| CAT SL MKIII vs ARC SP 11 or 10 Well, I have a CAT SL1 Sig Mk3 & I really love it. The phono stage is really quiet, dynamic & produces some really good music.My friend has a ARC SP-6A. Once Richard Gray (of RGPC) brought it up to spec & K & K Audio changed the co... | |
| Redbook Audio Aero Prima vs SACD palyer? I've had the same experience CD vs SACD. My Wadia 861 sounded much better playing redbook CDs compared to a Sony SCD-777ES playing SACDs. Same music/album, of course. This was in my friend's system using his cables (TARA, V-D), his pre (Spectral) ... | |
| What transport for my Birdland DAC? This might be only partially relevant 'cuz I have a completely diff. system than what is being discussed here. However, my CDP also has the option of going direct to the amp.I played around for a couple weeks with direct to the amp vs. thru my tub... | |
| TWL's Hi Fi Mod & Doug's VTF tweak Good job, Jphii/Joe!I used blu-tack too & I feel that was the better way for me to go as I can undo the mod should I sell off the tonearm in the future.BTW Joe, I'm in NC too - in the Piedmont Triad area, not too far from you. One day I'd like... | |
| What high-end cdp for low-end quality CD's ? Well, I own a Wadia 861. I've had it for 1 month now so my experience is not extensive. A lot of my CDs are also from the BMG & Columia House CD clubs. Most of the CDs are post 1990. I also have music on better quality disks. I usually go for ... | |
| Tara Labs IC range ? Which one to better RSC Prime I like the TARA Labs sound as well. Presently I am using the RSC Master Gen II interconnect & speaker cables. These are very good indeed & can be had for $150 & $300 (for 6'-7') respectively. Before TARA launched their present cable li... | |
| Which 3K CDP: Simaudio Nova, Ayre CX-7 Wadia 302 Ahhhh....I disagree with Mdp0430 quite a bit! Looks like Mdp0430 is just looking for some excuse to reject a manuf.>>The company has changed over many timesWrong! The company has changed hands just once! That was in year 2000. It is probably... | |
| what do you have your wadia 861 siiting on? Right now I have it on DIY roller blocks using a glass shelf. I found that glass has the least "memory" compared to granite & MDF & that it drains the vibrations the best of the 3 materials I tested. DIY roller block shelf sits on a Lovan ... | |

| Wadia 861 Fbhifi,I have to agree with your comment about running my 861 into a preamp. We were listening, at 1st, thru my friend's Spectral DMC-20 & it sounded really very good. Then we decided to take Wadia up on their reco to run it into the power amp... | |
| Adcom GFA-5802 -vs- Parasound HCA-3500 Amps? I'm in favour of the Parasound as well. I have heard the 3500 beast & another 5-ch Parasound. Also heard the smaller HCA-1000. All this at a dealer's show-room. For the price, I was very impressed w/ the sound. They seemed to be engineered cor... | |
