| What's best CD player one piece price no object Second the Accuphase DP75V. I've had or heard many of the above. The Accuphase is in another league. NO other digital that I've heard in the used price range ($5000) gives you the spacial information of the Accuphase. It is the only digital produc... | |
| Preamp better than Cortese? The Silver Rock has no peer in active pre-amps. Twl is correct. If it works in your system, there is nothing better. I will never go back to an active. I couldn't stand the coloration after living with a Silver Rock. By the way, I had a Supratek C... | |
| ART DIO Modded or Job DA48 ?? Regarding Wayne's products at Bolder cable, I have his power supply with Bybees that I cryo'd and put on a stock DI/O....amazing difference!! I'm going to get the mod done later. | |
| consensus on passive preamps? A little late perhaps to jump in on this thread, but I agree with Ultrakaz to some extent. I do like analog volume controls built in to the source component, and have owned many CD players and DACs that allow me to go directly into the amp. I thin... | |
| Any downsides to transformer volume control preamp I have owned three Silver Rocks. The first was a prototype with a two plane ground...two ground posts in the back. It caused a hum in my system, but may have been damaged in shipping. I received a replacement from Audio Consulting that was the lat... | |
| Problems using Western Union Money Orders? Sounds weird to me. Is the buyer trying to cash them or deposit them into his account? If deposited, the bank may hold them for awhile until they clear. That way they have recourse if they are forged or fraudulent. Why would he cash them? I have b... | |
| Power Conditioning, Regeneration and Cords Don't do anything until you have run dedicated outlets to your stereo system...one for amps and one for source components. Even a separate one for digital if you can. Terminate them with cryo treated Acme or similar outlets. This is the first step... | |
| Any new Opus 21 onwers? There have been some comments about the whine from the CD Drive. How loud is it, and does it become annoying? | |
| Coincident's "Victory" spk:beautiful, but... sound?? Clifford is correct. I owned the Victorys. They are a wonderful speaker, and can have enough bass response in a smaller room for most people. But they do need an amp with a warmer midrange. They are very neutral and were voiced using Coincident's ... | |
| 6SL7 the same as 6SN7 ??? Isn't the VT231 also a sub for the 6SN7? | |
| Wyetech, thoughts comments on amp. The Onyx is a whole different amp than the Topaz. Different output tubes, different design, different price. I have heard some negative comments about the Onyx. I didn't here that they were honky, but did hear that they were thin in the midrange a... | |
| Wyetech, thoughts comments on amp. Philefreak:Perhaps you should clarify which Wyetechs you're talking about. Didn't you own the Onyx amps? | |
| 300B king of tubes? Enjoy The Music (www.enjoythemusic.com) has a review of all major brands of 300B tubes in their archives. They pronounced the TJ Meshplates as the best 300B. The Westerns were second, I believe. You can pick them up new for $350. a pair. That said... | |
| Wyetech, thoughts comments on amp. I have a Wyetech Topaz. It is a fabulous amp with the right speakers. As long as your speakers can be driven by 23 watts and has a kind impedence, there isn't much out there that is better. It has great bass power and articulation, and outstanding... | |
| Vibration Tweaks I also have tried many, and the Machina Dynamica Nimbus is the best I've found for turntables and CD players / transports. |
