| DCS reading problem Hi KC,It doesn't sound encouraging. I have one idea left - are you testing it with a commercial CD or a burnt CD?I don't know specifically that the Verdi won't play burnt CDs but I would never use one while diagnosing a reading problem. By using a... | |
| DCS reading problem Hi KC,The dCS transports are a bit cranky in that they take their sweet time to do things and don't like to be interrupted in the middle of the process. If you do interrupt them, they get sulky and refuse to obey commands until they are rebooted.I... | |
| DCS reading problem Hi KC,You need to give us more information on what you mean when you say it won't read CD. Do you mean you don't get sound out from CD or literally that the CD is not read?Does the La Scala display errors? Do you get the TOC messages when the CD i... | |
| tesla ,audience power conditioner comparison Hi Mehrakrishan,You will get many different opinions on power conditioners.Here's my experience. I live in a group of units in a medium density residential area, with patches of light industry a few kilometers away. So it's probably not the best p... | |
| Mothership - The Inspiration Hi Silverback,I'm not trying to be facetious but neither your first post nor anyone since has mentioned the obvious suggestion - Led Zeppelin.Mothership pulls out the plums, but there is a huge amount of great music on the albums as originally con... | |
| Which is the best high end passive power filter? Hi Melbguy,I'm in Melbourne too. I would suggest you have a hard think about the requirement for Australian outlets on whatever you decide on. Most US manufacturers are happy enough to put an Aust. plug on their cords but the outlets on a conditio... | |
| Musical Fidelity KW500 and speaker match Wilson Sophia 2. I am very happy with this pairing. A key part of getting the best from it was the addition of Acrolink Mexcel interconnects and speaker cables. | |
| DCS 1394 problem Hi Philip,OK, I see what you are experiencing.If it plays SACD sometimes, you have the right physical connections and settings.If the Delius loses contact with the Verdi during playback, then displays "Search", it seems likely that the physical co... | |
| DCS 1394 problem Hi Philip,Yes, I have experienced a similar situation.I have a Verdi Encore made in 2005. It has always been very sensitive to minor flaws and data errors on SACD discs.Some of my SACDs are fine and play through with no problems.Others cause an in... | |
| DCS 1394 problem Hi Psszco2002,You should check the selected input on the Delius, which should show 1394. Re-set it manually with the Input button.I don't have a Purcell so I'm not sure whether its input and output need to be selected. However if they do, check th... | |
| dCS Puccini Clock Hi Joe,If you are looking to ugrade your dCS Firewire link I can recommend the Esoteric 8N-6p-6pi cable (although branded Esoteric it's made by Acrolink in Japan).It may be hard to get although I think the Cable Company now lists it.In my Verdi En... | |
| Difference between La Scala and Verdi Encore ? Hi Sean,I had a hunt around and was able to find the dCS documentation for the Verdi Encore software release v1.10 (Aug 2006).The digital inputs are activated in that release.To quote the doc: "A source menu page has been added to give access to t... | |
| Difference between La Scala and Verdi Encore ? Hi Sean,The main difference is the transport. Verdi Encore uses a Philips transport (it's important to note that this generation of Philips SACD transport is later than the one that caused all the drama for Musical Fidelity, Krell and others).I be... | |
| Musical Fidelity TriVista Hi DrJohn,I just checked my Answers list and one of the threads I mentioned seems to have been removed.The other is "Can I Repair/Replace a Phillips SACD Transport". | |
| Musical Fidelity TriVista Hi DrJohn,There have been 2 threads on exactly this subject over the last 3 - 4 months. I posted on both so if you click on my Answers list I think you can access them easily.Neither of the original posters has posted back to the threads with what... |
