| CD and/or LP collections. Is it about the music? About 180 DAT tapes, 1700 LPs and 3000 CDs - that's why I will never jump any SACD or whatever bandwagon. By the time I can get anything I want esp. in classical music on any of the new formats I will be gone long agp.And yes, IMHO high end is abo... | |
| Wadia 861 remote questions? The remotes for the 27, the 270 and obviously the 861 are identical. I used to have an 850 and it's remote didn't have the left-right buttons - other than that it is identical, too.Having no seams IMHO is one nice design feature of the remote. I g... | |
| Wadia owners - Cables - Which do you own? Well, you will get as many cable recommendations as you get answers, I guess. I am more than happy with the Kimber Select 1130 feeding directly the 27ix's output into the amp.If your system allows balanced throughout you should go balanced!I also ... | |
| Noel Redding He actually died in Ardfield near Clonakilty which is an hour's drive from Cork. We are - were - neighbours sort of -at least during the summer when we use our little cottage down there. My wife was in Clon the Friday before the Sunday he died and... | |
| Please, help me choose speakers for my Graaf GM200 I listened to the GRAAF with the Sonus Faber Amati Hommage and the Cremona. Both fantastic matches!Good luck! | |
| Where can I have the amplifier voltage switched ? No sweat at all!there are quite some threads in AudiogoN about this topic. You can change every unit to any voltage but basically the dealer/distributor/shop will charge you for that. (McIntosh charged me 250 Euros to change an MC2000 to 240 Volts... | |
| what CDs are most in need of remastering? All of the Beatles stuff!There is a Japanese series out with all their material - very hard to get but once your transport is spinning these CDs a whole new world opens up!God only knows (no, that was the Beach Boys..) how they get these fabulous ... | |
| Do Transports Matter??? A lot!!And their power cables do! A lot!Trust your ears.Good luck! | |
| JS Bach Motets John Eliot Gardiner conducting the Montverdi Choir.CD is ERATO ECD 88117.The 2 CD set is nicely coupled with Bach Cantatas BWV 4, 50 and 118.Good luck! | |
| Who makes good quality bananas ? WBT - There's nothing better.Good luck! | |
| Home HiFi better than Live? That's why the great Glenn Gould stopped playing in concert halls. When it comes to SOUND alone a good high end system might be superior in many cases. But as you mentioned it is not only the sound that counts when we attend a concert, is it? I so... | |
| DAC without power switch - alternative? Thanks Thsalmon! The PS300 wants to have the units plugged in to it switched on AFTER the PS itself is switched on. Otherwise there can be a very nasty repeated flipping of the internal relais which the 27ix doesn't like at all - goes into MUTE mode. | |
| DAC without power switch - alternative? Thanks Sidssp for your fast response. Well, this DAC is fed by a PSAudio PowerPlant which should be on then all the time, too. Too much heat (the PS300 gets really hot), too much waste of energy? | |
| Step-up/down transformers degrade performance? If your transformer is of good quality there is no degrade of performance. If possible try to install the transformer within the unit's housing - that spares you any special powercords.Good luck! | |
| Turntable speed problems... I agree to Theo. Have the same problem with my Transrotor Electronic. In this case it very likely is some elctronic part in the speed adjustment section.Maybe it's an excuse for a new TT :-) |
