| Audio Research Ref: CD8 This is like having an entirely new CD collection. Now I'm thinking ... Do I dare sell this player and get the CD-8? I'm kind of thinking, if, as my contact at ARC says, the modded CD-7 gets you 25% of the way to the CD-8, and I get the CD-8, will... | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 ARC finally replaced CD7 with CD8 in their web site but still it does not appear under new products, also the technical specs are still missing.I copy paste CD8 from their web site below: REFERENCE CD8 Compact Disc PlayerWe are proud to introduce ... | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 Mkilpi, I might say CD8 was not fully burned-in so that the frequency extremes might get even better, but I can clearly say the bass definition of CD8 is superior. It is faster and a bit more neutral in texture so that CD7 is trying to catch the t... | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 As I typed before, I had a chance to get a CD8 and CD7 for the weekend to home and experienced these two with my audio setup. My system basically is ARC gear, Ref-3 and Ref-610T monos. A couple of weeks ago I tested Ref-7 and found it has a better... | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 This weekend I am hoping to listen a reasonably burned CD8 vs CD7 in my system. I will post the results. | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 Thank you Wsill. | |
| Audio Research Ref: CD8 Wsill, you say it is a sonic improvement but also midrange is boosted up. Do you mean the new machine is more aggressive and forward sounding when compared to before mod? I am trying to figure out whether the new version has a different sound pres... | |
| Transfiguration Orpheus, what step-up Scubadooo, I recently moved from a Phoenix to Orpheus. At first listening O did not reveal its real virtues so a well used Phoenix seemed more consistent but even at first minute, O was more dynamic and airy. Now after 30-40 hours, I can say O is ... | |
| Optimal loading for the Orpheus I am using my Orpheus at 1.8 vtf and 100ohm load for my ARC PH-7, I dont have any complains. | |
| Graham Phantom Length Mmike, yes it is for the phantom on sme mount. Before I decided to go with Phantom, I called Michell Engineering, they are very friendly and helpful and provided the armboard as well as telling me there are many happy Orbe owners using Phantom. I ... | |
| Graham Phantom Length Mmike, all I can say is currently I use Phantom with Orbe SE, with Transfiguration Phoenix cartridge and since the installation of Graham, I never thought any other tonearms. Michell is providing a special armplate for Graham so the original SME a... | |
| Great Cartridge for Graham Phantom Can Phantom users tell me how much dampening fluid they use? I use mine at the minimum level of the required range. | |
| Great Cartridge for Graham Phantom Transfiguration Phoenix (new version). List price is 2500-2700usd, it has many virtues of Orpheus to some extend. If you wanna get Orpheus but seems a bit costly, you should consider it. I use it with Graham Phantom currently. | |
| Power Plant Premier vs. Hydra V-Ray Comparison I need to make a correction for my previous comment regarding PPP vs Vray. I dont how it changed its performance whether it is the power cord connection to the main a/c plug or the unit itself, but the character changed drastically after 20 hours ... | |
| Power Plant Premier vs. Hydra V-Ray Comparison I am trying a V-ray for 2 days and compare it to PS PPP which has already been with my system for a while. My first observations regarding V-ray vs PPP is, I prefer to keep PPP and turn V-ray back to the dealer. I am not so sure if V-ray requires ... |
