| MBL 101e mk 2 Speaker Owners? I really don't have any more money to throw into the system, so changing the amp to MBL amps won't happen. I am getting the speakers for free, so if they don't sound good with my system, they will go back to the owners son. | |
| primaluna gear, avalon eidolon speakers, cardas Why don't you hook it up and tell us how it sounds? | |
| Taking Suggestions for New Speaker Cables What don't you like about the system/cables that gives you the desire to upgrade? Those MIT cables were around 400-500 for the interconnects. Those are fairly expensive already by my standards. | |
| tech advise needed I would give it a try. Not much to lose at this point. | |
| Another DAC bits and Hz question " Otherwise, use a NOS older DAC based on the Philips or BB chips, ie; PCM1704."Steve, My Esoteric SACD player (UX-3) has the 1704 dac chips. Am I sacrificing anything by not going with a cd player that uses the newer AK dac chips? I really like w... | |
| I have a Onkyo TX NR905 Why not get a 2 meter pair of the VPI phono cables and be done with it? It's the same wire as used in the tonearm and it sounds great as well. | |
| Emotiva xpa1 gen 2 with clsiizs I would stick with the Jolida tube amps. I had some Emotiva products and although very good, they are hardly in the league of your tube amps. | |

| Static electricity....again You can either buy a humidifier (not vaporizer) that will do a large size room, put slippers on over your socks, or....what worked for me is I bought a small 4 inch by 6 inch anti-static mat which is grounded to the receptacle wall plate screw. I ... | |
| Removing Morch DP-6 tonearm wires from cartridge I wonder if a dab of Vaseline would make the rubber more pliable without altering anything? | |
| Does CDP Analog and digital work at the same time? My Esoteric player allows me to turn on or off the digital out, the same with my Sony scd777es sacd player. | |
| CD player I believe Stereophile reviewed the X Ray many years ago. I would look back over the review. Personally, I wouldn't buy a cd player/transport that is that old as eventually it will stop functioning and there probably won't be any parts available to... | |
| woofer excursion at start of lp Buy a KAB rumble filter for 179.00 and the problems will stop. It is stuffed with all the audiophile approved parts as well. I have used one for years with my VPI Scout and various moving coil cartridges. I changed cartridges, had the turntable pr... | |
| How far from the back wall are your speakers? My speakers (Odyssey Kismet Reference floorstanding speakers) are 21 inches from the back wall, although they were designed to be used in that way. | |
