| 2 Channel pre-amp...where to start... Unless your Theta Casanova does not have an analog by-pass mode, whatever you decide on, you should audition first in your home. Because the Theta may be sufficiently good in comparison to what pre you buy.Of course, it depends on your budget. McC... | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? Good question, Tweekerman. If Telarc's Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture real cannons instead sound like shots fired from a .22 pistol, how much have you missed?How about Telect's Copland Fanfare for the Common Man cd track 2 where the kettle drums(?) are... | |
| Bi-Wire Speaker Cables for Vandersteen 3A sig. I've been very impressed with Harmonic Technology's Pro-9 bi-wire speaker cables. Used from around $400 to $700 depending on length. | |
| Decent CD Players Have you considered a very well built (30 lbs.) Sony DVP s9000es DVD/SACD/CD 2-channel unit for $899 new and then consider having it mod'ed by Stan Warren of SuperMods (co-founder of PS Audio) for $250.If you turn off the display, the video, and t... | |
| Capability to Search for Local Used Equipment The telephone area code should do nicely for indexing by local region. | |

| Mapleshade CD Favorites Do you think anybody would be interested in purchasing my absolutely mint collection of 10 or 12 Mapleshade recordings? | |
| Aragon 8008BB vs Mccormack DNA225 I have a McCormack DNA-2 LAE, so I'd have to say the DNA225. | |
| system matching You might consider an Odyssey Tempest preamp at $995 from odysseyaudio.com. I've not heard it but it's supposed to be well worth the $. Then you could pick up a Sony DVP s9000es new for about $900. The s9000es plays dvd, sacd, and cd formats but i... | |
| Mapleshade CD Favorites rrick, I purchased about 12 mapleshade cd's all at once about 9 months ago. They seem to be very well recorded but I just can't digest that type of music.I should put them up for sale.-John | |
| ARC DAC II and Sony SCD-1: Up or Downgrade? I don't know anything about external DAC's. But the SCD-1 is an excellent unit. Why not buy the SCD-1 and then see for yourself if you need a DAC?I'm guessing you won't want a seperate dac. | |
