| Which cd/dv mega changer using an outboard DAC? I do - I have a Pioneer and Sony - I prefer the Pioneer - the Sony is a bit brighter but like I said one is really not far superior to any of the others I listened too - I did not listen to the Marantz. | |
| Best Used DAC for 1000? Brand new - the Birdland Odeon Lite. Sells new for 1k retail - look up site and someone has one used for 600 on the Audiogon site. Spend a little more on the tubed Kora Hermes for the best at under 5K . | |
| Pre-amp Suggestions for Tubes & Electrostats The Mcintosh C42 or the C100 are excellent SS. Mac is coming out with a new tube preamp soon that is suppose to be THE tube preamp of all time. | |
| Is it the cable or the cartridge or???? Try the suggestions above but also realize that some cartridges hum with the VPI setups - Grado even makes a special line for the VPI's to prevent hum. I have an Aries and there were just some cartridges I needed to avoid - I am not familiar with ... | |
| 40 feet balanced between preamp and Levinson.... I agree with Sean on this - LAT will be able to help you with a quality cable and good/fair price - I use them. | |
| MartinLogan Ascents/Quicksilver M80 monoblock amps The M80's will do just fine with the Ascents - later you may want to biamp them with a SS on the bottom and the M80's on the top. This will bring the Ascents to a new level. I do this with my Odysseys and a Mcintosh 2102 (tube) /Mac 352 (SS). The ... | |
| Which cd/dv mega changer using an outboard DAC? They are all pretty similar as transports - the DAC is what will make them rise up and improve their ability to make sound. Pick the one that has the features you want and spend the money on the DAC. | |
| Anyone help with Triangle Celius The Krell 300i is deifinitely a powerful but ultra bright amp - you should sell it and pick up a Mcintosh 6850,6900 or an Accuphase 210/211 integrated. All good matches. | |
| Help pick opening song for my film One more - I Want You To know You Made Me Happy by the Rotary Connection - I know I am going way back. | |
| Monster Cable Kicks Butt? The Monsters probably sound different which could mean better for a while but if you put a better cable back in the system it would probably change your mind and sound better again. We all get use to a certain sound and when we hear different we g... | |

| Monster Cable Kicks Butt? I guess its like this - Monster sells more cable than all the rest combined - I guess that makes them not good - Right? | |

| Mid-Hi fi Phono preamp w/ volume control? I had an Antique Sound Lab Phono preamp tube unit that had volume controls for each channel. It was very good - I do not remember the model number but they perhaps have something similar but the EAR is a hard one to beat. | |
| Please help with system synergy and imaging Get rid of the MIT's and do not run the Cd player into the amp directly without a volume control. |
