| Preamp Deal of the Century That's it!! I think I am going to upgrade to the Cortese! The Chardonnay is so darn good that I must know what the Cortese is capable of!! So if anyone is interested in buying a Chardonnay (black with chrome) let me know and we can work somthing o... | |
| McIntosh C2200 Tube Preamp with Krell? I've owned many of the components you mention and have done a similar exercise.... So to answer your question, it all depends on the type of sound you like. When you add a good preamp in place of your HTS, you will immediately notice LESS BASS. I ... | |
| Video Sheilding - required for Projection HDTV's?? Hi Albert, Thanks for taking the time to reply. I couldn't provide him with a definitive answer and he is too paranoid to listen to my rationalization. You'd think the man doesn't trust me!!! But... he gave me his daughters hand!!! Interesting tho... | |
| The most beautiful Integrated Tube amp? Help on the way:In order to post a picture on Audiogon you first have to use HTML (with the exception of single quotes instead of double quotes - too complicated to explain why), and the photo has to be out on a website somewhere.You cannot use th... | |
| One Box CD Player or EAD with new Chord 64 Buckingham - the EAD transport you want is the T-7000. That transport plus nearly any decent DAC will smoke many of the one box players people mostly dream of. If you're looking for sheer "analog" magic from digital and have a little money to spen... | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet I just read Lorne's Review and it appears that he did get a chance to listen to his XA777ES before and after the mods. While I have only spent a few hours with the Sony XA777ES, I would have to agree with his thoughts on the pre-modification chara... | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Yep.. I read Lorne's review. It is very good. I don't know however if Lorne got to hear his XA777ES with/without the mods. He had Richard Kern of Audiomods perform the modificationsI emailed Dan Wright of Modwright regarding the effects of his mod... | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Heads up to those of you looking at the "lower end" Audio Aero, Audiomeca, Electrocompaniet and other CD players...Just yesterday I received my second interim CD player (temporary - as I attempt to save up for another Mephisto). I purchased a Sony... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit ...does it matter if the positive and negative sections of one channel of an OTA interconnect are an inch or so longer/shorter than their respective positive or negative counterpart?*I* don't think it matters and I don't think it's possible to get... | |

| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Hi Snook - I have only read about the "CD Transformers" I have no idea what's inside those things or what they're doing to the signal. Folks who have used them seem to really like how they "transform" digital components into something more enjoyab... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Timchen, yes the Supratek preamps have two sets of outputs. You can use them for bi-amping or to run to a dedicated subwoofer. | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Snook? Are you saying that you are using the $18,000 (hifi farm sells for 11,250) CD Transformer?? Or did you put the lower end version in your system? | |
| The most beautiful Integrated Tube amp? Hey Slick! I think it is made by Pharao and I have no idea what it sounds like. The website I found the photo on showed the price at about "Preis: Fr. 24500." (whatever that is)Here is another shot of the thing:And While I am at it - Maybe I'll i... | |
| Metronome Labs: can I get at least one post Justlisten - thanks for the info. I have no way of measuring jitter - guess it was a presumption as to why the EAD T1000 (I believe it is the same transport mechanisim as the Data 2) sounds so darn good. As a transport only, it killed my Mephisto ... |
