| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement Hi Steve: I have a S7i myself - great great machine. But my airbearing Micro Turntable easily puts that cd-player a shame. Nevertheless: S7i - by far the best sounding one box red book player I´ve owned. | |
| Turntables better than a Wadia 861SE w/ Statement Any SX Series Micro turntable easily outperforms any red book cd-player I´ve heard until todate (Wadia, Accuphase, Esoteric, dcs...). You can´t go wrong with these. | |
| Wadia 381 IC and PC Electraglide Epiphany X: great clarity and transparency and width. Shunyata Phyton CX: adds stability. | |
| Best Phono Cable for SME Series V Great improvement at very low costs is to replace the stock SME V headshell leads with high quality ones: I swapped the standard ones and installed Ortofon LW1000S - huge improvement for just 120,00 US $ !! Regarding the tonearm cable: I´ll try No... | |
| Best Phono Cable for SME Series V Hi Nsgarch: my SME V is from 2008. Regarding the headshell leads Ikeda silver wire was highly recommended to me by a dealer. I have talked to Chris from Stereolab - they do not officially build tonearm cables.Given the excellent reputation of the ... | |
| Esoteric X03SE vs Ayon CD-2 or CD-5 Audiojudge: have you ever compared the CD-5 to Wadia 381, Emm Labs CDSA SE or Audio Aero Prestige SE - all players which have got an excellent reputation too ? | |
| Best Integrated, period. Boulder 865 | |
| Wadia 381 vs. dcs Puccini vs. EmmLabs CDSA SE Thanks for your input so far. Will wait for the S7i to come (just placed a pre-order) as this device is according to Wadia their by far best one box offer. | |
| Consensus Audio Magma? Boys: funny blog.. kidding.. As far as I know there must be another UK based dealer - don´t know if he is based in London area but you should google for Mediatakeaway - seem to be pretty nice folks (I have already dealt with them).Absolute: never ... | |
| Consensus Audio heaven Coming back to the topic: the Consensus speakers are great value for money and easily compete with products at twice their price. Depending on your music taste and romm size and quality standard you could be very happy with their entry level model... | |
| Wadia 381 vs. dcs Puccini vs. EmmLabs CDSA SE Mike: the trouble is: in germany I do not know of any dealer for the MP Designs player. As you can see from my system I use a very high end turntable as well :-) | |
| Wadia 381 versus Wadia 861 / SE Wadia 381 is better on red book than 581SE and 861SE. | |
| Great phono pre I have uploaded a stock picture of the two box Antares phono pre (on my virtual systems site). | |
| Great phono pre T-bone/ Bombaywalla: as the owner is quite a "genious" he doesn´t spend to much time on updating his homepage or product litrature. The waiting list for the Antares CP-1i V4 is very very long - I know of people who were waiting 30 weeks for their ... | |
| Great phono pre I all. I´ve just bought a very very fine phonostage even surpassing the nagra´s. It´s a very very hard to get (as the designer doesn´t really care about time and production issues) Omtec Antares CP-1i V5 phonostage. At a dealers show room it bests... |
