| Dodson MKll D, Levinson 360S, dCS Delius I like the dCS Delius the most, but you would need to go with the Purcell as well. The Levinson is dated technology and probably will not be upgradeable. The Dodson is the way to go if money is tight.The dCS has to have 3 digital cables if you buy... | |
| Tube amps for Maggie 3.5 or 3.6 Atma-sphere, Wolcott, ARC or VTL. The Wolcott's may be the best bet as well as the least expensive. | |
| hum in system, ground loon? 60hz? Hum should probably get quite a bit louder without your preamp or source attached. Is the hum out of both channels? Can you jump pins 2 & 3 on your amps input? If you still get a hum, I would send it back to Victor and the boys at BAT. | |
| hum in system, ground loon? 60hz? Your problem is definitely not with the BAT equipment. It is most probably a ground loop. I had to put a cheater on one of my BAT amps and it solved it immediately. The BAT preamp and amp that you own are DEAD QUIET. All of your cables are excelle... | |
| AR Ref 600s Best for Genesis2? I think the new BAT equipment is superior to the Ref 600s in every way execpt soundstage and ultimate power. The REF 600 MKI & MKII are very thin sounding, tonally inaccurate, hotter than a radiator with bloated bass as well as a huge noiseflo... | |
| AR Ref 600s Best for Genesis2? The Reference 600s will raise the temperature in your room by 20 degrees. They are also very noisy compared to the BATs. Save some money and look at the VTL 750 Reference monos. Much quiter and all the headroom you could ever need. | |
| Best source Best price for SACDs? www.hmv.com sells most SACDs for about $18.50 each. | |
| BAT VK-50SE Pre Amp The BAT VK-50SE is incredible, but I would match Lamm preamps with Lamm amps. If you absolutely have to have a remote, go with the BAT. | |
| Transparent Reference vs Reference w/ XL In the case of the reference cables, it seems that way. There is a bigger difference if you go up to the Ref XL and bypass the ref with XL. You will not be disappointed. | |
| Cable suggestions for EVo 200.2? I have heard the Harmonic Technologies Pro Silway and was quite impressed. If you need any, give Jim Chambers a call at (425)454-2279. He also carries Nordost and is a Bel Canto dealer. He is one of the best dealers I have ever dealt with. He will... | |
| Any opinions on the Dodson 217MKiiD? The Dodson is one of the top 3 dacs in the world, behind the dCs and Accuphase. I would recommend it highly along with a Sony SCD-1 or 777 player which is great as a transport and gives the added benefit of SACD. It is also fully upgradable to als... | |
| Good MA recordings CDs I would recommend buying the MA sampler. It is wonderful and also a terrific introduction to some of the other artists on the label. You should be able to find it for about $8.50 at Music Direct. | |
| Conrad Johnson Art MK.1 - CJ Art MK.2 The ART 2 is much quieter. | |
| Win a power cord. How about the "Power Chord". | |
| Business In Portland, Oregon All of the above mentioned dealers are very good (except for one) with varying manufacturers. The dealer I would avoid like the plague is Audio Gallery. The owner, Gary, is a complete jerk. He has a terrible reputation here and most serious audiop... |
