| Musical Fidelity A3CD player Yurko, yes power supply upgrade available if you send unit to BC for install I believe cost is @$200 but don't quote me on that, some members here are having it done. I last talked to BC couple weeks ago and was informed that in a few months they ... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3CD player Cal, I have not heard any electrostatic speakers driven byMF so I can't comment. Personally I use PSB Silver-i and Gold-i, very good sound for the money. If you like warm sound you might look into Vandersteen speakers, many many choices, try to he... | |
| Keeping cables off the floor I have tried this tweak very carefully evaluating it, and I hear no noticable improvement or change in sound. I at firstthought this worth doing and an engineer friend of mine cameover and shook his head when he saw the elevated cables, he chuckle... | |
| BMI Whale vs King Cobra V2, others? I would follow DKuipers advice and get a trail listen to Shunyata Hydra, which improves all components in your system, before you spend big money on individual AC cords.You can call Galen Carol in texas for low down on the hydra. | |
| Shakti Stone? Shakti stones are very light not meant for dampening effect. They are supposed to absorb EMF which causes distortion in your audio signal. As I stated above I experimented with stones on CDP, Dac, preamp, amp. Easy to audition because you add/remo... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3CD player Cal, I do have a lot of MF gear, the DAC for you if you can swing the price is the new Bel Canto DAC1 with new power supply and tweaked board, retail is $1295 but you should get some discount with your dealer. Very good for solid state system, slo... | |
| best cd player used under 2k. Eric, newest Bel Canto DAC1 with updated power supply and tweaked board for $1395, MSB gold link dac $1395, Perpetual Tech P1a/P3a $1700 and others have all been extensively reviewed in major publications in the last year.....Sam Tellig just disco... | |
| best cd player used under 2k. Just curious, why spend 2,000 on a used CDP with outdated upsampling, dac, filters etc when you can get excellent new outboard DAC with state of the art electonics for well under 2,000? | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts Park West in Chicago, Armitage & Clark St, small venue (1-2,000) club that was very posh and had great sound. From 1978-85 I saw many concerts, U2 from 1981 has to be close to best ever. Couple miles up Clark St you had Cabaret Metro near Wrig... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3CD player It is a very transparant, detailed, and in my system very dynamic. As good as any player in the under $1000 new market. If you are looking for lush, warm player this is not for you. Sam Tellig, Wes Phillips, and British Audio press universally giv... | |
| Shakti Stone? Of course it all depends and the design and existing EMF shielding of each component. I have played with stones on various pieces, easy to test just listen with and without, and I feel they don't make a noticable improvement. As a matter of fact I... | |
| High End and Classical Music My music library is 60% rock/alt and 40% classical. Don't need any special equipment as classical recorings almost always are much higher quality than main stream rock. Enjoy the good gear you have now and fine tune with cables and isolation devic... | |
| Favorite Classical Conductor Followup And of course the Brahms 4th on DG originals. I had at one time a Beethoven 4th CD on "Orfeo" label that was also quite good by C Klieber. Unfortunately very limited number of recordings available. Why are there so few recordings, any opinions? | |
| B&W Nautilus 803 & 804 Vs The World Calvin the BW 802 is one of the most aesthetically beautiful speakers ever made, absolutely stunning. The 803 & 4 are also very nice but the 802 is the full culmination of this design. The midrange and tweeter enclosures are works of art, and ... | |
| What CD is your System Reference Dire Straits "sultans of swing" is a HDCD best of collection from 1998, this about as good as any main stream rock album I have ever heard! Lucinda Williams is very good, I agree with Craig. The Sade "best of sade" contains 1994 mastering of her g... |
