Modwright Elyse DAC input issues
Update. Not sure what happened, but the freguency of drop outs has reduced significantly. My initial impressions were based on the first two weeks of ownership. Two months later (maybe 120hrs of use) the dropout rate is probably once every 90 minu...

Modwright Elyse DAC input issues
Facten, thanks for the response. I’m glad you wouldn’t sell it to the unsuspecting buyer. It drops out 3-10 times per disc, occasionally I’ll get a disc played without dropouts. I just bought a Jays Audio transport when I got the Elyse, thinking I...

Prima Luna Pre vs Modwright LS100
I had an EVO400 int prior to my LS100 with phono. Sound is always subjective, as I feel both sound awesome. The problem I had with the Evo was the remote control volume. I would try to bump up the volume just a little, put it would always increase...

801 matrix-speaker cable
When I had my M801's, I used Purist Elementa Bi-wire. I thought it worked out good. It all depends on YOUR ears tho, try out acouple different types. I would Bi-Wire them with whatever type of cable u get. 
Krell KAV300CD?
I demo'ed one for about a week. Used with my Krell FPB 200, Krell HRC preamp. B&W Matrix 800's with Purist Elementa cables. I wasnt impressed with the 300 at all. The detail is excellent. If there is anything on the CD, u will hear it with the... 
Sheilding Required?
I have my unshieled B&W Matrix 800's about 6" from my rear projection TV, no problems and my speakers have heavy magnets for the 4 12" woofers. I was told u dont need shield for projection Tv's and I would say I agree.
