Your pick of CD player....
Thanks for all the info so far guys. I am going to be using Dans own pre amp SWL 9.0SE .I believe in Dan's products.. and what he does to make his modded Sonys truly great according to many who have gone this route. Now that said..I just have an a...

Thanks for the info Islandear. 
What's next after proac 1.5 with cary v12/slp94
Your issue may be with the Cary's..The V12's are very good amps..having heard them last year at my dealer..I felt the bass was a bit loose and thick on the Hyperion 938 speakers he was using. The Cary pre amps such as the 94 and 98 are not the mos...

Ill jump in on this thread as Im looking at the AA Prima.Zenieth..You had made a post over on my thread... as Im looking to upgrade from my Jolida 100, and you highly recommended the AA Prima 24/96 MkII as the one to beat,and you mentioned you jus... 
On the fense: PrimaLuna ProLogue II or Jolida 302
I recommend the Primaluna Prologue Two. You'll be quite suprised at the sound and build quality of this amp. I had a Manley Stingray for about 8 mos. which I loved and regreted selling. But after hearing the PL2..I was thrilled with its sound.The ... 
Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome
I ordered a 9.0SE from Dan this week based on a good friends valued opinion of it, and many a stellar review. Cant wait to hear it. I do understand it needs some serious break-in time, but will be well rewarded with patience. It supposedly compete... 
ARC LS-7 TUBE Renew
I used many a tube variety in my previous LS15 and LS25. The ARC's sounded best with Siemens 7308 circa pre 1970. Then I tried some of the Cryo'd SLNM 6H23n-eb from ATSI. Ken Chait cryos these tubes and the results are nothing short of amazing. Th... 
Notice how many SACD collections for sale?
Yes....me too. Thank you to all who took my SACD's off my hands last year..Red book is the way to go.(Vinyl, actually, I feel is THE best Hi-Rez format..but thats another thread) Enjoy!! ;-) 
Speed bumps as a cause of hearing loss.

Which preamp........for sonic bliss????
Dave, As you know Ive ordered a new Modwright SWL 9.0SE pre amp.It is a 5687 tube based pre of course. At $2200. new ..this unit is designed to stack up to the best competition, sonically, up to ~ 8K! Not your typical "tube" sounding pre here base... 
Vandersteen 1C - Best Integrated For Vinyl Lovers?
The Primaluna PL2 40W UL KT-88 amp is a sound choice around your price used. They dont come up too often and hold their resale..but it has a wonderful sound and can drive most speakers including Vandy's well. The PL1 35W EL-34 based amp would like... 
PrimaLuna ProLogue One versus Two
Plinko,I agree with your comments on the Mullard CV4004. Definately more resolution and less fuzzy sounding. More recessed soundstage compared to the stock Chinese tubes( also very good) or the Ei Ecc-83 Gray plates I tried. More punchy, deeper ba... 
What's your dirty little secret?
Every now and again, I will pull out my 1976 LP of Gene Cotton "Rain on"..this one for memory lane. 
North Creek B&W 801 crossovers? Tried them?
I see what you mean on the re-matching the new plate. You could do that..but remember you have 6 posts now instead of the 4. It may be a very tight fit. I love the MR77. I also owned a MR71 several years back. My dad is a mac lover, and has his or... 
North Creek B&W 801 crossovers? Tried them?
If you can use the new plate in the stock hole, then you will be able to close up the bottom. That bottom plate when on.. may still allow you to run the wiring out the side even if you cant use the newer plate in the old plate hole. I think the pl...
