Grace Level ll
The cartridge line came out in the mid 80's. I believe it came out at the same time as the F14. The level 11 was based upon the F8 and the F14 was based upon the F9. They had upgraded parts, styluses etc. The one that I am looking at has a Boron C... 
SAP Audio - - Orphaned equipment?
the distributor is still in Hawaii. I believe he still stays in contact with the designer in Italy. The designer is coming out with a new line.I am sure Deja Vu Audio is still in contact with the distributor. 
QUAD 99 series separates vs.best integrated amps
I would second the Quad system and they take little room. If you had to get an integrated and a phono stage, the Quad system is as compact as the integrated and the phono.I really prefer the Quad sound vs the Krell sound and/ or the McIntosh integ... 
Quad 99 phono stage?
I fine it excellent. Have had no need to get a different phono stage. It's a bargain 
Review: Coda FET-01p Preamplifier
I have a FET01p and FET02b preamps. Have to agree. They are state of the art.The phono stage is one of the best I have heard, regardless the price. Most phono stages allow you to change the gain and change the ohms. However, most phono preamps do ... 
Linn Wakonda or Coda model 02b preamp
I would vouch for the Coda equipment. Well built. Bullet proof construction and very good sonics. For the money, can't be really touched. Much the same as a Threshold. 
which should i purchase (tetra or sonus faber)
I would second the Tetra's. I have owned both. Sold the Sonus and still have the Tetra's. Have to be heard. 
Using Japan 100V Accuphase amp in US 120V. Safe?
you now know there was no difference. the transformers are listed 100- 120 v. which is the same as all North American units. there was no need to use a step up/down convertor 
Audio Physic Virgo II vs Avanti III
I would not trade the Virgo's. We spend far too much time "upgrading" and in that search for that one minute of perfection, we tend to go in circles.I am a Virgo owner and have similar tastes. I have a Pass X250 and have had great luck with it. I ... 
DK Design Review
I just happened on this thread and since I don't have a lot of time being able to surf the threads, I am surprised by back and forth bashing of each other over this brand.It does remind me of when Odyssey started out with the Stratos. It was the s... 
Transport for Audio Note gear
why not use one of their transports? I have used their transports with their DAC's and nothing has beat the two together. Try the 1 or 2 transport 
EMM Labs DAC6 vs. latest version dCS
jetter maybe you will finally realize you might have something special in your system already. If you read Meitner's interviews, he based SACD on his BIDAT. He was very close to DSD with his original IDAT.He only mentions that he just tinkered a b... 
Tube pre-amp for Bryston 4BST?
I would go with a Copland as well- with Bryston and with almost any other amp as well for that matter. The 301 mk l or ll are that good. The preamp is seriously undervalued and priced. They outplay preamps costing 5 times as much. There is a reaso...
