| I can't really hear a big difference I had a similar digital experience. I compared pretty much all the big name players you read about her on audiogon. They all sounded different from each other but the difference between any of them and my 10 year old Philips CD80 was not as great ... | |
| Pre-amp questions for SCD-1 & EMC-1 I second Jfrech recommendation concerning the addition of a tube preamp. I use a CJ premier 16ls (tube) and a mf 2500 amp (ss) and find the music to very open/air with a large soundstage. The remaining part of my system consists of Thiel 3.6's, au... | |
| AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it I have had no problems with my scd-1 playing cdr's even my 11 year old philips cd-80 plays them with no prblem. I use what ever blanks are on sale and burn them on my dell computer. I second everyones concern about the audio aero I auditioned one ... | |

| Commercial wire for AC dedicated lines I used 10/2 romex for my dedicated lines (75ft.) with 20 amp breakers. Marty9876 has some good suggestions. | |
| Audiogon Members I agree this is a great site; it has cost me more money than I care to admit but soooo what. Thanks everyone and enjoy the music. | |
| Review: Sony SC-D777es CD Player I have a SCD-1 and support the opinions being made here. On redbook CD it is a very good player. The digital filters allow you to customize the sound to the type of music you are listening to. On SACD the player is simply outstanding. There is IMO... | |

| My EMC-1 24 192 experience What amplification are you using? I have an scd-1 and utilize a Conrad Johnson Premiere 16lsII (tube) pre-amp and MF2500 (SS) power amp player thru Thiel 3.6's. Upon comparing the two players emc-1 and scd-1 I thought the scd-1 held its own very w... | |
| Thiel 3.6 vs. Dunlavy SC-IV/A You need to go listen for yourself you are asking for opinions and you must realize that is exactly what they are opinions. Thiel and Dunlevy are both outstanding products but ultimately you have to be satisfied with your decision. However, that b... | |
| Suggestion for Amp to 2 ohm loads? I drive a pair of Thiel 3.6s, that are pretty inefficient and are said to go down to around 2 ohms, with a Conrad Johnson MF2500. | |
| Best CD Player under 2k ? I would look seriously at the Cary 303/200 for standard redbook or if you want SACD capability, and I think you should seriously consider it, the sony xa777es(new at odde brothers) multichannel or scd777es(used) two channel. The high resolution fo... | |
| Tubelike solid state: Ayre Vs Aleph The Conrad Johnson MF 2500A (IMO) comes about as close to tube as you are going to get with a ss amp. I hear CJ has some new premiere ss amps coming out soon, if not already available, not sure how they will compare to tube. I have heard that Pass... |
