Definin' the blues (humor)
Viggen, thanks, beautiful, just beautiful!!!! 
Have you heard SACD?
Steve, you are dead on! That's why I had the 777ES upgraded at Audience for almost 3k, but they did a tremendously good job especially on its analog stage. I am now burning it in and am truly amazed! Cheers!

I wouldn't know about Bavaria, Ozfly, but here in Zurich at least one has remained, though you can harly hear any really good blues anymore. Its a crying shame!! 
A question concerning ethics
Sean, I still think that Jonathan is a very pleasant and likeable person whose hearing acuity I can easily respect, I also feel however, that he should have laid open his afiliations, as others have done in exemplary fashion. I think your proposit... 
Have you heard SACD?
It is Greg, it is! I'm still burning it in and experienced an amazing leap forward in transparency and finesse after about 60 hours of continuous play. Cheerio! 
Have you heard SACD?
Madison, joy to your ears indeed! You are right, SACD is a great leap forward and finally the promise of digital is rising beyond the old snake-oil hype and is beginning to be fullfilled. My ears at least agree fully with yours. The best of SACD s... 
Thoughts on Meridian Digital Speaker System
Very, very impressive, especially in a HT setup. Huge soundfields, huge dynamics, tons of well defined bass, good highs, can play at ear splitting sound levels without distorting but has to these ears a slightly fattish midrange- love handles come...

Bavaria Ozfly? What? Where? That's only a hundred miles from home! Please tell us more! Cheers, 
Have you ever sniffed your AC ???
Slawney, its 6.4cm from the wall to the end of the Quiet Line with adaptor. Cheerio, 
Need help with a Bybee Quantum charger
Dismalonyx, I hope you will not rest dismal for long, with your midrange cut in half. Try the Bybee with plugging it directly into the amp and compare this with plugging it directly into the preamp, AFTER the PS Audio. I would also try the Bybee w... 
Quads or Maggies?
The Magnepan 3.6 is a magnificent speaker, which honours the music. It has plenty of dynamics, excellent highs and a fairly good and punchy bass. It also can play fairly loud.The midrange of the Quad 988 however, is still unsurpassed in transparen... 
Converting from CAMAC/FISHER to XLR connectors
Team212 gives good advice, because if you want to change to XLR on your amp, you would have to drill bigger holes for them, apart from un- and resoldering your connections. Adapters are expensive and especially if you have a high resolution system... 
Have you ever sniffed your AC ???
Slawney thanks, you make excellent sense and I thought as much. That's why I have never used adaptors with "serious" stuff, rather I have resoldered or recramped some of my connections or have used high grade US receptacles in the wall to good eff... 
scd 777es sacd sony mod worth it?
Rcprince, you make a few excellent points. Its a bit early to tell still, but my experience seems to point into the same way as you suggest. Haven't listened to classical music yet, but with the Jazz stuff I listened to, I felt I could get easily ... 
scd 777es sacd sony mod worth it?
Mike, quite a bit, not counting shipping from Europe to the US and back about 2900 bucks! But it seems to be worth it. If you look at their webside, which shows all that they have done with this mod, it does not seem a rip-off, but fairly reasonab...
