Anyone tried/heart Dcca Audio Speaker Cable?
I can fully concur your enthusiasm Renaat. Don's power cords are "magic cords" and Don is the magician :) I have also excellent results with his AES/EBU and balanced interconnects. I think speaker cables in general don't have as much impact sonica... 
FM Acoustics Amplifiers
Gregm, of course I was joking. The fact is: many audiophiles (mostly in South East Asia), but also world famous artists like Yo Yo Ma and late Leonard ("Lenny")Bernstein think FM Acoustics power amps (and preamps as well) are much better than the ... 
FM Acoustics Amplifiers
What is the secret of their good sound? Are the technical people at FM Acoustics and Boulder smarter than the people at Madrigal or Krell? Could Madrigal or Krell sound as good as FM Acoustics or Boulder even with "unlimited" financial resources?C... 
Is my amp "High Current"?
To me the "high-current" label is just marketing hype. Chris 
AMR CD-77
Jusbe, I have an Accuphase C-290V preamp, two Acoustic Reality Figaro class D monoblocs and Dunlavy SC-V speakers.Chris 
How to connect audio system to AC outlets?
Thank you for your response Rushton.Chris 
AMR CD-77
Let me explain first that I'm not critizicing the AMR with regard to it's sound, not at all. It sounds wonderful as I stated earlier. I'm only saying that the first impressions are that of a SOTA CDP with a different presentation than the Accuphas... 
AMR CD-77
Yes, if the Accuphase was contemporary digital gear, but it is in fact oldskool (15 year old design) and the AMR is one of the current SOTA CDP with the latest digital know how being implemented, so it should be superior to the Accuphase. Didn't I... 
AMR CD-77
I've just received the AMR-77 for a home audition. I'm comparing the CDP with my trusty Accuphase DP-90/DC-91 combo. I'm not going to review this CDP, because it is too preliminary and I'm not very good at reviewing audio components. The only thin... 
combining different cables
There is no one cable manufacturer who is equally good at power cords, analog or digital interconnects and speaker cables. At least, I do not know one. Some manufacturers make excellent digital interconnects, while other manufacturers are very goo... 
What is "polite" sound?
Sometimes it could be the other way around: polite sound could be the result of a significant amount of dynamic headroom (amplifier) and lack of distortion. The sound becomes very clean and due to the dynamic headroom one feels never "stressed" wh... 
AMR CD-77
Hi, I don't want to be picky and I hope I'm not hampering your enthousiasm, but is it not better to post when you have a review (whether preliminary or definitive) of the unit than to limit yourself to "announcements"? Chris 
Cardas Vs. Acoustic Zen
Mamhoon, whether you choose for Cardas or Acoustic Zen, it doens't matter much: they are both excellent cables. Don't be too obsessive about that. Btw, room acoustics are much more important.Chris 
Does the"quality" of jumpers affect the sound?
I replaced my single wire speaker cable with biwire one because using jumpers along with the single wire cable didn't give satisfaction. Every jumper I used sounded different. So I decided to go for the Cardas Golden Reference biwire. It's not a r... 
speed of CD tray
Does the Sony have a motorized lid? I didn't know. Some audiophiles prefer to keep the lid open during CD playback for better sound, did you know that?Chris
