| Dan Wright "Absolute Truth" mod for SCD-1 / 777es Thanhn387 I am considering the two mods that will run under $1000 with shipping the unit back and forth to Richard Kern.I am a bang for the buck type of guy and know the Sony mod will provide an improvement after hearing my friends but I did not w... | |
| Review: Pass Labs X-250 Amplifier The Linar is a very nice amp but as a new company, you have to think about resale value down the road in my opinion. It was very open sounding, dynamic and natural sounding. I did not get a chance to compare it to the Sim Audio W-5 directly. For t... | |
| Electric guitar cable? JPS Labs and Audience both make guitar cables but I never tried any yet. I gues if I was recoding or play out a lot, I would try one but I am not doing too much of that now. | |
| Best speaker cables for B&Wn803 and Cello Encore Make your own speaker wire and be done with it. | |
| Shunyata versus Elrod I have tired too many power cords to discuss here. The Elrod Sig 2 was a no go on my CDP, it was equaled and outperformed by cheaper cords. The Sig 3 added to my CDP and power amp more weight/body if you want to fatten things up a little and kept ... | |
| Take the plunge into tubed CD player? I just heard the Metronome CDP in my system and it sounded pretty good for the used price of $1500 by passing my X-1 Pass preamp. | |
| Amp Suggestions Parasound Halo, McCormack 500, Pass X-250 are all very good choices as is the Edge amps. | |
| Wadia 301 or ?????? You need to go hear a bunch of CDPs to know which one to buy, each have their own characteristics. EMC-1, Resoultion Audio 21, Sony 777 or SCD-1, Audio Note, Audiomeca, Ayre, GamuT, etc. You need to hear them and make up your own mind. | |
| Which tube amps can I use with my B&W 803N? In my opinion while tube amps work with B&W speakers they do require some juice or high current amps. You may wnat to use a tubre preamp and a SS amp on the B&Ws. | |
| What is the overall consensus on the CJ Premier 17 I compared the CJ 17 MKI to the ARC LS25 MK II a few years ago. The CJ has a very nice warm sound to it and the ARC is more detailed. Combining the two is what I have been looking for but that has not happened in this price range. I have not heard... | |
| Dan Wright "Absolute Truth" mod for SCD-1 / 777es I am also thinking about the Kern mod for my Sony 777ES. I have decided to try the SuperclockII and transport mod just because the link noted above said that it was the biggest bang for the buck. I have heard that the full blown tube output mod by... | |
| Anyone Heard The New Fried Speakers? I called Fried Products the other day and they will be offering two new floor standing speakers and they are sending me info. That is all I know so far. I saw the ad in Stereophile and I tried the website which was not up as of yet.Still will be t... | |
| Has anybody else tried LITZ wire for speakers? Do not hold me to this but I think that Mosnseter used LITZ but does not any more. The old cable was so close to perfection but missed something in the final design. You should also try a Ferrite block on the cables. Did you isolate the pos and ne... | |
| UPS & Small Claims Court? I was going to send a BAT preamp to CA and when to the UPS store. The guy asked me is that the original box, and I said yes it is in great shape. He told me that they may not pay a claim since the box was used already. He also advised me to double... |
