get 34 watts of Class A while you are getting 50...

    This seems to be an old post that has been resurrected, but I own Pass 260.8s and use an XP-22 Pre. I think the synergy is awesome. It's a tube-like sound. Of course other solid state PREs go with...
