| Ayre CDX-7eMP or Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP I could be dead wrong, but I thought I heard something about both of them using the same Oppo transport. Again, not 100% sure. | |
| I just had my Audiogon account hacked . . . Almost the same thing happened to me on Sunday. Last week I got an email from Audiogon to say I had a message. Stupidly, I clicked the link in the email. On Sunday, I started getting messages for an EMM Labs $10,000.00 cd player. I was lucky that ... | |
| Which loudspeakers work best close to back wall? The Von Schweikart VR22, 33 and 35 are designed to be put right up against the wall. | |
| Audible Illusion 3A humming pop noise one channel I wouldn't use any cleaner on it. The volume control is made of all resistors. I had that same problem and it turned out the muting switch was dirty. I used a cleaner on the muting switch. It's easy to get to, right under the top cover.As for the ... | |
| Hegel or Wyred 4 sound ? While I have never heard the Hegal, I own a Wyred dac1 and absolutely love it. It is a more upfront sounding dac and I would say it puts you in the first few rows of a concert hall. Highly recommended | |
| Esoteric K-series I haven't heard the K series but I have had 3 different Esoteric players and all did program playback. | |
| Kimber with MIT ? Schubert:I am using Odyssey's Kismet reference floorstanding speaker which is also wired with the Groneberg. Perhaps that is why the speaker wire and interconnect made such a profound difference in my system. | |
| Kimber with MIT ? Since you have an Odyssey amp, I would call Klaus at Odyssey and ask about the Groneberg premium speaker cables. Your amp is wired with them and it would make a perfect extension to your speakers. I previously had Terminator2 speaker cables with m... | |
| Best Upgradeable DAC ? The Wyred4Sound dacs are upgradeable as they were designed that way. | |
| 6Moons.com vs. Stereo Times The only thing I like 6moons reviews for are to see detaailed pictures of the equipment that they review. Other than that, I find their reviews to be overly boring, never to the point and full of BS. | |
| Which setup is better? Esoteric X03. | |

| Vandersteen 2ce questions You need anywhere from 100wpc and up to drive these speakers to their full extent. I have a regular pair of 2ce's in my second system and they are being driven by a Classe 175wpc amp and a tube preamp. I also used a 100wpc amp on the 2ce's as well... | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please I would look at the Symphonic Line tube preamp. Extremely musical, seems made for Classical music with its wide and deep soundstage. It is the only preamp I have heard that accurately reproduces piano with none of the ringing or other nasties. | |
| Musical Fidelity VLink 192 to kw dm 25 dac I own a V Link II running into a Wyred dac1 and it is fantastic!! I bought this off a guy who replaced the V Link II with the Berkley USB converter and he said the sound was "very close" at almost 4 times less the price. |
