| What audio equipment should I take to Kirkuk, Iraq APPLE ipod 40GB That gives you the opportunity to take with you MANY different types and very long time playing music which you might need there?All the best to you and may this terrible thing end soon! | |
| What is today's best CD transport in the 4k-6k? The WADIA 270 | |
| Best Subwoofer avaible? You might check out REVEL. I own the now discontinued Sub 15 and there seems to be nothing that this sub cannot do in my 2 channel system! Just gorgeous! | |
| 110V to 230V power conversions It does depend if it's a power amp or just a CDP. There are transformers around which do the job perfectly. Make sure they measure more than the amp will need in wattage!Good luck! | |
| wadia 850 digital volume control Adding to "Kenscollick": There are several allen head bolts on the underside of the unit. Those which have the same size as the ones in the four corners (remove the sikes first to get access to the bolts, have you?) have to be removed as well. Put... | |
| what happened to cd player build quality ? Quality isn't the main goal anymore in so many fields. Why should high end gear be an exception even if the name "high end" suggests quality all over. I do think that if you're not a "bandwagon person" you might still get high quality in many resp... | |
| Does unequal speaker wire length matter? Please don't try to "get away with it" - as you coined it. Different length might be without consequences in a MidFi system in a bar or so. Maybe you could "equalize" it with some balance settings in your pre, maybe in your case the difference is ... | |
| Corroded tube pins - need help Marakanetz`s point with the black residue inside the glass is not correct. The black "stuff" is normal in any working tube. One more the other less, so no sweat here. But you should keep away from EVERY stuff which cleans your pin by adding some c... | |
| Wadia transport locking keys ? When I got my 270 I couldn't resist to open it and have a look inside anyway....was much better than the TV program that night. Since it came without a key I could easliy do the job with a screwdriver by looking how the whole locking thing worked.... | |
| Mcintosh front glass - touching up the paint Isn't it a shame that gear as good as it gets in McIntosh is needing such a stupid "repair" at all?????I cross my fingers that my MC2000 will last - colorwise and all! | |
| Your opinion on cable spending I doubt if there's a this OR that because it's all in the signal flow, right? Try to even out the quality (and the budget) by trusting your ears alone!BTW: Kimber Select is one of the places to end up at! :-)Good luck! | |
| Revel and Tubes ??? Regarding Elinor's response: I own the REVEL ULTIMA SYSTEM and run it with the McIntosh MC 2000 Millennium - 130WPC - and it is more than I need in most music sources. Just listened to Shostakovitch XI last night and I was there - musically anyway... | |
| Wadia 860 upgrade to 861 Check out Steve Huntley of Great Northern for that job athttp://www.greatnorthernsound.com/contact/Good luck! | |
| What does Holographic mean to you? To me "holographic" in this respect is even more than 3-dimensional: it lets you hear the different layers of musicians. So you can hear exactly who's playing BEHIND another instrument and even further behind - AND above, too! For example I have a... |
