| Cost is no object is easy, but.... My take on this:I own both the VKD5 and SCD777ES, You'll have to get your priorities straight as the VKD5 smokes the 777 on redbook playback. what's it going to be, start over with SACD, or enjoy your (possibly) sizeable redbook collection.Fortuna... | |
| The Lengths You ve Gone Through I can relate to Sean's post. I'm in Massachusetts, and have gone on road trips as far as western Pennsylvania to pick up gear. I hate shipping! Last summer I bought a pair of a/d/s L1530 speakers from a guy in southern NJ. These are huge! I fit on... | |
| SACD Dominates Recommended List Hello Bruce:I feel your pain, as I have over 1200 Redbook CD's myself.Buy the Sony, find the outboard DAC of your dreams, and have the best of both worlds. Some of today's better DAC's, like the Dodson, or the AudioNote 1.1 offer either DIY or mod... | |
| SACD Dominates Recommended List As the owner of an SCD777ES I'll tell you this:Either run with the big dogs or stay on the porch!SACD is the best thing that's happened for audiophiles in a long time. This media is phenomenal, and finally reveals the true promice of digital. As t... | |
| Help with Lexicon MC1 Hello!I have a DC1, and what I did was build a second, dedicated 2 channel system in another room. This is the expensive way. I fell into the HT trap 4 years ago and thought that the DC-1 would be a "be all, end all" solution, boy was I wrong, tho... | |
| Sony XA7ES vs Sony SCD777ES I'll be happy to get rid of my SCD777ES when you pry it out of my cold, dead fingers.Anyway, at the price these (were) available for, they were a steal. Snooze ya lose! SACD is here to stay, and I'm sold on the format.Paul | |
| Upgrade to balanced XLR interconnects? Upgrade will be worthwhile. Shop used here at audiogon.I paid $800 for a 35 foot pair of Transparent Ultra Balanced. These were $3500+ new. This deal took 6 months of patience on my part, I STOLE that cable at that price! Losing the monstercable a... | |
| Classe vs Levinson They are both worth it. How's about letting your ears decide! Having owned both Classe and Levinson over the years and different models each with their own traits, good and bad. On one system I have Aerial 10t's. I was using Classe M-1000 monobloc... | |
| BAT VK-50SE Pre Amp I cannot say hoe the 50SE will do with Lamm's, however it works wonders with my Levinson 33H's. Best preamp I've heard, and I've heard quite a few!Paul | |
| Krell KCT vs other top preamps ? Hello Roger:I find my VK50SE fits very well between the BAT VKD5 CD player and my Levinson 33H's. I would recommend you find a loaner somewhere and try the 50SE before you decide on anything else. Most definitely worth your consideration, and a de... | |
| Wadia with or without a preamp ? Keep in mind that "bits are bits" and a digital volume control as used on the wadia players strips bits to digitally attenuate volume. This is why the players have the sensitivity switches inside and why wadia recommends setting them so you run th... | |
| Best tubes for BAT VK5i, help please Hello Metaphysics: First I've heard of BAT being hard on tubes, I find the opposite to be true, perhaps you can elaborate?Paul | |
