| Can the RA Opus 21 rock better than a Wadia? The Wadia was clearly superior to the Opus 21. The Opus required a Shunyata Black Mamba power cord to get it to sound smooth and real. The 861 at a much higher price sounded much better even with the stock power cord. I posted this info a year or ... | |
| Which "tweeks" are more important It depends on many factors. AC Lines with AC filtering is a must for a natural sound especially from digital sources. But if you speakers were facing each other then I'd say get your speakers set up properly, etc.You have already picked out cables... | |

| What DAC to use with a Sony XA7ES Museatex Bitsream or Chord 64 are two dacs that really sound analog. The Bitstreams go for around $400-$500 and the Chord probably around $2K & up.Happy Listening. | |
| Preamplifier: Yes or NO ? It all comes down to the volume control and output of the CDP. A buddy of mine has a Metronome CDP but it has a low end volume control. It sounded very nice until we added a preamp into his system (all preamps gave the same results when we added o... | |
| Best Transport with Museatex Bitstream DAC I have two bistreams now, one was just modified and I am letting it break in. Will compare them this weekend. | |
| Looking for CD player with volume control? The Opus 21 is a very mice CDP with volume control but it requires a good power cord. The Wadia 861 was a better sounding unit with the stock power cord. The Shanling was just OK compared to these units. I also had a completely modified Shanling a... | |
| brass outlet covers...anyone try them? Sound good yeah put one on each side of your head covering your ears and see if you can hear the difference in your wallet!Happy Listening | |
| Do you know anyone who repairs Chiro amps? Kinergetics is way out of business and the guy who was their tech no longer repairs the amps. If you ever find anyone, please email me as I have a Kinergetics amp that will not come off standby mode.Happy Listening. | |
| Speaker recomendations please Used Alon MKIIs, IVs or VsHappy Listening. | |
| replacing the volume control in an inexpensive pre TKD makes a very good volume control but you have to make sure it will fit inside the unit without much modification. I used one in an old Counterpoint preamp that replaced the original carbon pot. The new one is a plastic pot. I looked at the bet... | |
| Tyler and Acoustic Zen reviews in TAS I gave up on reading reviews a long time ago as reviews are flawed and so are the reviewers, not to mention their equipment and room conditions. If you could see what I have seen you would wonder how some reviewers get to be reviewers at all. I kn... | |

| which power conditioner unit? There are a few DIY filters that you can istall on each of your dedicated power lines (assuming you have dedicated lines). I think the Magnam website is where I got my info and I found this to be the best of what I have heard versus the thousands ... | |
| taming a nasty treble response Not sure what is under your CDP but try a 16" bike inner tube and see what happens to the sound. Tubes run about $4.00.Happy Listening. |
