| Survey-What is your most used source? Only one source here - SACD/CD player.I've recently changed from my much modified Sony SCD-XA777ES with custom balanced output stage (Ric Schultz - EVS) to a new SCD-XA5400ES. A very nice unit indeed.Regards, | |
| Beatles Mono Boxes Good news more on the way My God, Shadorne I hope so. I really do. This release (I'm talking about the mono) shows that great music can be mastered correctly and people will buy it. They don't need to be compressed and maximized within an inch of their life. (Listening to ... | |
| ipod into preamp OK? But not very good. You don't need a "docking station" but you should get a cable that has the Apple male dock connector on one end and RCA plugs on the other end. I can recommend Ken's cables from Audio Line Out.Regards, | |
| Why 6H30 Tubes? Mmm, there are 8 x 6h30 tubes in my BAT. For an amp without a phono stage that seems way like a lot.Regards, | |
| Elrod Statement Gold PC compared to old Statement Good luck with your venture.Regards, | |
| New Beatles remasters Mikelavigne,Excellent points you made on Abbey Road. I have the mono box but haven't started on that. Bought Abbey Road and Let It Be and started in reverse chronological order (I guess). I played "Let It Be" a couple of times in a row and enjoyed... | |
| Shindo and Coincident And a lot of words to quote, Jeffreybowman2k.Regards, | |
| How good is the coincident frankenstein mark 2 amp Jhzoller, can you tell us more about the Pure Reference in contrast to the TV, and perhaps why you sold them.(I have the Super Eclipse II)Regards, | |
| Anyone Try First Watt amp with Total Victory IV Sure, a new Frankenstein from Coincident is expensive.I don't know the answer to "Can I get the set tube sound with solid state ?". But let me respond, anyway.Your room is a bit smaller than mine - mine is 13x24. I have the Super Eclipse with Welb... | |
| Tonearm re-wire - what would you use? When soldering the Eichmann Bullet Plugs, do your best to get a heat drain that really pulls the heat away. A normal RCA socket doesn't work out as well as something I found at Guitar Center. It's an all-metal three pronged contraption with an RCA... | |
| How to listen to the Beatles re-releases? It is still just catchy pop music for the kidsThat doesn't sum up their music at all.Regards, | |
| Power Cord CDP Termination There is a third option of cutting the existing power cable off reasonably close to the unit and wiring on an IEC connector.Regards, | |
| Digital to analog switch I guess by "phono amp with volume" you mean a preamp with a phono stage built in. And by "two pre-amps" you mean a separate phono stage and line stage (with volume control, switching functions). I prefer a complete preamp (with a phono stage) to t... | |
| Anyone heard the new Radikal for the Linn LP 12? Deep pockets. I think it was shown at Munich, and there have been some written reports in the UK press; and the Linnies are reporting an improvement on their forum (surprise, surprise). I haven't heard it, haven't even seen it in the flesh, but lo... | |
| Accuphase SACD DP-85 problem Normally this means that the alignment has gone out of whack, which can be fixed; or the optical pickup needs to be replaced because the laser is going south. My guess is that problems will start to get more severe.If you could get the service man... |
