| SACD Recommendations How about good classical guitar on SACD? | |
| The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear I have a "Wollensack" cassette deck that has a manual-stick- fast forward?reverse. Anyone know of it? Very few sold. I'm downsizing due to forced retirement and will sell this piece of nostalgia - to a collector.. I've had it since 70's. It played... | |
| What happened with the SACD format? Skinzy, most people don't know what you do-and never will. You're lucky to enjoy that Esoteric.. | |
| Bybee Internal Speaker Bullets - user feedback? Just following on other posts I suggest that before investing $1600 in your speakers check out an MIT Oracle AC1 power cord -- trying it on on your preamp, digital and amp in turn. I think you will notice a distinct improvement in the sound of you... | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? I doubt that anyone on this site is listening to speakers that provide a more musical, dynamic, detailed and accurate presentation than the JBL DD6700. Yes good ol' JBL-the company that provides dance music and classical music sound reinforcement-... | |
| Sold speakers you really enjoyed?... But why? JBL 250Ti's.. Just to big for the apartment. They (seriously modified to eliminate resonance and increase detail) were a musical pleasure for over 27 years. Not a bad investment. | |
| Elrod statement vs Shunyata anaconda zitrons F in so is what I found about the "F"actory "unbelievable" MIT Oracle AC2 cables. $2300 of the best spent monai ((("if" bought from the very helpful Joe Abrams of Equus Audio- he must be busy-check all the ads))-- that elevated a superior system v... | |
| Is there a minimum length for power cords? I bought longer than needed MIT Oracle PC's. I have been "so" grateful for the flexibility provided.The bit of extra length-on occasion-has "never" been even the least consequential--but it has been very revealing/informative/satisfying to be able... | |
| Repair or Replace ??? So your modified 105 was better than your Esoteric for CD/SACD-interesting with the huge cost difference. However the Esoteric is old. Is the Oppo "much" better?? As for the $100 for the Darbee; I wouldn't have thought to pass on it for the price ... | |
| UPgradeing dedicated line components Your options will provide inconsequential improvements.Consider isolation for your preamp and then digital and then amp. Digital hash plays havoc with sensitive amplification. Even fairly modest older MIT Z Stabilizer 2 (plugged in parallel) will ... | |
| Is there a minimum length for power cords? With respected manufacturer MIT there are plain and networked cables of 2 meters. My licensed electrician friend said that to say the shielding is not effective for a short length of power cable is ludicrous. | |
| Repair or Replace ??? Jfpmft. There is no manufacturer who will support their warranty once they see the unit has been opened by anyone other than their authorised service centre--not even the good folks (from all posters) at Oppo.As well, from my above post, I went ah... | |
| Repair or Replace ??? Hard to believe $1000 "peek"fee! My Lexicon RT-20 started to not read discs. It was because motor was going.I was told this is the common reason discs are not read. I suggest you ask Esoteric how much for a new motor for your unit. How did the sou... | |
| Should I upgrade power cord for my preamp? Yes. Lowrider has a great point about AA. You can't go wrong. | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Hmm. That would make you 1 of a kind! |
