| What to buy....Auralic Aries, Sony Hap-ZES, or Auralic Altair? I have the Sony HAPZ1ES music player/server and am very happy with it. It has everything you are looking for and I have never, ever had any software glitches. This is one piece of equipment I will be keeping for a long time. | |
| Looking for an upgrate from Cronus Magnum I wouldn't bother with tube rolling the Cronus Magnum. I was in the same boat as you and I purchased over 300.00 worth of preamp and driver tubes. I was happy for a week, then was unhappy again. Although the Cronus Magnum has 100wpc, it doesn't... | |
| Which integrated amp would you pick? I couldn't remember the name of the store, but Mike and Dave were indeed a pleasure to deal with. I also paid 2,200.00 for it, not 2,100.00 for it as I first stated. I looked up the receipt to be sure. It was the drive back to RI that made me d... | |
| VPI MOTOR PULLEY ?? Perhaps VPI new policy of not selling parts direct is part of their streamlining of the business. | |
| VPI MOTOR PULLEY ?? When I needed a new cuing lever for my VPI Scout last year, I contacted Matt via Facebook and received the part within 2 days. | |
| Which integrated amp would you pick? I bought my Parasound Halo new in silver in January of this year from a dealer in Chicopee, Mass. He was a Home Theater dealer who ordered it for me and I paid 2100.00 for it. | |
| Which integrated amp would you pick? I know you directed this at georgelofi, but I had to chime in. No one is advertising Parasound, just stating facts and opinions. Just because you do not care for them does not mean they aren't any good.. Yes, there are a lot of integrateds, but... | |
| Speaker cable lengths doe it matter they are not equal??? I am running 2 different lengths of the same cable in my secondary system and I notice no difference from before I shortened one of the cables, to before they were shortened. I have a 23 foot cable and an 8 foot cable. No difference in sound. | |
| Which integrated amp would you pick? Like yourself, I use my second system the most. I am running a Parasound Halo Integrated, Golden Ear Triton 2 speakers, Sony HAPZ1ES Media Server, Cambridge Audio CXC CD Transport (for those round shiny silver things), a Magnum Dynalab MD90 Tuner... | |
| Goodbye paypal! I have done 93 transactions here since 2008 and all involved PayPal. I never, ever had a problem and they even alerted me to a scam by someone who was purchasing something from me. I even have my personal checking linked to my PayPal debit card ... | |
| Audible Illusions M3B or L3 You should have spoken with GC Audio in Texas. He probably had one in stock to sell. It is definitely well worth the wait but at this point, I would demand my money back. I posted a "want to buy" here and scored a 6 month old M3B in silver. I ... | |

| Interconnects between Rogue Audio Perseus Preamp. and Odyssey Khartago Amplifier Call Klaus at Odyssey and ask about a pair of Groneberg Quattro Reference IC's. Your amp is wired with it and you will get great synergy this way. I use them exclusively in both my systems. | |
| New Sony Firmware For HAPZ1ES Player As far as I know, no it can't download Hi-Rez files off the net. You must download to main computer and then transfer to the Sony via the wired or wireless Ethernet. | |
| Need to lay a portion of my high-end speakers cable under the floor ... My 22 foot long speaker cables are under the floor and my system sounds just wonderful. I have never had issues with any kind of noise. Why go through the trouble of running a conduit? Just lay em between the rafters and be done with it.. Jus... |
