...And JK@home, your maggies look badass, you have some skills! Our setups are likely to be very similar in the end.
the only weak link is possibly my ERC2 player.
JT you've seen it , remember "so many comments" ?
Totally intrigued by that response though. Your ED's sound as good as servo? The A3s-300's are $300 a piece, shipped, when you buy a pair... but you have to wait 2 months to get them. And JK@home, your maggies look badass, you have some skills! Our setups are likely to be very similar in the end.
JK you are gonna love that Warpspeed, it is everything said about it. Between it and my battery amp, the only weak link is possibly my ERC2 player. Plan on eventually going digital down the line and getting some form of high quality battery powered DAC. But I cannot recommend that Warpspeed strongly enough.
Ideally someone will step forward with an OB calculator of some sort I can use to make my Brahma's work, but nobody has one, so that is a bit daunting.
No, it's a great, great player. And guys who have heard everything, like TONEPUB, like the Emotiva gear. Great SQ, especially for what you pay. No I really love it. Weak link because it's not computer audio, I guess, and just because I think my Warpspeed and modded Virtue amp on batts requires would do great with an even higher quality source than cd. That's all. No, as a player, there's not a whole lot to dislike, if anything. Segemented power supplies, high quality parts, fully balanced if you want to use them, nice layered, super detailed sound. Eventually might want to move to a Bolder modded Touch. Now onto the subs, that's encouraging.. What do you think of the A3s-250?? Really interested in that one. I could have 4 sealed 10's shipped for $1200 straight up, and the extension is supposedly to 20hz, which is plenty for me. Alex actually owes me a small discount as well, so I could get a better deal. What concerns me with this sub: Not sure which driver they use. If it's that little stamped frame thing, not sure how much I want it. They say it's a K series but the front of the sub, in the picture, looks just like their lowest level driver. Unline the A5 like you have, $200 more, which has that high quality 12 with a real driver frame and a real magnet. Then again, the A3s goes to 20hz, and it's sealed, so maybe it doesn't matter. Then again, I may go ahead and do the A5 like you have, but it had better be $200 better, especially versus 4 A3s-250's. Also, I read there were some quality control issues with eD subs in the recent past. I read the forum a bit. Still interested, if you say they sound even better than Rythmik... and you are not the only person who's said the whole servo thing is overblown and you don't necessarily need servo motors to get the tightest sound.. FYI, I had the XDA-1 DAC and the SQ comparison between it and the ERC2 as a standalone is they sound identical. I was able to sell my XDA-1 last month for a great price and am holding off on DAC's as I want to finish strong there and get a battery powered monster down the line. Emotiva has excellent resale btw. I sold my XDA-1 and my Erc-1 on the 'Gon with little to no effort and for high price.
