| single disc sacd player for 300 used David - my advice is to look for a 775 multi-disc player as for the life of me I can't think of a single disc SACD player at that price point in the US. The 775 is reported to be killer on both SACD and redbook given its very modest price and can ... | |
| Power amp recommendations for 1000 and under There was a listing here today for a McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe version amp for just under a grand. Might just be one of the best bargains listed here in a while... No link to the seller, just a recommendation on what is known to be a great amp at an ... | |
| Power amp recommendations for 1000 and under Need some more info here - what's the rest of your system especially the preamp and speakers - both are going to play a significant role in matching a new amp... | |

| FedEX Ground, sure they aren't really BROWN??? I think that either Fed Ex should either run this outfit properly or remove their name!!!Not desiring to use UPS ground I tried to send a pair of speakers back to the manufacturer for trade in and after driving 40 miles to the airport (the only lo... | |
| Has anyone auditioned/owned Shanling T200 SACD Paul, according to the ad placed here yesterday it advises that the anticipated arrival to Canada (so I assume the US as well)will be in mid to late January. Maybe you'll get some early feedback from our audiophool brothers in that part of the world? | |
| Bryston B60 or old 3B + .5B Your speaker choice would weigh heavily on which path to take. I owned the .5B/3B combo back in 1989 and it worked very well together (you're right, no remote with the .5B) but the B60 preamp section is the same as the current BP-20 which is a dam... | |
| Best SACD player under 2,000. Stock - Sony XA777ES as noted above. If you are willing to void the warranty there are a number of units that purchase price + mod costs will be within your budget and their performance may astonish you. Contact the variety of "modders" such as St... | |
| B&W 802N's ???amplification??? Although I don't own either the speakers nor the amp I can advise that when I did hear the 802N coupled to a Sim Audio W-5 I was very impressed. Preamp was the Sim P-5 just FYI.I found there was plenty of good tight bass and the mids/highs were sm... | |
| Marantz SA14 vs. Shanling T-100 vs. Philips 1000 BTW, you could inquire with Ric Shultz at www.tweakaudio.com as he is familiar with the stock Philips and the modded version and what their respective pros/cons are. | |
| Marantz SA14 vs. Shanling T-100 vs. Philips 1000 Don't bother listening to Natalie - He has nevered offered any proof that he has ever heard the new Sony let alone a modded unit. Just review the recent thread where Bwhiteoffered his opinions on cdps and Natalie in general.Unfortunately I can't o... | |
| 25 customs/tax fee to ship audio to Canada ?? It doesn't matter where the unit was made as it pertains to tax. Be it a Thor preamp from the US or a Sonic Frontiers from Canada your buyer was going to pay the taxes because the unit was coming into Canada. The Governments "pretend" like you wer... | |
| Maggie1.6 bi-wire or single? Back when I had my 1.5's I used AP Oval 12 bi-wires and then went to HT Pro 9+ single wires with HT jumpers and prefered the HT. Not really a fair comparison as the cables were not from the same manufacturer not were they the same model but it may... | |
| 25 customs/tax fee to ship audio to Canada ?? Sayas - like you I am residing in Alberta and we fortunately don't pay any PST but all other provinces do pay more than just the GST...A costly "error" by the purchaser but hopefully he'll be happy with the unit.A note to Canuck buyers purchasing ... | |
| Kora Galaxy + Velodyne Sub + Wadia 25 + Tyler Mon You might want to inquire with Ty about the ability of your amp to effectively drive the Taylo monitors. Can't offer more than that as I drive mine with a Bryston 4B-SST... |
