Has anyone heard the new Cary 303T?
Krisjan, According to the Cary ad in the November Stereophile, "the new CD-303Tis, in our opinion, the finest CD/SACD player on earth". This must mean it is thenew top of the line and would cost at least 10K. It also doesn't mention the ssoutput a... 
Audio Research Ref 5 preamp
What sonic differences did "the other two" hear that made them prefer the 6010D over the Ref3/5? 
Audio Research Ref 5 preamp
Dev, Since you prefer the Ref 3 to the Mbl 6010D, why not sell the latter (for alot more than the former) and get a Ref 5? I've actually been considering the MBL for quite some time; it's lack of a mono switch is distressing to me. I had adisappoi... 
Has anyone heard the Herron VTSP-3 linestage?
Thanks, Sflazor. Any attempt to tube roll? I prefer a full-bodied mid-bass through lower mids....I'm wondering about theuse of vintage Mullards or Amperexes. 
Jadis DA 60 Integrated
Which of these integrated amps would mate best with Quad 57s? Of course, the Quads do not need more than 30 watts so I'm also intersted in knowingwhether the JA 30 mono blocks would be an even better choice. 
CJ GAT Preamp VS ART 3 which one is the best?
What is the list price for the GAT? 
Has anyone heard the Vitus Audio CD Player?
Arthur, What players have you compared the Vitus to? Have youheard the ARC CD7/8, AMR, Playback Designs, Puccini, Cary Pro,etc.? Can you elaborate on differences in tonality, slam,smoothness, etc.? 
CEC TL0X not playing long CD
Maximum playing time is 80 minutes for a CD. I have many discs with over 79minutes, but just short of 80 and play through without any problem. 
dCS Puccini Clock
Thanks, Elberoth. My dealer also felt the CD-8 is simply more musical andnatural sounding. I have a CD-7 and am wondering whether to make the moveto a CD-8. 
dCS Puccini Clock
Elberoth, Which do you prefer...the CD-8 or Puccini? My dealer has both and pre-fers the CD-8. I haven't heard both side by side. 
4 ohm, 8 ohm or 16 ohm tap on amp for quad 57
Ralph, will there be any sonic differences in using your S-30Mk3 or the MA-60 Mk3s with Quad 57s? 
Jadis JA30 - Quad ESL63 .. 4,8 or 16ohms?
Ralph, Will Quad 57s match well with the M-60s or for that matter the M-30?The impedance of the the 57s is all over the place. 
Jadis JA30 - Quad ESL63 .. 4,8 or 16ohms?
Sorry to get get slightly off the topic, but has anyone tried the JA 30s withoriginal Quads? 
preamp with two adjustable outputs??
MBL 6010D has output adjustments for left and right channels for each of 2 mainoutputs enabling you to "balance" the gain for 2 amps in a bi-amp situation. 
the best CD player between 6'000 - 10'000 $ ?
Vandersteenguy, I own a CD7 and also think very highly of it. Besides the Scarlatti combo, did you compare to the 1 box Puccini? It seems used prices onthe CD7 have already dropped to the 5K level....perhaps in anticipation for theCD8.
