| What interconnects work best with Audio Research? Then get yourself Cardas or Kubala Sosna wires. They are both on the warm side and have a lot of texture. | |
| Warmer CD sound sought - MCD 301 or 500 or REF CD7 If your CD-7 has only 100h, thet you still haven't heard what it is capable of ! Wait till it hits 400h mark. And def send it back to ARC for a free PS upgrade. I just sold my CD-7 (waiting for CD-8) but this is a hell of a player. Enjoy ! | |
| KRELL S-300i How does it sound ? Dave_b,How does it sound compared to your old 400xi ? | |
| Wilson Sophia 2's on Marantz Reference Dylanhenry,I have to disagree about the Sophias. Not because I own them, but because I have had a chance for a head to head comparision with the B&W800D (so a much more upmarket model than 802D) BEFORE I got the Sophias.IMO, Sophias are much m... | |
| Opinions: ML 390S, Esoteric D70, Opus21, Capitole? AA Prima is not build around Philips CD-Pro2M, like the Capitole. Opus 21 uses DSL-710A DVD-ROM drive (not CD-ROM) which is no longer beeing made and has a proven history of reliability problems. | |

| Opinions: ML 390S, Esoteric D70, Opus21, Capitole? Arbuckle - I'm sorry, I misunderstood your comment. Thought you were talking about reliability, not build quality as such.Having said that, I still think that it has nothing to be ashamed of. Sure, it doesn't have such a nice case as Esoteric (not... | |
| Opinions: ML 390S, Esoteric D70, Opus21, Capitole? I have to disagree with Arbuckle. I have had my Capitole for over two years, sold it to a friend who still has it. No problems whatsoever. I also know several other ppl that use Capitole, and they also have no problems with the player. Capitole is... | |
| ESS Technology sabre32 I started hearing good things about ths dac chipset from DIY foums ... it is already available as a dac/reciever package (no I/V, no output stage) from Twisted Pear Audio.Here is a good reading about some DIY efforts by Lukasz Fikus:http://www.lam... | |
| Opinions: ML 390S, Esoteric D70, Opus21, Capitole? EMM Labs CDSA lacks the variable outs though ... you would need EMM DCC2 dac.I have had both Opus 21 and AA Capitole and would mirror Kurt_Tank comments, although I much prefer the Capitole player. After replacing the output caps with Teflon V-Cap... | |
| wadia i170 meassured jitter level Brianmgrarcom - I'm glad that you enjoy your Wadia. It doesn't change the fact, that if reclocked properly, Wadia would sound even better. | |
| wadia i170 meassured jitter level Talking with one reveiwer in the past he mentioned comparing a couple transports, one expensive, one not, while using a DAC that reclocks and could tell no difference.I recommend reading Martin Colloms review in HiFi Critic. In a 4 page long revie... | |
| The Most Musical Class A/B Power Amplifier?? I second Cary 500MB monos - I have owned a pair in the past, and they were trully spectacular driving Auiostatic electrostatic speakers. Dynamic, articulate, unlimited reserves of clean, undistorted power, with excellent stage depth. Do not heat u... | |
