| McIntosh C1000 tube pre vs. ARC Ref 3? Well as other people said it makes no sense to discuss about the differences if you did not hear them next to each other. I had the Ref3 in my system and also had the Mac C2200. In my systen the C2200 sounded much better than the Ref3. So I guess ... | |
| Has Anyone heard The Wadia 581i se CD player? Hi I actually own the Wadia 581Se and it is a wonderful player. The bass is very controlled and the stereo image is very wide. I had all the Wadia players since the 850 and must say that this one is two steps above all the other ones. The new Wadi... | |
| B&W 802D vs. 800D I had both speakers next to each other in my house. Both are very good but the 800D is a clear winner. It has more authority, sounds better timewise (better filter) and the bass goes deeper. However it sounds a little thinner in the bass than the ... | |
| Audio Research Reference CD-7 I just received my Audio Research CD7. Out of the box it sounded already fantastic but now after 2 days of playing the sound even improved more. So holographic, musical and fun to listen. The details are also very good on this player.I compared si... | |
| Musical Fidelity kw DM 25 Transport and DAC I avtually owned the MF KW DM25 Transport and DAC. It sells around 6000 euro in Europe. It played fine on low volumes but when playing louder it was realy nervous sounding. I think this is one of the lousiest CD players in this price range. They p... | |
| AMR CD-77 Hi Optarchie,I live in Holland. The bass from the ARC CD7 is awesome. It is even better than my Krell CD player and also better than the Wadia 581 which is known for ts good bass. It goes deep and hes control and speed. I have the reference 3 as w... | |
| AMR CD-77 Well reviews say absolutely nothing about the performace of a piece of equipment. I now beleive that all reviews are sold. The more a brand advertises and the more it pays the reviewer the better the review. I know some reviewers got very expensiv... | |
| Mark Levinson preamp no. 38 vs 38s vs 380 vs 380s Hi Tod,If you have FPB200C you should buy the Krell KCT preamp and use Cast cables. It will sound better than all the Mark Levinson preamps you mentioned. I had the 380S and the KCT blows it away in every aspect.Peter | |
| WADIA 861 VS AUDIO RESEARCH CD7 Hi Ryan,I tried the Arc Ref3 driving the power amp and the Wadia 581 driving the power amp directly and could not hear much difference. The difference is so small that it did not justify the 12000 euro for an ARC Ref 3.The Cast system however brin... | |
| WADIA 861 VS AUDIO RESEARCH CD7 Hi I used a preamp. Sind I use the Krell Cast system (KCT, FPB700CX) the Krell poweramp sounds better with a preamp. Although the Wadia is close since it is very good.Peter | |
| WADIA 861 VS AUDIO RESEARCH CD7 Hi Lawrence,I have the new Wadia 581 and the ARC CD7 now in my system. The Wadia has more high frequency and sound brighter. The CD7 has a more organic sound and sunds more fluent. The bass is excellent on both but because the CD7 sounds darker th... | |
| audio reseach ref 3 or krell KTC...? Hi Salvo,I actually have both preamps. The KCT is difficult to beat in an all Krell system using Cast. If you use a different poweramp than Krell the KCT is still good but not as good as with Cast.The KCT has rythem and speed and sounds open and c... | |
| When will Wadia 581 be available Well I finally received my 581 last week. It has been playing continuously since then. I must say that it was well worth the waiting. It is a fantastic player. The player is much better than the 861B I had before. More musical, better bass and dyn... | |
| Krell FPB 600c 700cx 400cx Heatsink noises. Hi I did do nothing to my FPB700CX. It just works fine. The LS-25 or 26 will also work without problems. The Krell will for sure not go broken.Well I know there is a lot of anti Krell crowd but their power amps are world class. I had Classe, Levin... | |
| Krell FPB 600c 700cx 400cx Heatsink noises. I use an Audio Research Ref 3 tube preamp together with a Krell FPB700CX. No problems at all. The new tube preamps all have a DC offset which is only microvolts. The Krell amps are DC coupled and if your tube amp has a DC offset if will pass throu... |
