| scd 777es sacd sony mod worth it? You boys happy with your stock units or living in fear of the "placebo effect", that's cool by me. No need to justify why you would not attempt said mod on this or any other unit. Your life, your gear, do what you like, no skin off my arse. The st... | |
| SACD s to die for I gree with Kubla, the KoB SACD can't hold a candle to the 180 gm vinyl pressing. Tony Overwater's "OP" SACD is one of the best I've heard, great sonics and music. It's on Turtle Records. | |
| scd 777es sacd sony mod worth it? I sent my 777es to Richard at Audience in March. Mines the first they've done (doing). They couldn't get the Sony people to give them a service manual of this unit, apparently Sony doesn't do this on new models, ergo Audience has had to trace out ... | |
| I opened both MIT and Transparent netwks 3C- I've not A/B'd the various subtypes of this fine cuisine at a microscopic level, however I'd guess more $$ = less filler. My personal backyard grill favorite is Hebrew National, a mighty fine tasting weiner. Significantly more palatable than e... | |
| I opened both MIT and Transparent netwks In response to the question of ever cutting open a weiner, well yes I have. Years back in my medical residency, a curious colleague and I made a histologic section of a hot dog and examined it under the microscope. It was 4 years before I could ev... | |
| Airtight ATM300 vs. Cary 300SEI I've owned the Cary and heard the Airtight, to me it's a no brainer, the Airtight is far better sounding IMOP. I sold the 300sei, I could never get used to that overly warm(dull?) sound, and the number of 300sei's for sale on A'gon says something,... | |
| BEST AC CORD UNDER 1000? I agree with one of the earlier posts, whatever sounds best in your particular configuration is what's best for you. I've had a pathological number of PC's in and out of my system, including FIM Gold, Synergistic Research, Shunyata's, PS Audio and... | |
| Looking for smooth SS pre amp I'll mirror sdcampbell re the Klyne, you have too spend more then twice as much to get anything as good and MAYBE better than Stan's pre-amps, and if you can find one used for a good price, it's one of the best bang/buck out there. | |
| Need SS preamp that sounds like tube . I'll mirror mbognar, Stan Klyne makes one of the finest preamps available, ss or tube. It doesn't sound like tube or ss, just music. It's truly one of the best bangs for the buck out there. I've been auditioning pre amps for some time, looking to ... | |
| Music trivia anyone? Good one , Doug, how 'bout Curved Air. | |
| Who's Who in Amp/ Preamp design? An intersting triad of hermitic savants is CTC, comprised of Bob Crump, Carl Thompson and John Curl. The sum of their collective talents is high end gear that goes virtually unnoticed, what with no advertising, hype and essentially word of mouth r... | |
| Music trivia anyone? What band did Stewart Copeland drum for before the Police | |
| Music trivia anyone? Hi Albert- SRV? | |
| Finally taking the leap to Monoblocks You'll get a plethora of opinions re many monoblocks in this price range, and I'll defer to the experience/expertise of those who respond. I will say I'm VERY intrested/curious about monoblocks purported to be coming out around the fall designed b... | |
| Is there an SACD that can play cds well? I related my experience in a different thread( SACD dominates rec. list), so cliff notes version is: I A/B'd the 777 redbook against Theta Jade transport/ dCS Delius/Purcell. I thought the Sony sounded at least as good, maybe better. Sold the dCS ... |
