| Wadia CD players direct to power amps opinions 861se greatly preferred use of a high quality preamp IME. bar81 nailed it IMHO.bestrzc | |
| Any previous Wadia users?? Or did everyone move? i cannot comment on the 581, but the EMM CDSA was, on the whole, a much better player than the 861se that i owned. the 861 had better build quality, better / deeper bass, and a false leading edge; the EMM was far more detailed, better resolution /... | |
| Sufjan Stevens, Come On Feel The Illinoise michigan is even better. much better, in fact.the rest of his catalog disappoints in comparison.interesting to read the liner notes: he thanks his local priest for letting him record some organ lines taken from the church organ. i want to say you ... | |
| Seeking hot running amps 2nd the Parasound JC1s; however, they have a low-bias / high-bias setting which allows you to control the class A amperage (and heat).high bias turns my room into a sauna (small room), but damn they sound good | |
| How to thwart cats cats hate the smell of citrus. try laying oranges or spraying orange-flavored furniture polish on teh floor around your gear, and then use catnip in the areas that are ok for them to frequent (use scent as a negative / positive deterrent).prior po... | |
| Pet audiophile peeves - name yours heavy amps without handles. thin transport drawers that rely on rubber bands.turn on surges that trip my breaker. | |
| Wilson owners Call of Duty recently sold my transparent reference for the prana speaker cable (review to come Q4 2007 on dagogo). prana is the top of the mountain in staging, almost equal in bass impact, better leading edge, but potential to sound cool if system isn't prope... | |
| What's new on Einstein the tube mkII? i've heard both, and you'll get a bigger diff by rolling tubes or ditching the stock feet than upgrading from the original to the new unit. | |
| Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact? which makes the biggest difference? the worst one in the worst application that you upgrade.i've had it be the amp PC, the IC off the source, the PC off the source, the speaker cable. but never the digital cable! so there!(in all seriousness, ther... | |

| best preamp ever - cost is no object carlos, i'll be happy to address the acrolink mexcel AC cord, as i was the one who found it (in my own system, with the X0-1D2 in context). the sound was dramatically improved, with better frequency extension and tonal accuracy in the midrange.it ... | |
| Review: Acapella Triolons Speaker carlos, thank you again for the invite. but i've heard your system, and given my precious limited time on the weekend, explain to me why it should be different this time? what has changed to make it so different than before? i recall what i heard,... | |
| Esoteric X-01 D2 would suggest you check out my review of the XO1-D2 on dagogo.com, but i also have the EMM in. granted, its only 12hrs on it, so prelim impressions are just that (and i'll write a formal review on dagogo in which i compare the two). very quickly, ... | |

| Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives? stringreen, i must agree w/ audiofeil.i've anticables as a 'sanity-test', and oddly they performed better than $3k cables under a diff config in my system.but these days, they, like all budget cables i've tried, cannot hold a candle to the uber-$ ... |
