| Searching for power amps with low damping factor. Check out the NuForce - they have a damping factor of over 1000 or something. | |
| power cords for 220v No, as long as the plug fits your mains outlet. | |
| Plinius 9200 or Gryphon Callisto 2200 I have had both Callisto 2100 and 2200 at home. I also had Plinius 8100 (but not the newer 9200) and SA102.Both Plinius and Gryphon have a very distinctive sonic signatures, and a VERY different ones at that.Gryphon is a typical #1 flavor (i.e. ve... | |
| Brandnew WADIA Decoding Computer I have seen one at CES. the retail is US$27k. The matching transport will follow. They also introduced 2 new SACD players, that look similar to 861. | |

| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? Was the Halycronics worth the (high) price of admission ? Don't you think that spending that money on other components could be more beneficial (you could buy a better pre, amp, speakers etc.) ? | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? Tbg - I think that absorption is not exactly the same as coupling to the ground. What we would need here, is not absorption, but some kind of mechanical diode (if such a thing exists) which would only let the vigrations travel in one way (from equ... | |
