| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Thanks Rhyno,Dan was a bit vague when I asked him about the comparisons between the two tube-modded players, although in fairness that was a few months back--probably before he was able to make definite conclusions. I'll stick with my original pla... | |

| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 I have a 9100ES SACD / DVD Modwright Platinum mod. I'm quite happy with it, but am thinking about Blu-Ray, and thus Oppo 83SE (perhaps with Dan's tube mod). Any thoughts regarding the tubed ModWright Oppo vs. tubed ModWright 5400ES? If I had a fat... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player I haven't heard this particular Sony, but I have two thoughts to add: ONE, ModWright really loves this player and calls it the best SACD player he has modded yet. Unlike the Sony 9100ES, which is DVD / SACD, the circuitry in the 5400 is relatively... | |
| Any one else like the class D ICE power amps? Tgrisham,My experience is very much like yours. I am running a highly modded Jolida Music Envoy pre and a Modwright / Sony 9100ES disc player (Platinum Sig. Truth mod), Maggie 3.6s and my Murano P-1000s+ monos (identical internally to the Bel Cant... | |
| Any one else like the class D ICE power amps? Yes, Chadeffect...I agree that Bel Canto does ICE power right, and I like pretty much everything they make, for that matter. I hope my comments didn't imply anything to the contrary. For the "newbies" to Class D, however, a good starting place may... | |
| Any one else like the class D ICE power amps? I am running Murano P-1000S+ monos in my system with Maggie 3.6 speakers and I LOVE them! Murano Audio is (was) a Taiwan-based company using the B & 0 ICE Power modules. I agree that paying huge money for Rolands (or even Bel Cantos for that m... | |
| 12AX7A and AT7 tubes Oops, that's Mullard 8162, which is a mil-spec tube, as I believe is the 6201... | |
| 12AX7A and AT7 tubes Addendum...I'm hearing GREAT feedback regarding the New Sensor (?) reproductions of NOS Tung-Sols, Mullards, etc. Worth checking into since you need more than 2-4 tubes... | |
| 12AX7A and AT7 tubes I posted regarding "best tube choices for Jolida Music Envoy preamp" a little while ago. Great comments above, guys...yes, the Mullards are generally warmer, and the Teles, Siemens, etc., a bit more detailed and analytical. I LOVE the combo of Bug... | |

| Best tube choices for Jolida Music Envoy Byegolly,Your rather unorthodox "upgrade" may be cost-effective, but with a significant trade-off: LESS than spectacular sound 353 days out of the year! (And I'm assuming the wine is cryo-treated Boone's Farm?) Jolida is one of the best values in ... | |
| Amp recommendations for Maggie 3.6? Thanks, Paul...great praise for the Butler 2250. It's looking like a sweet deal... | |
| Amp recommendations for Maggie 3.6? Mrtennis and audiokenis--re: "bright" vs. "warm"...What I loved about the Maggies from the first demo (with SS Musical Fidelity equipment) was their sheer resolving power. They never sounded "top heavy," "bright," or "fatiquing." However, the ribb... | |
| Amp recommendations for Maggie 3.6? Thanks, everyone for your feedback on amps for the Maggie 3.6--my choices are narrowing, which is a good thing. Lots of happy campers with the JC1 / Maggie combo. Also, mostly great response regarding the Wolcotts. It will likely come down to pric... |
