| Isolation transformers on CDP to reduce glare? yes, absolutely- lower noise floor, less 'glare'- Ensemble Isolink- I use two- one on transport, one on dac- would not be without them now... | |
| Coincident Speakers - differences between models agreed with above- the TV's are keepers. The amps I will be using to drive mine will be a pair of ASL 1009 845 monoblocks with custom mods by Israel at Coincident- should be fun- Izzz indicates these amps are absolutely superb... | |
| Speakers you regret selling regret the recent sale of my 5 Totem Mani-2's and a Theta Dreadnaught amp- made an awesome home theater setup- just needed the $$... | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize I have 2 Ella Fitzgerald discs that are completely identical (both from Decca, made the same year- everything the same). One has been Lathe-trimmed, one has not. Once i get my system back up (about another week), I am going to take the Pepsi chall... | |
| Coincident Speakers - differences between models depends on the size of your room and budget. I have owned the Super E's; Victory; and now Total Victory. If you have a smaller room, get the Victory's and the MP 300B monos yo mentioned in your associated thread. | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize Sean- re: the CD Lathe, as I indicated earlier, I had a local dealer trim one ~ a year ago, and have bad tracking errors since on that disc. I was there a few months ago and again had him do another one, this time, an EXACT copy of the same Ella F... | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize Buscis- I tried the CD Lathe from a local dealer (he treated one disc as a test), and I believe I could detect an improvement, HOWEVER, here's the problem:that disc now has BIG problems being tracked properly (especially track #1) on my transport,... | |
| Best Thread on Audiogon? tough to pick just one- but I have recently enjoyed 'Personal Amp Evolution' | |
| Resolution Audio Opus vs. Audio Aero Capitole MKII wow Welfed- a spitually derived Audiogon name- very cool!Mejames- the transport ws improved in MK II (I believe they use an aluminum board as opposed to wood in the first one- someone told me that once). But yes, my current transport/dac combo bea... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus vs. Audio Aero Capitole MKII Wellfed- yah, it's a great time of year- especially for me as a Canadian, to still have a couple of our teams in the NHL playoff race. By the way, I love your audiogon name, but have always wondered about it. Is it just that you eat very well- i.e... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus vs. Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet another Capitole thread- yawn... I have owned it (MK I) and auditioned MK II in my system. While the sonic signature is easy to listen to (bass on MK II WAY superior to Mk I), I feel the transport section in both players is weak point- I know,... | |
| Audio Note, Vecteur, Audiomeca transports..HELP disagree with above post. I owned the AN CDT2, and found it to be quite underwhelming in my system- the Spectral SDR 3000SL I replaced it with ate the CDT2 for lunch. I use an Audio Note Dac (newer 3.1 Balanced model), and it is fantastic, but the... | |
| Lee Morgan yes- absolutely- 'The Sidewinder' is the classic from Morgan. Also great are 'Search For the New Land', and 'The Rumproller'. | |
| Review: Coincident Speaker Tech Total Victory Speaker Kalan- I have heard the H's at Israel' place- they are extremely good, and harmonically complete, however I am sure your other amp choices mentioned area also good ones... | |
| This Sistrum stuff works Sistrum is great- am using the amp and speaker stands, but waiting for a year or two on the rack, as I hear they may take it to the next level with a version that actuallly plugs in to the wall! Apparently, it will be significantly better then eve... |
