| Preamp with Aleph 5 and Thiels I agree with Pubul and Unsounds about the match between the A5 (which I currently own) and the Thiels (which I have owned in the psat, but not together and a different model). If the A5 had more power and more current, I think it would be a good m... | |
| Mcintosh MVP871 vs Krell SACD Based on reliability I would go with the Mac (vs. the SACD standard, which was/is unreliable and prone to failure).For sound, I would probably also go with the Mac unless you are going way up the krell line. If you are looking current model entry ... | |
| anybody own a KRELL S350A cd player? Yeah, your research should have uncovered this. Just don't let your infant suck on the leaded remote control unless you want to avoid saving for college ; ) | |
| von schweikert vr 4 I had the VR4JR for a while, but never had a problem with the adjustment of the ambiance tweeter. Have you pulled the plate/assembly out to confirm that its still wired? have you lost control or all sound out of the tweeter?finally, is it possible... | |
| Krell SACD, DVD Standard, Showcase, KAV 280CD Jussy, not being much of a video guy myself, I have refused to spend the big bucks on the "high-end" DVD players. I have gone the Oppo route and feel that they are quite good - certainly good enough for my viewing needs. I am such an un-video guy,... | |
| Best analog sounding cd player under 5K Coolhand, is user replaceable transport slang for computer CD-rom drive? I am not giving you grief, just wondering if that is what is meant by that. I have not heard the Unison Research players, I'll keep my eye out.Last weekend I picked up a Levi... | |
| Conrad Johnson, Krell, Creek integrated amp?? Don't know it at all, but anybody who claims their amp (integrated or power) can drive ANY speaker based on 60 watts is not to be trusted. There needs to be a strong caveat with such a statement (such as sensitivity rating of the speaker and stabi... | |
| Best cdp with integrated preamp and remote? Hey Mcintech, Can you send me that Puccini and clock if I promise to listen very careful and confirm your comments?Since you service both, I do have a serious question for you. Raveena Bawa indicated that they were going to have somebody in the st... | |
| Best analog sounding cd player under 5K Don't get me wrong, I think the AA units are beautiful sounding and I truly think everybody, regardless of their preferences for warm or cool or anything in between should hear one in a good system. At the prices they often sell for, they are defi... | |
| Best analog sounding cd player under 5K Jaffeassc, It is written above, by me. My Capitole has broken down twice, but not the transport. The entire STARS system needed to be replaced ($2K). It is currently not working, won't even power up. When I first started having problems I contacte... | |
| Best analog sounding cd player under 5K SMW - I haven't listened to the Ayon players and have only read about the PS audio perfect wave DAC. I have auditioned the Electro EMC and this is a warmer sounding player (vs. traditional digital sound). I had been tempted by this player and woul... | |
| wadia 830 vs 16i Wow, the power of one vote and the conclussions drawn from the single said vote with no comments as to the performance of the 16i v the 860. A huge extrapolation from unwritten data was performed! Must have found the info. elsewhere??? | |
| CD Player with the best Built-in Volume Control... Better late than never - for those doing research for current day purchases:I've owned many of the digital systems mentioned within the various responses. Additionally, I have owned Pass Labs amps (Alephs + a 150.5) and have owned Wilson speakers ... | |
| Best cdp with integrated preamp and remote? Do you warm and tubey or great detail and definition? You can't go full out both ways.I have owned or presently own both the 21 GNSC'd and the AA Capitole player.You will get more of what you want with the AA - it is a beautiful sounding device. I... | |
| Best analog sounding cd player under 5K Finally, on David's comment on the $5K level. All of the units I referenced in my prior posting were purchased by me for under $5K, some well under $5K. Of course, I generally purchase used and assume that is what the poster means, he has up to $5... |
