| mods for Adcom GFP-750 Sean, thanks for your input. I'll remove the product names and just ask the questions in a generalized way. In terms of "bang for the buck" which components are usually better to replace in the power supply and analogue output stage circuit? Capac... | |
| mods for Adcom GFP-750 Sean and SDcampell, thanks for your inputs. Its good to get constructive opposing views on the same subject. I'm considering modifying my cd player, Sony SCD-777ES SACD. What is the prefered way to route internal wire and which internal wire works... | |
| Marble to place speakers on? Dave,There is a marble and granite wholesaler in Lancaster. For granite, you will speed $50 a plate (custom cut). I won't worry so much about the added height unless your couch sags. I did talk to Audiopoints last week about using their Sistrum Pl... | |
| Talon Khorus question I've own the Khorus for over 5 months. They replaced the so called Sterephile Speaker of the Year, Eggleston Andras. As soon as I uncarted them and listened to my reference recordings, I knew I made the right choice. Don's discription of the speak... | |
| Best Pre-amp under 7k I had the Presense Delux and found the same issues with gain as Evansdad is reported. It was a good preamp but it lacked transparency. When I replaced it with the Aloia Inductive I made the right choice. Its transparency and dynamics are equal to ... | |
| Modifications to digital ... SCD777ES Audience has emailed me. The upgrade detail is given below:Thank you for your inquiry. The full modification is more of a reengineering. The result is a state of the art player. It will benefit CD and SACD. It solves the biggest problem of digital... | |
| Modifications to digital ... SCD777ES Simon,I was considering a few sources. Musical Design, Stan Warren, and Dan Wright for the component bypassses. I just talked to Jerry O. at Audio Logic and his price to add his tube output stage went up from $1250 to $1450. I'm concerned about th... | |
| To tube or not to tube... I've owned SF Line 2, First Sound Presence Delux, and Golden Tube SEP-1SE tube preamps, EVS passive attenuator, and the Aloia solid state Inductive Power Supply preamp 14.01. Nothing compares to the Aloia in terms of transparency, soundstaging, ne... | |
| Which SILVER cables sound best? Anyone compare Acoustic Zen to Siltech FTM-4 Sg G3" ic or cable below this one (lists for $1100)? I thought Siltech FTM-4 I borrowed from the Cable Co was almost like no cable at all in the signal path. | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations If you are only using one source such as a cdp, then try the EVS nude attenuator. I have used this with the EVo and the SCD-777ES SACD. This works well for $250 IMHO. | |
| Best DAC Under $5000 - Opinions Please Ehider, how do reach Stan Warren? | |
| Mapleshade Recordings..GREAT or what? Hi, I just ordered 6 cds to enjoy. Of the two I opened so far "After Glow" and "Making Wopee", I very satified with the recording. High have a high res system (Talon spk, SACD, Bel Canto EVo, Nirvana ic and Silteck spk). They are on par with recor... | |
| Digital Amps. How good are they? Treyhoss, when you look inside the Bel Canto, they used a ferrite choke just prior to the transformers (wire is wrapped around the cylinder shaped choke). All of my cables are shielded (Nirvana, Siltech, Powersnakes). I also have 2 dedicated ac li... | |
| SACD's: Recomendations, ones to avoid I finally openned the Mobile Fidelity Duke ... Orbit. If you have an SACD player you must get this SACD. This is cearly the best recorded SACD. If Mobile Fidelity produced all of the SACDs, this format would really take off. | |
| Sources for NOS tubes This is a correction to my last response. I was only referring to the 6922 tube. I didn't know there has been such a run on these tubes. If I was looking for another tube I would have been able to buy them from Kevin Deal. Of course my first choic... |
