| Cd Player shootout ; which is the best of the best Over the past year, I've owned Wadia 860, Electrocompaniet EMC-1 MkII, Marantz SA-1. I now own the AudioMeca Mephisto II and feel it is the best of the heap. I agree with Jmr above in his assessment of the player. | |
| Cheaper alternative to Cardas Golden AC Cord Buckingham, do you mean retail price? or used price? | |
| NBS Audio Cables Mombo, I too have been concerned when purchasing pre-owned NBS. The only real way to tell if NBS is authentic is to buy from someone who can prove the cables origin. In my quest for NBS Statement ICs I came across people who had 4 runs of Statemen... | |
| Which cable will reduce harshness of CD player? Buckingham, Believe it or not a power cord can shift the sound more than a PS Audio. I know it sounds crazy - but it is true. In my house a PS Audio made NO difference whatsoever. The Quadlink should be okay on your digital source. I have never li... | |
| Supratek preamps Looks like Mick introduced a new preamp - higher end than the Syrah/Chardonnay. It's called the Cortese. Check out the Supratek Website to see pictures:http://www.cantech.net.au/~supra/preamps.html | |
| Which cable will reduce harshness of CD player? Buckingham, I am glad the Golden Cross power cord worked out for you. I don't understand why 5 or 6 feet of power cord makes such an important difference but once you hear it, there is no going back.If you ever get a few bucks to "invest" you migh... | |
| Which cable will reduce harshness of CD player? Hi Buckingham - the Cardas Golden PC will most certainly warm things up for you. I never found it to be the ultimate PC for source components since it actually seems to perform better on amps, but at least this will make you a believer about the b... | |

| Supratek preamps Hi Brulee thanks for the intro and I am glad you liked my "review". I received my Supratek a few days ago and in that short time, I have to say it sounds glorious. My system has never sounded better.While the Supratek does not seem to have a chara... | |
| Which cable will reduce harshness of CD player? Buckingham - I would recommend that, before you "neuter" the sound of your system with interconnects, you might try a different power cord on the unit. Adding a Shunyata Black Mamba would be a good place to start and will instantly remove the digi... | |
| Lexicon MC-1, Classe SSP-50 or Krell HTS Hi Biggytaz, Well.. given that you have Classe amps, the Classe processor seems like the obvious choice. Perhaps the synergy between your components will be better if you say inside the family. The HTS-2 is not buggy. The original HTS was. Krell f... | |
| Power cord for Mcintosh amp I have used many with McIntosh Amps - my two favorite thus far have been the ElectraGlide FatMan and Cardas Golden. The FatMan added a great amount of detail and tight bass, while the Cardas Golden seemed to soften the sound and rounded out the ba... | |
| Lexicon MC-1, Classe SSP-50 or Krell HTS I second the Krell HTS - but recommend the HTS-2. The HTS is a fantastic product although it had some (major) problems with 2 channel audio. Krell quickly fixed the problems and released the HTS-2. The HTS-2 has separate "preamp" inputs which bypa... | |
| converting krell hts from 60hz to 50hz Larry: The Krell HTS was a "short lived" product. It didn't have analog throughput, and required use of the Krell processor. Since this limitation effected the performance of SACD and high end redbook players dramatically, Krell quickly changed th... | |
| Mcintosh - Love Em' or Hate Em' ......Why? I love McIntosh!! They have really cool blue meters things that are great to look at!! |
