Which Zapco's were they, Refference, Competition? Looking forward to hearing a set, but I dont think there is a distro in Canada yet... :(

I think John meant the new component set from Zapco... they are built by ESB from Italy.

ESB, now there is a name I haven't seen in a looooong time. I was going to post a question in the Go Fish thread about ESB. I came across an ad from them in a 10-year old Car Audio. They had the funky looking mid and tweet on a single baffle shaped like the number 8 and all their stuff was white I recall.

John, but what was it that you thought sounded so clean? The head unit? The processor? The components? The amp powering them? The RCAs? The speaker wire? I would say the system itself sounded clean but to zero-in on one piece of a multi-piece system unless doing a direct comparison swap of 1 of those items is next to impossible. Just nit-picking though :D

the system was clean sounding => there was very little detail smearing or obvious tonal deviation from the software ... I do not think they used esoteric wire (upscale wire maybe)... Zapco amps and comp set, the install was clean too it could have passed for a stock installation option (except for the 8" W7). The equipment swap would be the scientific way to evaluate each piece of the pie :D

VERY good detail from top to bottom

Actually..... I was more interested to hear just the two channel portion of the DVD-A (24 bit res audio) then the 5.1 etc. That way I could compare to the 16 bit CDs. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You may have to wait till next week, Joe. I just handed over the A-pillars to Timmy. He's gonna put the dome mids and tweets in the A-pillar. There goes the idea of doing everything myself. Like I said before in previous posts, my install skills are very limited. Better to have a pro work on it.

Now that I have a DVD-Audio player, I need some software. I heard there is a shop in Vancouver that sells tonnes of DVD-Audio. I'm heading into Vancouver tomorrow, so if any of you know the name of this store, please let me know ASAP.

thanks in advance................

i bought a bunch at futtre shop, they had quite a good selection

I've been to A&B Sound, Future Shop, Best Buy, LD, etc. I heard this shop in Vancouver was like the mother of all DVD-Audio shops. OK, maybe exaggerating a bit. Thanks anyway.
