| Latest SACD News - Very Interesting. The last desperate try to revitalize an almost dead new format. Only interesting for NEW recordings instead of old which have just been transferred. And that will take a decade to go.In the meantime: long live vinyl and/or the best of CDs! | |
| Audio Aero Capitole Mk.2 - any news? Isn't that nice that we disagree at times? I found it uninvolving yet on a high niveau, of course. But compared f.e. to the Sonus Faber CREMONA fed by the Graaf tube it was almost boring to me, let alone the presentation in Salon 4 with the WADIA ... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole Mk.2 - any news? I heard it at Frankfurt High End Show. It didn't take my breath away, whereas the Audio Meca Mephisto II and even more the WADIA 861 really made music!I don't know about the interior changes nor did the stuff at the stand. Their customer communica... | |
| Mozart Piano Concerto 21. Try Andras Schiff and Alfred Brendel!Good luck! | |
| Why are there so many unopened amps, ect for sale? In case of McIntosh many people bought in order to sell again later for higher price - esp. with the Millennium MC2000 of which only 555 have been built. But as with many "collectibles" it turned out that nobody is willing to pay more than the for... | |
| jumpers versus golden plates Thanks folks for all your input so far!I think I will take a couple of inches from the speaker cable's end (KS 3035) to terminate as jumpers. It will just be an experience to cut into that pricey cable in the first place :-) | |
| WADIA / dCS / AA Capitole - the ultimate CD ??? . There is no such thing as THE BEST.It always depends not only on your system (cables, pre-yes/no, amp-tube/ss) but also on your room(!) and first of all on your preferences in listening to music. Like in a concert hall - as the late Glenn Gould st... | |
| Best XLR cable for Wadia 850? Hi there,guitarman wrote:IF YOU WANT WARMTH AND WEIGHT GO CARDAS,IF YOU WANT AIR AND RESOLUTION AND TOP END,GO AUDIOQUEST.IMHO: go for Kimeber Select 1130 and you have both and much more! A perfect match for the WADIA 850 which I also own.Good luck! | |
| PsAudio 300? One of the best upgrades in my system! Even better with the MULTIWAVE. Don't go for the cooling fan, though - first: it is not necessary unless you run the unit close to its limits all the time, second: the fan makes noticable noise.When you go ba... | |
| Best CD player Don't count out WADIA! There is a lot of hype about Mephisto and Capitole at the moment. Not too many people have even auditioned them because they are so rarely to be seen. Sure they are excellent players but Wadia is a rock in digital research s... | |
| CD Players which connect direct to Amp? All WADIA's, of course. They actually invented the "change volume in the digital domain". | |
| Marking Items Sold Charlie, I guess we are talking SOLD here which means the item changed its place and owner! I had the same frustrating experiences as Jond, I wrote to Audiogon and they promised to be at work with this problem. It might be fixed in the not too dis... | |
| Carmina Burana: what's your favorite recording? My own one! Hard to praise one self, but according to the press it is a wonderful recording of a great live event.I'd be glad to send it to you if you are ingterested. | |
