AudioAero Capitale II vs Muscial Fidelity Tri-Vist
I traded in my Conrad-Johnson D/A-3 for the MF Tri-Vista 21 DAC. The MF blew away the CJ. However, when I took the CJ to my dealer that day, he didn't have one in stock and had to order it. While I was there, I had him hook up my CJ and I compared... 
Downsizing-Need Integrated Amp Advice
Is there a reason that you're downsizing? I'm asking because you may be going backwards when you may be fine with what you have. If the c-j's are paid for, you might audition these integrateds against them before jumping into something.Like S7hort... 
Musical Fidelity X-DAC v3 Vs Tri Vista 21 DAC
I have never heard the XDAC, but I own the Tri-Vista 21. I think you'd do well auditioning it just to see for yourself. I had just replaced my Theta Gen. III with a conrad-johnson DA/3, when I ordered the Tri-VIsta blindly after reading the Stereo... 
Meadowlark Ospreys II ? Low Feq. Response?
That's interesting, because we're on the same page. Go to http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/archives/ and check out Wayne Donnelly's reviews of the Osprey and the Von Schwiekert VR-2's and there's also a review shootout between the two.I email... 
Dunlavy SC-V and Accuphase
I had the SC-IV's that I ran with a Krell KSA-50S amp (2x50 W class A). It sounded good to me, but I was told over and over that I needed more power for them to really sing dynamically. Since the SC-V's are even bigger, it might not hurt to try. I... 
Meadowlark Ospreys II ? Low Feq. Response?
Was it you who just sold the Silver Sigs? I have Silver Sigs too and I've been considering the Ospreys myself. It's VERY IMPORTANT that the Meadowlark's are given at least 200 hours to break in before making a "no go" judgement on them. You have t... 
Musical Fidelity vs. Blue Circle: Integrateds
I've never heard the Blue Circle gear, but I've heard the MF 3.2 Integrated.I traded in my Krell KRC-3 Pre-amp and KSA-50S Amp on the MF A308cr Pre-amp and Amp right after Christmas. While I was waiting for the shipment, my dealer loaned me the A3... 
The Lector CD Player- Opinions?
Jond, you are right! Thanks, I just discovered this myself, that's why I came back. My apologies to Danlib1. 
The Lector CD Player- Opinions?
I don't own one, but was looking for one also. I didn't see the review that you read, but at www.enjoythemusic.com there are a couple of reviews. They like them a lot! 
Ayone know the wattage used at a Rock concert?
Just a bit of trivia, The Rolling Stones P.A. system had an incredible 50 Watts for their first concert in New York City. Talk about changing times!But then again, isn't the benefit of a huge amount of power one of either powering inefficient spea... 
Name 1 Cable in your system you could not live w/o
I wouldn't trade my complete set of Sonoran Plateau interconnects (digital, interconnects, speaker, and power cords) for anything. The reason is simple, ten years ago I was upgrading my system. I purchased a Theta Data Basic and Gen. III, a Krell ... 
Poor man's reference DAC
I really like my Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 21 DAC. It's notches above my old Conrad-Johnson D/A-3, which was notches above my Theta Gen. III. 
Upgrading from KRC3: ARC LS25 or JRDG Synergy IIi?
I just traded my KRC-3 and KSA-50S in on a Musical Fidelity A308cr Pre-Amp and Amp right after this past Christmas. I've never regretted the replacement piece for piece, but the dealer did tell me that the bigger upgrade was the Amp, not the KRC-3... 
Any DAC better than the MF A324 Upsampler?
Rooze, it's funny, but I had (still have) the MIT Digital Reference. Please!, please!, please! call John Pharo at The Cable Company, 1-800-fat-wyre and ask his opinion about the Stereovox HDXV and a test listen, tell him that Chuck Davis sent you.... 
Any DAC better than the MF A324 Upsampler?
Rooze, since you're still receiving suggestions and they're now getting into power cords, here's another. What digital cable are you using? An excellent one is the Stereovox HDXV for only $100.00. You can call John Pharo at The Cable Company, 1-80...
