| Audio Research Ref: CD8 Wsill, my CD7 also turns on when plugged in....never thought too much about itsince I rarely unplug it. Very curious to read your comments on the update. AsI previously indicated, Leonard at ARC told me the upgrade was more for stabilizing the reg... | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 Hi Chadeffect, The Krell 20i needs the "right" cables. When I first purchased the 20i, new, many years ago (I've since picked up another one, used) it had some grain, nodoubt about it...but, it had tremendous bottom end and body; no other digital ... | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 As explained to me by Leonard(ARC customer service), the CD7receives only the PS supply upgrade, not the new DAC. I havea CD7 and feel that it has the best midrange of any digitalpiece I've heard. I preferred it to the Krell 505, AMR,Marantz 7SA1,... | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 I spoke to Leonard at ARC; the new CD8 will be shipping next month and will be$10K. The power supply upgrade for the CD7 is free of charge for originalowners, aside from the usual shipping both ways. However, the PS upgradewhich includes a change ... | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 Does this mean the CD7 is being discontinued? The CD7 has a "Reference" designation so it doesn't seem the CD7 and CD8 can coexist. What is the priceof the CD8? | |
| Mac C500 vs C1000 Has anyone actually listened to both the Mac C500 and C1000? | |
| Mac C500 vs C1000 The circuitry needed to allow the C1000 to be used with the solid state and tubechassis simultaneously is certainly very expensive and may be the sole expensefor the 8K differential....the C500 cannot be used in that manner, only one orthe other. ... | |
| Mac C500 vs C1000 Lapierre, I was told the phono sections were identical.....same specs and tubesI believe. Is there a sonic difference? There's an 8k price differential; did youfind the line stages to sound identical? | |

| mcintosh 501 vs 2102 Has anyone compared the c2300 to the c500 or c1000 tube preamps? | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 CD/SACD Player I went on to Audio Asylum and found someone posing the same question re-garding the lack of comparison to the Marantz player. There's also someone, along with 2 friends, who did an MPS-5 and Marantz 7SA-S1 comparison and found the latter to be the... | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 CD/SACD Player I read the PF review....why wasn't the Marantz player-a PF favorite-alluded toand shown in the review, compared to the Playback designs??? | |
| Best Digital Source That Money Can Buy? Re: Absolute Sound Review of 069 If you read the review closely, it's evident that AC truly liked the Burmester,but didn't feel it was a ''breakthrough'' product. AC ranked it slightly above the EMM player and even preferred SACD on the latter to ... | |
| DAC for Krell KPS 20i Try a Shunyata King Cobra power cord and Cardas Golden Cross interconnectsand you won't need to add a DAC. This will add warmth, body and musicalitywith bottom end slam and emotion. | |
| Review: Playback Designs MPS-5 CD Player Has anyone who has listened to the MPS-5 listened to players such as the ARCCD-7 or AMR? Many people have preferred these over the EMM player/separates. What about separates such as the Acustic Arts Tubed DAC/transport or MBL 1500 series or 1600 s... |
