| Most intriguing DAC? I have a MSB Platinum Plus DAC, which I will eventually get upgraded. I find I get better sound from using my Esoteric SA-10 SACD player as a transport for the MSB, and using the SA-10 to play SACDs only than the SA-10 alone as a CD player. The MS... | |
| Esoteric SA-10 Drawer issues Any further word on the SA-10 drawer problem? | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music (1) Puccini--"Madama Butterfly":"Un Bel Di " (2) Berlioz--"Romeo and Juliet"--"Love Scene"(3) Malcom Arnold "Third Scottish Dance--Adagietto (?) " | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Laphroig. Goes well with anything. Drink enough and you'll not care what you're listening to (well, draw the line at most audiophile fare--give me real music--Bach,Beethoven, Brahms Debussy, etc). Actually, I love the smokyness--Islay peat makes a... | |
| Reimer Wind River GSs Thanks for the votes of confidence in the Reimer speakers. Guess I should go listen. Patchogue, LI here I come. Thanks again. Best. Jamie | |
| Paul Speltz speaker cables Amen to the positive feedback on Paul Speltz's anticables. I upgraded in stages--first the jumpers, then another length to the Bybee filters which feed the Zeros--what a difference! More and better bass, clearer, better depth--and for $80. NIce jo... | |
| I'm going back to tubes... a question for y'all I just replaced my Bel Canto 200.2s with Atma-sphere M60 MK II.2s (from Audiogon, thank you Steve!). I'd had the earlier M50s and stupidly sold them to replace them with the Bel Cantos. The latter were nice and got my Von Schweikert VR-4s off the ... | |
| Meat Loaf & Jim Steinman - Overview Interesting discussion. Just wanted to put in a plug for Bat Out of Hell 2. It has some really great stuff--"Objects in the Rear View Mirror","I would do anything for Love", "Life Is a Lemon (and I want my money back")and the classic Doors-"The En... | |
| Review: Tact Audio RCS-2.0 Equalizer I, too, recently purchased a 2.0 on Audiogon. It took a while to dial in and was not compatible with my Perpetual technologies P-1A (loud squelching sound from the speakers--awful)but what an improvement! I now have very natural bass--listening to... | |
| Balanced Passive ""Preamps"--any recommendations? Thanks for the answers, guys, particularly Ed's, sice he knows the Bent Audio. Anybody heard the Sonic Euphoria? I read the write-up in 6moon.scom and it sounded good. albeit pricier than Bent Audio. | |
| Review: Marantz Marantz DV-8400 & SA-14 vs. others CD Player Great review. I'm using my Richard Kern-modded SA-14 (Superclock II, Black Gates) both as a stand alone for SACD and a CD transport to my MSB Platinum Plus. Sounds great either way. Glad to hear that someone else appreciates it as well. I'll look ... | |
| Accuphase Clean Power Supply I have not heard the Accuphase, but I have an Exact Power 2000, which I like a lot. Check out the review in Secrets of Home theater and High Fidelity (www.hometheaterhifi.com.) It can deliver more power (up to 2000 watts) than the PS Audio stuff a... |
