| SACD or MF A3 24 DAC? It does a good job with Redbook CD's as well. Not as good as some of the top flight players I have had. An outboard DAC can bring the performance up if I feel the need to scratch the itch. As far as the the $200 Sony besting the SCD-1 and the Musi... | |
| Bad luck W/ Musical Fidelity DAC I didn't have good luck with my unit because it didn't live up to the hype. It did take awhile to break-in and when it did, it only sounded as good as the CD player I was using. I asked the dealer if there could be something wrong with the unit bu... | |
| What is the best amp setup for Magnepan 3.6 ? I've been up and down audio road in the past 12 years. I cut my audiophile teeth on Maggies. I presently have the 1.6's and have used them with, solid state and tubes. I have had VTL MB250 mono's, VAC 70/70 Renaissance that uses 300Bs, Marsh A400.... | |
| Maggie 1.6's and Power. How much is enough? That should do it, but the Maggies LOVE current. It doesn't seem as if you can have enough power for these things. I tried a Pass X250 and when the bass notes came on heavy it pegged the current meter on the front of the thing. I used to have a pa... | |
| Help with an Amp in the 1500 ballpark used I picked up a Polyfusion Audio 960 amp used for $1500. This is a current production amp that goes for $5000. Check out the web site with the above name .com. I am upgrading my preamp and the unit should be coming tomorrow. I bought an ARC LS1 used... | |
| Why Don't We Hear About Polyfusion More? I think it is correct that they just don't want to get caught up in the trappings that come with the rags. They did pour a lot of money into adverstising with Stereophile. I guess it's proves that you don't get reviews by buying ad pages in the ma... | |
| Tube rolling for Hovland HP-100 w/phono pre, 12AX7 12AU7 I just have the line stage. I bought some Mullard 12AX7's from Kevin Deal at Upscale. While I wasn't experiencing noise problems, I thought I could give some more body and dimension to the presentation. All it did was confuse the sound. Have you t... | |
| Mark Levinson No.37 and 36s Vurs ML 39 CD Player I own an original version of the 39. Yes, the variable outs to the amp sound good, but, if you get rid of your seperates and go to a 39, try a great preamp. I tried the Hovland and couldn't belive my ears. Piano finally sounded right. It conveyed ... | |
| Hovland-Pre,anyone heard it ? Heard it, bought it. Again, with the comparisons being so subjective based on equipment and tastes, you need to get one of these in to kick the tires and twist the knobs. Mike, from the Audio Outlet worked with me and everything was great. The bas... |
