| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group I agree that the set-up documentation and proceedure listed in the Tact users guide needs alot of work. I also have the TacT 2.0 DA. I use a Sony 9000ES for a transport through a Harmonic Tech digital coax cable to the Tact. The Tact analog output... | |
| Speaker Fetish I know what you mean. Just when you get your dynamic driver speakers sounding as good as they can you start to think....mmm...I wonder if I could get even better sound if I get ribbons or maybe even some electrostatics! It never ends!! If it's not... | |
| Transport for ML360S? I gave up waiting for the SACD section to sound better than the cd digital output decoded by a separate decoder.I use an MSB link dacII and it still KILLS the SACD from the Sony analog outputs!!!!!!!!! I guess I expected too much from the Sony. Th... | |
| best tube preamp with bypass for HT If you want the "Best" bypass there is only one choice, the VAC Standard preamp. When you switch it over to "Cinema" you completely bypass the preamp and the signal flows directly to the amp. The switching is so complete that you don't have to eve... | |
| Sony 9000 ES SACD output stage cold I think that if the Sony's (9000ES) analog output stages could be upgraded it might help the sound quite a bit. I know that the MSB output stages are somewhat "tweeked" and I'm sure that's why many who use the Sony as a transport with their MSB ar... | |
| Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help WoW I didn't realize what a large response I would get on my original question!!!! Well I'm glad so many of us are buying the Sony 9000ES. Maybe more SACD titles will be available if we all demand it! But, now that we have this Great unit (For the... | |
| How good is MSB Link III? I have an MSB Link dac II and use it with the Sony 9000ES.Right now the MSB and the internal dac in the Sony are about the same. I really don't see to much advantage in an MSBII or III with out going to all the extra mods and after you add all tha... | |
| Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help Thanks to you all for your responses!!I did burn in the sacd section for another 72 hours and it did make a difference, now the sound is as good as what I get with the MSB dac and the cd analog output is now within 95% of the external dac. I think... | |
| Martin logan prodigies I've heard the Prodigy at the last CES show. It was driven by the big krell mono blocks, I think they were 600watt. The sound was very dynamic but I think they were over driven too much of the time just to show how dynamic they could sound. The im... | |
| Sonic frontiers Line 3? vs. BAT? The BAT VK5i pulls it out and wizzes all over the SF 3!!!!! The BAT is where it's AT!!!! | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations I've owned the Evo amp also and to get the best sound out of it you will have to go with a tube pre amp. The ss pre amps will not give you the 3d sound. The CJ pre amps would work well with it, the BAT VK30SE does not! | |
| CJ Premier 11A w/ CJ17LS or Premier 14? Gino, Which CJ do you now own, the 17LS or the 16LS? How would you describe the differences between the 16LS & the 17LS?????? Thanks / Darrell | |
| Hybrid: pro's and con's? Remember that the 6922 input tube is also what Randy White uses in his Llano Trinity S-200 amps. I have not heard the Lamm amps myself but, everyone that has bought them seems to think they get the best from tubes (midrange & highs) and ss (ba... | |
| Counterpoint SA 220,Comments anybody? The 220 kicks ass. It is one of the best sounding hybreds out there. It has the classic "Counterpoint" sound which is deep bass, clean highs, and deep soundstage. You can't beat a used SA220 for the money. Just don't go crazy and spend thousands t... | |
| SACD vs. DVD-A and Audio DVDs I also have a Muse 9S DVD/CD player and notice also that the newer cds do sound much better than they used to. I'm sure part of that is the upsampler in our Muse players and the fact that the cds are mastered better. I did hear the Sony SACD playe... |
