| Mapleshade CD Favorites Al Lee - "Ain't Playin' The Game." Really an amazing disc from an unheralded artist. | |
| MF Nu-Vista 3DCD Just thought you'd like to know that Ben from Kevro (the distributor for MF) spoke with a couple of dealers AND Antony Michaelson (MF's Managing Director) about my questions ... talk about GREAT customer service. Anyway, the dealers and Mr. Michae... | |
| MF Nu-Vista 3DCD Thanks for your response. One more question: Is there supposed to be a small cutout on the bottom plate just under the transport? As to the sound, it is quite awesome - I didn't find it bright at all. In any event, I'm sure it's gonna get even bet... | |
| Difference between 24/96 and 24/192 I think it really depends on your ears AND the transport. I've found that 96k upsampling sounds far better to my ears since it's not OVERLY detailed - it also (for some strange reason) sounds better with a Sony transport than a Phillips. The 192k ... | |
| What group do you wish would be remastered? "Laid Back" has been remastered as part of the "Capricorn Remaster" series. | |
| B&W 804 Nautilus help I really like the sound of Musical Fidelity gear with the N804s. I'm currently running a MF A3cr preamp and A300cr power amp (225 wpc). I'm expecting a Nu-Vista 3D CD player tomorrow. The N804s really do love power and bi-wiring definitely makes a... | |
| Experience with Coincident Speaker Wire? My entire set up is solid state and the CST-1 speaker cable sounds slammin'. I think a lot of people use Coincident SPEAKERS with tube gear because they are highly sensitive and can handle low power amps such as SETs. As for the CABLE, it sounds g... | |
| Experience with Coincident Speaker Wire? I'm using CST-1 speaker cable bi-wire with my set up (Cary CD 303/200, MF A3cr pre, MF A300cr power amp, Nakamichi DR-8 tape deck, B&W N804s) and I can tell you that they're awesome. Bass response goes down about an octave more and the sound i... | |
| Cary 306/200 or Electrocopaniet EMC-1?? I'd take the Cary over the EC. Although I own a Cary 303/200, I've heard the 306 in a head to head with the EC. Both are fine players. However, IMHO the EC sounded VERY clinical to me, not at all warm. That may be because the upsampling CAN'T be d... | |
| which amp would you choose I'd choose the Bel Canto. I've heard both and find the Belles to be on the dark side and I found the bass to be quite muddy. There's no life to it IMHO. On the other hand, the Bel Canto has a lot of zip and excitement to it. One other thing to kee... | |
| harmonic technology power cord I've tried lots of power cords, expensive and cheap. Of them all, I've chosen the HT Pro AC-11. It gives great slam to the lower registers and highs are crystal clear. From a pure "sound" perspective, they are simply fabulous. I haven't heard a su... | |
| Which direction would you go? Sounds to me like the problem is the amp/pre-amp combo. From my experience, Krell and Threshold components are very bright and "in your face." Mated with the B&Ws, I can see where your ears would be ringing, despite use of the Cardas Cross. Of... | |
| Musical Fidelity A300cr. No, I'm referring to the power amp, NOT the integrated. | |
| Musical Fidelity A300cr. I think you're referring to the A300 integrated. The A300CR is a 225wpc separate power amp. | |
| Has anyone used B&W N.802 on Sound Anchor stands? Last summer, I purchased a pair of Sound Anchors stands for my new N804s. When I spoke to the guy on the phone, he mentioned that B&W had made slight changes in location of the holes in the speaker bottom and that I might have some trouble fit... |
