| Marantz SA8260 Filter Switch on Rear Panel I owned it's big brother, a Marantz SA14 which had a similar switch. The SA14 sounded much better in the custom setting. I used several amps and 2 different speakers with no problems. If I had your system I would try it, but that is of course your... | |
| Just ordered the Jungson 88D Luxury Edition. dracul1, If you order the Jungson you won't get burned, it's outstanding! Yes, I have listened to both the Jungson and DK extensively, for many hours in the same system. I have a friend who has both and he and I both easily prefer the DK. Dealers ... | |
| Just ordered the Jungson 88D Luxury Edition. This really is a great sounding amp, and a tremendous value. Bound For Sound reviewed the amp several months ago and recommended it highly. I passed because of warranty issues, but the sound is spectacular. I believe it's a real stretch to say it ... | |
| Berning ZH270 - Wiring Upgrade Art, Do you want your First Sound back? | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 How about the Marantz 8260? Has anybody heard a TRL mod of that player? I hear the 8260 is a great value, but I wonder if it would mod as well as the SA14. | |
| Jungson or DK Design: good with Quad 989's? I haven't heard your speakers, but I have heard both integrateds. Both are excellent! The Jungson may be the best value going at $1500, but the DK, which is twice the price, is clearly better. It's clearer, more dynamic, and it does have that tube... | |
| New journey - Samsung HD841 Universal Player Bob, Have you tried a different clock in the player? Some say this makes a huge difference and puts this player in the big leagues. I would appreciate any thoughts you have.It's easy to get caught up in the hype, but it's impossible to know how go... | |
| New journey - Samsung HD841 Universal Player Sean, I agree with you about the Panasonic players. I have a Panasonic DVD player that cost me $79 and it's unbelievable! I've been slow to pull the trigger on the Samsung/Toshiba mod because I can't imagine that it can be a lot better. I would be... | |
| New journey - Samsung HD841 Universal Player Trelja, Thanks for the post. I've heard some remarkable things about this modded player. I have an Exemplar 3910, but am thinking about the Samsung or the Toshiba SD4960 for my second system. Where to get the player modded is a difficult choice, b... | |
| Calling Merlin upgraders I have the VSM-ms now, and am interested in hearing from owners of the VSM-x. There was a huge improvement from the SE's to the M's, and I'm sure the upgrade from the M's to the X is also significant, but it would be great to get some real world f... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? Good advice from several people on this thread. Forget it! You will never change his mind, but mor than that, he's having too much fun yanking your chain. Arguing just encourages him.I don't try to explain why a cd player might be worth $3000 to p... | |
| DK Design VS-1 versus 300b sound Could we turn down the hostility? It's fine if you love it or hate it, but why not show a little respect to other people on the thread. I would hate for things to get to the point where somebody who wanted to learn something was afraid to ask a qu... | |
| Best Floorstander Under 10K? It's hard to know what to say about lrsky's speakers. You won't believe how good an $1800 speaker can be until you hear it. It is an absolute imaging champ, and it has tons of textures and a life like presentation that is difficult to imagine. The... | |
| How long does cable technology take to 'turn'? Do we short change ourselves when we don't evaluate cables as carefully as we do components? In high end audio we should probably throw out our preconceived notions on a regular basis. Yesterdays best may be todays average, and it's very easy to l... | |
| My Journey to Digital Nirvana Part 1 711, I'm not doubting your experience. Like many other audiogoners, I really appreciate your thoughtful approach to finding the best product for you. The APL sounds like one awesome player, and I would love to hear it!I wanted to say a good word f... |
