| Wadia 861 VS Wadia 270 + 27IX VS Wadia 7 + 9 Not a lot to say here...other an the 27/270 is about the best you can get...the 861 is a little bit less and the 7/9 just older technology but likely better than anything is it's price range. If you like the Wadia sound, buy the best you can affor... | |
| What was it about Fi. Magazine? Fi and Ultimate Audio. It was more the writing style. Seems like they were having more fun doing their jobs than anyone else. You could sense the excitement they had while reading the articles...plus it had lot's of reviews...not just 3 like the r... | |
| I need a reccomendation for a CD/DVD combo If you can strech your budget, the meridian dvd, the 586 I think, would be a awesome match. The 596 as well, but I imagine that's out of your range. | |
| Best speaker for medium to low power tube amps?? 2nd of the Virgo's. Either version. The new ones are better, the old ones are a steal used! BAT VK60 makes a nice match. | |
| Best isolation device for a tube pre-amp I've heard great things about the symposium rollerblocks are the aurios mibs. I have the rollerblocks under my cd player...major improverment. DH cones and pads under preamp currently. They help alot...don't know if they qualify as best though... | |
| Reference Ground Set-up? I've run a dedicated ground on a separate line in my system. Big help! It was done all inside the ac box and wall, not ouside via cheater plugs. sounds kind of like the same concept... | |
| Wadia 861 or Oracle CD? I've been reading a lot about getting a Sony SCD-1 and getting it modified via Richard Kern. Some folks are raving about it on Audio Assylum. I've had a 860 before. It's a good machine. 861 is a little better I'm sure. Add the new Levinson 390S to... | |
| Someone to install a Coaxial ouput in my CD player don't know, try Richard Kern. He does a lot of Sony mods. Do a search here on the chat section for more info... | |
| minimonitor for Bat VK60 mono's? these are not minimonitors, but by the time you add a stand, the size isn't much different. Try the Audio Physic Virgo's. One of the best speakers around. If they are to deep (cause they are only 8" wide), take a step down in their line. I had a s... | |
| CD/DVD Tweak ? I've used a bright star audio little rock. The weight will help on a air suspension type of platform. The little rock also has something in it to help control RFI.The more weight on a air platform usually equals lower resonance point...a good thin... | |
| Matching Wadia CD players to amps I agree with the above that the 850/86x are much better than 830. Can't comment on the 831. With regards to direct connection, I had a 850 connected to a BAT VK200, then a BAT VK60. Loved it. Then my dealer talked my into bringing a BAT VK50SE pre... | |
| BAT 3i or AR LS-7?????? The LS7 is fine, however the BAT 3i with the VK60 has wonderful synergy. If you like the amp, the preamp will only increase your satisfaction. That's a great amp...the balanced cables will belp some. | |
| Driving SF Extrema with one BAT VK-60 ? I'll have to 2nd tireguy's opinion. I have one VK60 driving Wilson Watt 6's. Most everyone says this is a very difficult load. Impedance is 4 ohms and dips lower than that at certain freq's.I'll take more one day, either a 2nd vk60 or the new vk75... | |
| Got BAT VK-60 ...now what? I have a Bat vk50se, vkp5, vk60. I use powersnake viper ac cables. Also like the Electraglides with the BATs. I use a cinepro 20 on everything but the amp. Really helps.Dedicated 20 amp, iso ground ac lines are a must. Biggest bang for the buck ac... | |
