| ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews? Lewm -Doug Deacon's review did not say the Universe was "decidedly" better than the 4D. Instead, the essence of his post is that the 4D (also known as the Atmos) might be preferred by rockers, and the Universe preferred by classical music listener... | |
| How good is the Technics 1200 Mk2 with all the KAb upgrades? Hi Fluffers,I had the SL-1200MKII with the tonearm wiring, fluid damper, upgraded mat, and clamp upgrades. It was a nice turntable, not quite on par with a Sota Cosmos IV that I owned at the same time, but very similar sounding. I did not get the ... | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? milpai -It seems Oppo is playing this one close to the vest. I am eager to see the 205's specifications (and price). | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? jafant - I ripped all of my cd's onto a hard drive via my Mac Mini, and found that I liked the sound, and especially the convenience, of my file playback system well enough to sell the Sony. I still have SACD's and DVD-A discs which I have not fig... | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? Rwwear - With respect to the Oppo UDP-205, I am considering it, too. I actually bought the Pioneer for my living room, but I have been very impressed with it in my main audio system as a disc player. I am waiting to read owner impressions on the U... | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? The Pioneer does have two USB inputs, one in the front and one in the back, and one can access a server with the 88FD to play files from the server. I am not a Tidal subscriber, and I am not sure if one can get Tidal with the 88FD currently. I am ... | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? For those considering a universal player, the Pioneer Elite BDP-88F is a contender. I just got a refurbished one from Accessories for Less at 50% off msrp. They are sold out now, but the BDP-88F shows up for sale there from time to time. Initial i... | |
| What do I need for customs if purchased in Canada & ship to US? I had a bad experience using UPS to ship from Canada to the US. They billed me for customs, and imposed a brokerage service charge, for an item that should not have been subject to customs. It was for a Triplanar tonearm that I already owned. I se... | |

| Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression? Inna,Good luck with your journey! I really liked the LA-150MKII. Joule made an excellent preamp with built in phono, the LAP-150. Have you considered looking for one of these? Signature Sound is a good source for used Joule gear if you decide you ... | |
| Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression? Thank you Charles for the compliment. Inna, another thing to consider is that Jud Barber, the sole proprietor of Joule Electra, has retired. If you ever need service, you will have to look elsewhere. I see you are asking whether the preamp will ... | |
| Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression? I owned the VZN-80 Musicwood edition for 8 years. Wonderful sound, very present and immediate, with rich, full bodied tone. Had to sell it because of the heat. My music room was remodeled and I am now sharing it with the rest of my family. No way ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Oregonpapa,The SR Black outlet is neutral to my ears, nothing dark at all. I don't feel like anything is missing. I put the outlet in 3 days ago. The first time I listened, I was in my chair for a few hours before I realized how much time had pass... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Andy, I just installed a SR Black outlet for my power conditioner, which replaced an Oyaide R1 outlet. I found the Oyaide R1 to be bright sounding, not to my liking. In comparison, the SR Black outlet sounds more natural and organic, right from th... |
