| Schroeder Model - 2 Dmailer - Just spoke to Thom and will work with him on the Schroeder. Sirspeedy - Thanks for the advice on the Graham. I neglected to mention this has the upgraded Graham cable that I think sells new for $750. I don't know if this makes a differen... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Jsala,What brands of cable did you try? I'm using CRL Silver on my TRL modded transport, but am curious as to what others are experinecing with other brands. | |
| Which DAC? SFD-1 MKII/Bel Canto DAC1/MF A3.24 Evan,www.audiomirror.comVlad is out of stock right now which is why his ad on Audiogon is not running. He is gearing up the next production run. His website is light on marketing, but the description of the D1 and the benefit of filterless and non... | |
| Which DAC? SFD-1 MKII/Bel Canto DAC1/MF A3.24 It was the Bel Canto 2. I also listened to the Shigaraki 4715. Both of these DACs are in the $1400 - $1500 range new. The Benchmark DAC 1 and MSB Nelson Link III, both $995 new. The Audio Note 1.1x and 2.1x ($2000 - $2750 new). Of all of these onl... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 What differences? Seriously, I can barely tell these days without straining my ears, both with vinyl on my SOTA Nova (Kuzma Stogi, Benz M2) and my Revox B77 (reels). The digital still comes across with less ambience, but perhaps a tad more detail ... | |
| Which DAC? SFD-1 MKII/Bel Canto DAC1/MF A3.24 In addition to your existing options you might want to consider a non-upsampling filterless DAC like the Audio Mirror D1 for $499 new. I have heard the Bel Canto and while it is a fine piece of equipment I was not impressed with it versus others I... | |
| Musical Fidelity X-10 Tube Buffer Stage Decware makes an item like this as well. It's called the ZBOX. I just bought a phono stage from them on a 30 day trial and saw the ZBOX while surfing their pages. I used to own the X-10 and it worked well with my Quad 77 CDP. When I upgraded my di... | |
| Want to experience tubed CDP? I have heard a lot about Vincent products and a friend of mine who is a dealer in Denver sells their products. I saw the CD player in one of his listening rooms and we gave it a trial run. It sounded very good and looks good as well.I have heard t... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Hchi,On my latest transaction from TRL I was suprised to find some extra goodies in the box. There were some music CDs from Paul's recording company and a bottle of Shine Ola, Brian's creation that is an excellent CD cleaner that leaves no residue... | |
| audio mirror dac Be advised the price on the website for the DAC is listed at $999.00. It sold on Audiogon for $499.00. Vlad usually runs the ads here pretty frequently. | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Jsala,I'd be interested in your opinion of the sound post burn-in. I've been holding off trying it. | |
| SOTA table owners- getting upgraded Nrchy,I'd be interested to learn what you find out as well. Sirspeedy - Today I had to reposition my pump/power supply because of hum issues. I also am now using a PS Audio xSteme Statement pc on it and have removed the ground pin. Everything is n... | |
| Copper vs Hybrid differences My experience is silver is highly detailed and analytical, while copper is organic. I experimented with the hybrid Python bi-wire cable from Alpha Core which I did not like as much as their MI-2 copper cable in a single run. The hybrid was a littl... | |
| Need help with finding a new phono stage. C123666,Thanks for the suggestion. I went to the site and looked at the various models. The 1.5 is the one most similar to my needs. I think I may give Decware a shot along with the BAT and Eastern Electric, all of which I can get on 30 day trial. | |
| SOTA table owners- getting upgraded sirspeedy,Thanks for clarifying, I'll look around at some options. I have someone who makes great power cords for me and he may be able to take on this job as well. Also, I run my TT through a Running Springs Audio Haley. I just boxed up my PS Aud... |
