| audio research sp 10 tube question I am not 100% sure, but I don't think the unit could be operated without the tubes. It may cause a problem. Call ARC and ask them. | |
| What would you do? Baddabob, you're absolutely right!!!! | |
| What would you do? Hey Baddabob, all the things you said apply to audiogon if it was around in the 19th century. People now don't care about someone elses frustration. They tend to take advantage of your kindness. So, just like I said, lesson learned, train is gone.... | |
| What would you do? As long as you got your unit back and it is in the same condition as when you sold, why would you complain about it? After all you sold it again. What you should have agreed on in the first place is if you take the player back, he would pay all th... | |
| PS Audio Prelude power cord. Steve's a great guy. I am sure he know what a lot of different speakers sound like. I heard DNA-125 modded by Steve and it is a great sounding amp. I am thinking to send my DNA-125 for revision + transformer at some point. | |
| PS Audio Prelude power cord. If you like the way this cord made your amplifier sound, that's good. That's why it's best to buy from a place where they offer home audition. Also, I don't think SMC would use this cord when tuning your amp. They explicitly say they don't want yo... | |
| PS Audio Prelude power cord. it's pretty scary how tight that iec plug is on the Prelude, isn't it. This cord made my amp sound darker than I like it to. I ended up sending this cord back and got an Audience cord here on a-gon. I'm very happy with it. Made a pretty big differ... | |
| Hissing sound on Hydra 2 r u sure it was coming from hydra? could it be coming from your transport when the disc was spinning? | |
| Hissing sound on Hydra 2 Both my Hydra 2 units are quiet. Looks like you have a problem with yours. Contact Shunyata, see what they say... | |
| Preamp for Mccormack 0.5 mono Paul, how are you. I used ARC LS-15 with my DNA-05 Deluxe with great results, but it does not have SSP throughput. But the newer LS16 does. ARC tube preamps have a very open sound that is a good complement to McCormack amps. I now use my LS-15 wit... | |
| Suggestions for upgrading audioquest interconnects It's best to call Cable Company. This way it is faster and you get a more detailed explanation on how their lending library works. They are great these guys, and have lots of cables + database of customer comments as to which cable worked better w... | |
| Suggestions for upgrading audioquest interconnects I agrfee with suggestion for AZ cables. I tried AQ Jaguar and AZ Matrix Ref MkII were better in my system. I found AQ to be too laid back for my taste. I ended up getting AZ Matrix MkII. Good luck. | |
| A "bit" of information Koestner, in my opinion, although some dacs claim superb jitter rejection, their ability to deal with certain amount of junk that comes in from the transport is important. I personally don't think that Benchmark DAC-1 or my Bel Canto DAC2 are so j... | |
| A "bit" of information my marantz 5 disc cd changer sounds VERY different(like crap to be exact) from my dvd player when both used as transports with my Bel Canto DAC2, with Philips $65.00 dvd player being a clear winner. And WireWorld Super Nova 3+ glass toslink sounds... | |
| Arcam FMJ CD33 vs Cary 306/200 dkidknow, cool.... be sure though before you buy the A5 that MF worked out the problem with hybrid SACD playback... just check out my post in this thread earlier... |
