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

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

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'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.

I can't remember the name... but to my memory it is on Marine Drive.... maybe by Cambie? I remember they used to advertise in the Georgia Straight...
