MUSE Erato II - Anyone using this player?
Finally, someone who has heard (owns) this player. Thanks for responding! You must have the attenuator module if you are running direct. I would be using it into a preamp. Three questions I have for you are whether the player is good at conveying ... 
MUSE Erato II - Anyone using this player?
Mds, thanks for looking and posting here.I have also seen those reviews. The designer told me the Model Ten (which I owned) would be superior to the Eleven (for redbook CD playback). The designer also considers the Erato II superior to the Polyhym...

My favorite system for 70's rock is the stock system in my Ford Explorer....with the windows down....to quote Ziggy Stardust, "TO BE PLAYED AT MAXIMUM VOLUME" 
Herron VTSP-3A
Since the Lamm is off topic, and I don't want to hijack the Herron thread, I will send you an e-mail. 
Herron VTSP-3A
No, Lewinski, unfortunately I have not yet tried the Herron and I am currently running a MUSE Model Three Signature preamp with outboard display/power supply into my balanced Clayton M300 amps. Although nowhere near as expensive as some preamps I ...

Good one Chayro. 
MUSE Erato II - Anyone using this player?
Amazing, that not a single person that posts on this forum or on Audio Asylum has heard a player that Roy Gregory of HiFi+ calls,"a performance marker against which other products should be compared, a benchmark in the truest sense of the word." 
CDP choices-Looking for advice
If you can stretch your budget just a little, I would upgrade the CDP 0.6 recommended by Drrsutliff above to the Lector CDP 7TL. Even the first generation 7TL machine is likely to be an improvement over the 0.6 due to the outboard and beefier powe...

Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Jamesgarvin, I understand that it would help you form a point of reference had the reviewer made specific comparisons, but they didn't. Maybe you should take Audio Horizons up on their free trial offer and report back on your impressions of how th... 
Coda VS Muse Model 3 Signature
Sorry, I have had a lot of preamps through here, but no Coda gear whatsoever. I am anxious to see how the preamp comparision will go once the quality of the balanced cable I am using from preamp to amps with the MUSE preamp matches the quality of ... 
Coda VS Muse Model 3 Signature
I owned the Model 3 Signature a few years ago and sold it to begin a foray into a variety of tubed preamps. With a recent amp upgrade to monoblocks with only balanced inputs, I found myself in a position of trying to find a good balanced preamp. M... 
Amps in the same class as Pass XA.5 series
Tvad, do you still want to hear a pair of Clayton's or is that water under the bridge already? If you do still want to hear some, I can try and hook you up. Unfortunately, the mfg is in St. Louis and the main distributor is out east. If you ever g... 
Amps in the same class as Pass XA.5 series
A couple of others you might want to compare with the Pass amps include the Lamm M1.2 Reference (110wpc) and M2.2 (220wpc), both of which are monoblock hybrids with a single 6922 tube per amp in the input stage; or the Clayton M200 or M300 (monobl... 
Oppo 83 SE Sound in Absolute Terms ?
No problem Cmalak...I just wanted to be clear. Although I haven't always liked the sonic presentation of the Ayre gear I have owned, I have always respected the build quality, the value for the money, and especially their commitment to customers a...
