| I need a Pre-Amp What should I get? Try a used Audible Illusions Modulus 3 or Conrad Johnson tube preamp. | |
| Forsell DAC and transport the best? Like Rcprince said above^, the Forsell is a major tour-de-force, if I did not get my CEC transport, I most certainly would have bought the Forsell MK2 for sale here on the Gon for 5.5K, which is a great deal. These transports when combined with a ... | |
| Wadia 861 SE VS. Wadia 27ix v3.0/270 transport Hi Mejames, I've always wondered about seperates vs. all in one player. For this one you might want to call Steve from Great Northern Sound, he might be able to give you a little more insight on this, just a thought. | |
| Differences in sound CAL Icon, Sigma, Alpha ? Ditto on the above, I compared the Icon on its own and with both the Sigma & Alpha. The dacs add much more stage size, better resolution and bass, in addition to flexibility (tube rolling & digital cable interface). Ended up with the Alpha... | |
| Does transport matter if using external DAC? No question about it, makes a big difference, my CEC took things to a whole new dimension. Also, the choice of digital cable will play a part in this as well. | |
| warmer pre-amp for Adcom GFA 555II A CJ PV11 is a great choice, or an Audible Illusions Modulus 2D (had both). Assuming you're running a digital front end, I'd try to stay with a good used player or better yet, a good used tube dac, and you'll be there. At this level you can do all... | |
| B&K Amp Modifications ?? Thankyou,.................. anyone else to consider ? | |
| Tube DACs This is very interesting, I like the idea of being able to tailor your sound for whatever reasons necessary (although some may disagee in that respect). How this dac would compare to the Audio Aero Prima (dac) and the Audio Logic is what Bigkidz a... | |
| Tube DACs Not to take this thread off track, but in response to Newbee's comments, I would suggest a CEC transport in front of that Alpha. I will say that took care of the "forwardness" you're describing. I'm running that combo now with an Orchid cable and ... | |
| B&K Amp Modifications ?? Actually, I have the latest (at that time) M-200's and was thinking about having some of the internals reworked (power supplies, caps, wiring etc.) | |
| cleaning your spade connectors I use Barg's Rootbeer or Liquid Plumber, then flush with plenty of water !! ......................... Just kidding, really a small wire brush and some Caig Pro contact cleaner would work well. | |
| Anyone Heard Denny Jiosa ?? Eldulcesol, thanks to you for introducing me to Denny's music. BTW, you really have to get "Moving Pictures" Talk about versatility !!.....I think this one's my fave. | |
| Anyone Heard Denny Jiosa ?? I now have the same five cd's Lngbruno has, and even my wife says this stuff is REALLY WAY COOL, and it is. Just wish I'd found it earlier, but I'm really glad I have it now ! Thanks guys! | |
| Anybody using Satellite Radio? That's funny, I'm in the same boat, I don't own a tuner because I personally think the music they play (in my city at least) is generic bubblegum, same ole, same ole, all the time, drowning you with sickening commercials. That "XM"? Satellite musi... | |
| Jazz Guitar Tune At 6:48 P.M. On Weather Channel ? Well, thanks to the help of Eldulcesol, it WAS a Brian Hughes tune, turned out to be track 4 off his CD "Between Dusk and Dreaming" called "Promise You". I can't stop listening to it ! Many thanks again. |
