| Classe preamps - CP-700 vs Classe CP-800? Starting with the CP-800 production moves to the Middle Kingdom, somewhere near the Oppo factories. | |
| New reference Marantz compared to McIntosh Late reply but here is how the D&M Holdings McIntosh cloning sequence goes:1. DVD-A1UDCI2. UD9004 (add beefier metal)3. MVP891 (add McIntosh logo, delete one HDMI)Any of these players should make a MCH SACD afficionado very happy, as currently... | |
| Modern day female jazz recommendations For the chronically depressed neurotic nerdy intellectual nothing will ever beat a Jungr, Barber, or Wilson :) | |
| Topnotch BluRay Concert..... Sting Live in Berlin A++++ everything, i decode sound in my A1UDCI (dedicated 6x AKM DACs, one per channel, Oppo you listenin?) with the HC9000 doing the video. Fan-friggin-tastic concert. | |
| New Oppo BDP-95 better than the McIntosh MVP-881? When you can get a refurb DVD-A1UDCI with AKM DACs for 2K and 1 yr warranty all else becomes obsolete, HDMI/DSD loses because most processors feature inferior to AKM DACs. Get it and invest in King Cobra interconnects:)MVP881 may be an expensive A... | |

| What are the best interconnects. Bradf, the catch is i won an auction on ebay for 1/3 MSRP on the 7.1 2m XLR run, and got used pairs of 7.1 RCAs to make use of the fabulous AKM DAC for SACD in my refurb DVD-A1UDCI. I even had a fake King Cobra RCA pair, immediately noticed the il... | |
| What are the best interconnects. Funny Bradf's post reminds me that everything is relative to one's point of reference. Point in case, i have been using generic Canare/Neutrik XLRs for 5 years and upgraded everything to King Cobras, and i have to say WOW, what an improvement, eve... | |
| Cheap Interconnects from Hong Kong Things with King Cobras are getting ever hairier these days.The lack of the "Audioquest" logo on at leastone of the RCAs is a sure sign of a fake. Nowthey even started selling Audioquest empty boxesfor those who want to get more creative, like thi... |
