| My new CDP does SACD too.... So, since you don't like Christian music, if we were to perhaps suggest some Islamic, Buddhist, Druid, or perhaps even some Satanic music, that would be okay then?;-)Ah, must be a Friday! | |
| rockport altair any informed opinions? Congrats Koegz!I am sure that you will love the Altair for a long time to come!Question: What are you using for a power amp to drive them?Jealously yours,Kurt_tank;-) | |
| What's the best Blu-Ray player for 300.-350. Well, I can recommend the Panasonic DMP-BD35. I will be honest and state that I based this purchase on CNET's review and the fact that they made it an Editor's choice. And since I have a Panasonic Viera 58" Plasma, it mates with it very nicely. (P... | |
| The best phono stage out there? You really should list what your budget is. By saying the best, you are getting into some really expensive phono preamplifiers. (The ones I've listed below retail from about $5K up to about about $10K.) Also, do you want or require the phono pream... | |
| Tube Phono-Stage question. My advice would be to save up your cash, and then send your Ayre K-1xe back to Ayre to have the phono stage boards installed. For $1,600 (I assume the price for the boards did not change with their last round of price hikes), this is a great phono... | |
| Opinions: ML 390S, Esoteric D70, Opus21, Capitole? I own one of the cd players you reference, (the Opus 21), and directly compared, in my system, another one, the Audio Aero Capitole II.I feel that the Capitole II is just slightly better than the Opus 21, especially in the mid-range, as it sounds ... | |
| Looking for a CDP from a company that'll be around Well, it would stretch your budget a bit, but the Resolution Audio Opus 21 would be a great choice. (Used they run about $2,000+) It is a fantastic cd player. The sound is very close to being like analog, and does not sound very digital. (I usuall... | |
| Anyone compare VAC Phi 300.1 to VTL 450's. Hasse,I believe it was the MB 450 signatures, but not the series II version, which I think now cost $15K, right? (They were probably made about 4 years ago, as best I can determine. I believe the list price on them was $10K.)As far as the Lamm hyb... | |
| Anyone compare VAC Phi 300.1 to VTL 450's. Well, since you have not gotten any responses as yet, I will give you my semi-second hand impressions. (I say semi-second hand, as I did not own them, but my friend owned the VTL 450's for a year or so, before he bought the hybrid Lamm M2.2 monobl... | |
| Ayre K1x/e owners - your listening levels are...? I run mine balanced, and when I listen at moderate levels, it is @ the 9:00 position, but when I want to crank it up to realistic sound levels, it is around the 11:00 position.(That is for vinyl. For CD listening, take off an hour or two.) | |

| Ayre K1 owners - Do you have images of packaging. I believe that everything, including the PS, goes in one box. (I've had mine for about 5 years, so that is based upon my memory, so if I'm wrong, don't shoot me.)If you're local to the SF bay area, feel free to drop me a line. I would not mind let... | |
| Quality of New MoFi recordings I agree with Jaybo and Mofimadness. And I too was going to mention how great the Natalie Merchant album is! | |
| What is the best doors album in your opinion? "Strange Days" is my first choice, very closely followed by both "The Doors" (their first album), and their last album, "LA Woman". All three are top notch albums. | |
| Opus 21 I don't think it does.However, to make sure, I suggest you contact Jeff Kalt, at Resolution Audio. (A nicer, more helpful guy, you will never find!!!) Here is his number.1 (415) 553-4100Or email him at: info@resolutionaudio (dot) comGood Luck! |
