| CD Player w Volume control-Suggestions? See if you can audition the Theta Miles. It has a nice and punchy rythem, good seperation on instruments and is very musical. If you like your sound not quite as much "in your face", then check out the Resolution Audio models 50 and 55. I use a pl... | |
| Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well Cornfed: You can just make a rectangle (like a picture frame) out of wood trim (or whatever) and place the tube inside so that it does not touch the sides. The top of the rectangle should also clear the bottom of the player. This is pretty much wh... | |
| Sony XA-7es and the 777es Someone was just selling Sony Model DVP-S9000 units on Ebay for $1600.00. They had a gold face that was claimed to only be available on the Japanese market. MSRP was claimed to be around $2300.00. Is this an older version, or the Japanese version ... | |
| The best combo under 3K. If you could wait and save another $1K you could purchase and audition the Musical Fidelity AV pre and power amps with a 30 day return policy from The Audio Advisor. If they are on par with the rest of the "A" gear they will out perform any of the... | |
| homegrown super silver as a digital cabl 2out: Seearch under Mapleshade on the ild trheads. I think that I described the Double Heix digital cable in one of them. They are very fragile and odd (they are micro wires in some type of "sandwich bag" insulaton) and should be kept safe from ch... | |
| help with speaker selection! A used pair of Linn Kan, Tukan or Index speakers would work well with your set up as they are designed for close to the wall placement. I have a pair of Castle Isis speakers that also work close to the wall. | |
| homegrown super silver as a digital cabl 2out: I have only used two different digital cables to date. Search the forum for additional info. The URL is (mapleshaderecords.com). I am using the Double Helix and they have a less expensive model as well. I beleive that they have a 30 day retu... | |
| homegrown super silver as a digital cabl 2out: I have extra pair of Homegrown's that are out on loan right now for evaluation by another member at the site and can give it a try eventually. I am still a little confused as I had assumed that a single digital IC is wired differently to pas... | |
| homegrown super silver as a digital cabl The Homegrown IC's are not wired or terminated as a single "stereo" cable. I use a Mapleshade digital IC (that is neither coaxial or 75 ohm) from the coaxial RCA out on my player to the coaxial RCA in on my DAC with great results. I then use a a p... | |
| CD player:Arcam 9 or Rotel 991 Go to the used section here and see if the CAL Icon with HDCD and Power Boss upgrades is still available for $400.00. It is a better player than either at a song of a price. The dealer is well respected in the LA area as well. | |
| Attention Deficit Disorder Audiophilia Sol322: Butting in for Garfish - order all of the CD's that you do not own from the Cowboy Junkies website. If you live in the US, they are in Canadian dollars and convert to less than $10.00 US per CD. I ordered the eight CD's that I did not have... | |
| TV bad why? Ben: Try moving it out just one time if you want to know what it is doing to the sound. Who knows, you may find that it sounds better with the TV behind the speakers. I have a bentwood settee with a lot of reed caning between my speakers and it do... | |
| Cary CD 301, 303 or Other? Best Uprade? Someone had mentioned that Meridian is coming out with an all in one DVD/CD player that will replace the 508.24. If this is true then it sounds like a good piece for your system. | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? Good go Blake: Now you make me want to tweak my tweak as I just used peel off stick on tile that I found behind the fridge when having linoleum installed. I need to power eveything down to work on my cabinet in a couple of weeks and will try it on... | |
| Biamping opinions please. Anyway you do it right it is still going to be expensive, so why not do it with an all Linn system including CD source (Ikemi) and turntable if you listen to vinyl? I have listened to this system one time (with Tukans) and the sound that it produc... |
