Trouble with my Rel Storm III
Check all the connection from the amp if you have hooked up +/- to left speaker output and + to right speaker output. My Strata III on/off switch is giving me problem after 3 yrs of use, I have to wiggle the switch few times to get it going. 
Wadia 301 disc read error
Finally have the player back. Had a long conversation with a Wadia technician, they were able to reproduce the error at the end and powering down the unit solve the problem and he wants me to try the same and also isolate the power and connect the... 
Wadia 301 disc read error
It could be the software but that does not explain why the software works fine when you copy a original cd to a cdr.Some are saying that cd's with raised inner center causes the problem but I've seen the error without that too. 
Wadia 301 disc read error
Keith from Wadia finally called me and told me that they can't reproduce the error but keep trying. I told him if you can't find anything by this weekend just send the player back. It's been more than 4 weeks they have the player. 
Wadia 301 disc read error
After talking to Wadia at the CES, I'm sending the player to them. They told me that it will be fixed. 
Wadia 301 disc read error
Jppenn,Did the laser fix the problem ? I've a new laser installed but still has the disc read problem. Wadia wants me to send it to them, so they can check it. I'm going to CES in Las Vegas next week and will talk to Wadia people.

Meridian 508.20/24 and the new 507
508.20/24 is still better than new 507. I had a 508.20 for a while and compared with 507. 508 has better bass, nore body and very smooth sound. 507 is thin and forward sounding, also could not stand the noise from the rom drive based transport.Now... 
My DVD player really heats up discs? ?
I've a Sony 999ES, the dvd gets pretty warm after playing for 2/3 hrs, but no issues so far, it's probably normal. 
Stereo SACD on a Multi SACD player?
Yes you can. Look at your manual and set the Sony to play 2ch only for SACD. You need to go to the setup and set the audio output format to 2ch for SACD. 
New Wadia stuff CES?
GNSC room sounded better to me. Steve was playing 861 with his reference mod, CAT amp and Avalon Opus speaker, cables were Virtual Dynamics. 
Meridian 508.20 to 508.24, how can I tell??
I've spoken with a Meridian tech in Atlanta awhile back about the upgrade of .20 to .24, only change was installing the 24bit dac. If you pay extra, they install a new faceplate which is identical to original 508.24. I think the price was $695 vs ... 
How many stereo lovers have you created?
At least 3 so far and a few HT lovers. One of them was not going to spend more than $2K but by the time he loves his system, ended up spending around 8K. 
Replace amp or speakers ?
Stvncar, How VD cables will change everything ? Are you just saying that because you are a dealer for VD ? 
Replace amp or speakers ?
Onhwy61, If the 201's are anywhere near the 112 or Concentra, they should perform, don't see a reason why Rowland will introduce something if its not going to perform. Even though Tempos are within the HCA-2's output limit, I don't think it's driv...
