What transport is Wadia using in the 581se & 781? It is a Sanyo transport, heavily modified by Wadia. | |
Difference between the Wadia 581 and Wadia 581 SE I have a 581 that I upgraded to SE. My 581 had software glitches that were solved with the upgrade. Much better sounding player now. Deeper soundstage, more separateion between instruments and trouble free. The SACD and CD are now much closer in v... | |
C.d player with built in Pre amps i.e Wadia Nelson Pass does a nice job of explaining things in an article. You have to go through the wohole thing.www.enjoythemusic.com/diy/0708/first_watt_b1_preamplifier. | |
Lamm + Wadia. A Good match? Nelson Pass has an article on a buffer he made that makes sense of the volume control argument. You have to breeze over the technicla stuff to glean the salient points.see www.enjoythemusic.com/diy/0708/first_watt_b1_preamplifier.htm best of luck | |
Lamm + Wadia. A Good match? I've had BAT VK30, BAT VK 51, Pass labs Aleph P and a Hovland pre-amp in my set ups and running direct has been best in all situations. You have to give yourself some good audition time. I'm always shocked to hear people say they can't get the Wad... | |
Lamm + Wadia. A Good match? My recommendation is to go direct. The digital volume control is the best invention in audio. You have to set it up properly though. Pre-amps add color if you want it abut at the cost of resolution, timing and separation of instruments. That shoul... | |
C.d player with built in Pre amps i.e Wadia I've had the Pass Labs D-1 dac and ran it direct into my power amps with incredible results. I then ran it through a modded BAT 51 SE pr-amp (a great pre-amp) and was shocked how much better it sounded direct. Since then, I've had the DCS Delius, ... | |
wadia 581 My 581 skips and doesn't recognize sacd Well I owe Wadia and my fellow audiogoners a final word on this thread. I got my 581 back after the SE upgrade and am very impressed. I am running it direct into Pass Labs XA60 monoblocks and am very happy with the result. I believe the digital vo... | |
Audio aero capitol reference cd - upgrade Definitly have it done by someone local. Those pads are just neoprene pads easily relicated. The caps are right on top and easily replaced. Very big improvement in my system although it sounds like you have some standing wave problem or whatever. ... | |
wadia 581 My 581 skips and doesn't recognize sacd Thanks guys. I'm sending it in for the SE upgrade. I'm told that is the magic bullet for these issues. I really love the sound when it works. | |
wadia 581 My 581 skips and doesn't recognize sacd Thanks Rob. I just thought that maybe someone had a similar problem and it was a transport that had been dicontinued early on in the production teething phase. In my experience sacd transports just don't work. I can't believe I was dumb enough to ... | |
CD Player into amp? I think it all depends on whether the cdp was designed to drive the input section of an amp. DCS, Audio Aero, Wadia have up to 6 volts of output.(I've had all three). I can see where a typical cd player with an off the shelf out-put op-amp at two ... | |
Anyone using Coincident Total or Super Eclipse I have total eclipse (not new version) in Seattle.Drop me a line. | |
Matching Pre-Amp for Audio Aero Capitole MKII ? I have Pass Labs Aleph 1.2 amps and the Capitol run direct just doesn't give me the dynamics at low volumes that I have come to expect. The bass is a bit tubby when run direct also. I had a Pass Labs d-1 dac that worked well run direct into the Pa... | |
Audio Aero Capitole MKI vs. MKII Does Cello get paid every time he brings Meitner gear into an unrelated thread? |
