| Does Your System Sound Like the Real Thing? The greatest disappointment I experience with my system is following a concert, especially a classical symphonic. The action of the instruments, the delicacy of the strings and brute force of the timpanis is so distant from my system that I often ... | |
| Pass Lab, Mark Levinso or JRDG for Avalon Eidolon Depending on accompanying components, you may also want to consider Classe. I am presently using Classe CAM 200's as a temporary substitute for Atma-Sphere MA-2's. Combined with a Jadis preamp the presentation is very musical with little sacrifice... | |
| CEC owners What Power Cord are You using? I have gotten the most out of the CEC TL-1X/Audio Note 3.1 DAC combo using FIM power cables. Although, I found the CEC a bit rolled off in my system, the FIMs helped with the frequency extension, yet retained the sweet CEC musicality. | |
| Atma Sphere Depending on which amp, i.e. the larger number of output tubes used, the hotter the amp runs. I have the MA-2's which consists of twenty 12AS7's per mono-block. Hot, at times, is an understatement. I live in Wisconsin, so a good portion of the yea... | |
| Sony SCD-1:Is it time to tweak or upgrade to new? I have had a SCD-777 mod'ed by Modwright. The full fledged mod with tubes. The player is quite a different piece. Large improvements throughout, most noticeably in lower grain and hardness. Nice delineation, yet musical. I have not heard the ultra... | |
| Tube DACs You may consider having your Sony modded. Modwright has turned my Sony into an exceptional player. The mod included an added tube section. It surpasses the Sony/Audio Note 3.1x sig. as well as Cec TL1x/ AN. | |
| Favorite Movie Soundtrack "Emerald Forest""The Commitments""The Last Emperor""Under Fire""School Daze""Until The End Of The World""Jesus Christ Superstar"Much of "Casino" | |
| What LP shows what analog can do? Marty Wilson Piper's "Art Attack" Second side is great. Dynamic and extended as it gets. I also enjoy the first side of MFSL Moody Blues "Days of Future Passed". "Emerald Forest" soundtrack. Doc Cheatham's "Dear Doc".Do check other threads on Audi... | |
| CEC TL-0 too analytical? The Audio Note people have been cited favoring their top of the line DAC with the TL-0. I have the AN DAC-3 with a CEC TL-1X. It is extremely musical, but lacks the detail I desire. TL-0 may be a nice companion. | |
| Any one haerd the Gryphon products? I heard their phono preamp with huge mono-block amps driving Avalon Ascents. This in a CES hotel room setting. Music was detailed, extended, and involving. Very pricey. | |
| Review: Shanling SCD-T200 CD Player The upgrade info can be obtained by search through the Audiogon sight. "Underwoodwooly" is selling new, modified units, asserting the upgrades bring the T200 to levels heard from $10,000.00 players. Mods are via Chris Johnson, of Sonic Frontier. C... | |
| Review: Shanling SCD-T200 CD Player Duddley,Is this the standard or modified T200? Steve | |
| Tube Amp for Avalon Eidolon Speakers Cmtong. All that I have heard from other's experiences with the ARC have been complimentary. The set-up, plus my individual tastes likely veered me away from the VT200. I actually approached the demo with the ARC as the amp to buy. I also heard th... | |
| Tube Amp for Avalon Eidolon Speakers Keep in mind the need for power. Your room size and it's absorbtion, tastes in music, and listening levels are some considerations. I often play my Eidelons loud, and although my room is of medium size, sometimes I crave more power. I run the Eide... | |
| Best amp for Avalon Eidolon speakers? Try Atma-Sphere MA-2 or large CAT amps. I personally prefer the Avalons with tubes. As always, system dependent. |
