| The Canadians that visit the site Not sure about all products originating in Canada but I would guess after converting your US money into Canadian dollars (currently in the crapper) you would come out ahead. As far as Bryston goes they discourage Canadian dealers to ship cross-bor... | |
| Wheres the best place to find a Scott 299C? Mark - there is a "type 299" Scott integrated for sale at the Canuck Audio Mart (www.canuckaudiomart.com)for about $175 US ($275 Cdn) but there is no mention of a type "C" designation. As I am unfamiliar with Scott gear I'm not sure if this is the... | |
| Which multichannel SACD player? Yup, the new Sony XA777ES - excellent redbook and killer multi-channel SACD. Can be bought for around $2K (Oade Bros.) | |
| First upgrade from Linn Classik? I just made changes to a similar but lower ended system (the wife's). She had a NAD L40 (similar set-up to Classik) and a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze 2's. I used the preamp outs and hooked in a new NAD C270 amp (120 w/ch) and it took everything t... | |
| Power cord for Rega Planet 2000 You don't advise as to the limits of your available income so I'll offer an inexpensive choice - LAT International makes a great cord for around 100 dollars new. It does a great job on my modded 333ES player. Best advice is obviously to wait for m... | |
| Where can I find SONY ES??? Not sure if this model is current so excuse my ignorance but Oade Brothers would appear to have the best prices on all Sony ES SACD players that can be had currently. Check out their website for their phone number and inquire. They are at www.oade... | |
| power cables? What can I expect? The Asylum cable from DIYcable.com might be another choice. The Asylum cable is touted as a great value and I believe its priced near the Absolute cord. I haven't used the Absolute so I can't comment but as the other posters have indicated it woul... | |
| Any audio gifts for Christmas? Software and gift certificates for more software. We bought the daughter a dvd player so after dinner I get to dive into the rat's nest of wires she lives with and do the installation. | |
| Magneplanar 1.5 -- What amp??? I own 1.5's amd they work very well with my Bryston 4B-ST. Maggies love current so the more power you can throw at them the better. You don't advise whether you need a power amp or an integrated amp but remember you'll need at least 200 w/ch at 4 ... | |
| Where R U????? Okotoks Alberta (just south of Calgary). Have thoroughyly enjoyed my last 2 years here. Seasons Greetings and a safe holiday wish for all members and their respective families! | |
| Magnepan MGCC1 & shysters Being Canadian I'm taking this personally! Its hard enough to get those of you who reside south of the 49th parallel to do business with us "Canucks"as it is!Was this deal set-up through Audiogon and if so have you contacted them to assist in the ... | |
| Shipping from US to Canada Jason - it does not matter where the product is manufactured. A cross border transaction using UPS brings about their requirement for brokerage paperwork and the subsequent cost. | |
| Best Cheap, Small, High Sensitivity Speakers Check out Axiom line-up at www.axiomaudio.com. They apparently offer a 30 day trial but there is a vendor in Canada who ships to the US with lower prices but negates the 30 day return policy. | |
| Modified you SonySCD-c333es? Tell your experience? While it has not even reached the 50 hour mark there are significant differences from the stock unit;- soundstage has widened and depth has increased- much smoother presentation on redbook, "smokes" (to my ears) the stock presentation and handily ... | |
| Studio gear vs. Hi-Fi gear Is Hi-Fi a ripoff? Let's assume for the moment that the end result of an album mastered and voiced on less than desireable equipment (based on our requirements) is determined by the producers and engineers to be "adequate" for the general public.If it meets their ap... |
