| Thoughts on Egglestonworks Andra II Audioblazer...I agree with Bob above. It takes a lot of power to drive the Andras happily, to their fullest capabilities. 24 watts may drive the tops if you bi-amp, but there's no way the SET amp will drive and control the bass drivers. BTW, the A... | |
| Playing CDRs on a Sony SCD-777ES If your 777es is anything like my 9000es (I would venture to guess "yes"), then I may have a solution for you. I also thought that my 9000es would not play CD-Rs based on the research that I've done on the threads here and elsewhere.It turns out (... | |
| How to clean BAT CDP? If memory serves me right, from when I used to own the BAT player....Pick a long duration CD and insert in the player. Cue it up to play the last cut. While playing, hit the stand-by button, then turn it off. This will allow the laser head to be v... | |
| Anybody hear the Epiphany Audio 12-12's? Good luck with your new purchase, Steve....look forward to hearing them in your house! | |
| Jackson Browne's new CD Even not being a JB fan, I have taken a huge liking to this CD. Play it just about every day. Well recorded, great music, and some humor to boot....Looking forward to Vol II, which he said he would do if this CD took off.Performance = 4.5 starsRec... | |
| Tube pre-amps with Home Theater bypass... Modwright's SWL 9.0SE...though no phono stage...yet. One third of your price range. | |
| BAT VS VTL anybody compare these amps and preamp VTL 6.5?? Is that a new one or did you mean a VTL 5.5 or 7.5, Pscialli? | |
| How should I ship these babies? Pack them up and put them back on the pallets if you can. Have Bax Global move them for you, but I don't think they pick up from residential addresses. You may need to take them to work with you, or drop them off at Bax near you. | |
| Is There A Moveable Base To Easily Voice Speakers? Use the teflon disks or squares that are sold at Home Depot or any other hardware store. You'd be amazed how easily the speakers or other heavy objects will slide with these things on the bottoms. | |
| Again, recommended CDPs for $2K-$3.5K Oh yes, I forgot...Modwright has a DACT attenuator option which will allow you to run directly to the amp. That is exactly how I'm running at this moment, with great results. | |
| Again, recommended CDPs for $2K-$3.5K Hey Rob, looks like you need tubes in your system. Why not try a Modwright modded 999ES or 9000ES? On redbook, my 999ES easily bettered an Audio Aero DAC (same as the one in the Capitole MKII) that I used to own. Either one of these Modwrights wil... | |
| Parasound Halo JC1 mono amps and Merlin VSM-MX Agreed to all the above. I tried the JC-1s when I had Merlins and it was not a good combination at all. | |
| DCCA power cords... your comments pls. I concur with all the above posts. Tvad and Dolfan are absolutely right about Don of DCCA Audio. I have a unique situation where all my equipment is located on a rack, above a 55" rptv, and to say that positiong his cables is challenging is the un... | |
| Need advice for power cord on PS Audio UPC 200 Fplanner,Here is DCCA's website, although it's a work in progress:DCCA Website.Their Extreme Reference works very well with the McCormack DNA-500, which is what I think you own, and one I've owned for many months this year.Don offers a trial perio... | |
| Do tube dampers improve sound? All I can say is, try it for yourself and see. I have used them on and off in my equipment, and there were occasions where I thought they made a nice improvement in focus and clarity on some tubes, but on other equipment it took the "life" out of ... |
