| Power Cord for Wadia I have a Wadia 860x and use a Powersnakes King Cobra. The diffrence in sound over the stock cord is amazing. I have it plugged into a P300 power plant as well | |
| Wadia? Should You Go Direct In Or Preout If you email or call Wadia they will fax or email you the voltage setting chart. It requires removing the top of the player and flipping a few swithes inside. | |
| Any advice on CD player upgrade? I think that you are on the right track with the Meridian 508.24. It is very musical and gets all diffrent kinds of music right. Wadia is also a good bet, a little more expensive than Meridian, but you can run it direct to the amp and sell your pr... | |
| Musical system for under $2K? Speakers-Meadowlark Kestrel. Integrated amp-Linn Majik. CD Players-Rotell 955, NAD 502, Rega Planet. Harmonic Tech or Audioquest cables. Bottle of Discsolution. I have personally owned and lived with this system. Very musical and works well with m... | |
| A Call for all ALEPH owners I believe the 1.2s are 250w monos (14k new) the 0s are 40w monos and the 2s are 100w monos. I don't know how the SF gear matches. You could probably get away with the 2s to run 87db speakers, but not the 0s if you like it loud at all. I tried the ... | |
| Best Power Amp for Adcom GFP 750 Pre? Passive mode works fine with the Aleph 3, I actually owned the combo. with the volume knob at 2 o clock you can drive 91db speakers to 100db or so. Active mode isn't too bad, but I experienced what Johns said as well, you lose a little detail. | |
| Resolution Audio Vs. Wadia I did purchase a used Resolution Audio CD50 to compare directly to my Wadia 860x. I preffered the 860x in most areas to the CD50. I especially did not like the way the CD50 handled the soundstage, very unrealistic, no depth and minimal width. I kn... | |
| Best Power Amp for Adcom GFP 750 Pre? I used the GFP 750 with a Pass Aleph 3 and it was a great match. Or if you need more power Aleph 2 monos. The GFP 750 IMO sounds a lot more transparent in passive mode. If your speakers are 89db @8ohms efficient you should be able to get plenty of... | |
| Recommend CD Player with Volume Control Carl-I hope you don't think I was trying to make a fool of you on the topic of digital audio, I'm not and I'm sure you know a lot more about it than me. The main reason I bought the CD50 was because of YOUR rave comments. I'm glad I did, it was fu... | |
| Recommend CD Player with Volume Control Carl- originally I left the player on for a week before any decisions were made. To many recordings to list them all-Yuseff Lateef,Speedy J,Steve Roach,Morton Feldman,Gyorgi Ligeti,Arovane,Deftones are a few. No preamp against the Wadia, just Pass... | |
| Recommend CD Player with Volume Control Sorry guys I'll try to work on my specificity. In my defense knowone else said what they liked about it. I listend to and lived with the CD50 on 3 systems and came to roughly the same conclusion on each. Interestingly I found the CD50 scored the b... | |
| Recommend CD Player with Volume Control I hate to be in disagreement, but I bought a CD50 to see what all the hype was about. I was completely disappointed with it, in fact I found that a Rotel 855 was more enjoyable to listen to. I tried it on 3 systems and it just never sounded right ... | |
| Best used class A amp with Wadia 860x I have an 860x driving Pass Labs Aleph 2 monos with excellent results. The speakers are Dunlavy 4s. Not a trace of brightness or midrange glare. If you really want to hear your 860, put a Powersnakes King Cobra on it, you won't be sorry | |
| Price/performance curve I went over to a buddies house the other day and checked out his system (around 5k) It was great, musical, tight bass and smooth top end. We listened for hours and had a great time. I have a system that is a lot more expensive. When I got home I p... |
