| SACDmods on Sony SCD-C555ES I have a Sony 9000ES with a full ModWright Signature Truth mod and am very pleased. This is the one with the vacuum tubes sticking from top of the player. Both CD and SACD are excellent. I'm a devoted vinyl fan and must say that this is the first ... | |
| Please recommend SACD player under $6K - "warm" You might consider a Sony player with Modwright Signature Truth mods. This includes a tube output stage that some might describe as "warm". I like to call it neutral because warm implies rolled off highs. While this is not a cheap option, it can b... | |
| Speaker cables for panels of Martin Logan Sequel I'm using Audience AU24 on ML Quest panels and they sound great.Happy Listening! | |
| cd burner I use a Denon 1500 for copying LP's and CD's in my home system. I liked it so much I purchased the Pro 550 for live recording at my church. They are basically the same machine, with several added features on the Pro. It has balanced inputs, copy c... | |
| Martin Logan CLS panel distortion Meta,There are several threads on this subject if you do a search for Martin Logan.It is possible that the panels need to be replaced. This is about the expected life, but my Quests are about the same age and still doing OK. You may be able to sol... | |
| Audience cable opinion, anyone? Au24, Maestro.... I am currently using two pair of Au24 to bi-wire my Martin Logan Quests.I began with a single run of Au24 and switched it between the panels and subs. I found that it was vastly superior to my Linn 400 cable. No need going into all the buzz words.... | |
| Sony 9000es v. Phillips 963SA - anyone compared? I have a Sony 9000ES and it has played every DVD-A I have tried. It is probably playing the DVD-V layer. I think the DVD-V layer is 24/96.I'm still a little confused about the difference between DVD-V and DVD-A, but I think DVD-A can play back a s... | |
| Help in Houston.. The only place I have experience is Audio Concepts. Home Theater Store and Tweeter have some good equipment, but I do not have much experience with them.You can e-mail me if you have more questions. | |
| DVD/SACD or DVD+SACD, which way to go? I have the Sony 9000ES and recommend it if you can't afford the more expensive units. Or try the new 999ES. These play SACD and DVD-Video. I've bought a couple of DVD-Audio discs, and so far they also play a DVD-Video track on my Sony. I can't say... | |
| Are two dedicated lines better than one? When I built my house, I had one 30 amp circuit installed for the front wall to use with the amps, and a second 30 amp circuit installed on the side wall for the source components. I can't imagine anyone really needing 60 amps of power. But specif... | |
| Michael Hedges I saw Michael live around 1990, and he was an amazing one man show. With his double neck guitar, he would pluck the bass, strum or pluck the guitar neck, while thumping the beat with his thumb on the guitar body.I have not listened to his recordin... | |
| RCA vs XLR which would say is the BEST????? I recently set up a sound system for an event at our church. I got everything up and running, then finished running some cable. I ran a cable with single ended 1/4" plugs about 20' across the floor. Soon after that I noticed a hum. It did not take... | |
| Aleph Owners - Temp issues ?? 90F I am using Aleph 2's. I do not think you will have a problem and I highly recommend these amps.The owners manual says that the amp has an internal temperature protection of 160F (70C). The manual also says they will run about 25 degrees above the ... | |
| Sony SACD Owners: Anyone Use a DAC for Redbook? I have a Sony 9000ES and a Theta Gen Va DAC. Red book from the Theta, using the Sony as a transport, is definetly better than analog directly from the Sony. I've thought about selling the Theta and upgrading the Sony, but am not sure the end produ... | |
| two channel DVD playback with stereo DAC I purchased two DVD-Audio discs for evaluation purposes. They are the Jazz/Concord recording of Ellis/Pass/Brown/Hanna (HRM 2006) and the Chesky recording of Bucky Pizzarelli, Swing Live (CHDVD222). Both discs play through the 2 channel analog out... |
