| Cd player is skipping ...need advise. I used to have trouble with my Theta transport that would skip. I would eject the cd disc, hold it under water, dry it off and put it back in the Theta and it would stop the skipping 90% of the time. | |
| Anybody auditioned new Wadia 301 CDP? I auditioned it in a head to head with the Resolution Audio Opus 21. The Resolution piece was superior IMHO. The Opus 21 was more present, clear, open sounding. Associated equip. was Krell FPB, KRC3 (auditioned it with and without the preamp), wit... | |
| Best CD player directly to Amp? I recently put the Resolution Audio Opus 21 up against the Wadia 301 for a long home trial. The Resolution Audio Opus 21 won in most every category except, a) sense of slam and authority, and b) tank like build quality (including its huge size). I... | |
| Best powered mini monitors w/out sub Celtic66, How to the Acoustic Energy AEGOS speakers sound without the sub? Doesn't the sub have the amp inside so they are inseparable as a 2.1 system? I can't carry the sub in my suitcase on trips. And that's what I need. | |
| New Ayre integrated and CD player..have you heard? I have been shopping for a $3,000 to $5,000 one box cd player for 9 months. Have listened to the new Wadia 301, the Naim CDX, the Resolution Opus 21, the Moon Eclipse, and even compared the Ayre cx-7 to the top of the line Linn cd player. I heard ... | |
| At a crossroads...what's next I agree with some of the above posts. To upgrade, I would move next on your speakers. | |
| Krell 300IL integrated or Marsh seperates? Lgregoir, can you describe the differences you heard between the Krell 300iL and the YBA Integrated? | |
| best entry phono stage under 150 new or used Thanks Jrook. I tried to find the Radio Shack battery powered unit and I found that it was no longer available. This is the first I've heard that the Parasound units have that kind of quality in their phono sections. | |
| want to upgrade music performance in HT syst. I agree with the above advice but would add one thing I have not seen above... I own Krell equipment and Transparent IC's and Speaker cable (all two channel stuff). I love these products. I owned Transparent super balanced cables and then audition... | |
| 2 Channel pre-amp...where to start... My Krell KRC-3 has HT throughput. I love it. | |
| Anybody try the res audio opus 21 yet? Everyone is waiting for the Opus 21 to begin shipping. I talked to Jeff Kalt on 4/15. The first Opus 21's have not shipped yet. The new projected shipping date is 4/22 or there-abouts. | |
| Recommendations for a Digital interconnect. Have you thought about Theta's own balanced digital cable? I compared it to many (however not the Orchid) and found it to be superior to many more expensive cables (with my Theta gear). I used it with my PB IIIa and Basic II. I have one if you wan... | |
| New Resolution Audio Opus 21 Yes, I too have talked to Jeff Kalt at Resolution and have ordered my Opus 21. They are only selling direct. | |
| Have you ever collected on insurance???? In short, I had a terrible time collecting from UPS on an amp that was fully insured but arrived DOA. They had even inspected it at the UPS drop-off center. I now use FedEx ground as much as possible. Fed Ex also gets the COD check back to you in ... | |
