| Will Audio Logic DAC improve EMC-1? I compared both in my system using either a Sony SCD-777ES CDP or modded Shanling T-100 as transports. I was also using the updated version of the AL DAC. To my ears the AL DAC was more to my taste but the Electro DAC throws a very wide soundstage... | |

| Krell FPB differences I have heard teh Mcx 450 mono blocks and they break away from the typical Krell sound that has been described over the years. The mids are more musical and the highs are slightly more extended and natural sounding.Happy Listening. | |
| Bryston 4BSST, or 7BST's w/B&W M802SIII's? The Brystons workd very well with the M B&W series. I owned the 803s that I recently sold, other amps are Krell, Pass and Sim Audio. I am not familiar witht eh newer Bryston amps but the Krell, Sim and Pass were better amps than the older Brys... | |
| Need DA convert The only option for SACD output is a filter of some kind that was sold by the cable company. I have never tried it but it was selling for around $500 and they offer a money back trial period.Happy Listening | |
| Replace amp or speakers ? Not a very good idea to change the amp if you are going to consider changing the speakers inthe near future. Mating the speakers and amp is critical to getting the sound you want. I have not heard the Rowland monos yet but they are on my list soon... | |

| Best available Tube Dac around 3k The Audio Logic was one of the best tube DACs that I have heard so far, but I did prefer the Chord over it. I did not get a chance to roll the tubes. I have not heard the MF, AN, Audio Aero or the Tube Technology DACs yet.Happy Listening. | |
| Sony SCD-1:Is it time to tweak or upgrade to new? I agree with all of the above although I have the SCD-777ES SACD/CD player. My concern has always been getting back my investment after the mods. I have heard a few of the modded 777s and they sound much better than the stock. I recently compared ... | |
| Art Audio Preamp I have not tried out the Gill yet as I am trying out a few DACs and CDPs where I can run them direct to bypass the preamp. If I find one that can make music I may go that route but I will not know until ealry next year.Happy Listening | |
| Bob Carver Architect's Choice Series II SunfireAmp Sean the amp I have is the Architect's Choice Series II Sunfire amp that Bob Carver signs. I borrowed it from a friend who kept telling me to give it a try, and I gotta say it blew away the tube sound that I thought I loved from my other friends G... | |
| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo Froggerz40 the Live at the Filmore was the actual record that I learned most of my early geetar licks from. Both Duane and Betts really had the right "tone" as it is called. Betts still has some of the nicest guitar tone today.Jrd351 if you includ... | |
| Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo Buscis2 Ooops, I missed a few more also. I own 30 geetars, 6 LPs a few Strats and Teles from the '60s and a nice '61 335 Dot Neck tobaco sunburst. Still cannot get over that Gatton and Stevie are not with us any longer, oh yeah the guitarist who d... | |

| amp-preamp considerations. Well it is not as easy to just buy a preamp or an amp, it comes down to synergy. For example, my friend has a Carver amp and he happened to mate it with the Musical Fidelity 308 preamp, funny but they just click together, why because what the Carv... |
