Melos MA333 Reference upgrade worthwhile from MAR
I have the Maestro and want to upgrade my alps volume to the photentiometer also. I upgraded the output caps and the sound is better. 
Music from my computer notebook - how?
As long as it has a sound card and Windows media player, your good to go. If you are just ordering it, Windows media player should already be installed with Windows. Windows media player plays allot of differant audio and video formats. You could ... 
Melos MAT-180 tube amp- anyone heard it?
I have a Melos MAT-180 and I drive North Creek Rythym speakers (88db) to very loud levels. I have had the amp for two years and enjoy it very much. I think for the money they are a great buy. 
Melos SHA Gold Vs. Audible Illusions L1.
I have a Melos Maestro (New model SHA Gold) and I enjoy the sound very much. I have had no problems with the unit and would recomend it to anybody. I have not heard the AI 3a or L1 to compare. If you buy a SHA Gold do a tube change to Amperex 7308... 
ZuCable any Opinions
The Firemine is breaking in and it is highly recomended. The cable changed everything for the better. I use it between my Pioneer Dv-333 and a Audio Note Dac-1.1x (1x oversamling dac). My system is Melos gear and speakers are North Creek. Speaker ... 
24/96 Transports
I have a dac that will accept a 24/96 digital signal and I do not want to puchase a transport or DVD that does not have a 24/96 digital out. The information you have all supplied is great. I will only use the DVD as a transport not for DVD's so ei... 
Best Tube Dac you ve heard
Any Audio Note Dac with 1x oversampling. I received a month ago a Audio Note DAC-1.1x. It brought a whole new dimension of sound to my system. I was using a PS Audio Ultralink II with a Cal Delta transport and then changed to a Pioneer DV-414 DVD ... 
ZuCable any Opinions
I just received my Firemine .75 meter digital cable. Without burn in it bettered the Stealth cable I was using. It is a stiff cable with good build quality. I am very happy so far. 
Melos updates worth it?
Sedond, I did contact them and the update for the preamp sounds ok. They remove the FET's from the circuit. Brant mentioned that he does not have parts for the photentiometer and did not mention a new one. He said that I would be better off updati... 
Melos updates worth it?
Do you think the circuit is the same for the Maestro and the sha-gold except the caps upgrade? I know they have a update for the MAT-180 but the preamp is more reasonable to upgrade and I think I want to try the preamp first. The Maestro volume an... 
Melos updates worth it?
I have a Maestro, I have opened up the cover and found horrible solder joins (which I re-flowed) chandged to amperex 7308 gold pin and noticed the unit does not have the photentiometer. I talked to this Melos update company 5 months ago (I lost th... 
Rear Projection TV
What about Hitachi? I have a Hitachi UltraVision and enjoy it vey much. I was told that Hitachi makes the guns for almost all other projection TVs except Sony. 
Favorite Xmas movie ?
Christmas Vacation! 
Hear ye! Thou who knowist thy speakers..
I agree with the ProAc recomendation. Any Responce 3.0 and up used would be perfect. I owned a pair of Responce 1's and thought they were great. I bought a North Creek kit and it is very close to the design of the large ProAc speakers and enjoy th... 
Tube advice
I agree with Rfraudio. I just received my Amperex PQ 7308's for my Melos Maestro preamp. I swapped out the Sovtec 6922's for the 7308's and found a hugh differance in sound quality. Love the Amperex PQ 7308's.
