| Why few discussion on Audio Machina CRM, CRG, CRS? No - that is Geoff Kait's Machina Dynamica. http://www.machinadynamica.com/Karl is the real deal. I've not heard his latest speakers but I was most impressed with his old Ultimate Monitor with the BOMB bass extension module many CESs ago. I'd love... | |
| The Piano - Herbie Hancock Thanks for the recommendation, and thank you Jazzcourier, for your comments - very interesting. I'll look out for it.Regards, | |
| CD mastering a lost art? I prefer original CDs by quite a margin - those made in Japan or West Germany in the period 1982 - 1990. Most non-specialist mainstream remastered CDs reduce the dynamic range and increase the level which has a bigger downside than the marginal in... | |
| Grounded vs. ungrounded power cord Sure you can.I have a Sony SCD-XA5400ES and the IEC inlet only has the two pins. I use a TG Audio SLVR power cord with it. I previously used this same cord on a mofified Sony XA777ES which has a ground pin.Regards, | |

| Using XLR cables on the Sony 5400 SACD player? I have balanced leads from my 5400 to the BAT preamp. Cables are from Grover - Switchcraft XLRs. I'm with Kal - should definitely work.Regards, | |

| Best Pre with a built-n phono section? Allen Wright's RealTime RTP-3D (Vacuum State Electronics) is a very realistic sounding preamp, to say the least. Superb phono section. If you can afford it, you would be buying a preamp that has been carefully refined over 25 years by one of the b... | |
| Laser for XA5400ES Great price, Rwwear. Wow.Regards, | |
| Manual vs. Auto Bias Manual bias adjustments here with a 2 minute soft start (Lamm ML2.1). Need a decent true RMS voltage meter (I use a Fluke) and one has to make adjustments to both plate voltage and current on each monoblock. The measuring jacks and adjustment pots... | |
