| Mark Levinson 380 to 380s upgrade? I wouldn't write off the SACD yet. It appears they have the lead over DVD. I listened to SACD at the Hi-Fi show in Chicago almost two years ago. I was ready to buy then. But, I don't have the money to drop on a potential Betamax. Now that it appea... | |
| Patricia Barber and Stereophile I goofed. Premonition is not the name of one of PB's albums. It is the name of the label she has recorded on. the other album I have is Modern Cool. Sorry gang. Doug | |
| Mark Levinson 380 to 380s upgrade? I went through the upgrade this past fall. I went from the ML 38 to the 380S. There was a tremendous difference. The soundstage opened up and became more coherent. The instruments took on a more defined space with more free space between them. The... | |
| Amp for B&W 802 SIII I have the 801s3's and use a Levinson 332 amp. B&W's typically need amp's that provide high current to really come alive. If you are considering SS think Levinson, Pass and Krell. I can't help you on the tube side, but there are plenty of audi... | |
| Patricia Barber and Stereophile Keep in mind that the folks doing the music reviews on a month to month basis at Stereophile are not the same ones that do the equipment reviews. What this means is that our systems may be provide much better detail and resolution than the system ... | |
| Tinnitus anyone? I have constant ringing in both ears from eight years as a Navy pilot. The Navy checks hearing in flight crews during the annual flight physical. The high pitched whine of the turbine engines powering the aircraft has effects on hearing and eventu... | |
| 24bit/96khz a fraud Generally, (and this is by best understanding, i may be wrong on some of it) a 24/96 dac will convert the DVD 24 bit 96 kHz digital signal to an analog signal that can be used by the preamp. Usually, they will also convert the standard red book CD... | |
| Mcintosh Amps w/ B&W 801'S I have the 801 Matrix III's powered with Levinson amp/pre and they sound great. I have listened to the N801 with Levinson at the dealer, again great sound, but can't afford the upgrade to the Nautilus right now. I can't help with the sound of the ... | |
| Cables for ML380S/ML332/Res Aud CD-55 Ze10, Carl is one of a number of people who interject thier opinion in threads where there opinion is not asked for. Read the request and first four posts. Lakefrontroad (LFR) is asking for specific help with a specific system. It stands to reason... | |
| Krell FPB200 or Levinson 334 ? I have a ML332 with B&W 801's. It is a great combination. If you like a detailed, forward more analytical sound go with the Krell. If you want smoother and more resoultion and more refined go with the Levinson. I listened to both before buying... | |
| Cables for ML380S/ML332/Res Aud CD-55 Lakefrontroad, when I started the cable upgrade process I had inexpensive Tributaries that the dealer gave me when I bought the system. He (the dealer) started me off with the basic bottom level TAL cables. After a couple weeks of listening he mov... | |
| Mark Levimson No.333 I've got a 332 that is about 4 years old. I didn't have any trouble withthe amp until we moved last summer. After the move I hooked everyting up an had a hum in the left channel. As it turned out, a cap was shot. My dealer replaced it and I've had... | |

| Cables for ML380S/ML332/Res Aud CD-55 I have the ML332/380S comboa as well and have been using Transparent Audio Labs Super Balanced Interconnects and Super Speaker Cables. I am planning to upgrade to Ultra soon. The sound produced by this combo is fantastic and I listened to many cab... | |
| amp for B &W 801 As you have read in many responses you'll have trouble getting the 801 to "wake up" with a tube amp. They are a wild load on the amp. For that reason you need an amp that can handle the large impedence shifts. Amps that fit this bill are typically... |
