| Thoughts on the Classe DAC1 The Classe 1 DAC is a very nice sounding player. The Electro DAC throws a wider and deeper soundstage but overall was not as sweet in the mids. Find a nice tube DAC like an old Audio Logic 34 and then forget about it.Happy Listening. | |

| Best Redbood CD Player Used/New under $7K The Shanling will not compete with the other CDPs. The Wadia 861 to me is the best of the Wadias you listed. I have heard the Metronome CDPs but not he one you listed. Over all good for the used prices but not the best I have heard. The Sony will ... | |
| Elrod EPS-3S versus EPS-3 Funny you should ask. The Sig 3 has slightly deeper bass and is more natural sounding in the mids, it just sounds more real. I tired the cords in two different systems on a Pass X-250 SS amp and a Graaf 5050 tube amp with the same results. I would... | |
| what about Fidelio or Parsifal with Simaudio ? I heard the original versions with Copland 288 CDP, Hovland and CJ 17 preamps into the W-5. I was a very nice combination. I also compared that set up using the Levinson 334 (125 wpc) power amp. I preferred the Levinson amp because it was more ref... | |

| Musical Fidelity X-24K No it should work either way. You would need an interface to generate the upsample signal unless your tranpsort sends the 24/96 signal. There are lights on the front of the DAC that tell you what singal it is locked onto. The unit goes between the... | |

| Any tube DACs with tight bass? Audio Logic makes an outstanding tube DAC. There is a review by Agon member rcprince for this DAC. The Electrocompaniet was a little deeper but the AL equaled the Chord DAC 64 in my system. The AL DACs used are around $2K.Email me with any other q... | |
| Interconnect & Power Cord f/ Sony SCD-1? I agree with Stehno with the FR LC-1. Email me direct and I can tell you about al the cords I tried with the Sony and which ones did what. I use the AZ Sil Ref ICs inmy system, have never tried the Audience.Happy Listening. | |
| Quicksilver V4 or Sonic Frontier Power 2 Bsal, I thought the V4s put out about 110 watts with the EL34s and close to 160 with KT-88 tubes. Are you driving thme that hard?? | |
| digital front ends w/ preamp capabilities? There are probably many threads on this. There is no best way. Some of the CDPs with volumes work very well and you hae to step up to a really good preamp to make it worth the expense. If you don;t have the funds to get a good preamp, using a CDP ... | |
| Tubes for Audio Logic 34 DAC I just hooked it up so it has not even been on a hour. I was going to play with some tubes that I have to see what happens to the sound first. It sounds very smooth and real to me which is just what I was looking for. I have a Kimber Orchird and w... | |
| Tubes for Audio Logic 34 DAC CEC TL-2X Transport. The AA was too much right now. I have heard the 24mxl in my system but did not directly compare it to the 34. | |
