| Nothing new under the sun? There is something (relatively) new that I finally bought into (literally). I just bought a Sony SCD-777ES SACD player. It really is as good on SACD playback as the press claimed! I have admittedly become jaded to all the CONSTANT hype for new amp... | |
| Compare and contrast HCA1500A-4004Mk2-4BST I have owned 2 Parasound HCA1200MkIIs, the predecessor to the HCA1500. They sounded very good to me for their price point, they replaced my 2 Adcom 555IIs..I own an Aragon 4004MKII right now. It is the most powerfull 2 channel amp I've owned. It's... | |

| dis-similar bicables? Why not? I used different brand cables exclusively on my Magnepan MG3.3rs. I just made sure they were the same length. The Maggies always sounded best with better cable on the ribbon/midrange. The bass panel liked heavy guage cable..Daniel | |

| Audiogon Ethics There's an current thread in "Disputes" regarding counterfeit ProAc speakers. I think the serial # should be added as a required field in in ad. To me it is just as important as condition. With all the current questions over transferrable warranti... | |
| What is stopping the ultimate? I would say the Audio press "Elite" are the biggest anchor to advancement. I just received a Sony SCD-777ES SACD Playerlast night. It will be paired with my Pass Aleph P pre-amp& Pass Aleph 2 monoblocs. All these pieces are state of the art to... | |
| If there was Nobel prize in audio... I'd give it to Nelson Pass, Jeff Rowland. Not only are they great designers, they can bite their tongues when Harry Pearson or Jonathan Valin or John Atkinson, etc.say something totally absurd in a review. Now I'm awake!Daniel | |
| Puff Goes the Sunfire Mk II Subwoofer Try setting your processor bass level as low as possible, & the level control on the sub as high as possible. This will minimize the sub's tendency to go into standby mode during a quiet movie passage or musical segment. It worked for me..Daniel | |
| Puff Goes the Sunfire Mk II Subwoofer I had a Sunfire Signature sub with the (same?) problem. It was in my living room video system. The sub was very sensitive to any power surges in the room. I eventually ran the sub only on a heavy extension cord to another circuit in another room. ... | |

| XA7ES, Miles, Cary 301, ARC CD-1?? Direct to amp.. Dan, The Sony has a motorized analog variable output. Think of it as a conventional passive pre amp with remote control.It will allow you to lower the volume & take it up to the maximum output of the player. It does NOT have gain like an activ... | |
| XA7ES, Miles, Cary 301, ARC CD-1?? Direct to amp.. I own a Sony XA7ES. I think it is an excellent piece for the going rate ($900.00 to $1100.00 used currently). It does have an excellent variable out, but ONLY in single ended mode. The balanced outputs are fixed, you must use them with a pre-amp. ... |
