| THE EXTERNAL DIGITAL CLOCK How do you like the Magicos? I am interested in them and heard them at CES. I noticed however only one binding post. Do you need to order them differently to be able to bi or multi amp? I would like to play my wavacs and mbls together on them.Thnx... | |
| IMAGE PROBLEMS VOCALS OFF CENTER If you have tried swapping and eliminating all hardware (checked voltage output on standard tone out of each amp etc) then clearly it can not be the equipment. It is you or the room. If you know for sure others hear it (or you have tested your hea... | |
| Static or other weird hum problem Thank you. I will try this out although I think that it seems to be a grounding problem. I tried my Lamms on and the techician measured 130V on the chassis!!Best,Michael | |
| EMM DCC2 vs Hi End Preamps Rgs92 is right. There has to be a demonstrable difference to be worth the extra dollars and space. You can use them for other upgrades or to take your wife to a vacation to thank her for putting up with the ugly EMM gear in the living room (I love... | |
| Reimyo CDP vs EMM Labs/Meitner I live in Tokyo so I know well all the aforementioned players and some of their dealers. Since the EMM gear started selling in Japan this year, people are returning their Reimyos, Esoterics etc. They are listening to the new CDSD player, not the P... | |
| Best Upgrade? Thank you all. I think I will focus on room accoustics first. Changes in speaker positioning can be heard loud and clear and my room is a little bright given that it is full of glass windows. Interesting though that there is no consensus!Very best. | |
| Best Upgrade? Somehow I am not as convinced that it would make such a huge difference. | |
| TEAC Esoteric X-01 SACD/CD Player Here in Tokyo it is considered as the best sacd. the UX1 has compromised quality for formats (compromises at this price level may not be a good thing) but I have heard the X 01 and it is more impressive than the best of Accuphase and certainly bet... | |
| KRELL SACD or TEAC Esoteric DV-50 Higher cost but I live in Tokyo and Esoteric is now selling two $12,000 brand new models (universal player and SACD player) which are far superior. Much more expensive, of course. | |
| Sonus Faber Grand piano home I have them (just upgraded) and I think if you run them with a VTL ST75 integrated (or is it 85?) you will have a lot of fun. Also could try the CJs but they have less power. | |
| Lost in Speaker Cable Land - $350 Budget I have the grand pianos too, among other things, and I used to run them with Analysis Plus Oval 9s. I highly recommend them. | |
| Preamps: Rogue v. VTL v. Blue Circle VTLs used to have reliability problems being a new company etc but they have clearly gone a long way and I think they are the way of the future for tubes. They are trying to make them simpler to use and their more recent models are amazing. I have... | |
| Hovland HP100 hum? Thank you all for the advice so far. I have unfortunately done the following:-changed interconnects--> no effect-turned on/off the light --> no effect-disconnected all TV/cable related cables from anything relatedAnd the damn thing is not go... | |
| Kharma Ceramique 1.1 vs JM Labs Alto Utopia I dont think anything tops the tweeter of the Altos. I know people have their views on this but mine is that its accuracy, especially when driven with tubes, is wonderful and not tiring at all. The bass is good, not the sort of experience you woul... |
