| Need some help for Wadia 850 cdp Hello Beemer,Thanks for your input. I obviously was not privy to all that was/is going on with Wadia. My comment was based on my personal experience with the company and dealing with Keith at Wadia. The last thing I would ever intentionally do wou... | |
| Need some help for Wadia 850 cdp Beemer's statement "Wadia has been in and out of business so many times it's scary" is simply not true. Wadia recently moved their manufacturing facility from Ann Arbor to Saline and most of the "sensational" gossip concerning the company stemmed ... | |
| Need some help for Wadia 850 cdp It would be a no brainer for me. Make arrangements to drive it to Wadia since you are so close. They will fix it and make it perfect. And yes, they will work on all their older models. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? The B&W 802 D's with lots of clean power and a 6sn7 tube based preamp...Diana Krall sounds like she's singing live in my living room! | |

| Power and Sound Quality, Other Things Being Equal The higher powered amp almost always is capable of delivering the most satisfying sound, especially at moderate levels. | |

| tube preamps If you have never tried a good tube preamp with your ss amplifier you are in for a treat! One of the best bargains out there right now is the deHavilland Ultraverve tube preamp which can be found used for 1700-1900. I use mine with a Bryston ss am... | |
| Power Cable for Wadia 302 cd I use a Signal Cable sheilded digital power cord with my Wadia 302. I have been very happy...and it is inexpensive! | |
| B&W Nautilus 800 vs 802D I usually avoid these subjective discussions but after reading Mrchips statements about B&W speakers I feel somewhat compelled. The new diamond tweeter technology is a real marvel. The tweeters are absolutely not harsh, rather they are very ar... | |
| Do Physicists Or Musicians Design Better Speakers? I don't believe that it really matters who designs a speaker, i.e., a physicist or a musician. Wonderful speaker designs are created by all sorts of human beings, some of whom happen to be musicians and physicists who appreciate fine sound reprodu... |
