| Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 5.1 Xronx I looked at your system and it looks pretty awesome as is. What are you not getting from the Cabasse speakers that's driving you to look at alternatives? I only ask because I've heard great things about Cabasse, they seem to be a real "insid... | |
| Ultimate digital sources are more affordable. For good reading do a search for the thread, "EMM vs Wadia", though it obviously concerns EMM and Wadia many other digital gear ended up in the discussion, which is extremely lengthy. Good luck and happy listening! | |
| Which player has all this???? I think that the new Cary 306 can do all of that for you. | |
| Bryston B100 - plastic speaker connection covers? You don't remove them. They are there due to EU regs, I'm pretty sure that if you unscrew them you'll find a space to insert spades, or bare wire. Good luck! | |
| DSD-PCM question I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that currently there is no standard for outputting a DSD datastream. SACD players with a digital out just put out PCM. There are some proprietary DSD transmission interfaces, i.e. EMM labs, Accuphase, and Dcs, b... | |
| Upgrade? Power cord or CD Player? Absolutely upgrade your source before cabling! A good one box player would probably be best, but the Chord DAC64 sounds great and is pretty insensitive to the transport used, if you can find one for $1500, do it! I've never heard the Ikemi but peo... | |
| Powerful Push Pull Triode Amplifiers Yup, how about the VTL 450? | |
| Amateur inherited an audio system... I agree with the above, keep the system and drop the girlfriend. Or better yet keep her and let the system continue to infuriate her! Anyway girlfriend aside you've got a nice little system that if set up correctly should sound very nice. If you'r... | |
| Mississippi John Hurt Also check out "Avalon Blues", a tribute album from a few years ago with a variety of artists. It's really excellent and it has very good sound. | |
| CARY 303/200 CD PLAYER I have to agree with Advent11, if you have all that gear why not just hook it up and listen. That being said I also used to own the 303/200 and it's a very nice cd player. I see no reason for you to not like it, and since the rest of your gear loo... | |
| Do I need a phono amp if I own an integrated amp? Tstyes,Looking at your system you appear to already own a Linn LP12 Sondek turntable. Also you're running seperates rather than an integrated, does your Kollector preamp have a phono input? If not then how are you running your turntable? Given the... | |
| Atmasphere preamps Guys, Fjn04 said in his post that he's been on their website and read the reviews. I think he's looking for actual user feedback which I think is perfectly legit. I don't have any to offer but I'm sure others do, so good luck. | |
| Pre amp for VTL450's and Wadia 9 You could try a Herron VTSP-1a in that price range. I have one and love it! Good luck! | |
| Sonic Frontier Line 1 needs service Try contacting Tom Tutay,at 850-244-3041. He does upgrades and repairs on all kinds of tube gear and he's in Florida. He's super reliable, in fact he's the East Coast repair center for Air Tight. Good luck! | |
| $8,000 budget--Need help Wow, your room is nearly double the size of my condo! Filling a space that large is going to be a tall order, especially at that total budget. Perhaps you should look at an efficient and relatively inexpensive speaker line such as Klipsch. Then bu... |
