| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Mephisto vs. KeopsI received an Audiomeca Keops today which I purchased to use while I save money for another Mephisto. I recently had to sell my Mephisto to pay taxes and even up on some outstanding purchases I made.While I have only spent 30 min... | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Gary - Piere Lurne' has (on limited supply) replacements for the DB9 - RS232 (computer cord) power cord which runs from the power supply to the transport. I have no idea if they are better or not because I have never used one. A friend of mine is ... | |
| bypass outlet and hook wires directly to romex?? Stehno... Sorry you took what I said as being pretentious and self elevated. I will accept your comment and bow my head to you with sincerity - I feel bad about coming across that way (understand that I may have) and do not wish to argue further.A... | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Ah.... you're right! Gajgmusic - I am curious to know why you choose that solution over the stand alone player? I have talked to people before who were sold the Transport/DAC solution vs. the stand alone player. I wonder what the advantages (if an... | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Gajgmusic I agree with you about isolation and its importance however I am curious why you would buy a Mephisto II CD player AND a Enkianthus DAC. The Mephisto II and the Enkianthus share the same DAC. | |
| bypass outlet and hook wires directly to romex?? Hi Stehno, Glad we cleared that up. When I talk about good power cords, I usually speak of those which retail for more each than the cost of three Foundation Research LC1/LC2 conditioners so forgive me if I get defensive when I read claim that onl... | |
| bypass outlet and hook wires directly to romex?? Stehno - The point made was that aftermarket power cords can produce a significant improvement in a system regardless of what type of conductor (romex or home depot power cord) precedes it.From your post I get the impression that you do not believ... | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Top Ten Players? This is tough because my system changed so much between listenings that it's hard to say what the exact order should be. Clearly the three best players are listed below - but under that the order is a little more jumbled based ent... | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Hi Farhad - When I first purchased the Mephisto, I had an Elecrocompaniet EC4.5 preamp which has a "balanced/unbalanced" switch. The switch allowed a user to go between the two inputs on the preamp very easily. At that time, I was moving to a new ... | |
| audio quest product "pyramid" Argent - this cables provides the most from Audioquest for the lowest (used) price. Silver & Copper Hybrid. It's a very good speaker cable. | |
| bypass outlet and hook wires directly to romex?? Hi Albert - What do you think...??? a more realistic test might be made by taking a "lesser" or cheap interconnect and coupling it (via a female to female adapter) to your usual interconnect. Then using this creation to provide signal from your so... | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Maybe I can explain more... If the Mephisto were to be connected to a Krell preamp and Krell amplifier, I doubt anyone would complain about bass output. The Krell's would do their share of compensation.If we connect the Audio Aero to the same Krel... | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet Farhad, the Mephisto doesn't exactly "lack" bass - it's output does seems softer than the Audio Aero when using similar interconnects and power cords. Changing the interconnects around produces more or less bass perceived bass on each of these uni... | |

| Recommendation for amp & pre combo +- 3,000? I have to agree with Sean - the Dynaudio's will soak up lots of power. The more you can afford to feed them the better. The Monitor Audio's are a lot less fussy but you're talking two totally different sounding speakers.My suggestion would be to d... |
