| Meridian 861 v4 or classe 800 for movies?? Don't agree my nephew had an Anthem processor and then got a Classe. No contest the Classe was better the Anthem was thinner in midrange and more aggressive. | |
| Parasound C/BD BELT Drive CD transport Bob Timbre DAC's don't come up very often, keep looking they are worth it. My friend is getting a Yamamoto Sound Craft D/A next week and will compare to the Timbre. I will report my findings. | |
| Parasound C/BD BELT Drive CD transport I have a CEC Model 1 transport and a Timbre TT-2000 Dac. The two together sound wonderful. The transport is very analog like. My friend has the Esoteric P700 transport and that to me sounds more mechanical. | |
| Mods for ARC preamp / amp This logic does not buy with me. If you don't like the house sound of say an Audio Research Ref 5, try an Allnic or other brand at this price level. With the new component more liking to your taste you did not spend to modify, did not lose your wa... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Also look into the Basis Vector Arm. A. J. Conti use to distribute a well known linear tracking arm and he feels his arm sounds much better than a linear tracker. | |

| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S The Silver high output. I bought the Universe 5 months ago in the low output with copper windings. I have not mounted it yet. I purchased the VAC Phi 300.1 monoblocks and the sound I am getting with an old Timbre Dac and CEC model 1 transport is s... | |
| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S From my experience with the original ZYX 1000, the sound was a little on the warm and polite side and not the most extension on top. When I hit the 75-100 hour mark things changed. The cartridge became more open and detailed. You are in for a surp... | |
| For Basis TT owners does the VPI SDS work? I have the original Vector arm which is copper from Discovery Cable. I have always loved the Discovery cable for tonearm wires. | |
| Audio Research DSI 450 vrs. HD 220 against all tu The sound was aggressive, foward and not musical at all. If this dealer liked the sound at CES I would run far away from him. | |
| Audio Research DSI 450 vrs. HD 220 against all tu I heard Audio Research new class D amp in their own room. It was awful. They should stick with tubes. I did hear a class D amp that sounded wonderful and it happened to be an integrated. It was the Chapter Electronics Precis 250S. The room also fe... | |
