HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas
It would be interesting to hear from some dealers about this. Also, I don't know that there is another side to this story. Alan told Ernie he would do the upgrade and did not ask about serial numbers or anything else. Ernie went out of his way to ... 
HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas
How many potential customers has EC lost because of a bad short sighted decision by the distributer. This story will be repeated and embellished thousands of times with the conclusion being that you shouldn't buy EC. Imagine what a great story thi... 
how good is sacd1000 on red book
Thank you Sean for a great post. Anyone had the Stan Warren mod done to the player?

I have listened extensively to the Marantz SA-14 and I understand they are very similar. Frankly, it was an impulse buy. I thought I might have it modified or maybe I will just sell it, it is unopened. 
Whats up with Merlin?
Bobby is the best! I love both the VSMM's and TSMM's. You can find lots of reviews and a ton of happy Merlin owners. 
any tried Still Points?
I have receved the points and have been using them for the past couple of days after posting this question. I do find that they help with clarity focus and seem to help me hear more in to the music. Thanks 
New Eva Cassidy - "Imagine"
Blues Alley is still my favorite but this is a good disc. It is somewhat raw, unproduced, but that is fine with me. Nothing to get in the way of that magic voice. 
Review: Plinius 8200 Amplifier
My experience was about the same. I loved some things about the 8200 but the boomboomboom drove me crazy after a while. I think I actually like the 8100 better. 
Which of these would you choose for your system
The Talons are front ported and the Merlins are a sealed box. 
Musical Fidelity A324 DAC as good as Tellig says?
I had a dealer tell me it was good but nothing out of the ordinary for the price. I know they have also had some reliability problems with the unit. I have been told the Bel Canto DAC-2 is better but everything comes down to listening in your system. 
SACD or MF A3 24 DAC?
How does the ns500 sound withredbook discs? Sacd is nice but so many people have tons of CDs. 
What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE???
A company called Ultech made a cd player for $1000 that was the best value for dollar audio product I had ever heard. The technology has changed significantly and time has moved on but at that time nothing else in the price range could touch it. 
new dacs
Does anyone know of any online reviews of BC DAC-2 or MF A3-24? 
Sonic Frontiers Dying?
I heard they are going to have new HT gear and no tube stuff. 
My New Bel Canto DAC 2
I loved the 1.1 and want to hear the new DAC-2 along with the new Musical Fidelity A3-24. They are $100 apart and I will probably end up with one or the other. Anyone had a chance to hear both dacs? I would appreciate any thoghts you would have. T...
