| Warning: Sony SACD & pilot error My 9000ES is currently at the Sony repair center in Laredo, TX.An informed Agon member told me that the primary firmware, AKA version 1.3, is the culprit.Chip must be upgraded to version 2.0 or better.V1.3 will not play multi-channel SACDs.I inclu... | |
| Review: Spendor S5e Speaker Hello and thanks for writing this interesting review.Seems like Spendor and Proac get consistently great reviews.I owned Proac 3.8s for a brief period and concur these are great sounding speakers.I sold them because they needed more volume, to ope... | |
| Last night at Chapman Audio Systems Hi Mike,Glad to hear about your adventure.I've experienced something similar a few times in the past.My term for this phenomenon is "paradigm shock".When something is radically better (or different) than we expect, our brain "freaks out" and unlea... | |

| Jadis JP200 and Marantz 7 clones from Hong Kong Wait a minute.This could be interesting.Not that I'm any fan of you-know-who, but why couldn'ta great design be reverse engineered and sold for closeto its parts only cost (plus slave labor of course).I doubt if you could reproduce a 27K anything ... | |

| On a budget 802N or 803D??? Dealer says 803D. Nice review Dr. Lou! | |
| B&W 803D and Pathos Classic One I used to drive KEF Q1's (typical 8 ohm, 2 way monitor) with a mighty Almarro 3 watt/ch integrated (EL84 tubes).I could play them louder than I needed with this amp.I don't see why 80 watts/ch would be "underpowered" unless you're trying to reprod... | |
