| Wadia 27/270 vs. dCS Delius+Purcell I've heard both...and own the Delius/Purcell. I've been VERY impressed with dCS gear. I listen to primarily classical and 60's jazz, and have been happy with the ability of Delius/Purcell to unravel complex passages of music with minimal coloratio... | |
| CD Transport for the next 10 years..... Pick up a Wadia 20 or WT-2000 used for a bargain price.....and then get it tweaked by Great Northern Sound. I recently did this and have never been happier!!!! | |
| Suggestions on CDP There are some great deals around on used Wadia gear. I recently picked up a used WT-2000 extensively tweaked. For the price of new stock unit...I got one that is sonically FAR superior. | |
| Anyone has Marsh amp ? I picked up the Marsh from Galen Carol Audio about a year ago and find it to be an outstanding amp, both sonically and in terms of build. It's had no problems in driving the difficult low impedence Martin Logan CLS IIz's. | |
| Marsh A400 vs Bryston 4B-ST If it is warranty and build quality you are after...i'd have to say go with the Bryston. If you want the best sound (as did I) go with the Marsh!! | |
| Firmware changes - DCS Delius or Purcell Here's the link for more info on the upgrade program for Elgar/Delius/Purcell:http://www.aslgroup.com/dcs/ieee1394update.htmThe upgrade decisions are quite complicated. I'm deciding whether to:1. Upgrade only the Delius and not the Purcell. This w... | |
| Lexicon MC12 Probably won't be available until the fall. I hear Lexicon will have a great trade-in program for owners of MC-1's...as they have done in the past. | |
| Best CD Transport in 1K Ball Park I've seen several Wadia transports hitting the market at bargain prices...and have discussed this with several knowlegeable people. Consider picking up a Wadia WT-3200 for about $700 and you'll have about 85 - 90% of the performance you would get ... | |
| Which Wadia?? Yes....my dCS Purcell/Delius is waiting for a better digital source than my tweaked Rotel-971. So far, I've found 3200's for about $800, 20's for about $2000, and a 7 for about $3700. A new 270 will run quite a bit more. While I agree that newer i... | |
| Tact RCS 2.0 with upsampler I have my TacT RCS 2.0 before my Purcell/Delius. Can the TacT accept a signal that is already upsampled?? | |
| Placette anyone have any opinions? I have had the Placette Audio Active Linestage in my system for the last 6 months. I have found it to be absolutely outstanding...and getting better with time. Very transparent and allows for excellent detail. I find it to be better in A-B compari... | |
| Vote for the best speakers in 10K range Martin Logan CLS IIZ's with 2 Vandersteen 2wq subs!!!! |
