| Why is Sony Digital sound more like vinyl? Hmmmmm......I've had the exact opposite experience compared to you! My friend & I compared his Sony 777ES to my Wadia 861 in his system & we played SACD on his Sony vs. redbook on my 861. The 861 was significantly better than the 777ES &am... | |
| Why do only US makers focus on time coherency? To Seandtaylor99:I've owned B&W DM604S2 for 3 years & I felt that these speakers imaged very well. I've heard many B&W speakers in DM series, N series & the now discontinued CDM series. Each time I thought that, if nothing else, th... | |
| Why do only US makers focus on time coherency? Shayner,Wake up & do some reading!!! Educate yourself before making incorrect rebuttals! | |
| Why do only US makers focus on time coherency? * JM Lab is time coherent but not phase coherent.* German make "Manger" is a single driver speaker & by its very nature is time & phase coherent.* Taiwanese make "Usher" appears to be time-coherent esp. from the looks of their floor standi... | |
| Wadia 861 Owners... I'm a recent owner of a Wadia 861 myself & have played both with feeding the 861 directly to my solid-state Symphonic Line monos & feeding the 861 into my CAT pre. I lived w/ both setups for atleast 2-3 weeks before making a change & c... | |
| CAT SL-1 Signature Mk II 90493m,Good to read yet another person enjoying the CAT SL1 Signature preamp. Like Spencer (who posted before me) I too own the SL1 Signature Mk 3 version. Simply love it! I have never heard the Mk 2 version myself but my conversation w/ Ken Steve... | |
| A.A. Capitole..unfortunately not yet..$$$$$$ Devon,A different line of reasoning (rather than telling you to simply change your components 'cuz changing components gets you into an infinite cycle!): before you buy, tweak!Tell us, what is it about the Capitole Mk2 that you liked so much over ... | |
| looking for the right power conditioner Yes, there is a power conditioner that is pretty good in this price range: Blue Circle Noise Hound. $110! My friend has this & uses it for the front-end & TVC pre. He likes it a lot. His amps go into the PS Audio Ultimate Outlet. Here is t... | |
| AA capitole mk2 VS. Wadia 861 Inpieces,>>I can say, i would gladly compair Wadia 861 and AA CAP mk2 head to head... - but that >>will be completely impossible from how the scene is in this country.Just curious - which country are you located in. (doesn't seem like ... | |
| AA capitole mk2 VS. Wadia 861 Golden_ears:looks like you are making an attack! I tried very hard not to attack the 3 people (who posted before me) who said that the Capitole is better. There's no point in attacking these people as choice of CD player is personal (along w/ most... | |
| AA capitole mk2 VS. Wadia 861 Well, I have the Wadia 861 im my system. It does NOT sound "electronic" or "compressed" or "disappointing" at all. Not by a long shot. I have not heard the AA Capitole Mk 2. The Wadia 861 is NOT a player you can buy, place on your rack shelf &... | |
| CAT SL1 - is there enough GAIN using 0.4mV mc?? Should have edited my post before posting but I hit the wrong key!Correction: I meant to say that Blues does NOT sound right if the bass slam is missing. (might be obvious but all-the-same). | |
| CAT SL1 - is there enough GAIN using 0.4mV mc?? Hi Spencer,Good to read that you have the CAT up & running & that you are enjoying it & that you consider it an improvement from your prev. preamp. Whew! I don't feel so bad recommending this pre to you then! :-)Thanks for the complime... | |
| CAT SL1 - is there enough GAIN using 0.4mV mc?? I have the CAT SL1 Mk 3 & use a Benz L2, which is 0.4mV. The CAT by itself does *NOT* have enough gain for a 0.4mV MC cart. I tried it for about a month: by opening up the volume pot, I could get enough volume thru the speakers but the quality... | |
| Do 1st Order XO's produce a smaller I have the GMA C1.5i & the sweet spot is fairly wide when I am in the "official"/intended sweet-spot. Moving my head 6" left & right has very little effect (an effect for sure but practically not too different from the real sweet-spot). St... |
