| Wadia modification I have had Steve Huntley modify 5 pieces of audio gear in the last year--three for me and two for my brother. The results have been nothing short of spectacular. This is especially true of his mod to my Wadia 830, which has been the largest single... | |
| "Whose" Beethoven do you like? Karajan's 1962 release on DG is among the best. It's decently recorded and reasonably priced too. | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? Dekay, the older 15 ohm versions sound better to me with the proviso that I have not bi-wired the newer 8 ohm versions. From other Audiogon contributors I understand that bi-wiring works a modest but worthwhile improvement. I own 3 pairs of 3/5a's... | |

| Naim 3.5 vs Wadia 830...or wait? Suggest you get the 830 and then contact Steve Huntley @ www.greatnorthernsound.com and let him upgrade it. Huntley used to work for Wadia, and he has several levels of upgrades depending on your budget, but when he is done you will have a player ... | |
| Power Cords I would like to put in a vote for the positive effect of audiophile power cords. I have lived happily for over 15 years with a vintage system, ARC D150, SP3, and LS3/5a's. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me, and I installed some good quality... | |
| Tube Amps who does mods and upgrades? Would like to add my name to the list of Steve Huntley supporters. Integrity is the word. He is also a nice guy who knows a lot but doesn't think he knows everything. We need more like him. |
