| SACD s to die for Thanks all. I agree that many of the smaller lable stuff (Opus, Chesky, etc.) are quite good. Please fell free to add to the lsit as you hear new releases.I am however very disappointed in what Sony has done with some of their re-releases of the c... | |
| Room correction in high-end system??? Audioguy, are you saying that the digitized LP sounds better than a digitized CD or are you saying that a digitized signal from a turntable front end sounds better than that of a non-digitized LP? -- i.e. can we expect better performance from a Ta... | |
| What s wrong with this picture? Hmm... my Aranov mono blocks don't crash every half hour, haven't got a virus yet and in no way further contribute to Bill Gates estate. Now let's take the logic of the opening post one step further. Order any garden variety $1K Dell. Then tell th... | |
| Sony SCD-1 with P1A/P3A ? The Stan Warren Mod was highly recommended by one of the partners at Perpetual Tech. Evidently PT liked it so much that they will honor the warranty after the Mod. It costs $300 and there are a few threads scattered here and there about it (search... | |
| Sony SCD1 vs. Mark Lev 37 as transports ... great post Mgottlieb. I agree that the DAC market will be agitated for a while with more high end offerings and also that the Sony is a decent $4K transport for Redbook. Glad to see you've A/B'd it against other top transport(s) and seem to al... | |
| What kind of cables for DVD-Audio? Tossed out the cheap Kimber PJB's for some better Transparent Audio cables and Kimber Heros and it made a difference. Use your best pair for front speakers and a the same single cable for the centre channel. I've been playing with DVD-A through a ... | |
| Sony SCD1 vs. Mark Lev 37 as transports I have the Sony SCD1 and have also considering the Transport/DAC equation for Redbook. Here's what I've learned in a nut shell:Nothing, short of the very best vinyl setup can touchSACD -- buy the Sony for that reason alone. As for a transport doin... | |
| Best Find Ever??? Just a couple of weeks ago a purchased an Aragon 5X and Sounstage Preamp for just $4K. Sold it on eBay for $6K last week. Makes me almost want to go into the audio business. | |
| Is there a Musical HT Receiver....? ....you can get very close with a Marantz 14Ex. No surprise, this thing is $4700 list, but the big Marantz has good two channel sound and the ability to bypass all the processor filters for clean 2 channel.Is it as good as separates? Well, IMHO it... | |
| Home theatre and Musical Experience HT and high end 2 channel together .... it can be done, but it ain't cheap.I started with a similar setup to yours and have done so much upgrading that I literally have two separate systems in one room. That said, here are some of the things I hav... | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money Best deal(s)? I bought an Aragon X5 HT amp, Soundstage preamp and cables for $4,000, split them up and sold them the next week on eBay for $6,700 -- then used the profit towards a Sony SCD-1 my highest end piece. Net result of this was the Sony SC... | |
| Best Tube Amp under 10K? Thanks you all for the lively discussion! Seems to be a lot of BAT fans out there. In the end, I went with the Aranovs fed by a First Sound passive preamp (Arnovs $2600, First Sound $1075, both on Audiogon - thank you Stewart of SOS.)I now eagerly... | |
| KEF Reference 4s - anyone using these? Thanks for the advice! looks like I should dump the Marantz and go separates as soon as I can -- which is what I expected, given the size of these Kefs. | |
