| Best sounding HDCD player?? IMHO Cary's latest; the 306 SACD professional is about as good as HDCD gets. | |
| Cambridge 840c vs. Raysonic CD128 These two players present music very differently and it comes down to personal tastePersonally, there is no way i could live with the Raysonic. The CD128 is slow, coloured and has very poor resolution compared with Cambridge Audio 840C. | |

| Gryphon Diablo or Accuphase E-450 To bad you are not willing to consider widening your selection of amplifiers. I have not auditioned the Accuphase E-450 but i have auditioned the Gryphon Diablo and whilst i think its a great product and obvious contending match for the Mikado - i... | |
| Unico Secondo I own a Secondo and think very highly of it. It is a big step up over the original 80w (or so) Unico.The Secondo replaces the Unico SE but is different to it. I would agree with Dkasab that the Secondo does not have a bass slam of the SE - but bet... | |

| Review: Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 Amplifier Gents (Guido, Mapman, Dave),In response to your questions here and in the 'best integrated thread' i would concur that the Rowland is an outsiders choice for powering MBL speakers.Most MBL owners opt for big monoblocks or stereo power amps either ... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Hi Dave, Mapman - i've responded to your questions in the review section of the forum as i didn't want to divert attention away from the central thread topic. Regards. | |
| Best Integrated, period. I listened recently to the JRDG Continuum 500 was other than a few niggling concerns was reasonably impressed. My review was posted on the forum at www.audioenz.co.nz | |

| Dealing w reflective surface between loud speakers Many thanks for your responses!My plasma sits about 3 feet behind my speakers - but even at that distance it hinders the soundstage. My situation may be worse than others because i use large planar speakers with bi-directional ribbons. A quick che... | |
| Cary 306 SACD Professional Paul,I am also interested in your power cord experience with the Cary.Thanks | |
| Esoteric's G-03x Master Clock Generator 07-05-08: Bugman03I purchased the G-ORb clock about a month ago to go with my Esoteric P5/D5. This clock makes a huge improvement in the clarity and musicality. This clock costs as much as the P5 and D5 and I am very pleased with it so for me it ... | |
| Sanders ESL Power Amp & Mono blocks Hi Cerrot,Thanks for the feedback.Out of interest have you tried using the unbalanced connection between the Sanders pre and pwr amp and compared that to the balanced connection? Reason i ask is because the internal circuitry of the Sanders pre-am... | |
| Sanders ESL Power Amp & Mono blocks Hi Cmk,Yes, i was wondering about 36.5 ref but by itself its nearly double the price of the SWLP9.0. Still, other than the optional separate PSU [which looks pretty hideous IMO]but apparently meaningfully improve the audio quality it also comes wi... |
