| Up grade to Dodson 218 ?? I traded my Dodson 217 MKII for the audiomeca and have been very pleased. Darker background. Big soundstage. Better base. You may want to test one out. | |
| Lightning Protection If it hits you house or even very close, ther isn't much you can do to protect electronic stuff. I live where a close hit happens most years. Over the years, I had a surge protector installed by my utility company on our pole mounted transfromer, ... | |
| Beyond SACD with Redbook: Price No Object Cwlondon: I have the Audio Meca Mephisto transport that I originally purchased with a Dodson Audio Dac. I upgraded the Dac last fall with the Audio Meca Enkianthus Dac. These are magic together in my system (Aloia pre-amp, Plinius amps, Dunlavy V ... | |
| Beyond SACD with Redbook: Price No Object Cwlondon: I own both the Audio Meca and the Sony ES 9000. I can tell you that I no longer even look at SACD releases. I never listen to any of the SACD disks I own. I only use the Sony for movies. For the first time, I'm satisified with my system ... | |
| Best Blues Rock recommendations? You've got to get some Taj Mahal. Try his newer stuff but you really need a copy of "The Real Thing". It is live at the filmore with a great horn section (4 tubas included). Also, a really great sleeper is Burton Garr. | |
| rock/jazz fusion Joe Zawinul Syndicate World Tour is the best new stuff around. | |

| Which cd/dv mega changer using an outboard DAC? Try the Audiomeca DAC if you have the bucks. It avoids some of the jitter issues by processing the singal in a unique way... First decomposing the singal, then reassembling it before upsampling. I've used mine with an old ADCOM 5 disc changer for ... | |
| How do you all store CDs? It's 750 CDs today, 1000 tomorrow, 1250 next year... You need a solution that allows for expansion. I use products from CANAM. They are well crafted metal cabinets with a leather like finish available in lots of colors (I chose Black). The cabinet... | |
| Where R U????? Walkertown, NC (the triad area) | |
| Best and Worst Reissue/Remaster CDs Thanks folks. I knew this would pay off... Just ordered Nilsson Sings Newman and Zappa One Size Fits All. I decided against Dave Clark even though I wanted my wife to experience it. Hope to hear more! | |
| anyone? anyone? Check out Can-Am products. Modular steal contruction with textured finishes (lots of colors). Rock solid, reasonble price. Have modules for components as well as sources and solid laminate tops. | |
| which DAC to buy ? I just auditioned the audiomeca in my home last week and bought it. I has a top Dodson. I hear less harsh edges, a more quiet background. I also added a CD transformer. It made soundstage bigger and made instruments seem more destinct with both da... | |
| Speakers for the party system Thanks for all the advice... I've started looking for a subwoofer. The klipsh option would be my first choice, but somewhat more expensive (and larger footprint). I hope to try the system out on the winter soltice. |
