| Wadia 861SE with GNSC Statement Upgrade Bar81,Have you had the chance to listen to the Wadia 781i and compare to the 861SE Statement? | |
| Wadia 861SE with GNSC Statement Upgrade Hi Chadeffect,You had the 861SE in your system, worked your best to optimize it by all possible means, and it still did not fulfill your requirements. Hence, you are certainly entitled to your opinion and I would regard your opinion as well-inform... | |
| Wadia 861SE with GNSC Statement Upgrade Dear Chadeffect,Although I don't doubt your hearing, the description of the disadvantages you note do not seem compatible with my perception of Wadia. Specifically, lack of resolution, dynamics, soundstage depth, and definition. Those descriptors,... | |
| wadia 781i vs dcs puccini Right. Ditto for a power conditioner... With the proper power cord...A digital source can be very sensitive to power. | |
| Narrowed speaker selection down to 5 choices The reason why I suggested cables is that you indicated the Dali's were satisfying in the bigger room. That means they may have potential in the new room with a little work. Plus, there are no perfect speakers out there, and your new speaker may h... | |
| Narrowed speaker selection down to 5 choices I would continue to focus upon different cables. Notable cables with a warm midrange are reputed to be Jade Audio, Gabriel Gold, Purist, Kubula. I'm sure there are dozens of others. Which ones have you tried?For bass and weight response, think pow... | |
| How is the power range determined? Good topic. I am of the mindset that, in general, people tend to underpower their systems. Although a certain decibal level may be produced by a speaker, it does not guarantee that it will be able to properly delineate the details. The hallmark of... | |
| Power Amps with High Current or High Damping I'll be the first to say that the Wadia is not for everyone. I've never heard the 581, so I cannot speak to that. For me, an emotional connection with a piece of music requires a system to dig-deep into the recording and present all the informatio... | |
| Power Amps with High Current or High Damping David,For some reason, Wadia units take a few days to reach their characteristic sound. This has been commented upon extensively, and it includes everything in their line. I find a cold player to be unlistenable until at least 24 hours. Some claim... | |
| Speakers for the ears, eyes, and for the decade I have Avalons in myrtle cluster burl, and it puts a smile on my face every time I see them.I would be concerned about your amp with the Indras, though. Even if it were to double into 4 ohms, it may not sufficiently fill your room. | |
| wadia 781i vs dcs puccini Your system has plenty of potential for bass. Try the power cord on your source first. If you are using a stock cord, I would insist you start there. I know nothing about Stereovox - it may be great or it may be a weak link. Try repositioning your... | |
| wadia 781i vs dcs puccini Do not sell your 781. Get an Elrod Statement II powercord for it. You are not really hearing the bottom end of the Wadia without a good powercord.I think the bass is one of the many strengths of the Wadia.What are your cables, speakers, and amplif... | |
| Player that excels at imaging.. Agree with the power cord.Disagree with the Pass Labs limitation.Wadia is great at imaging (ie. 381 or 581). I believe having a wide and layered soundstage that is correct requires brute resolution. There are many components that increase soundsta... | |
| AAD 7001 vs Magico Mini MK II I agree with Bvdiman about working with the Avalons in your new space. I believe it could be done, depending upon the layout of other essential items in the room.Avalons are very sensitive to very small alterations in spacing and toe-in. A couple ... | |
| Big Karan amps Karan's amps have the bottom end control of solid state, along with a sweet mid-range. They would probably keep the same company as Lamm, Dartzeel, Pass XA series. However, their power is in a league of their own. They may not have the speed and s... |
