Onix Review Part One

[laatsch55]

Ok Hugh. I just looked at that XCD- 50, WOW, How much$$ ??

 

[stuwee]

Looks like a $3,800 list. And a great review from MoJo, http://stereomojo.com/Vaughn%20Cabernet ... review.htm , it deffinitely sounds like something to save up for! stuwee is salivating

How much for just the remote?

 

[Hugh]

Honestly speaking, I put the XCD50 against any other high-end cdp such as MBLs, Wadias,...anytime.

Unfortunately, we already dropped Onix from our products line due to its tainted image so we don't have any spare parts anymore except for what's left in the inventory.

Thanks,

So you would put it up against my Shanling?

[Hugh]

Yes I would, seriously.

Drat, that's a shame, I understand though from a business standpoint, Mark really F'd up the image of anything with his name associated with it. I've talked to dozens of folks about AA, Perpetual Tech, AV123 and Onix, they all say the stuff is great but they want nothing to do with him or his gear. A shame really because that newer Onix stuff isn't any of his right?

I don't have a bad thing to say about him personally.

 

[Hugh]

The news is easily accessible on the net if one cares to know more.

Onix has never been his.

It's truly a shame since I personally love Onix's when it comes to SS.
I have the XCD50 & XIA160 as a second 2ch setup at home.

Onix is built in the UK or mine was anyway. Or it says it was on the tag. I know Marks stuff was a rebadge.

Then it truly is a serious CDP!!

 

[laatsch55]

Hugh, do you happen to have spare parts for the CD1 and CD3??

 

[Hugh]

No we don't.

However, I'm going to China next month and if you can come up with a list, I'll see what I can do.

No promise though but I'll try my best.

Catch you guys when I come back.

That's saying alot right there, MBL is very highly regarded.
