| repair a carver tfm15cb is the cable tv box anywhere near the amp? | |
| Transport for Bel Canto DAC2 I used my DAC2 with Sony S7700. As Phil suggested, this dvd player is an excellent transport and works extremely well with DAC2. But, S7700 will/may play 95% of CD-Rs, but not absolutely all of them.Suggestion about digital COAX cable being 1.5m i... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 or Ah Reference Tjoeb 4000 DAC1 will be on the bright, forward side of things. It may make you not want to listen to some CDs as it is very picky and will not forgive a badly recorded cd and will let it all through. And a lot of CDs are recorded just bad. The DAC1 is what i... | |
| Best path to upgrade my source I think if you can pick up an older player, such as ARC CD2 or Meridian 508.24, you'll have a much better sound than you would get with Benchmark DAC1. I heard the dac1 in my system and compared it with Bel Canto DAC2. Benchmark went back to the d... | |
| Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it does anyone know which is better, the Isoclean fuses or HIFI tuning? Also, is it beneficial to also upgrade a fuse in a cd player and preamp as well? Or these fuses produce the most difference in amplifiers? | |

| Musical Fidelity A5 CDP -bass problem enjoy! | |
| Can tube preamps be as 'detailed' sounding as ss? Basically, the conclusion you came to while comparing the 2 preamps doesn't characterize neither tube preamps nor SS ones. There are tube preamps out there that can blow you away with the detail, imaging, dynamic drive and soundstage depth and wid... | |
| Interconnect for Solid State, Perreaux, B&W 802's SPL, you should try Matrix RefII. WOW is a good cable but the soundstage width and depth with Matrix Ref II is just huge in comparison. Sorry I didn't see your post before, I would've recommended the AZ for you. I use Silver Ref II and Matrix Ref ... | |
| Power Conditioner for your amplifier? Thanks for the advise Antonio. About the isolation. I haven't tried anything under the amp yet. I recently bought a new component stand - Solid Steel 5.4 and had few isolation devices laying around. Tried them. Found them to make some difference u... | |
| Musical Fidelity A5 CDP -bass problem ok, I'll be waiting | |
| Musical Fidelity A5 CDP -bass problem I'm assuming that the A5 player is not new and doesn't need break in. Also, what you may want to do is take your A5 and go to a local MF dealer and have them play it in their demo system so you can evaluate it, if this is possible, of course. Have... | |
| What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K? Hey Redwoodgarden, any news? How did the search end? Or is it still work in progress? Just curious what was your choice or what did you like out of the units you auditioned. |
