| wadia 861 input output disabling Braro,I agree with Bombaywalla. Before you consider making an investment in GNSC upgrades make sure you first address isolation and power cords/conditioning.That said, the GNSC Statement mod did greatly improve imaging and just about everything el... | |
| wadia 861 input output disabling Wadia states that the Digital outputs can be disabled for sligthly better performance. I am not aware of being able to disable the inputs.To disable the outputs, you must take the top cover off first and the nremove the bottom cover to get to the ... | |
| Why do you never near anything about Spectral I have heard some Spectral systems and have mixed feelings. I once heard the DMA-360's with a Spectral front end playing over Dunalvy 5 speakers at Goodwin's in the Boston area. I was pretty amazed. The resolution and dynamics coming from these am... | |
| Anyone heard the new Virtual Dynamics Revelation? I have been experimenting with the Revelation Signature and have found that these really take at least 500+ hours to sound their best. The difference between the first couple hundred hours and 500+ is pretty amazing. At first I was questioning the... | |
| Anyone heard the new Virtual Dynamics Revelation? Dmurfet,Yes these cables are stiff but as you mention very sonically satisfying. With regards to the speaker cables, these also come with 45 degree spades which makes connection to binding post much easier in some cases. | |

| Minimum Cartridge output for CAT Ultimate Preamp Thom,Your analysis suggests I'll be fine since the typical output voltage out of my pre at normal listening levels is ~0.5V. Therefore, there should easily be enough gain in the amplifier. Another way of saying it is that I defintely will not need... | |
| Minimum Cartridge output for CAT Ultimate Preamp CORRECTION (I need to brush up on my math):In the above example the input the line stage section would see is 100mv (not 1,000 mv), i.e., 0.1 V. apparently this should not be compared to the output voltages of CD players since they have a differen... | |
| Minimum Cartridge output for CAT Ultimate Preamp Thom,Intersting point regarding the total gain. One thing to add is that Ken Steves told me that the effective input voltage that the line stage will be from the phono stage is 200 x phono output. That means a 0.5mv cartirdge output would feed 1,0... | |
| Minimum Cartridge output for CAT Ultimate Preamp Yes, I think the Ultimate also has 47dB of gain. | |
| Anyone heard the new Virtual Dynamics Revelation? I just recently replaced a regualr Revelation IC from CD player to preamp to Revelation Signature. The rest of the system is standard Revelation. I have about 100 hours and once again, I'm amazed at the difference between his levels of cable. They... | |
| ZYX Universe and Lyra Titan Round and round we go. | |
| ZYX Universe and Lyra Titan Folks,Your individual positions seem clear and it doesn't seem like there will be any resolution this way and with the choice of words. Remember, two wrongs don't make a right. Why don't you all call it quits on the rancour and move on to more con... | |
| Anyone heard the new Virtual Dynamics Revelation? Cenline,I agree with all of your comments on the Revelation. Especially the dynamics. The last cable I added were the revelation speaker cables and these go a long way in making the overall sound that dynamic.I want to qualify my comment about bri... | |
| Anyone heard the new Virtual Dynamics Revelation? I've had extensive experience with the Master and now own the complete Revelation system. I couldn't imagine that they would be tremedously better but they are. The master sounds a little bright and less natural by comparison. See my answer on VD ... |
