| Biwire speaker cables for Maggie/Bryston/Melos I would try the AP Oval 9 versus the Oval 12 bi-wires. I recently sold my bi-wire 12's in favour of HT Pro 9+ single wires and HT jumpers. Better with my 4B-ST and 1.5's. Would have like to have tried the 9's but couldn't lay my hands on a cheap p... | |
| Shipping from US to Canada I can speak from some experience receiving goods from the US to Canada so here are my comments in bullet form:- taxes and duties will be charged on items coming into Canada based on their country of manufacture.- if made in the USA then you will h... | |
| What do you know about Sim Audio amps? Sim Audio makes excellent gear but can be pricy when bought new. Before I bought my Bryston 4B-ST I did audition the W-5 and loved it - even more than my 4B but it was not worth (to me) double the cost - it wasn't twice the amp for twice the dolla... | |
| Tweak worth 100X It's price - Vibrapods On MIA members - can't speak for but just one, Joe aka Trelja is just fine and is taking a long break to remodel his home and would probably would probably more enjoy listening to music with his sparce free time versus reading/posting. | |
| Good & Bad quality recordings of SACD's? About 9 months back the family gathered around to listen to my new 333ES player and I played identical cuts (verified by liner notes) from 2 Tony Bennett discs - the Ultimate Collection on sacd and a recently released remastered disc. The only per... | |
| Replace Cambridge Audio D500 or add DAC? Hey Cuz, the post was directed to one of the other posters who advised against getting any Sony modded or not. I too questioned this advice as I am sure that the poster had not heard a modded Sony given his geographical location and the lack of Ca... | |
| GEORGE HARRISON Sc53 - HMV.com has a 3LP set released at the same time the remastered cd version came out - not sure if its heavy vinyl though... | |
| Replace Cambridge Audio D500 or add DAC? Sean - I am also interested in Natalie's source of info. My 333ES is in for mods and the only other Canadian that I know of that has either expressed a desire or stated that he is having his sacd player modded is Lorne Cherry (who has the new XA77... | |
| Cary 303-100 versus a modded 333ES Abe - While I have never heard the 303-100 or 200 for that matter (and I'm thankfull I never have - can't miss what you haven't experienced...) the Cary may very well be a more musical player even my my simple system. But since SONY decided to blo... | |
| Audiogon Arnie & Rod M., AA Kudos by STPH. Hear, Hear!!! And a big thanks to those manufacturers and owners of gear who supplied their products, time and effort in making this an altruistic event! | |
| Other great classified add sources,even Canada? Swampwalker - while I will agree that all postal services can be less than speedy I think that recent postal scares and everything since Sept 11th has things moving slower than normal. From my home in western Canada, on Nov 8th, I sent two money o... | |
| Other great classified add sources,even Canada? There are only 2 sites in Canada that I know of - the Audio Centre has a small discussion and for sale board - www.audiocentre.com. The other being www.canuckaudiomart.com. which is much better and free! I have had successful transactions going bo... | |
| good silver IC's to audition? ..(nt) | |
| Can someone tell me what this song is?? Vivaldi's Four Seasons - probably his most well known work! | |
| Suggestions for Path Upward? The only piece we own concurrently is the 333ES changer for which I added in a stock ART DI/O (with Bolder cables) which enhanced redbook presentation over the internal dac in the SONY. You can get one for about $140 with I believe a return policy... |
