| What to consider with used Sota Sapphire?? There are many upgrades for the Sota, depending on age.I'm going to guess you'll pay 2 or 3 times your initial investment, to make this current.You should give the serial # to Sota, & ask them the exact vintage, before you buy this piece.Yup, ... | |
| Need a Solid State Amp for my Montana EPS I own Montana SPIIs. The best (music) amps I've heard on them are my Pass Aleph 2s, or my Pass Aleph 60s.The soft dome tweeters need a detailed amp to sound their best - in my opinion.I've used these amps with the Adcom GFP 750, Aleph P, and Pass ... | |
| Apogee Grand: best speaker ever ? Sogood51,What an excellent photo! I own Mini Grands & hope to buy a pair of Studio Grands, some day. I missed out on the last pair that sold locally here in Phoenix. The Studio Grand is attainable & affordable!As long as Magnepan sits on t... | |
| Hearing affecting soundstage Andy,I have the same problem (intermittantly) due to my allergies. The hearing in my left ear comes & goes.I did own a Rowland Consonance preamp that was the best pre I've ever seen for balance adjustment. You could push right or left balance,... | |
| need help with adcom gear. I agree about the older Adcom sound. You'd probably be much better off with their current MOSFET amps... The latest pre-amp, too.- I own 2 5500s, I admit my bias. | |
| Any opinions on the eAR digital "Ice amp" I owned the 125 watt stereo version. It was balanced input only. It had a conventional toroid transformer. I used it with a Sony XA7ES cd into a Pass Aleph P pre amp.The amp ran cooler than my Aleph P, and sounded (to me) very good. It was an exce... | |
| Best Headphone Preamp Cost No Object Check out the Cary CAD300-SEI. My Cary dealer got his Wednesday. 15 watts SET, with a selectable headphone jack on the front. In my opinion:$4500.00 - expensive!The sound - better at low levels (driving speakers) than my Aleph 3, Aleph 30, Rocket ... | |
| YBA Passion 1000 mono, which preamp to match? My friend had the Passion preamp with the Passion Stereo amp.He's moved on to the YBA Signature monoblocs. He's still happy with the Passion preamp.He's using the top YBA CD player, with Nottingham turntable & Kharma speakers. | |
| Help me tune my Theta Gen Va DAC I agree with Byfo. Talk to your closest Theta dealer, find out if there are any factory upgrades available. Theta does not like privateer mods to their gear...(Warranty or factory service will probably be gone). | |
| refurbished xa7es or scdxa9000es Doug,I'm in the same boat with my Sony SCD-777ES SACD player.It powers up but recognizes (& plays) cds or sacds approximately 1/2 of the time. It has been in the box for over a year. Sony's regional service center used to be here in Scottsdale... | |
| refurbished xa7es or scdxa9000es I'm using my XA7ES directly into a Pass Aleph 3, in my bedroom music system. I would not accept a 9000ES in it's place. What was wrong with your XA7ES when you sent it in? | |
| Don't think I'm crazy but... Check out the Montana XPs for sale here on Audiogon today.They are in a different league than the Thiels, for efficiency. The info link in the ad should answer all your questions. And Montanas sound excellent, in my opinion.*I don't know the selle... | |
| Sex and the balanced interconnect. What amps do you have? Are you sure they're truly balanced, and not just using internal conversion to single ended input? |
