| Any SACD quick reading players out there. Both my Tri-Vista and DV-47 detect the presence of an SACD disk faster than the SCD-33ES and SCD-1 players that I used to own. I've never used a stopwatch on them, but I'd estimate 3-5 seconds for either. I think the newer generations of transport... | |
| SACD player with digital input? The Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista is the only one box SACD player I know of with a digital input. However, you wouldn't need the other player, as the Tri-Vista is an awesome tube based redbook player in it's own right. | |
| DVD-A/SACD two box solution what do you think? You should also consider a Dan Wright Pioneer DV-47 with the Universal Truth modifications. It's an amazing performer, and it will play all current formats. You should be out less than $1500, even after buying a new player at a discount and paying... | |
| P.Gabriel in Hi-fi +...a real treat. Thanks for the tip Ben, I'll have to pick up an issue. The Peter Gabriel SACDs are a real sonic treat! | |
| Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista Owners Questions??? My Tri-Vista SACD sounded great right out of the box. I think the sound may have improved slightly after the first 100 hours or so. The extremely long break-in and warm-up periods described in the Stereophile review are quite inaccurate in my expe... | |
| Linn Unidisk From what I understand, there is no rush for a more budget-friendly Unidisk. When they do release one, it will unfortunately be for the HT crowd, with reduced audio capacities :( I also understand that future high end Linn products will be aimed a... | |
| Attention audio/video guru's ? re. dvd-audio Here's another example of how the DVD standard is in such disarray. The hardware and software people can't get together and figure out a standard system for disk navigation! DVD will live on for video, but it is a failure so far for high resolutio... | |
| DVD audio recording? The problem is that the Alesis 24/96 disks record only about 20 minutes on a CD-R and are not compatible with any other players. I'm looking for DVD 24/96 recording information, if anyone has any. | |
| SACD/Redbook one-box solution? You can't go wrong with the TriVista. Absolutely outstanding! | |
| PS Audio Ultimate Outlet with JR Concentra Amp I used one and didn't think that it had any effect at all, positive or negative. | |
| Preamp or CD Player for Best Sonic Improvement I'm basically a "source first" proponent, and I'd get the Ikemi. It is clearly superior to the Genki. | |
| What is the best sounding SACD on the market? The best I've heard is the Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista. It's remarkable on redbook as well, and it betters the Sony players I've owned (SCD-1 and XA-777ES) by a significant margin. | |
| New Fleetwood Mac album, any opinions? I agree, it is awful. The quality of the music and recording is at best mediocre, and the preachy lyrics of many of the songs pulls the effort further down. I certainly nope this is the last of them! | |
| Best Speakers for Musical Fidelity TriVista? Given the priorities that you have stated, I think you should consider the Wilson Benesch ARCs. They're the finest monitors I've ever heard or owned. The constuction is beautiful, and they will play louder and deeper than one would typically expec... | |
| Weird ring/thump noise when I hit my speaker cable Why do you flick your speaker cables? |
