| High quality transports I'm using a Wadia 270 SE and am more than happy with it. It's built like a tank and has about every output you would need. Not sure about compatability with your DAC though. That would take an actual listening test. But I will vouch for it's relia... | |
| Is a transport/DAC combo better than a CD player The answer to your question is: not necessarily. | |
| Cyndi Lauper & Tom Waits in Phantom of the Opera A good one for April Fool's Day! Although it certainly would be interesting. | |
| Wadia 861 vs. 861 SE I had a 270 converted to a 270se. If I'm not mistaken, the transports are the same in the 861 and 861se. Mechanically, the SE transport is more robust and massive than the standard transport and appears to be of much higher quality. The standard t... | |
| HELP for Tinnitus I don't know whether the bioflavinoids (dietary supplements) will help but just a word of caution, I believe thay can interact with some medications. As far as eardrops probably not. That old ulcer thing, eat bland food and avoid stress blah, blah... | |
| Kimber Select 3033 versus 3035 and 3038 Nighthawk, according to Cable Company all their loaners are fully broken-in to enable customers to start listening immediately. I have auditioned cables from them and enquired about break-in and that was their response. I'm also curious how the Bi... | |

| Music you didn't like at first... but now? I too purchased "Hunter", gave it a listen and was unimpressed. It sat there for about year until I gave it another listen. I don't know what I was thinking the first time (or maybe I wasn't) because this is IMO a great CD. "The Well" is very nice... | |
| McIntosh MC402 Anyone running CDP direct into MC402? Also, any thoughts on MC402 vs bridged pair of 275s? | |
| What Patty Smith album to own? To each his own... | |
| Your favorite versions of Aja and Katy Lied? MFSL Gaucho kicks butt in my system! | |
| Coping in an Age of Uncertainty We've just passed three years on this thread! Please don't let it die. | |
| What Patty Smith album to own? My vote goes for Easter, some really great tunes. Horses and then Radio Ethiopia. Yes, some of the songs ARE challenging. | |
| Your favorite versions of Aja and Katy Lied? I've owned the MFSL Aja CDs. They were alright. The MFSL Goucho is outstanding. Recently purchased a 2 CD set, Show Biz Kids, essentially a greatest hits compilation. I was surprised at how good these sound. Maybe not MFSL quality but still pretty... | |
| balance and single ended what I heard In my current system balanced sounds best. I'm sure that in many syatems single ended sounds best. Just need to experiment between the two because it varies from system to system. There is no "universal" best. |
