| Need help for MD 108 I know from personal experience that MD lost some components from a warehouse some time ago. I purchased a used MD308 integrated amp which turned out to have problems. I contacted MD about repairs and he asked for the serial numbers. Turns out min... | |
| Dealer needs input, next wave of gear? I wouldn't want a single component that is both a disc player and a hard drive, but I'm a fan of the idea of storing music on hard drives simply for pure convenience. For example, in my home office I'm setting up an iBook as a music server. I can ... | |
| Are You Satisfied? Yes, I'm satisfied and plan on keeping my components for a while. I'm tired of spending money and selling gear and frankly it sounds pretty darn good. My only wishes are an Electrocompaniet SACD player and a CD player for my headphone system that'... | |
| Preamp or CD Player for Best Sonic Improvement I recommend the Electrocompaniet CD player! I have the Mcitnosh C2200 and MC 2102 tubed components and the Electrocompaniet EMC-1 CD player. Before that I had the MA6900. The EMC-1 is a great, great CD player and matches well with the Mcintosh com... | |
| Headphone dilemna....seeking advice.. Check out head-fi.org for all kinds of headphone info. You can do better than the AKG 501. My favorite is the Sennheiser HD600 with Stefan AudioArt Equinox headphone cables and the Grace 901 headphone amp. Really, really sweet combo. I still have ... | |
| Best DAC? Electrocompaniet, Musical Fid A324 Or? There are balanced headphone amps available. I use the Grace 901 and it has both balanced and unbalanced inouts. Headroom also makes a few balanced amps. | |
| CD copyright protected playback problems ??????? I haven't had trouble with that particular CD, but I suppose copy protection is like putting a large scratch across the hood of a Mercedes so that no one steals it. Smart thinking guys![I just get SO irritated that I can make a tape copy, but not ... | |
| EMM Labs DAC6 vs. latest version dCS Who is the contact for consumer sales for Meitner? Thanks. | |
| UPS & Small Claims Court? It is clearly beneficial to photograph the packaging job before shipping it, both before and after closing the box. If the box appears damaged on arrival then it should be photographed before opening it. The more evidence you have, the more carefu... | |
| Review: Jolida JD-100 CD Player I had the Jolida JD-100, sold it because I got an SACD player, the guy returned it because he said the digital out didn't work (it works fine), and now I'm keeping it because it kicks the SACD player's you-know-what on redbook. The Jolida is a sur... | |
| Best Integrated Amp for Linn Tukans Blue Circle CS, though good luck finding it used. Remote volume is an option. I think it fits your sonic bill. | |
| Power Cord for Electrocompaniet ECD 1 I've used the Harmonic Tech. power cords, Audience PowerChord, and the Blue Circle powercord, all with great success. Anything is better than stock in this case. | |
| Tri-Vista SACD, what do you think? The review in Stereophile left me wondering whether they liked it or not. Obviously they can't irk MF. But this was one of the least useful reviews I've read in Sterophile. I know some mags dislike doing them, but comparisons really, really help b... | |
| need more help with cd/sacd selection The SA-14 or the SA8260, depending on your budget. Both are great players for the money. | |
| SA-14 vs XA777es Aural memory is unreliable. Also, first impressions (your experience with the Sony) can leave strong memories sometimes exagerating how good they were. Finally, the fact that redbook is better on the SA-14 may make the SACD sound worse (than the S... |
