| Lend me your ears... Thanks. I have a Cary SLP 98 and that's why I'm considering the DMS 800. If the 800 is as good as the 98, it's delicious. Would you say the sound is tube-like as I suspect it is? Warm, neutral, cool, reticent, assertive? I'm a fan of Henry Threadg... | |
| Lend me your ears... The soundproofing is to reduce the sound outside the listening room. The goal is to be able to listen in the wee hours at reasonably high volume. Damping will be used judiciously. The LS50s are a bit bright in my ear. | |
| Lend me your ears... I haven't even heard of Melnas. Can you point me at a download? We will have one 20 amp duplex outlet on its own circuit There will be the floor-to-ceiling drapes, a large tapestry the large leather recliner and sculpted berber carpet, and ... | |
| Lend me your ears... Ghdprentice I do not have a picture of my listening room because we're just moving in to a condo and the outlets are being wired for 20 amps and the walls are being soundproofed. The room is 18' X 15' and will be fully carpeted. The only furnitur... | |
| Lend me your ears... Cleeds; I expect, at this price and reading reviews I know to trust, I'll come out well. Look at the advice I'm getting - can't miss | |
| Lend me your ears... Maxdukecapone - I use the Luxman amp too. You've intrigued me, though I love the slp 98 I use. | |
| Lend me your ears... Excuse me. My library is just approaching one tb, not one gb. I enjoy comparing interpretations of a given piece of music. Kirsten Flagstad sings my favorite Kinder. | |
| Lend me your ears... Thanks to all. Mahler; I'd like to do this for around $15k and have the capability to rip CDs My listening will be through Roon. I have a library just approaching 1 gb - including every version of the Kindertotenlieder I could find - and will st... | |
| Shrill high frequencies The solution was to plug the Isotek into an Audioquest Power line 2 with a Nordost QRT inserted. Thanks to all for sharing your mighty brains and happy listening! | |
| Shrill high frequencies At your suggestion I changed the power cord from that provided to Shunyata Delta. No joy. Maybe break-in time will help. | |

| Replace HDD in Sony HAP Z1ES with an SSD I decided to get the Modwright upgrade to my HAP Z1ES, and I had them install the SSD. So, I can't help you. Sorry. I can speak in general terms.The HDD native to the HAP will look nearly identical to the one you bought. HDDs are usually mounted ... | |
| Replace HDD in Sony HAP Z1ES with an SSD I've been able to do A/B comparisons with an Aurender N100h (similar in price to the HAPZ1 + mod) and a Melco. The Melco came close, but lacked the last measure of bass articulation and heft. The Aurender has superb timbral accuracy, but blurs a b... | |
| Indoor FM antenna Thanks to all. I bought a Magnum Dynalab ST 100. The woman who sold it to me said her situation is very similar to mine (20 miles to a public radio transmitter through heavily wooded exurbia) and hers works like a charm.Happy listening to all! |
