| How suitable Hologram II biwire are for B&W N803? My N803 sound best with Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun speker cables. I tried many different cables bi-wire and single run. Bi-wire works better than single run with these speakers, but shotgun run is the way to go with these speakers. | |
| Sony s7700 mods by Empirical Audio. Interesting, Steve. Copied at what speed? The lowest or doesn't matter? | |
| Sony s7700 mods by Empirical Audio. Steve, since you modify the Bel Canto DAC2 among other dacs you mod, have you had a chance to run modified S7700 with the modified DAC2? Just curious what your opinion is on this combo. Right now I am pretty satisfied with the stock 7700 into my s... | |
| Again, recommended CDPs for $2K-$3.5K ARC CD3MkII. Top loader. You need to audition it, possibly in your system to determine if a cd player is right for you. Check out a review of ARC CD3MkII http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/audioresearch_cd3mkii.htm | |
| Sony s7700 mods by Empirical Audio. I'm curious to know as well. I have a Bel Canto DAC2 and considering sending in my S7700 for mods to Empirical. Would be nice to hear from someone who uses a modded S7700 with Bel Canto DAC2. | |
| Recommended Player I tried Audio Research CD2 for several weeks in my system. A buddy of mine was nice to let me use it and see what I think. Well, I think this machine's got what you crave. Very good sound and the bass is outstanding. Built like a tank. | |
| Solidsteel racks any good Edesilva, I looked on their site for SolidSteel and the 5.5 that I bought at musicdirect is $50 more at Savant. Do I need to call them to get the discount? | |
| Stable component rack Ajazi, these are $4500 racks. A little over my price range.... | |
| Why am I experiencing listener's fatigue? Vertigo, also consider auditionning Sonus Faber Cremona, Cremona Audior and Vienna Acoustics Strauss. I audiotioned these and thought they were pretty nice but a little too smooth sounding for me. I like a little more open sound, but if you experi... | |
| CD Help I would check out the Wadia player and would consider it probably over the Marantz. Also look at used ARC CD3. | |
| Solidsteel racks any good I just placed an order for a SolidSteel 5.5 rack with Music Direct. Bes said it's on its way to US and should be here soon(they didn't have it in stock). I found no reviews on these, but they look solid and I like the design. We'll see when I get ... | |
| Stable component rack Bgrazman, sure looks nice that rack you made. But due to lack of time to make 1 myself, I ended up ordering SolidSteel 5.5. I hope it is as stable as it looks. I haven't heard bad things about it. More $ than Salamander I wanted to buy, but it wil... | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Walked into Innovative Audio here in Brooklyn about 7 years ago. Heard the Wilson Watt/Puppy with VPI TT. don't remember the pre and the amps(all tubes as I remember, could be VTL), but the sound I heard was amazing. Soundstage was so good, I didn... | |
| DVD locked inside my Sony DVP-NS975V HELP I had this. I sent it to Sony for repair. They said they upgraded the software on the 975. I couldn't fix it myself. The display showed "TRAY LOCKED". that's it. I couldn't do a thing. In some case you can accidentally lock the tray with combo of ... | |
