Suggestions please: Upgrade from Krell KMA 160s
Nrchy,If I end up with the Wolcotts, and if they sound as good as the reviewer in Enjoythemusic.com says, I will owe you a good bottle of wine, as I never would have considered them.Thank you!! I have to find a dealer though and it seems the close... 
Suggestions please: Upgrade from Krell KMA 160s
Brian,I'm glad to hear that. My source is A'gon Forum and Google search. I have absolutely no hard data, no friends/Audiophiles who own them and am relieved to stand corrected. Look at the Discussion forum under "Why so many Parasounds for Sale" a... 
Review: Ridge Street Audio Poiema I/C's and S/C's Interconnect
Mnh,Did you by any chance compare Purist Audio - Dominus/Venustas or XLO Limited edition with the Poiema? 
Esoteric DV-50: Tweaks, Up-sample settings, etc.
I guess it didn't make it!!I submitted it - maybe the editors didn't approve of it! I was complaining about the fact that my brand-new DV-50 had a defective remote - but TEAC made good and came through - with a little push from the Cable Company -... 
Best CD Player for Classical Music?
Did you compare the Marantz to any other SACD players? 
Esoteric DV-50: Tweaks, Up-sample settings, etc.
I cant reach the back of my unit either, without moving about 100 lbs of equipment - took 2 days to install! The manual says nothing about a switch.See my new thread on TEAC's response to the defective remote! 
Kinergetics KCD 40
Yes. Absoutely,leave it on 24/7. A very good CD player. A common problem - the CD drawer - needs a minor service. Any good repairman can do it. By the way, many years ago, it was a highly recommended player. Enjoy it! 
Please recommend SACD player under $6K - "warm"
The Cable Company will also send you one to audition for 2 weekends(fatwyre.com)- but I think you have to go by their Lending library rules - 5% charge - credit at the store. 
Esoteric DV-50: Tweaks, Up-sample settings, etc.
I agree with Jeff s12a - and I've only had mine for 4 days! My remote doesnt work - is a light supposed to come on in the remote? I'm hoping its the remote and not the unit's "eye" that is defective. Hate to ship that monster back! Because the rem... 
Purist Audio & Stereophile
I guess that answers my question. Thanks, Ms Auld-Stahl. 
Interconnect question for Naimies
Thanks for your responses. Where do I get a DIN-XLR adaptor? Direct from Cardas, Audience, Kimber or Chord? 
Please recommend SACD player under $6K - "warm"
I've been in cricket, rugby, various photo and other forums and I must say I've never seen a group like this - helpful, informed, passionate - I'm new to the group but am overwhelmed by the quality of input!! Thank you, all. I have decided to audi... 
Review: Cable shootout Nordost, Purist, Synergistic, MIT Speaker cable
Great review, very similar to the conclusions I drew about Purist cables 13 years ago and bought the Purist Maximus. Now I need longer cables, have upgraded my front end and have just auditioned a group of cables without a Purist - mistake! I shou... 
Tuner/MD 108 Question
Thanks for all your responses. I'm sure I will end up with a roof-top Yagi. MD delivered a new 108 today and picked up the defective one, 1 week after calling them - the new one works fine!Not bad service............ 
Tuner/MD 108 Question
I called them - the MD 108 is on its way back to them. Probably a defective capacitor. The service guy said only the second time he's seen this. They're sending me a new one. Is the S2 roof top made by Magnum?Thanks for your input.Denis
