What cd player or cd transport/dac is next for me?
Hi Bwhite. It's good, at all volumes, but it's great once it fills out the room.Bill E. 
What cd player or cd transport/dac is next for me?
Thanks all for the input. I bought an AudioMeca Mephisto II one box and it's been great. Softer, more musical, deeper soundstage(about 15 feet vs 5 with the SCD-1)which now runs from my feet. I finally got to see and feel PRaT. It's amazing to hea... 
ML 390S vs dCS Verdi/Purcell/Elgar Plus
Every once in a while I re-read something stupid I wrote and this is one of them. What I meant to say was the the ML39, SCD-1, RA CD55 and EMC-1 I were in the same performance window. Clearly the high end separates of ML aren't.Bill E. 
My ML380S has static when I change volume
I get the same noise from both the RCA and XLR outputs, but the XLR is louder. I find that I only hear it when I turn increase the volume manually. I don't think it corresponds to every .1db change. Levinson offered to have me send it back. I'm go... 
ML 390S vs dCS Verdi/Purcell/Elgar Plus
Hi. I have another idea for you. I've heard the ML39, ML30.6& ML31.5, EMC-1 I, RA CD55, Sony SCD-1 and Meridian 508.20. To me they are all within the same performance window with slight variation as to sonic signature, but not overall level of... 
Have you heard Rockport speakers?
I just got off the phone with Andy. As before, it's great to speak with him. We also spoke of a set of speakers which he last made five years ago which have 7' horns and separate bass units. I am open to all possiblities, those included. It's wond... 
Have you heard Rockport speakers?
I've had the pleasure of speaking with Andy already and plan on going to visit next month, when my 20 year old ee student son gets done with the semester. I am intrigued by both what Andy says and his design dynamics. However, I am interested in t... 
Have you heard Rockport speakers?
Wow! This is my favorite type of feedback. Passionate, personal and informed. I'm taking it all in.Thanks,Bill E. 
Have you heard Rockport speakers?
I have been asked to post a followup describing my system. It doesn't seem to apply, since I am beginning my next quest into audio nirvana and lunacy. Therefore, I am prepared to build an entirely new two channel system around a set of speakers...... 
5 ch amp decision- opinions please
I had three Citation 7.1's in my HT before the EAD Powermaster 2000. With out a doubt the EAD is quicker, more detailed more exciting and much closer to Class A two channel than the Citations. I was ready to toss the theater prior to getting the E... 
Frustration with buyers who make offer, then don't
Gerryn,It's funny, but I had to re-read this thread a couple of times to have it sink in. It's about frustration not bad buyers. I suggest you look at what frustrates you, not other people. You say, "I always try to operate in good faith".You migh...

Classicjazz/Jtinn: How different is the one box setup from separate DAC/transports? Bill E. 
What cd player or cd transport/dac is next for me?
Fatparrot: How does the MKII compare with the MKI? Specifically, how much improvement and in what ways? I found that the MKI was too bright in the mids for me. Jtinn: I've never heard of or heard the Audiomeca units and will look for a dealer here... 
Beware of PayPal
I have no clue what you're referring to. I have a Paypal account. I get interest on my cash. Not very different than my bank. I use my Paypal debit card and get 1.5% refunded to my account in cash for every use other than cash, which I don't do. T... 
What Would you Trade your System FOR?
Supporting my family, if it were necessary.
