Beware MSS Hifi, avoid Fraud
Milpai,It was also a great disappointment to me. I bought my EMM based on the reputation of EMM as a "great firm", the high esteem that Ed Meitner holds in the audio community as a great innovator and because of the positive reports about the CDSA... 
Transformers .. Is It Just Me?
Ozzy,Mine is 1.380KVA. I would get the highest rated unit you can afford depending on the requirements of your system. I would be careful to choose a unit that is rated at least twice the cumulative watts of your system -- especially if you have a... 
Transformers .. Is It Just Me?
Ozzy,Most welcome. I have a dedicated 20-amp line for my audio system. I think it will come down to the quality of the transformer. I don't think you will find another one like the one I bought -- in the enclosure, made in Germany by Block, with t... 
Beware MSS Hifi, avoid Fraud
Dover,You state "Isn't it funny how you have to pay to fix a known fault in a product."I could not agree more. And it's not so funny. Like with the tray on the EMM CDSA SE that cost $10,000. They charged $1500 for an "upgrade" to the stock tray th... 
Why are so many albums poorly remastered onto cd
Mapman,For me it is a mixed bag. Some are great, others mediocre. 
A poor man's Synergistic Research Enigma PS?
I have a Monarchy AC regenerator plugged into a Bybee Stealth power conditioner that is plugged into an SR PowerCell 10SE power conditioner that is plugged into a medical grade isolation transformer that is plugged into an SR TESLA Plex SE recepta... 
Power conditioning for digital gear AND tube amp?
Lewinskih01,I have a Marantz PM 15 (1993 model) integrated amp rated at 150 watts (8 ohms). Please refer to the link in my post (above) for the original listing and specs for the isolation transformer. No loss of anything -- including dynamics. On... 
Transformers .. Is It Just Me?
Ozzy,It looks like 6 amps. Here is the URL for the original listing:http://www.ebay.com/itm/150810038628?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3303wt_1142I have mine before my SR PowerCell. It dwarfs the PowerCell's sonic effec... 
Power conditioning for digital gear AND tube amp?
Hifigeek1,Is the 60dB an estimate or have you measured it? I am curious about the dB in my system but I don't know how to quantify this. 
Power conditioning for digital gear AND tube amp?
From the TESLA Plex SE receptacle (via power cables in series at each stage, including Bybee purifiers):1. Medical grade isolation transformer.2. Into Synergistic Research PowerCell 10SE.3. Into Bybee Stealth conditioner (for amp, etc.).4. Into Mo... 
Transformers .. Is It Just Me?
The sound just keeps getting better with break-in. I strongly suggest this as a less expensive option for those looking at balanced transformers. 
'Time Out' Classic Records vs. Acoustic Sounds
I have the SACD but I don't have an SACD player anymore. In case anyone is interested. Mint. 
Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage
Jmcgrogan2,With all due respect, I am responding to Polk432 here. If Etmerritt33 feels I have "hijacked" his thread then I am sure he can speak up for himself. With all due respect, no one's name is attached to any thread. This is an open forum. Y... 
HiDiamond Digital IC
Jriggy,In my system the sound stage is very natural. They are not in your face but they don't put you way back in the crowd. Have a listen and see what you think -- and let us know. 
Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage
Polk432,I threw in the towel. The cost of shipping the item back plus the fact that I can get screwed even if I do puts an end to this. I was caught in this bind before with PayPal. They reversed themselves and the seller ended up with the returne...
