| Advice on what preamp to select. Have an AR SP9 upgraded past a MK111. The phono is very good. So @ $1100 good value and get it upgraded further down the track if you have a good tech.Seeing Vincent mentioned, the best Pre-Amp I own and have heard for the money is the Vincent SA-... | |
| Why is an XA30.5 a bad match for Revel Ultima Salon II speakers? I have Revel Ultima Studios and the more quality power I feed into them the better they sound. So I imagine it would be even more so for the Salon'sI'm using Vincent SP998 Mono Blocks and they sound sublime. 300W into 8 ohms, 50W Class A. 600W in... | |
| Audio Research SP9 MKII Buy the original MK.11 with the the russian tubes. If you have a good tech. get it upraded to Mk.111 spec. Then get him to put in dual volume pots, IEC socket for audiophile Power cable, beef up the Power supply 5 times put in russian milspec OTK ... | |
| Vincent CD-S7DAC skipping. Well they replaced the mechanism under warranty even though apparently laser mechanism has only 1 year warranty. I'll pick it up next week. | |
| Vincent PHO-8 I don't know the MacC2200, but can tell you the Vincent PHO-8 is very good for the money. Set one up for a mate and he loves it. Like nearly all Vincent products amazing bang for the buck. | |
| Is there a Blu-Ray player that does SACD and has Audiophile quality sound? The 3 players are Redbook CD players. Realised you are after SACD. Was using an example that you can easily better the Cambridge and Oppo on Redbook so should do the same with an SACD player.The 3 CD players are:Unison Research CDE with optional D... | |
| Why should i be a fan of Revel speakers? Have the Revel Ultima Studio 1's. IMO you need to couple them with really "musical" components. Run tube CD players into tube pre and big Class A Mono Blocks and they come alive. Run them with too much analytical equipment and they can sound a bit... | |
| Is there a Blu-Ray player that does SACD and has Audiophile quality sound? Own a Cambridge BD-752 and had brief experience with Oppo 105, while they are good at what they are, they arn't "audiophile sound quality."I have 5 other players that better them, 3 of by a huge amount. | |
| OPPO BDP 103/105, sound quality??? Not sure about in the States, but in Melbourne, Australia I was able to purchase the Cambridge BD-752 brand new for half the RRP of the Oppo 105D. It was a no brainer at that price.I personally prefer the BD-752, finding it more "musically involvi... | |
| Vincent CD-S7DAC skipping. Yes Bluray, so 2 or 3 lasers, still a rip off though. | |
| Vincent CD-S7DAC skipping. Hi George,Just found a list of mechs. on the Net. | |
| Vincent CD-S7DAC skipping. Thanks George, That looks a readily available laser mech. and cheap so if the issue occurs in the future it's not too costly. The unit is stll under warranty so this one should be no cost. I was just a bit concerned as a new laser mech for a PIone... | |
| Preamp recommendation please.. Buy brand new wth warranty. If you want something approaching a live music experience, Vincent SA-T8. Fully balanced, tubes, under your budget. Comes closer to a live musical experience than some higher priced, highly regarded pres i've heard. Dyn... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Of my 7 players, the Unison Research CDE with optional Dac, is the one I go to most. It is the most "non-digital" sounding player I've heard. You can listen for hours with no fatigue. Really musically involving. Probably more reel to reel sounding... |
