| JMLabs Alto BE / Verity Parsifal Encore / WP7? What type of sound are you looking for and what type of music do you prefer? | |
| Wadia think about expensive CD Players ? Mefge03 is correct, about the Wadia 861 SE. But like I already said the 861 basic is a great player and is not the digital sounding Wadia that some think about other Wadia CDPs.Happy Listening. | |
| Wadia think about expensive CD Players ? Yes it will sound better, worth the extra dollars that is your call. I recently compared the Wadia 861 basic to the Accuphase DP-77 SACD/CD and Resolution Audio Opus 21. The Wadia was more refined, smoother sounding with an excellent soundstage co... | |
| onix grand masters- any good I had the power cord in my system but did not think that it outperfromed any of the other cables I owned, Elrod Sig 3, Foundation Research LC-1 & LC-2, JPS power AC.Happy Listening. | |
| Tube base preamp suggestions Best tube preamps I have heard are the First Sound over the CJs and Hovland and the Joule Electra LA-150 over the Lamm LL2 Deluxe. Never got to hear the Joule and the FS in the same system.Happy Listening. | |
| Audio Research LS25 vs Pass X-1 I compared the LS25 MKII to the BAT VK-30SE and the Pass X-1. The BAT was not as dynamic as the LS25 MKII so right away it was eliminated from the audition (I owned the BAT at the time). The LS25 does not have a tube sound and the X-1 had a more l... | |

| Audio Logic tube DAC vs Wavelength tube DAC? This is a little late but I had both in and they are both excellent. The AL goes a little deeper in the bass and was slightly more extended on top also. The Wavelength has a volume control direct option if that is of interest to you.Happy Listening. | |
| Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe? Depends on the Vodka! Kidding.I am of the dampening side of things. I use an air bladder but it has a base filled with a mixture of sand and used lead shot so that the little bee bee's don't all fall to the bottom. I also use a silicon gel that he... | |
| Best lines in a song Bruce SpringsteenYou ain't a beauty but hey you're alright! | |
| Best $1500 DAC: Recent or Past Yes the old DACs compare very well with new DACs in the same price range. It becomes a matter of choice and the type of sound you prefer. Some are warmer sounding, some are more dynamic and detailed sounding etc. But if you don;t have a bunch layi... | |
| Matching amp for Talon Khorus Nti75,Mike does not run BAT tubes in his own system, FYI.Happy Listening. | |
| Best midrange on SS amp ? Pass Aleph 1.2 mono blocks.Happy Listening. | |
