| Who can fix electrocompaniet amps Sedond, I'm glad you are a satisfied customer. But for my part, I have been considering their latest cd player, but after this thread I wouldn't touch their gear. Looks like it's Meridian for me. I think the treatment that Ligi has received is a d... | |
| Who can fix electrocompaniet amps First I think you've been hosed by Audio Heaven. You obviously got a lemon and they should have stood by their customer and given you a new unit. Electrocompaniet is known to make good products so hopefully they would stand behind it. I would writ... | |
| DVD player as a CD transport? I use a Sony 7700 as a transport, and prefer it to CAL Delta which I also own. I believe some DAC manufacturers recommend using a DVD.Most find that digital coax is preferred. | |

| EVS Millennium II Versus Bel Canto Dac 1.1 I have the P1A/P3A(DWright mod) without the Monolithic PS, and just got my EVS from Ric. Still burning it in but on a preliminary basis it sounds more natural, a bit warmer and more extended in the low end. Haven't tried the P1A with it yet, and w... | |
| Best Sax Jazz Not familiar with Billy Harper, do you have 1 or 2 favorites that you would recommend as starters? | |
| Best Sax Jazz Agree with Drrasta's "Ballads" and as another melodic sample of Coltrane would add my favorite rainy day piece "The Gentle Side of John Coltrane" (Impulse). Even the cd is good. | |
| Red Rose R3s vs. Proac 1sc vs. Dynaudio 1.3SE Be sure to listen to the Spendor s3/5s (around $900), only problem is you won't get any work done you'll just listen to the music! |
