| US connectors with 220/240v I'm using VH Audio Airsine and Shunyata Anaconda Helix Alpha both with US 3-prong on 230V. I've also used MIT Oracle AC2 US 3-prong and they are in fact specifically rated for up to 240V operation iirc (it's marked on the red paper ring around the... | |
| Current Faves that "Swing"? Ayre CX-7e will do exactly what you want. | |
| Next upgrade, DartZeel or Ayre Why don't you just do a home demo of the Ayre combo? | |
| dcs puccini, chord red ref, meitner cdsa or nagra Too bad, hiding the ball isn't the way to make potential customers comfortable. | |
| dcs puccini, chord red ref, meitner cdsa or nagra Which one? It would be fantastic if someone could just indicate from the pdf file at the bottom of this page (note that there are multiple implementations of VOSP as well as VRDS) which particular VRDS or VOSP implementation is in this player:http... | |
| dcs puccini, chord red ref, meitner cdsa or nagra That wasn't what I was trying to say. I don't particularly care if it's on a web page but where are the complete specs *including* transport type? | |
| dcs puccini, chord red ref, meitner cdsa or nagra I think for 10K, there should be something in writing besides what's out there. | |
| Attention Vandersteen 5A owners/ amp matches Concur, that's a pretty ludicrous statement. | |
| dcs puccini, chord red ref, meitner cdsa or nagra Concur, although I think it would have been fine if they had kept the edges straight instead of having them draw back. For me though, my big issue with that player is the scarcity of information; you would think that if it was using an Esoteric tr... | |
| Next upgrade, DartZeel or Ayre I don't know about that, the AX-7e, while a good unit (particularly if used as an amp only) is limited, as the price point would indicate. If you go with the KX-R you'll be giving up nothing. | |
| Okay......best single box reference CD player I don't think that's what he's saying at all. It sounds like he's making a valid point for many things, in that products produced before heavy commoditization in the field are often times better in quality than newer products, which may also have ... | |
| dcs puccini, chord red ref, meitner cdsa or nagra That's very Meitner of you ;) My philosophy has always been reliability first because no matter how good a unit sounds, if it's not working you're getting zero performance (i.e., less performance than any working CDP). Of course, if the sonics are... | |
| Is there a big difference or am I wasting money? Unless you go to the 803D, you're probably not going to get your money's worth. I went from the N804 to the 804S to the 803D and while the 804S was definitely better than the N804, it wasn't something that I felt made sense financially, but the 80... | |
| Buying Bookshelves, I love B&W but.... I would suggest trying Era, Dynaudio and Focal; they are both, ime, significantly better than the models you mention. | |
| Just bought 2 pairs of ML no. 33 for my Pipedreams Need for acceptance/reassurance; he's human like the rest of us. |
