| Upgrade 20 years old crossovers I have Etude MP1. They are twenty years plus old and have compared favorably in my opinion to Talon Firebird and Coincident Total Victory. | |
| Help with decision on selling Sony SCD-1 I have a modified SCD-777ES. It is by far the best red book player I have had. I would modify your SCD-1 and you get almost vinyl preformance out of redbook. | |
| Cost effective mods for a Sony SCD-777ES I spoke to a reputable modifier - xxxx last night. Their opinion was, the SCD-777ES is already good (I agree)and the risk that something happens if one ships a heavy player like this back and forth or breaks by age is too large. Obviously, it is n... | |
| Cost effective mods for a Sony SCD-777ES I agree - Tvad. Mine did not have as many Kern mods as the one on sale know. That is OK. There is no doubt in my mind that the transport is excellent. Playing with different DACs can become a new interesting aspect to get the sound right. A friend... | |
| Cost effective mods for a Sony SCD-777ES Wow. Lots of great advice. Thanks everyone. I am Mr. Conservative. I am very nervous to spend - $1,000 and not be able to get it back when I sell it. I think I will buy an external DAC rather than continue to modify it. Mine has Black gate capacit... | |
| Compare Analogue Productions and Classic records Thanks everyone. Two follow-up questions. I have a few Classic Records and Simply Vinyl records I bought on Audiogon that are very dirty. Where can I send to have them cleaned. I have an ET-2 arm. Do I need to change the VTA for every record? Thanks | |
| Which Tone Arm for Oracle Delphi + Grado Ref? I have tried several arms on the Oracle Delphi. My favorite is the Eminent Technology II air bearing arm. Takes a bit of work to set up. Worth the extra work in spades. Good luck. | |
| Who is a big high end cable manufacturer Thanks for the feedback. Let me add some comments. The reason I initiated the discussion is just this - 3 manufacturers of most cable. 1,000's of different flavors - Baskin Robbins has a long way to go!! Impossible to listen to all. Just the manag... | |
| How to Level Eminent Technology Arm Thanks for the input. I understand now. Let me try it. As always, someone on Audiogon knows!!!! | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 I am a bit suspicious of TRL. I asked if they could mod my Sony unit a few months back they said yes that the could mod the single disk SCD-C555ES. They did not know that it is a changer!! I told them and they said 'Yes, we can mod anything". When... | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 Howie, Are you saying that say a mod like SACDmods or Tube Research to my SCD-C555ES will take me very close to the Marantz level? Remember this is $ 600 to $ 700. versus selling it for $ 500 and buying a new Marantz SACD player. I guess spending ... | |
| Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1 Thanks everyone. Very much appreciate people jumping in. Message seems consistent from those that have the player that it is a top notch one. I am sure it beats my Sony SCD-C555ES "as is" and after the potential Mods. It is still a 2001 player and... | |
| Buy Oracle Turntables I had the opposite experience with Oracle Audio. I purchased a turntable - Oracle Delphi. Did not use the turntable until five years after purchase. Turntable was DOA. They did not offer any warranty at all. Said that I would need to send back the... | |
| Speakers along short or long wall Thanks for the input. You are confirming my thinking. I used to have them at the end of the room 6 feet from the wall with windows. 8 feet apart, but the listening position was about 15 feet away. Everyone told me put the speakers along the short ... | |
| Origin DC Motor in LP12: Marketing or reality? I have now had the Oracle turntable with the Origin Live motor for about one month.Biggest issue so far. Motor noise. Very noisy compared to my old Oracle motor and my AR Turntable. |
