Mcintosh 275's or Marantz Model 9's What would you
Marantz 2's are even better than Marantz 9's in many peoples minds but only 40 watts. A pair of 9's are really only a tad better than a pair of 8B's but all of them are very good. Bob 
Bluenote stibbert vs. modified units
Fazoid, which grade of the Ediswans did you choose? I do hae the sound fusion kit. I do not have the vibe 2 on the top of the player. Is that essential? Bob 
Bluenote stibbert vs. modified units
I finally did buy a Stibbert and the sound is as good as many on these boards have said. I was wondering what was the latest thought on power cords and replacement tubes. BobF has already given me some great tips but I was wondering what others we... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Slowhand, The podium speakers look very interesting. I am putting them on the hit list for the audiofest. Anyone else from the thread going also? I use Apogees so finding a more amplifier friendly speaker would be welcome. Bob 
Anyone tried the original Playstation 1 for CD?
Rich, Thanks for your comments. I have been listening to the Playstation quite a bit and have been enjoying it very much. At your suggestion, I purchased the PS audio power cord and it made a nice improvement. I also used Stealth Indras between th...

Stiltskin, you have given me much to think about in your last post! Thank you so much for your thoughts. I have heard that Mick will be have the V caps as a new option on his preamps. Bob 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Stiltskin, How much of a difference is there between your Gold pin EH and the Tungsol round plates. What other 6sn7 would be close in sound to the Tungsol? I keep reading about the Sylvania Bad boys. Are they as good? I understand that much of thi...

Tuongsy, I have heard of others who have put V caps in their preamps. What differences did you hear when you made this mod. Also, how much in caps did it cost to do this? Bob 
Anyone tried the original Playstation 1 for CD?
The Playstation is very good! I bought my third one off ebay that has a new laser and the unit seems much more dynamic. I am still looking for someone to do the simple mods to the output that I have read make a large difference. Does anyone know o... 
What is new with the Memory Player?
Has anyone else heard these players recently? Bob 
Accuphase dp90 dc91 are they still good?
Most of my gear is from the mid 90's or earlier. I have revamped Apogee Scintillas with a pair of CJ Evolution 2000 hybrid amps. I do use a modern Supratek Chenin preamp which I think is an outstanding value. My front end believe it or not is the ...

I will post my listening thoughts and so far I am really enjoying the player more than I thought possible. I will also buy one of the power cords mentioned. I am wondering if there is anyone who mods these things. I remember reading that a slight ... 
Anyone tried the original Playstation 1 for CD?
I must say that I had a shocking experience with the Playstation 1 yesterday. I bought a pair of the Stealth Indra interconnects for my system. I used the interconnects with Toshiba 3990 and the changes were very subtle. My two year old daughter g...
