| Anyone heard of Minnesota Audio Labs? Jfh, I bought the amp Ben heard. It is a very nice warm smooth amp. Not extremely open but good top end. I still have the amps (mono blocks) because I have no idea how to sell them. Minnesota Audio Labs went out of bussiness about a year after I b... | |
| looking for upgrade suggestions - 12,000 to spend Ehider, has anyone you know of had any success changing the wire in their Dunlavy speakers? I've wondered if conecting my ultra expensive speaker cables to a five way binding post that then uses cheap wire inside the speaker is logical. Wouldn't I... | |
| looking for upgrade suggestions - 12,000 to spend I would suggest talking to wkendenvir@aol.com He is a great guy and just sent out his newsletter with some good buys. The Talon speakers and Valhalla cables are two thoughts. I don't know what size room you have but you might consider the Dunlavy ... | |
| New format players the future? Lorne, I read your comments above and agree with your feelings on SACD to a degree. I'm very confused by your comments on DVD. From the final few paragraphs I either mis-understood or your confusing DVD-V and DVD-A. A Pioneer DVD player that also ... | |
| New Formats more software next year? 2001 has been a great year for SACD. New lables coming over to SACD every month and more studios mastering in the DSD format. This continues to show me SACD is alive and well. This week I received my Music Direct 2002 catalog, the amount of SACD h... | |
| Upgrading power cord.. proven upgrade? or crap? Too much has been said on this topic already, but..."Those who believe in the benifits are those who have tried. Those who say it can't don't know."I've read countless articals on wires, cables, Opp amps all trying to explain something one hears b... | |
| Problem with my Sony SCD-777ES Thanks Detlof, it's great to feel so welcome. Yes it does give a scare but I figure I have over 4000 hours on my machine (givin burn in and play time) so I'm not complaining. The sound quality is so good that for me it's worth the problem I had. I... | |
| Problem with my Sony SCD-777ES Olesno, this sounds very similiar to my problem. It was not the spindle motor but rather the transport motor on my machine. The early Sony SACD spindle motors had problems I was told, but mine was the other.Drubin, I agree, if your still under war... | |
| Problem with my Sony SCD-777ES Drubin, I had a similiar issue with my SCD-1. It player for a while and then the signal stopped. The counter kept going as if it was tracking, just no signal. It tended to be intermittent so it was hard to figure. I first tried to clean the spindl... | |
| BDR Cones & Pucks with BAT Tube Amp Great to hear another person trying tweeks! I would suggest you try other products too. The BDR (Black Diamond Racing)has always been very good for the money and I still use it on some equipment.I have found Titanium cones (Orchard Bay)and the Wal... | |
| Cable shoot-out: FIM against Valhalla Tekunda, nice job on your review. I too have been trying a number of cables including FIM vs Valhalla. I completely agree with your assesment. The Valhalla tend to be much more open and airy with the best detail I've experienced. I have hoped to w... | |
| Sony SCD-1 balanced or unbalanced? I've been experimenting with this very topic with my SCD-1. In all honesty I can not hear any difference at all! The three cables I've been able to use are NBS Statement, FIM Gold and Nordost Valhalla. In each case the signal (within brands)sounde... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-1 Audiocom-UK upgrade This is the final report from 300 hours to 450 hours of burn in after the modification made to my Sony SCD-1, SACD player.At hour 340 the timbre had tamed enough for me to replace my "Orchard Bay" Titanium cones under the pre amp and amps. This ti... | |
| EMC-1 vs. Levinson 360s/Sony SCD-1 Please, please read my review of the modified SCD-1 posted here at A'gon. | |
| Nordost vs NBS I will be testing the NBS Statement to the Nordost Valhalla in the next month or so. I have tested the NBS with the SPM and found the NBS to have better extension, clearity and detail. I believe the NBS would be an excellant match for the AR compo... |
