| Atma-sphere S-30, any users out there? I've been using an S-30 for 6 years with my JBLs and it sounds fantastic. Excellent transparency, bass & soundstage. I've done some upgrades on the power supply bringing it up to current production. I also added teflon coupling caps. I'm also ... | |
| Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears? I got tinnitis from taking celebrex. I had taken other anti-inflammatories before with no problems. The package insert lists tinnitis and deafness! as possible side effects. I find gingo bilboa is helpful for this condition (increases blood flow).... | |
| Sony DVD9000es player not decoding hybrid SACD To clean the lens you have to open up the case & unscrew an access plate then carefully use a q-tip on the lens. I've read that there is a commercial lens cleaner in the form of a cd type disk that will clean the lens. Check threads on this fo... | |
| Sony DVD9000es player not decoding hybrid SACD Had the same problem. There is an alignment procedure in the service manual, which may work. Also try carefully cleaning the lens. No problems since doing this about 2 years ago.-Stephen | |
| Operas... Any fans? Wagner's Das Reingold (London, Sir George Solti) is an excellent recording that Stereophile recommended. The music and singing are beautiful:"...the full power and weight of a symphony orchestra are still delivered with tremendous impact." I feel ... | |
| Dan Wright "Absolute Truth" mod for SCD-1 / 777es A cost effective way is to buy a used sony 9000es and get Modwrights level III mods with tubed output stage. Cost is $1200 & the results are outstanding all for less than 2k. The tube stage puts a level III modded player in a totally different... | |
| Pre-Amp Recommendation I second the Atma-Sphere MP-3 it is outstanding! | |
| What is a NOS 6SN7 tube with these tube testers?? Ask Kara Chafee. She repairs hickock testers and with an email address of 6sn7@abac.com should be able to give a definitive answer! That said, I think its more important to have the two triode sections in an individual tube to be closely matched t... | |
| Separate ground for dedicated line Thanks guys! I will skip the extra ground. There has been mention of using sheilded belden cable for a dedicated line. I was wondering how the sheild is connected: on one end to ground? | |

| Opera recommendations on vinyl Turandot with Boerling and Tebaldi recorded in 1959. I believe its still available. Good recording and outstanding performances. | |
| Is there an easy to use vcr? I bought a panasonic about 1 year ago and nobody can figure it out! I have a few degrees in physics and a pharmacy degree so I'm not technically challenged. The manual is inscrutable and I don't feel like starting a research project to master it. ... | |
| Transport loud with SACD? I have the 9000es and cannot hear the transport spin unless i get my ear right up against it. Then maybe I can just barely hear "something" when playing an SACD. I just tried it & have not compared noise on a redbook cd. Mine is a new player t... | |
| Harmonic Technology Fantasy AC 10 power cord I have 2 AC10s and another one on the way. I was so stunned by the difference one made powering an UO over the stock cord, I had to get another. The 2nd one didn't make a huge difference on a atma-sphere M3 preamp, but really helped on the atma s-... | |
| Has anyone done the mod to their Sony DVP 9000es? I just purchased one on e-bay and am having it sent directly to modwright for level 2 mods ($500 "the best bang per buck"). I expect this to take a few weeks. I have not heard one stock or modded but would be willing to do comparisons if anyone ha... |
