| CP-700 Classe Pre-Amp good luck. The Sim gear is good and supposedly built like a tank! | |
| Cowboy Junkies-Trinity Revisited...In deed according to Amazon it looks like the Junkies tried to re-create the original magic with some guest musicians and some extra mics. I wonder what the result will be? Will the intimacy be loss with the "bigger budget" recording?Has anyone had a chan... | |
| CP-700 Classe Pre-Amp Sally, it would be very helpful if you could describe the sound you are getting now, and the sound you want to achieve. SIM gear is very neutral and transparent. I find it a bit too clinical. I think RAZA described BAT gear well. It definitely doe... | |
| CP-700 Classe Pre-Amp Sally, I now have the MBL 5011 preamp. I think MBL makes some great sounding electronics. The classe CP-700 is my second favorite pre I have owned (with the MBL being my favorite). I find your comment about the post B&W acquisition interesting... | |
| CP-700 Classe Pre-Amp Sally, I used to own a Audio Research Ref 3 preamp as well and preferred the Classe. Keep in mind that most Audio Research preamps have a high-ish output impedance so you may want to make sure your amps input impedance is a good match. | |
| which external hard disc for music storage? Do not get a Buffalo. You need to get something that is more geared towards corporate use. I suggest an Infrant ReadyNas drive with the more robust Seagate pro drives. You will be more than happy you spent the extra money knowing your data is safe... | |
| CP-700 Classe Pre-Amp I used to own this great pre. By far, it has the slickest user interface and best build quality of any component I have ever owned. The extra user features are also quite good. I still miss these aspects of the CP-700. As for the sound, I would ch... | |
| Sonos DAC I agree with some of other posts. I personally think upgrading the power supply and possibly the output stage will give you more bang for your buck. I even want to go so far as to modify the male power input on the back to a more standard 15amp IE... | |
| B&W 803d vs. B&W 804s - Fast Input Having owned and listened to a lot of BW, I would say the main diff between the 803d and 804s is in the midbass and bass, with the 803d sounding fuller and more in control. I think the 803s is probablythe sweetspot of the 800 series in terms of be... | |
| Implications of Esoteric G-0Rb atomic clock I would love to hear for myself the effect jitter has on sound. | |
| Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please henryhk, you are correct. I do not convert to DSD as it did not sound good 176to my ears, though I do upsample. Even at a modest encoding setting of VBR 256 (mp3), it sounds remarkably similar to the cd playing through Esoteric P3/D5 combo. I gues... | |
| FUSES VALUES: 250 volts VS 500 volts The amperage value is most important. Choose one that matches your stock fuse. As long as the voltage value is higher than recommended you are fine. | |
| Rotel, ATI or Parasound for Vienna Acoustic Straus I dont about ATI but I used to own Rotel and Parasound Halo. I would wholeheartedly recommend Parasound. It is a great balance between solid state dynamics and a bit of tubey warmth. | |
| System Synergy Theory Great question. I do believe the component characteristics are additive to an extent. Sometimes a single component will dominate the others. I will admit that I think I know how I prefer to put together a system but will admit that I probably got ... | |
| Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please Good point cmk. I think my remote is the one for the P3. I am still not sure why it would not have an input select option though. One thing that bothers me is that when I do switch from cd to my digital music source, I have to turn off the P3 or e... |
