| Disappointed in SACD player Leafs - There is always room to move...I've been purchasing new gear since the early 80's and have never payed the sticker price. All this was was a dealer with a captive audience who's attitude was take it or leave it! It was their attitude that ... | |
| Disappointed in SACD player While this is off topic, the only time I dealt with Audio One in TO was making an inquiry as to the availibility of a set of Maggie 1.6's. Was bluntly told" I have 2 pairs in stock and thats the price (MSRP)!" I advised him that I would be in town... | |
| need power cord to my system..... Sean - I am not sure about the NRB version which preceded the current ST version but the ST is torodials - full dual mono construction on one chassis. | |
| need power cord to my system..... SDC - had similar results with aftermarket cords on my 4B-ST. I will qualify that I have not the disposable income to audition the really pricy cords but I played with cords ranging from $50 - $250. No audible gain in performance. My local dealer ... | |
| Odyssey Stratos : what preamp ? I second the Rogue 66 - swapped out a Bryston BP-25 for the Rogue and mated with my 4B-ST (similar to Odyssey somewhat) and the warmth of the tubes really made a difference. I generated a post a month or so ago indicating my observations of the BP... | |
| Power cord for the Rogue 66? I have only tried lower priced cords on my 66 and have found that the "Asylum cord" sold here for about $50 has worked the best so far. Its a simple 14 gauge cord that is well put together based on Bob Crump's design and the proceeds go to charity... | |
| Suggestions on CDP I owned a 8SE for a while and enjoyed it quite a bit. I looked into the cost of upgrading to the 9 Ring dac and found that you can find used 9's for a little more than the cost of the upgrade so maybe upgrading is not the final answer to your prob... | |
| Disappointed in SACD player Its my opinion that the Sony 333ES player which can now be had for $575 is a great starting point - I bought mine 6 weeks before the price drop (my usual luck)... Redbook isn't as good as it should be but SACD is great! I still have a hang-up abou... | |
| 2nd system at Lake home...advice? I bought the NAD L40 for the wife (livingroom) with a pair of JMB Tantal 505's.It sthe 4th system in the house and gets more air time than the others. If you are not looking to blow the walls out its a very nice unit with that typical NAD sound -a... | |

| Which IC is more important? Mapleleaf - offended no, surpised...a little. I very much appreciate those who have come to my or for that matter the defense of those who post in a "short and sweet" manner. Mapleleaf will hopefully see that there are many here that offer excelle... | |
| The "D" word...Has audio ever caused it? Was not the cause but when I left I departed with only my clothes and my gear and I shudder to think of the system I could have amassed if I had stayed and hadn't payed the support I have over the last 8 years... Nah it was worth it | |
| Which IC is more important? One sentence - what is lost at the beginning cannot be recovered... | |
| brulee fails PC challenge As I am not an electrical engineer therfore I can not explain as to why the "reintroduction" of the FIM pc did not make a discernable difference immediately after replacing the stock Belden cord... Out of curiosity what component(s) were used in t... | |
| Anybody dealt with HigherFi.com? Checked things out there too - something at their site reminds me of a retailer that goes by the name of Moon Audio who I believe used the audiogon moniker of "lunac" so I am not sure if these guys (higherfi) are one and the same - maybe someone h... |
