| Upgrade from Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE My friend had the STP-SE like you.He changed to the Cary SLP-03, he's quite happy.This piece came out at $3K, Cary reduced the retail price to $2K. It's a real value now, IMO.Try to audition one... | |

| Is there any real alternative to Oppo?? My friend upgraded from the Oppo BDP83 to the Cambridge.I bought his Oppo, I'm very happy with it.The Cambridge he has does not have a dimmable display.The Oppo players do. This is important to me. | |
| Big Sky Audio to upgrade Adcom GFA-535ii? Nagaworks,I would not do the upgrade. For less money, you can buy an Adcom GFA 5400, which is much newer & better sounding than the 535II.Another factor is resale value. The day after your 535II comes back with the $299.00 mod, it will sell fo... | |
| Choice for wilson Watt/puppy 5.1 internal wiring My local Wilson dealer sold a lot of Transparent cables with the network, specifically to calm down the Focal tweeter Wilson uses.List the rest of your system, and you'll get advice from Wilson owners on this site... | |
| Do you leave the Jeff Rowland Amp on all the time Marty t,I have the Rowland 625. It is on 24/7. I had the Rowland Model 2 for 12 years before this amp. It also was on 24/7 unless another amp was in it's place. Both these amps take too long to warm up/stabilize, to turn off, IMHO.I'd stick with y... | |
| Preamp recommedations for Pass Labs XA-100.5 I've had the Pass Aleph P, X1, and XP-10.I now have the XP-20. I'll admit it. I like Pass preamps.There's an XP-20 on Audiogon right now. If you buy it for $5500.00, you can listen & flip it for what you paid, if you're not happy. | |
| Repair a Sony SCD 777ES? Flip a coin. Those are your chances of a satisfactory service trip to Sony in Laredo, Texas.I sent them my 777 in it's original box.The first thing they do is recycle your box. Then they fix the player on a flat rate schedule.My player came back t... | |

| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? Knghifi,Thanks! I stand corrected. All I could get the other day was the U.S. highlighted in blue. | |
| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? Audiozen,I'd be very interested in auditioning the P-30, or hearing it at a dealer.When I go to the Hegel website, they don't even list their U.S. dealers.Not a good business practice, IMO.As long as they do business like this, they won't get an a... | |
| Krell I've personally seen this on a pair of large Threshold monoblocs with sequential serial numbers.Different brands of capacitors in each amp.We all thought it should not have been done, but nobody who heard them set up at the store could hear the di... | |
| Jeff Rowland Model 2 Dinogb,I've had a Rowland Model 2 for 12 years. I recently upgraded to the Rowland 625. My speakers are Avalon Avatars, similar to your Ascendant.My current preamp is the Pass XP-20. I still have my XP-10.I think you should try either one in your ... | |
| Pass Aleph 5 vs. Pass XA 30.5 / 60.5 Aikidoka,What preamp do you have?The XA amps are truly balanced. The Aleph amps were not. | |
| What stereo amp sounds better than digital monos? Koiman,The Adcom 5802 owners manual shows the following values for input impedance:Unbalanced 105K ohmsBalanced 10K ohmsIf the amp was truly balanced, the balanced value would be double the unbalanced value.Since this is not the case, the amp just... |
