ELAC FS 609CE ?
owned their entry level one CL142, and added their JET tweeter separately on top, also heard their flagship speakers, this was before their cystal series, i sold my elac cuz lack of bass, partly due to bad acoustic in my room, despite the sound, i... 
cdp hunt/ compared to accuphase dp75
you are right about the synergy, though the plinius dealer is 3 hours drive away from me, as i'm in a process to upgrade my cable, cd101 is a bit pricy unless 2nd hand shows up. Just based on the reivews i read, bryston seems a tad more musical, w... 
Advice re PC for Plinius amp
sorry for not being helpful, i have an old plinius 8200mk2 intergrated and the hum you were describing is audible through my speakers as well, however im not so bothered because it's only there when it's on standby mode. No issue while playing mus... 
Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000
what's the bass performance like on this sony? I read someone said the bass is lacking, so can someone describe its sound compared to let's say Byston bcd or Ayre cx7e? i know someone asked these questions b4 but they have not been asnwered yet. I... 
upgrading my CEC TL51xr
Then again, if i go the DAC route, which DAC has solid soundstage and powerful bass? I thinking Bel canto DAC 3.When I got the upgrade bug, I was thinking of a good power cord for the amp. But the powercord turned out to be too expensive so i thou... 
upgrading my CEC TL51xr
thanks so much for the tips, I must admit that my DIY skill limits within the room treatment, so about upgrading the output stage is probably not the option for me(probably).I did read something quite positive about Ayon cdp, though i found a good... 
The best CD Player for the money
i'm musician as well, I guess musicians prefer a more realistic presentation, i mean hi-fi music is like can food, it can't beat live concert, though some systems do reproduce toward that goal, with the right system, one can tune the sound to eith... 
Ayre CX7e vs Linn Majik cdps
Thanks for the tips, though in what area that Ayre is better Linn? I heard Ayre has more forward presentation, i suppose better detail as well. Linn is famous for their analogue like sound, is there area that Linn beats Ayre? Does Ayre sound lean ...

Review: Spendor S8e Speaker
Nice review on spendor, though mine is Spendor 2/3r bookshelf, I agree that Spendor are great speakers which reflect the rest of the system. It's interesting that you are using Cambridge CDP(did it take long to break in?), at the moment I'm using ... 
Valab TDA1543 DAC VS MHDT Havana DAC
mine is tungsol 2C51, I've got WE396a as well, I prefer the soundstage on tungsol. 
Valab TDA1543 DAC VS MHDT Havana DAC
me too fell in love with NOS DAC, it's much more engaging, and it makes more sense to me as a musician myself, sometimes we can't help but anaylise the music but most of the time it's a lot more enjoyable focusing the passion on purely just music,... 
Valab TDA1543 DAC VS MHDT Havana DAC
can' wait! many thanks! 
MHDT Havana Questions
Ejk,I also own WE tubes made in the 50s, in comparison to Tungsol for me they(WE) produce details in quatity, i hear more low level sound, but for my system the upper bass seems so mashed in to the midrange that to an extent i can't pinpoint where... 
DAC for all tube 2 channel set up?
I agree with Mimberman, I too have a Havana DAC, it might not be the most detailed DAC around in terms of the quantity of the sound you hear. But the quality of the sound i think is truly high end, for me WE 396A tube for better detail, Tungsol tu...
