| Arcam, Cambridge Audio or Sony: Most musical?? TO ZD542, Why those three because Sony and Cambridge Audio are on sale on AG. The Arcam is another issue; I believe it is $2200; I have never seen one used on AG, at least not recently. Some members claim the previous FMJ CD-33 player is the most ... | |
| Speaker Cables Upgrade - Which Ones? To GREH OR OTHERS, Can you tell me what makes the Clearday speaker cables so special??. I tried the single shotgun(OR regular) SPEAKER CABLE iT IS JUST OK. I have also read that the Double Shotgun is MUCH better in the various AG threads. Is that ... | |
| Want to replace RED Dragon amps with stereo amp Tonyjack, Thank you for the suggestion. I just find these connectors very difficult to work with. Hard to believe that the plastic plate and knunkled knob can hold down a banana jacks and keep it in place. I think I am looking to either upgrade th... | |
| AntiCables IS THE NEW LEVEL 3 CABLE MORE ATTRACTIVE IN TERMS OF FLEXIBILITY??. THE OLDER CABLE WAS CONTORTED LIKE A COAT HANGER. IT ALSO DOES NOT DO WELL ON CABLE RISERS. I THINK SPEAKER CABLE SHOULD BE SOMEWHAT FLEXIBLE, AND NOT RIGID. PLEASE LET ME KNOW, I... | |
| Jolida components: Seems to be many for sale ? Again, thanks to all who have responded. Sounds like a very good product. Tbromard, I read somewhere on the AG forum that the Sovietec tubes were the best for the product; others have recommended a tube labeled ECC-ER( I could be wrong about the p... | |
| Want to replace RED Dragon amps with stereo amp To Markanetz. Without getting totally off of this thread, I noticed you mentioned the Bay Area. Interesting, I may be moving into the Bay Area next year from Hawaii. I know sounds crazy. Nevertheless, I lived in SF in 1970's when going to UC Berke... | |
| Want to replace RED Dragon amps with stereo amp To Marakanetz, If I decide to sell the Red Dragons M-500, I will contact you off line; you will probalby see the add first. No REF-500 on AG today; I checked with BC, about any extra stock, or dented stuff, just as long as it works and is 50% or b... | |
| Major upgrade from Rega Apollo: Which one? To Courant Thank you for the tip about the Meridian transport. Would you have possibly gotten as good if not better results with the Hegel HD-11?? Nevertheless, I assume you were referring to the Musical Fidelity VDAC II which is relatively inexpe... | |
| Want to replace RED Dragon amps with stereo amp To Marakanetz: Red Dragons are very nice amps. However, they have the dumbest speaker connections I have ever seen. Instead of standard 4 or 5 way binding post connections. They use this short tit or nub that you place the spade lug over. To secur... | |
| Major upgrade from Rega Apollo: Which one? To Mountainsong, Unfortunately the Hegel DAC is too expensive, and I can't be certain of how much improvement it will offer in my system To Celtic66, To day, I have heard from members and one or two online dealer that the MM "My DAC" will make lit... | |
| Major upgrade from Rega Apollo: Which one? Thank you to all that responded; I was actually informed by several AG members that an outboarded DAC would make little difference to the sound of the Rega Apollo. But that was not the only negative. When outboarded DACs began to be offered by man... | |
| Sony Xa5400 ES vs Cary CD 500 demo To Brownfan: Thank you for the info. I don't want to co-opt this members thread. So let me quickly ask, how much were the Modwright upgrades, and how much did they improve the sound. A member is selling a brand new sony 5400ES,but at a premium( no... | |

| Rogue Owners Unite Rosecoeii, Thank you for the comments and advice. I happened to fire off an e-mail to Rogue after reading your message yesterday, and ask them about the Cronos Magnum integrated which is $2295 retail. This is a thousand dollars more than new Sphin... | |
| Sony Xa5400 ES vs Cary CD 500 demo To Bigshutterbug, looks like you like the Sony. Would you know how the Sony compares to Cambridge 840C??? Does Sony only make the XA5400ES in black, never saw a silver one yet on AG. |
