| Hupp phono stage? Len Hupp pasted away! He was a young man. I used to talk with him often.Was it not the Markoff head amp? | |
| Need more info on the Electron Kinetics Eagle-7A I had several of John Iverson's amps including the Electro Research and the Eagle 7s. This was a long time ago, however, and regardless of how good I found them then, they are probably surpassed today. For example I use a Citation 7.1 four channel... | |
| H-CAT Model 12-P Preamp, Fact or Fiction?? Sorry, but these are sold only factory direct in the U.S. | |
| Omega Mikro powercord users help: I agree with Jm88. If you don't hear a big difference, which occasionally happens in my experience, don't worry about it. Probably you should keep the red. I actually keep an old Siltech around. If it sounds better than the OM red which I try firs... | |
| AT&T ST glass vs. AES/EBU connection I used to have dacs that accepted glass and EBU. I strongly preferred the glass. Jim Aud recommends 10 m. as the minimum length? Now that I have the Meitner I am back to glass. It, of course, breaks the ground. | |
| FIM Gold: Flexible Alternatives. I had FIM throughout my system at one time and used Aurios under all components. On my Avantgarde Trios it took me nearly six hours to install the speaker cables. Never again! FIM will soon have a new set of cables designed by John Tucker. I have ... | |
| Cable elevators In my experience the Rite-Way Audio Suspenders clearly outperform all others, including other ceramics. Also use one and only one on all cables. This difference cannot be accomplished with any other change in your system. | |
| Silver to Preamp & Copper to Amp? I cannot imagine ever using anything but silver. It is the front end that make silver bright, not the cabling. Why obscure your sound. | |
| Valhalla vs. HMS vs Jena Labs vs. Shunyata Phoeni Go to RScable.com and buy the $99/1 m. | |
| What would be the best transport for Meitner Dac 6 And a great relief for me. Mine is still working properly with it more recent MACE chip. | |
| What would be the best transport for Meitner Dac 6 I want to say that my repaired EMM modified Phillips sacd 1000 has been performing flawlessly for the last week. | |
| Cable Suggestions Other than Nordost, I have never know a cable to cause "too much high end." Try the $99 for 1 m. RS Audio Cables. They offer a 30 trial. I think they are truly exceptional and better than most $2k and above cables. I have two pairs thus far. | |
| Best SACD/CD player I can get for $5k new or used I have just posted under the Denon2900 thread. I got a Denon 2900 with a tube parafeed analog stage. They retail for $2995 and beat nearly everything I have heard. The Meitner is the exception, at least at this point in my comparisons. The Denon i... | |
| What would be the best transport for Meitner Dac 6 You have no choice at this time. Only the Phillips sacd 1000 works. Fortunately the problem with it seems to have been solved. | |
| opinions on modern horn speakers I doubt if modern horns are better than the best old systems. Remember that horns existed then because there were no powerful amps. I have had the VOTs, the Exemplars, the Avantgarde Duos and Trios, and Beauhorn Virtuosos. I must prefer the Beauho... |
