| Who has found happiness giving up on DACs? I have.I sold my Accustic Arts Drive 1 and DAC 1 Mk. 4, Stealth Varidig Sextet and extra Silent Source The Music Reference power cord and bought a Wadia 581se with the proceeds, then upgraded to a Wadia 781i.Although what I had was really, really ... | |
| Your opinion: Teslaplex or Oyaide R1 Outlet I had the Oyaide R1, GX and XXX outlets. I got rid of them all because it drove me crazy interchanging them. I didn't care to play the warmer or more detailed game with them.I tried the SR TeslaPlex because Lloyd Walker recommended them to me. I d... | |
| Best Interconnects You are running balanced, aren't you? The 781i is truly balanced and your preamp has balanced inputs. Wadia told me that I should run balanced if at all possible.What did you find with the preamp that you didn't have running straight into your amp... | |
| Wadia 381i compared to 581i I haven't heard the 381i, but I had the 581iSE. I now have the 781i and I have heard the S7i side-by-side in my system, last weekend in fact.You know that the 581iSE and 781i play both CDs and SACDs. While the 381i and S7i only play CDs.I believe ... | |
| Do Acoustic Zen Adagios still live up to the Hype Fsonicsmith,Are you sure about mirrored binding posts?I can't remember ever having a pair of speakers where binding posts were mirrored and I've been at this since 1972.If you think about it, having mirrored binding posts would mean that you'd hav... | |
| What makes a Cd player a Great cd player Mapman,I don't blame anything for the recording.In my personal situation, I use my music as a stress reliever at the end of the day.I've found that the better recordings are more relaxing for me. That's why I look to buy imports, HDCDs, XRCDs and ... | |
| What makes a Cd player a Great cd player Ddan6815,I haven't read all of the posted comments, so forgive me me if this has been touched upon.There is a problem, as you said, that when going from a good CD Player to a better one, it does have a tendency to bring to light the difference in ... | |
| which not too expensive amp for Maggie 1.7 ? You don't say what his 'limited budget' is.The 1.7 is one heck of a speaker. Also given is that there are some highly recommendeded requiements for it such as:1. it needs a fairly large room so that it can breathe2. it needs good clean power and c... | |
| What makes a Cd player a Great cd player This thread has become pretty funny.It reminds me of when I had six fellow computer programmers and engineers come over because they wanted to hear my system.Five were saying "Oh my Lord!" while one said that he couldn't hear a difference. We all ... | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? I think my Spectron sounds fantastic! For what it's worth, I've been an audiophile for 38 years and the Spectron Musician III Mk2 is my first Class 'D' amp.Chuck | |
| Spectron RS Signature speaker cable auditioning Lee, No, I'm not biwiring. I have an outboard crossover that I run in to. Hopefully, like in my system, it will take care of your bass foundation. Chuck | |
| B&W's objective opinions lean or accurate Then I'd seriously consider the Thiel 2.4's and a Spectron Musician III Mk2 amp.You need to hear the Thiels, supposedly people either love them completely or hate them completely. I really like them. I'm in a 10' x 12.5' room so they wouldn't fit.... | |
| B&W's objective opinions lean or accurate It appears that your price point is $8k-$9k. How big is your room? Can your speakers be out away from the walls? How far is your seated position from the speakers?I had the B&W Silver Signatures for years and years and really, really liked the... | |
| B&W 805 Diamond vs 805 Siganture Why do you want to upgrade? You need to understand that answer.If you're going to spend some decent money, you should go and hear them side by side for yourself. Is the difference worth the difference in the money you'd get selling your 805S and b... | |
| Praise for Spectron I have the Spectron Musician III Mk2 with the Bybee filters and V-Caps and it is by far the best amp I've had in my system.Last week, I finally had Simon send me a set of the Remote Sense RS Signature speaker cables to audition. That audition last... |
