| no excitement from my Cambridge 840 cd Dabern, this is why most of us audition already broken in gear in our own systems. I know not always possible, but the oly way to really know what something will really sound like. My CD rig took over 1,000 hours to break in. Now, if not for havin... | |
| Musical Fidelity Tri Vista SACD Had the same issue with my kW SACD. MF left me on the side of the curb. if not for my great dealer, I would have been totally screwed. I will NEVER buy another MF product. | |
| HDMI cable made a difference in picture quality?? The power conditioner to TV and cable box will make a difference. I would also upgrade the power cords for both the TV and the cable box. PS Audio makes a nice power cable for the small connector often used in video and not too expensive. HDMI the... | |

| Benchmark DAC-1 vs DAC-1 HDR I ran thr benchmarck dac1 directly into my amp, balanced, and was unimpressed. I think it sounds awesome into my preamp. Into the amp directly, it had no emotion, body, soul. I didn't bob my head, as I do through the preamp. Just my experience wit... | |
| Esoteric X-01 power cord I have the X03SE with a Shunyata Python Vx Alpha PC and am very happy. The PC made my background quieter, thus increasing dynamics. I'm a big power cable,interconnect, speaker cable believer, but I don't necessarilly think cables will give you mor... | |
| What gives? CD’s, Solid State? I don't think you will ever get what you are seeking from the Rega CD player. Digital is too convenient and there's too much content out there to dismiss it(I am a vinyl guy and have a music server but CD's (and SACD's still get alot of playtime f... | |
| Esoteric SA-50 SACD player, Is it for me? Gsherwood53-could be system synergy. I run balanced throughout. I used Tara labs The One balanced & single ended and the sound was, to me, better with balannced. Background was dead black, highs more extended and deeper soundstage. The SE soun... | |
| Esoteric SA-50 SACD player, Is it for me? My Esoteric (X03SE) sounded horrible until I went to over 1,000 hours. It is also very dependent on good power cord and conditioner. Genkides-I wouldn't sent it back, yet. Also, balanced out is the way to go. You do need good IC's. | |

| Any tweaks recommded for under cd player? I think a leveled player is important as well, so the sofa cushion intrigues me. I had the walker audio valid points and replaced with the Finite Elements cera pucs-very happy with sound. I do agree that power cord, line conditioner and interconec... | |
| Is the B&W 600 series a good value? I have the 685's and the 805's. Can't really compare as the 805's cost much more. The 685's (very different, to me, than the older 6 series) are excellent for the cost. | |
