| At $2K for a new SACD player is the XA-777ES.... I will choose Marantz SA12S1, 1 stop solution to your audio and HT setup around US$2k range. Surely wins over XA777ES.If said not good in resolution, that means you dont know how to play SA12S1. read the manual carefully and play again. | |
| EMC-1UP vs. Cary 306/100 I wont choose Cary, coz it will lose to EMC1UP a lot. EMC1UP can win over low price TT setup Rega P2...............it was in my mind that CD never wins TT, before I tried EMC1UP. | |
| which SACD player? get Marantz brand. SACD8260 could be a good choice. A choice for good vocal performance. Choose Sony if you want better resolution, but sound may be bright. | |
| B&W 805 Sig Problem. what I mean is. B&W should make double box packing instead. I ship CDM1NT without original packing, but still can have the tweeter save. B&W using original packing should do much better than me...........ought to be. | |
| B&W 805 Sig Problem. Ask them to take extra care in protecting the tweeter. I have shipped CDM1NT before, but it seems no problem. Buyer likes my item very much. | |
| Tube poweramp for B&W Nautilus for under 2k? Quad II pre power combo, can drive N803 very very well. Super deep bass. | |
| Amp/Int. Amp to smooth the highs... I think may be your amp doesnt have enough power to feed the speaker. If amp has enough power, tweeter wont have "si si sa sa" sound when playing music.Thats the cause of screechy high. | |
| Recommended pre amp's w/excellent phono stage Rega Hal is a good choice for budget analog system. I have ever compared Rega with Lehmann Black Cube and cant locate the difference. | |
| Speakers needed for VAC amp/preamp try either Sonus Faber Amati or Merlin VSM Millenium. Both are very good match to VAC tube amp performance. | |
| To add DAC or replace CDP? give up SACD for now. Try Electrocompaniet EMC1UP.......and compare to your analog system. See how far they are. | |
| Differences b/n KT-88 and EL-34 Amps? Jazz and blues, better play EL34 tube. Less power than KT88 but sound very good in high and mid. KT88 is more for classic and HiFi music.300B provides very good in high mid, if you used to the sound character of KT88, wont accept bass offering by ... | |
| Opera Audio Consonance reference 2,2 CdD Player PlatsolosMay be you havnt use Sonic Frontiers SFCD1 CDP before. This is the only CDP (from my knowledge) that SF offered in its product line. SFCD1 doesnt come with any digital output coz designer from SF believes this is the best ever and no need... | |
