| Preamp Recommendations for Bedini 25/25 I had a 25/25 years ago so I can only share some historical perspective with present day speculation. I had a buffered line stage from Stan Warren (Superphon) that I paired with a Threshold phone stage. I then moved to the matching Threshold line ... | |
| Music Reference RM200 - Running so hot Call RAM as suggested and give them the serial number. They will take over from there. | |
| Creek 5350 SE, Channel Dropout If you are in the US, you can also call Roy Hall at Music Hall. However, CES starts this week, so call Monday or you may have to wait. As for excellent internal wire, I can recommend the OHNO 21 gauge hook up wire from Audience. | |
| Mac with USB Dac For those of you using the Mac Mini are you using a screen and keyboard with it or just the i-touch? | |
| Wadia 781i compared to 581-SE I did the same upgrade as Droberson, 581i SE to 781i. The 781 is many steps ahead of the 581, but at 50% more money. I am now listening to music. The 781 is more of everything that the 581 was, but again the 581 is a great player. The 781 is more ... | |
| Looking to upgrade Audio Note CD-2 I went with the then (2006) standard Aura cap. I spent a lot of time talking with them and they also suggested increasing the value ever so slightly. Also based on that conversation I stayed away from silver. I cannot imagine it getting better. No... | |
| I have a wadia dac w/their cd transport Call Wadia and find out directly from them. Almost all their machines are upgradeable. Also call GNS as Rja suggested. | |
| Looking to upgrade Audio Note CD-2 I still have a CD 3.1X (as my spare player). I changed the two output/coupling caps to Aura caps and had an entirely different and new player. And that was before their new teflon caps were available. This is a 15 minute effort so I highly recomme... | |
| Wadia 581se vs. Meridian 808?? There is a review of the 808 in Issue 8 of Tone Publications. I believe there is referecne to the Wadia 581 (not se) in that review. | |
| Cables for Conrad Johnson and Proac D25 system The DNM Reson will open things up and takes away nothing. I was shocked as I replace very expensive and highly regarded cables with these. | |
| Cables for Conrad Johnson and Proac D25 system If you want to surprise yourself, then listen to DNM Reson speaker wires and ICs. Actually for the price just buy them. Get the original ones, not the new bi-wire ones. Then look at PCs. Concert Sound in Austin, TX is the source for the wires. I h... | |
| Analysis Plus Oval 9 vs Crystal Oval 8 The 8s are very differnt. You give up none of the qualities of the 9s but gain, smoothness and quietness; detail and specificity; more controlled bass and sweeter midrange. Imaging is improved. Overall, more musical and neutral. | |
| new CJ sound compared to old CJ sound I have heard the CT-5/LP 70 and CA 200 and have to say that my immediate reaction, aside from Wow, was how quiet and pure the sound was. I think neutral is a new reality and companies are finally learning how to get there. The new CJ sound is neut... | |
| Audio Refinement Complete owners: please advise I had an ARC as a back up to my back up amp. This was not to say that I did not use it, but rather I made the decision to simply my life. I actually set it up as a second system with Penaudio Charisma/Chara (87 db 4ohm load) in our family room/kit... | |
| Conrad Johnson 140 or 12A monoblocks? The 140 is clearly the better amp without question. It is neutral, clean, effortless and musical. It is simply natural. The Modwrigth is neutral with no edge or hint of sterility. I agree with Downunder it is not tuby and that is how it was design... |
