| Question for SCD-1 and 777es owners. Thedautch, I listened to the MSB Platinumn Link at my dealer, just yesterday. While it was very good, I found it a touch "dry". Sounstage was excellent but seemed to sit behind the speakers. Rest of the system was reference quality (Pass 600, Pass... | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group Thanks, ever so much. I was hoping to here from an SCD-1 owner who has successful integrated the TACT. As I can't treat my room (Unless I want a divorce), the Tact seems like a logical choice.Regards, Lorne Cherry | |
| racks and shelves I have successfuly used lead shot to quickly dampen the vibrations of passing swallows. Works especially well with MIT 750 "shotgun" terminator ICs. be sure to lead the swallow slightly before firing.If that fails, try throwing some Shataki stones... | |
| Lead shots for speaker stand. My Atlantis Reference Rack has provisions for filling with sand/shot. But the weight of my stuff on that rack already exceeds 250lbs, so I thought the benefits would be very minimal if any at all! Would I receive any benefits by the extra 20 - 50 ... | |
| Speakers for Near Wall Placement Don't overlook the Kef Reference Series. They are ported in the front and the newer versions have an adjustable boundary compensation selector that will further allow you to fine tune the base. I contacted KEF and they recommended that their speak... | |
| How much are you worth ? I'll answer for most of us here.Got $30K system and $30 bucks in the bank. Well, actually the ratio's not that bad, but I do have some Nortel stock I paid $126 a share for last year and now it's worth ....uh....uh .... if only I would have sold an... | |
| Antique Sound Labs Headphone Amp Jim: I've never heard the Lamda Pro (though I would like to) My "STAX" experience was mostly with mid 80's SR series and some of the newer Classic series (which sound quite nice, although they just can't get the bass quite right -- may be, just ma... | |
| Antique Sound Labs Headphone Amp I've got Grado RS-1's and the Grado RA-1 battery powered headphone amp running directly into the output stage of my Sony SCD-1 courtesy of Mr. Cardas's Golden Reference RCA.(Don't dismiss the battery powered RA-1 Grado -- it's dead quiet, and real... | |

| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Dekay... I got na fends on "de outside" and my pawole offiser only lets mi out once a weak. The Wardun does however let mi keep my Grado headfones on wheneber my cel mate starts a swear'in and a cuss'in. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Trelja, Leafs, and other “recovering audiophiles”:Have you checked to see if your region has a local AA (Audiophiles Anonymous) chapter? Our group meets every week at the local Radio Shack where we listen to MP3, boom boxes, but mostly just talk a... | |
| Don't try this at home hElP .... so that's what they mean by "breaking in" your cables. I'm runnning down to the basement right now to get my plyers and some shirts, and I promise to report back how the new cables sound..... I'm back ....just tried this with my Nordost Valha... | |
| 350 SACDs and Counting More important than number of SACD's is the number/percentage of quality recordings, which in the case of SACD, seems to be at least 40% of what I've heard. Some of the Sony remasters of 70's and 80's are so so or just plain terrible, but that's b... | |
| Pioneer DV 38A DD5.1 Selection I can help. I have the 38A and have successfully played (and enjoyed) the same Doors LA Women DVD-A. DVD audio uses only the analog output -- it won't work at all with the digital coxial cable (which you'll still use for DVD video, movies, HDCD, e... | |
| Sony SCD-777ES availability? The 777 and SCD-1 are a classic supply and demand situation. I paid $3125 for my SCD-1 even though I know others have paid as little as $2700+. Although I pride myself in buying very low, I wanted it and I wanted it NOW, so I paid the going rate. ... |
