| Electrocompaniet EMC-1: let's talk? I'm reporting here that the power supplies mod parts have arrived: 24 tiny diodes and three capacitors, for $65.Hope they install easily. I'll have it performed by a top pro to insure success. Finally! | |
| Dedicated power lines-getting started Huh? But it's rated to 300v! I wonder if the relatively tender Teflon outer jacket is the issue here? I cover it with a clear vinyl jacket for protection and a decent "hand" in my PCKits. It'd be a shame if one had to run it through conduit or ano... | |
| Electrocompaniet owners Tok, I reread your posts again, and feel a bit less defensive now, as I see that your intent is less personal than I felt the first time I perused them....You strongly feel that the EMC-1 is very overpriced. At $5500 I may agree, as the Euro list ... | |
| Electrocompaniet owners Tok2000, I'm having a VERY hard time with your perspective, and punishing invective.I received the mod parts in today's mail. 24 tiny diodes and 3 capacitors. They SOLD them to me for $65, just like ANY manufacturer would sell spare parts. I haven... | |
| Pass Labs Aleph Amps & B&W Nautilus Speakers I found my Aleph 2 monos to drive the N803 beautifully, but did NOT like the B&W in the nearfield. Be sure to audition these speakers IN YOUR ROOM, with a listening position at least 12 feet back. I had read this in a British review three year... | |
| A suitable power match for a pass labs X2 pre? I really like my pair of Aleph 2s, running balanced, of course, from an Aleph P. | |
| High value floorstanders around $1k used The Paradigms offer lots of cheap bass in lots of cheap Canadian MDF. The mids and highs suffer, of course, but they do what they do pretty well. I prefer a more resolved midrange at the expense of less bottom octave, so $1k is better spent on gre... | |
| other singers like Patricia Barber..... I caught her live at The Regattabar in Harvard Square last fall, and can agree that she's REALLY in another inner space altogether lately. Fortunately her bandmates have a glimpse, but stay well-rooted for the ride. Iher response to my attempt at ... | |
| Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers? American Dreamer ...oops! That's Jean Danton. | |
| Best cd player under $600 used for system I'll second that. Your concerns about ambience-tuning are better resolved by careful room treatment, inc simple furniture arrangement. But try to avoid the glass and ice tinkling.... | |
| What was your biggest priority? Cool, Red. I just did a REAL budget intro system for a friend: NAD C541i ($400), Spendor 3/1p ($800 used), Audio Refinement Complete ($800 used), same tuner ($500 used), a Neuance ($100) and a combo of my 83802-based PCKits ($100),PowerBox ($55), ... | |
| Electrocompaniet owners This experience and the mysterious thread shut-down have indeed cowered me into a position of being grateful for crumbs. Yet the upgrade costs only $82.50 (inc bank wire) for an $800 retail mod! But I'll report more fully AFTER I get the diodes an... | |
| Electrocompaniet owners EC emailed a couple of board photos yesterday with the list of 20 or so diodes and three caps that comprise the mod. Hope it arrives soon.... | |
| Power Cord for wadia 850 I propose that the Wadia is NOT the source of the edge, if its perceived. If anything its filter algorithm rolls the top octave off pretty strongly....The Nordost should be pretty open and clean. | |
| Dedicated Line I set up three dedicated lines (digital, analog, power amps) with Belden's magical 83802 two years ago, and then made PCs with the remainder. I never looked back, and am so impressed with the cost/benefit ratio I now provide Kits of this stuff for... |
