| SACD & Wadia Digital Volume Control Thanks eveyone for the great responses...I kind of assumed that I would have to go the Wadia Analog to Digital converter route but was hoping that would not be the case. | |
| BAT VKD5 or Wadia 830 I also like the BAT VKD5...but the Wadia's just do it for me. Yes the detail, tonal qualities, balance and pure musicality of Wadia CDP's are outstanding. Started with the 830 and currently own an 860x. Both are great players so it would be best t... | |
| OTL Amps and ProAc Speakers Jcbtubes...Thanks for letting me know about the gain on the GM20. I would be running a Wadia 860X directly to the GM20 and would assume that I would be okay since the gain can be set appropriately inside the Wadia. Do you have any experience runni... | |
| OTL Amps and ProAc Speakers Thanks a lot you guys for all the great info! I am looking forward to entering the OTL space...should be fun. | |
| Conditioners for power amps I recently installed a Blue Circle 85.1 into my system. I am running my Audio Research directly into it with excellent results and a lower noise floor. The BC 85.1 is plugged directly into a dedicated hospital grade outlet. Good luck... | |
| Is Wadia 860 much better than the 850? Last year I replaced my 850 w/ an 860x and I agree w/ Jfrench. I found the 860x to be more resolving and more refined than the 850(both were directly conected to my Audio Research VT-50) Also, the 860 has a much better transport. Although the 850 ... | |
| Best a/v rack for under 500.? The Studio Tech stuff is great too. I have a pair of their "hifi series" speaker stands that are basically Target replicas for about half the price. I think they are about $399 retail. Very nice... | |
| Best a/v rack for under 500.? Check out Contours by Vantage Point. Nice stuff for the price... | |
| Better Quality CD's If you like Jazz you should definitely check out JVC's XRCD titles and Fantasy Jazz 20 Bit K-2 remasters (mostly remasters of old Presitige, Riverside, Contemporary, Pablo labels). I would also suggest some titles from the Groove Note label...spec... | |
| Fourplay ...yes please Jazz CD I could not have said it better myself Pefstratiou... | |
| Sony SCD 777 vs. Wadia 830? Beemer, What is your evidence of Wadia's future being a "tad iffy" | |
| Help Wanna Buy Amp Tomorrow : ARC VS BAT I recently too got rid of my solid state amp (Levinson 331) and replaced it with an Audio Research VT-50 and I am now enjoying music at a completely different level. I have heard the VT-100 Mk.II in my system but felt the smaller VT-50 worked bett... | |
| Best wires for a ProAc SPK and ARC AMP I have been running my Audio Research VT50 with my ProAc 1SC's using all HT cables (ProSilway-balanced and Pro-9 bi-wired). I have heard these cables with other amplifiers in my system and feel that they mate best with the VT50. My source in a Wad... | |
| CD Recommendations If you are going to get one Charlie Hunter CD go for "Return of the Candyman" w/ Stefon Harris on vibes. | |
| CD Recommendations Yes, last I heard Don Randi still owns the Baked Potato |
