Cary 306/200 vs Marantz SA-1 vs Sony SCD-1
Marantz SA-1 hands down. Do a search keyword Marantz from the earlier forums to read about why. 
Seeking opinion for a super duper power cord....
a BMI WHALE power cable. Just do a forum search, and you'll read all about it. I have several Whales and very happy with the results. This is after owning a NBS Statement and a Electraglide Fatboy& Fatman, and a King Cobra V1. Sold them all af... 
BMI Eel vs. Voodoo Mana power cord?
FYI : Lak-I just talked to Brian @ BMI a couple of days ago and he is shutting down from August 12th and reopening for production August 23rd. BMI is in the process of moving to a larger facility for expansion. It also shows this on BMI's Audiogon... 
New BMI Whale Elite Power Cord
As an owner of several Whales in my reference system I have to say they do a great job. The improvements are amazing in the dynamics, soundstage and bass control. A very natural sounding cable without harshness or coloration.Don't just take my adv... 
Anyone Hear the New Nautilus 800 Yet?
The B&W 800s still have the British sound. Still a bit too colored in the mids and rounded on the bottom end. Not my cup. I thought the dynamics were a bit slow. But I did hear it with Audio Research tube gear, so would have to audition with s... 
SACD?????
I have a Marantz SA-1 player. It palys great regular cds and incredible super audio cds. Marantz stopped making it because I heard the costs were too great. Buy one and it will give you years of enjoyment. 
Your Recommendations Please
Jazz at the Pawnshop is pretty incredible. A must have . A lot of the MFSL Ultradisc gold cds are excellent too especially there samplers. 
Power cable and proceed. Which one ?
I second that Once Bitten. The BMI Whale Elite power cable gives me the best results. I use them through out my reference audio system. For interconnects it's Transparent Reference cables. 
Where should the Whale Elite rest?
I have 3 Whales and currently not using a power conditioner. But talkig with other Whale owners who are using power conditioners they had great results. It seems like the Whale thrives on high current such as a big amp or power conditioner if you ... 
BMI Whale Elite - Construction?
Yes Jadem6 you are correct. When I received my first Whale and looked at it in the box, I was blown away. The thing is huge but very surprisingly easy to handle. It doesn't yank your IEC out of the wall and is very tight connection. Most impressiv... 
JPS Power Cords on Amps- who's using?
Sutts- I was using the JPS Kaptovator on a Krell amp. Good detail but edgey and a little lean in the mids and bass. The Whale solved the problem. I ended up selling the Kaptovator and the Krell gear. I traded it for Levinson gear.Now have a Levins... 
Preamp for Pass X350.
Match it up with any of the Nelson Pass preamps, even going back to his Threshold days. Pass X-0, Threshold Fet 10E are two of his best preamp designs. Also, a Threshold T-2 balance preamp is excellent synerygy even though it's not a Nelson Pass d... 
JPS Power Cords on Amps- who's using?
Save your time, I had the JPS Kaptovator last year. Then I bought a Whale Elite. Once heard the results with the Whale, I sold the JPS Kaptovator and bought a few more Whales. Big powerful bass with finesse highs and neutral mids and built nicer t... 
A little bit of Truth
Typo, I meant EZmeralda11's webpage. Hiding behind his bogusname. 
A little bit of Truth
I see WZ's webpage was banned for fraudulent reasons when contacted webjump.com. Just another character who likes to stir the BS.
