| Cambridge Audio 840C Joey_v, I have not yet had a chance to listen to the 840c critically to compare with the Wadia. As a stand-alone CDP, I think the Wadia is stellar so I'll be amazed if the 840c can rival that much less beat it. But, my reason for checking out the ... | |
| Cambridge Audio 840C Well, it seems Datonlanny's other thread has gone missing again.I just received an 840c... too early to tell how well it'll stack up against my Wadia, but one thing I've noticed is that the transport mechanism is not very smooth... there's a sligh... | |
| Cambridge Audio 840C I can still access it. It's titled: Cambridge 740c...comparable to Rega Saturn? I believe this is the url: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1187551529 | |
| Cambridge Audio 840C I'll have a chance to compare it to my Wadia 830 within a few days. I know... that Wadia is under $5k so it probably doesn't stand much of a chance *hah*Seriously, I'm considering it because I'm looking for a solid transport and my Wadia doesn't h... | |
| Seeking opinions on best amp match for Aerial20T I replaced a ML 331 on my Aerial 10Ts with a McCormack DNA-500 and was astounded by the improvement in bass and transient response. The was a equal improvement in delicacy and refinement. I don't know much about the 20Ts, but I do know the 10Ts lo... | |
| Any previous Wadia users?? Or did everyone move? I've got a Wadia 830 with GNSC Ref mods. Wadia is synonomous with quality and Steve at GNSC knows how to make it sing. If your simply considering two different models of Wadia, have this conversation with Steve Huntley. Know one knows Wadia and it... | |
| Oppo DV980H Audio Quality Happybob, thanks for the update... I thought what you were suggesting sounded too good to be true. I have sent off an email to a moder of the Oppo to get their take on this. I'll post whatever I hear. | |
| Oppo DV980H Audio Quality Happybob,What I'm wondering is how can you be sure that what you're getting thru the digital out is not just the redbook layer and not a conversion of the higher res SACD or DVD-A... It would be easy to check with an SACD only disk (I think most o... | |
| Oppo DV980H Audio Quality Happybob... so are you saying that you can play SACD or DVD-Audio using the Oppo as solely a transport into an external DAC? Did I read that right?If so, I'm curious about how the SACD 2 channel DSD to LPCM converted digital out stacks up... Have ... | |
| Best CHEAP long under-carpet speaker cable I thought the Mapleshade wire is a bit on the delicate side. If the carpet that covers it is to be walked on, might this create a potential problem? | |
| Analog thru Tact 2.0s I did exactly that... I picked up a modded card from Anthony at Aberdeen and it sounds wonderful -- I'm totally pleased with phono thru the Tact at this point. | |
| Need cdp power cord recommendations. I've got a Wadia 830 (w/ GNSC mods) and had been using a JPS Digital to good effect. But I tried a Black Sand Silver Ref PC and have since sold the JPS. The Black Sand is the real deal. You can find tons of positive posts about it here and on Audi... | |
| Is Audio Research SP-6 considered a good model? I would definitely talk with Steve Huntley at Great Northern Sound. The SP6 is on his list of packaged mods which means he knows the potential of this piece of equipment. Steve's a great guy to talk with and he will give you solid advice. I have n... | |
| Aerial 10T / Levinson 336 Hey, Jim... glad to hear the 336 is working out well for you with the 10Ts! I've been using the JPS SC+ biwire on my 10Ts for many years (started back when I first got the Levinson 331). I spent a good bit of time comparing them to different cable... | |
| ARC Pre + which SS amp? I've got an ARC SP9 with GNSC Ref mods. I ran it with a Levinson 331 for many years but about a year ago I replaced the Levinson with a McCormack DNA-500. Whoa, what a step up! Amazing dynamics and depth of soundstage. Great match. |
