| Wadia 581SE, DCS Puccini or something else??? Have not compared Wadia 581SE do dCS but can say what Wadias sound signature is in comparison to Audio Aero Capitole SE and ML 390S.Wadia and ML are closer to each other and starkly different players from AA.To my surprise Wadia and ML sounded mu... | |
| Accustic Arts - Wadia? Teajay,I have seen your review, which was one of reasons for this question, to see if others have arrived to similar conclusions.Do you recall how your friends Wadia sounded new, was there a significant improvement over time, and if so, how long ... | |
| Accustic Arts - Wadia? I should clarify, I would connect DAC via a passive resistor based volume control, reason being that I do not find active pre-amps transparent, having Wadia connected directly convinced me this is the way to go.So I am interested to hear opinions ... | |
| Help with finding ultra-transparent pre-amp How does KX-R perform in terms of transparency, when compared to Wadia direct? | |
| Biamp a Bryston 4b sst Bass with a Classe ca3200 Bob_reynolds,I did not verify voltages, I was going by gain specs.But what could manufacturer benefit from publishing incorrect gain values? | |
| Balanced versa single-ended Atmasphere,I am not sure I understand what you are suggesting?When you say I am better off with a good quality balanced line stage between Wadia and the power amps, are you still referring to passive one?If so, I can have Placette RVC in balanced ... | |
| Biamp a Bryston 4b sst Bass with a Classe ca3200 Bob_reynolds,This is exactly what I thought, I was beating this question to death on various forums, was getting different opinions, and finally tried it myself.Had two amps of exactly the same gain, one of them was also 4B SST with 29db gain in 1... | |
| Biamp a Bryston 4b sst Bass with a Classe ca3200 I tried to biamp using two amps with same gain but different input sensitivity (such is your case with Bryston and Classe), did not work well.Both gain and sensitivity must match. | |
| Help with finding ultra-transparent pre-amp Bar81, no more suspense please, let’s hear impressions, from the cold start :)BTW, what is the rest of your system? | |
| Help with finding ultra-transparent pre-amp Bar81, please let me know what the results are once Ayre arrives.BTW, have you ever compared your Wadia with 581 SE without GNSC mods? | |
| Help with finding ultra-transparent pre-amp Darkmoebius,The problem was not with 7B SST input sensitivity or Wadia’s output (which I did not adjust BTW), and here is why.I had another player available during this mini session, Esoteric DV50, which gives much higher voltage on output, proble... | |
| Is there such a DAC? The problem is that there is no DAC I really like and would be willing to spend money on to replace existing one I have, have not heard one yet.Based on limited experience, it would appear I do not like upsampling, and majority of todays DACs do ... | |
| PMC IB1's close to rear wall, is this O.K.? Ryder,As a matter of a fact, my friend used to have the same speakers as you, PMC LB1 Signature, now replaced with IB2. The rest of system remained the same, with addition of room treatment. | |
| PMC IB1's close to rear wall, is this O.K.? Ryder,I cannot say with certainty, but I would guess 17X15 or so, placed along the longer wall.He is quite close to the speakers, around 9 feet, anything closer would not be good.The acoustic treatment did wonders in his place, there is still a ta... | |
| PMC IB1's close to rear wall, is this O.K.? It is hard to say if you are going to have issues with placing IB1s close to the back wall.I have IB2 and they are approximately 4 ft from the back wall, in a room that is approximately 18X18ft of unusual shape with no corners, so I have no issues... |
