| Sony SACD XA777ES V Apollo, Marantz 8003 HELP A couple of observations.The Sony is a very good player and can be upgraded.European/British integrateds tend to be a little dry.You don't mention the speakers involved? | |
| Looking to upgrade From my Odyssey Mono extremes Heard the Odyssey at RMAF. Very impressive. Probably would elsewhere for a solution.Source, cables, sound damping. Could be a bright room? | |
| Grand Veena and ? speaker cable Lacee,Tash has gone strickly OCC wire-internal, jumper and speaker wire. Speaker wire is quite a bargain. | |
| Speakers you regret selling Chartwell LS/35As hooked up to a Marantz 7C and a pair of Mac 240s. | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena The list was passed out by Tash at RMAF. Those are the improvements.The older versions don't have those improvements. | |
| Weiss dac 2/minerva or RWA isabellina dac? Heard the Weiss with the updated Amarra software at the RMAF. Really good sound.The other impressive DAC was the Wyred with the Sabre chip. | |

| Most musical integrated amp you have heard? Mac MA230. A little light on bass but as enjoyable listenable as any thing around. | |
| Mod my B C DAC 3, or just get another DAC? I would give Wyred a call. Heard their new DAC and was quite impressed. It's based on the Sabre 908 chip. | |
| New/ Used speakers, 500-800 bucks CAD Knownothing must know something because he has given you a great starting list. Heck, just a great listof speakers.Have heard all the above except the Silverline.The Dynaudio 52SE is also a very good speaker and is more musical than the other Dyna... | |
