| Modwright vs odysessy Extreme Modwright, no contest. | |
| Fried speaker comparison Hey Trelja, I knew you'd jump in on this post. I've owned(still own) many of the "higher in the line" Fried's going back to a pair of C/3L's I built about 30 years ago. I still have them.My brother owned several of the entry level models, Betas, A... | |
| would the Sony SCD 5400 Ex make a good transport? I owned a CEC TL-1 for many years(JWM still owns one) and I'm of the opinion that it's one of the best transports ever made. No big surprise the Sony "didn't hold a candle" to it. Most other dedicated transports didn't hold a candle to it! The Son... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Paulfolbrecht, I listen to most types of music but I'm not into country, R&B, or rap crap!!!Like you, I prefer jazz from the 40's thru the early 70's though I don't care for bebop or the more abstract stuff. I love Ella, Ellington, Satchmo, so... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Podeschi, I'm not familiar with the 208 but knowing Ralph is a big fan of Tri-Planar(Tri Mai too), I'm sure they'll make beautiful music together. I have the most recent version and it mates very well with my Galibier Gavia table(Thom Mackris is a... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Podeschi, I agree with you completely. I too own an analog rig "that costs many multiples more" but since my MW arrived several months ago, most of my time has been spent rediscovering cd's I haven't listened to in ages.Seriously, the best digital... | |
| Replacing The Stock EH 6SN7 Tubes For Cary SLP 05 I use several 6SN7's in my Atma-Sphere MP-1 and MA-1s(20 total) plus two in my Modwright/Sony 5400 and two more in my Cary SLI-80 all-triode F1. I've accumulated at least 70 or 80(lost count) NOS 6SN7's over the past few years including all the on... | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? Blkadr makes several good points. I run my main speakers full range down to around 50Hz then using a good SPL meter and test disc, blend the subs in near that point where they start to creep into the lower midrange then back them off just a bit.Th... | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? "Subs are for people that(dont' you mean who?) buy the wrong speakers." That's the dumbest blanket statement I've read on this forum in a long time! | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? Having owned a pair of REL Stadium 3's for approx. 8 years, I can say with certainty that all of the above posts recommending a REL sub(preferably 2)are spot on!!! As recommended, cross it/them over low and don't turn 'em up too loud. I doubt Kens... | |
| Are New Sony SCD XA5400es Players Still Available? If a used DV-50 for $1500 sounds great in your system, I'm happy for you, but.... I too owned a used one back around 2005 and to my ears(and JWM's) it did sound dry, lean and analytical. When things got busy, the sound got hard and edgy. After a m... | |
| Best preamp for Symphonic Line RG4 MK4 When it comes to impedance, JWM is correct. He's also correct regarding the Speltz autoformers. Some may argue the point but they definitely defeat all the advantages of OTL. Duh, he's also correct when he recommends "tubes somewhere in the chain.... | |
| Are New Sony SCD XA5400es Players Still Available? Let's see, the Sony retails for approx. $1500, the DV-50 retailed for $5500. Duh, I guess it should sound better! | |
| Best preamp for Symphonic Line RG4 MK4 I've owned an RG-1, RG-7 and finally RG-4's. I used Cat's with all of them and there's a nice synergy. For the money, the Cat is hard to beat. My favorite was the Sig. Mk 2 which used 12AU7's in the line rather than 6922's.I owned Cat Sig. Mk 1, S... | |
| Class A Amp owners, Whats your power bill? If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it; better stick with Class D. |
