| How many DVDs/CDs/LPs do you own? close to 1000 cd's and about 250 LP's that are in storage due to the fact that I do not have a turntable | |
| BAT VK D5SE vs WADIA 861 I have owned both the Wadia 850 and currently a Wadia 860x and have heard the BAT gear which is great, but when it comes to a cd player the Wadia is the way to go. I can't imagine you would be disapointed w/ a Wadia, especially an 861. Listen for ... | |
| Coping in an Age of Uncertainty After contimplating what direction I was going to go regarding my digital front-end, I decided to go w/ a Wadia 860x. Not only will it decode 24/96 through it digital inputs and serve as a great digital preamplifier, through Wadia's proprietary so... | |
| Top Ten Interconnects of all time... Have had many different IC's including SPM and must say I really like the Harmonic Technology Pro Silway Mk. II. I personally believe that they are sometimes discounted as "the best" due to their price. One must remenber that system/cable matching... | |
| Stands Target R2, Atlantis Ref 21 Or.? Check out the Studio Tech Hifi Series. They are identical to the R series Targets and retail at $349. I just purchased a pair for my ProAc 1sc monitors and have been very satisfied. Good Luck... | |
| Levinson 331 upgrade to 331.5 Check out Larry Greenhill's review in the Sept. 99 Vol. 22 No. 9 Stereophile where he reviews the 334. He specifically talks about how the 331.5 relative to the 334 and 331. BTW, I am a very satified owner of a 331 as well. Good luck... | |
| Help to chose equipment rack The Contour Racks are great and can be filled w/ lead shot or sand (I use shot which is much easier to fill). I have had great success with my Contour rack using Sumposium isolation bases. Plus the Contour stuff looks great. I would also highly re... | |
| Performance opinion of Wadia 850??? I had a Wadia 850 for about 7 months and thought it was the best player I had heard in its price range. I recently upgraded to an 860x and yes it is a more refined player but I would still highly recommend an 850. I agree w/ Ivanj, to get the abso... | |
| Wadia 830 or Transport/DAC Go w/ the 830 and if you are lucky you can find one with digital inputs w/in your budget. | |
| Krell KAV300cd Vs. Wadia 830 I have had a KAV300 in my system for a brief period of time as well as an Wadia 830, 850 and an 860x which I currently own. The KAV300 was by far my least favorite. | |
| Plinius vs Sim Moon vs Ayre Check out the Levinson 331 (dual mono 100 watts) or the new version 334 (dual mono 125 watts). Definitely worth a listen. The 331 can be found used between $2500-$3,000. The 334 is substantialy more and lucky to find used. Good luck... | |
| Album of the year? Keb'Mo' / The Door Coldplay / Parachutes | |
| Upgrade Time Again.... please help Mark Levinson 334 all the way. If you need more power go w/ the 335 or 336. I have only heard the 334 and 331. Jeff Rowland would also be a great choice. But from what you described you are looking for I would go w/ the ML. Good luck... | |
| Harmonic Tech Pro-9 speaker cable I have been running the Pro 9's with great success in my system which consists of a Wadia 850 directly connected via balanced HT ProSilway MkII to a Levinson 331 (100 watt). I have been tempted to try the Golden Refernce or Golden Cross Cardas cab... |
