| Ayre AX7e MP vs ARC CD3 mk2 I just went from a ARC CD3 mk II to the Ayre C-5 XE mp. The most immediate difference is greater detail retrieval with Ayre and more weight with the lower frequencies. The ARC had slightly better dynamics and was more engaging when played at high ... | |
| Need a solution desperately Its the umbilical cords between the two units of the C500. That was the problem! | |
| Mcintosh C-2300 first impressions Miner42, you mention in your post that the C500 is close the C2300 in sonics. I was wondering if you could elaborate on that. I am considering a C500 to mate with my MC402 power. I currently have a BAT VK-31Se pre and figured that the c2300 would ... | |
| Which purist interconnect?? I have recently switched from Cardas Golden Cross to PAD Venustas. Will have to get back to you on the results as they have not arrived. The Venustas would seem to be the best choice in your price range. | |
| mcintosh and b.a.t. I've been using a BAT VK-31SE tubed pre with a Mac MC402 for the past 3 years with excellent results. As Blindjim mentioned, make sure you use balanced ICs with any BAT electronics | |
| mcintosh c2200 vs 2300 - sonic differences Thanks for the replies. When the BAT pre is not in use, I put it on standby (I believe the instructions state that this is correct usage for the unit). However, I only turn the unit off if I'm away for several days.Theo, I have always been interes... | |
| Do you plan to buy The Beatles CD remasters? Just pre-ordered the stereo (17 discs) AND mono (13 discs) boxed sets as I couldn't be certain which would sound superior | |
| CDP / DAC Advice required Audio Research CD3 MKII for around $3k used The finest audio component I have ever owned | |
| What is the affect of cd player? My cd player was the latest change to my system. The changes were as dramatic as any other upgrades I have made in the course of my system building. | |
| Synergy between AR Ref 3 and Pass X amps Similarly, I was wondering how an ARC Ref 3 (output impedence 600 ohms balanced) would match with a Mac MC402 (input impedance 20,000 ohms balanced). But I imagine I would encounter similar difficulties as Tvad. I am currently using a BAT VK-31 SE... | |
| The Next CD Player Recommendation Hi YuThe CD3 doesnt have tubes of any kind. The higher models such as the CD7 (paired 6H30) and CD8 (single 6550C) are tubed players. | |
| The Next CD Player Recommendation My previous set-up included a Stello CDT 200 Transport with an Electrocompaniet ECD-1 DAC. Prior to that I was using a Arcam Alpha 7SE transport with a Musical Fidelity A324 DAC. In sum, my previous players were 2 chasis units that were not compar... | |
| The Next CD Player Recommendation I suppose I'm still in the honeymoon phase with my current CD player (arrived 5 days ago), but thus far, I feel as though the Audio Research CD3 MKII is the finest audio component I have ever owned. I can't see you being disappointed with the ARC ... | |

| Electrocompaniet ECD-1 or Audio Logic 24MXL I have had the ECD-1 in my system for approximately 2 years. My previous DAC was a Musical Fidelity A324. My initial impressions was that the Electrocompaniet was slightly more forward and detailed than the MF but the differences were not as signi... |
