Stunned by a cable upgrade
Megasam, I have already contacted GTT Audio through Audiogon. If all the cord does is clean up the sound a bit, I'll be very happy. Can't beat the price either. Thanks! 
Stunned by a cable upgrade
Megasam, YOU were the main person to point me in the direction of the Oval 9s and Bel Canto. Remember my e-mail? :) Absolute Power cords? OK, I'll try those too. Will they work with my Monster HTS2000 Power Strip? On which component will they have...

Thanks for the great feedback everyone. If it wasn't for my fellow members, I wouldn't have discovered the Oval 9s in the first place.Sean, I completely agree with you about system matching and personal taste. Just curious to hear what floats your... 
Bel Canto 1.1 - Convince Me.
Thanks Dekay for the review of your DAC 1. I can't wait to get my DAC 1.1. I hope it makes a noticeable improvement over my current setup. Funny you mention the BMI Whale cord, that's something else I'm looking into. New DACs from Bel Canto by fal...

Outstanding post Mezmo. Very informative. 
Bel Canto 1.1 - Convince Me.
Dekay, I have a DAC 1.1 on order. While I have no experience with either version, I have heard other people attest to the sonic benefits of the upgrade that Chelillingworth mentions. Being that I have no experience [yet] with this DAC, I was wonde... 
Replacement for Sony CSD777-ES?
Rmgcy,Is the ESD-555ES the unit that's been released in Europe? The Sony Store does show an SCD-555ES, which is a 5-disc SACD carousel player for $1700. I doubt this would be in the same class as the SCD-777ES, and probably not it's replacement. B... 
Replacement for Sony CSD777-ES?
Hi Edward,The Sony employee online store shows the SCD-777ES has been removed and a SCD-XA777ES has been added. Other forum members have said this new model is a multi-channel, front-loading replacement for the SCD-777ES. The list price for the XA...

Steve,I saw in some of your other threads that you are now considering McCormack as your amplification. I think this is good move. Good deals on used DNA 0.5s and DNA 1s are easy to be had. And if you so incline in the future, you can have Steve M... 
Multiple subs + LFe
I read in Widescreen Review that some of their reviewers run their pre/pro outputs to crossovers that split them to separate amps for their main speakers and a dedicated sub for each of those channels. That is, a sub for the two front mains and tw...

Analysis Plus Oval 9 or DH Labs T-14?
For Megasam's first post I give the highest marks and it show two sixes. For Fonsy66 I do the same and it shows two zeros. Sometimes it shows two twos. Audiogon needs to fix this thing. 
Analysis Plus Oval 9 or DH Labs T-14?
When I rate a post and put "great & great" it shows I've given people a "two". Is that right? I didn't mean to give anybody the wrong impression. Sorry. 
Analysis Plus Oval 9 or DH Labs T-14?
Thank you both for youe excellent suggestions.Megasam, The MF E60 was the predecessor to the E624. It retailed for about $500 new. That should give you an idea of what I've got. I was about a hair from buying the Bel Canto DAC 1.1. At the last min...
