| I'm taking votes None that I've heard, although I'm considering an audition of the Lindemann D680 player. Linn has also made several improvements to the CD12 since its'introduction in 1999. | |
| neutrality vs. realism I believe that neutrality and realism are one in the same when it comes to the goals of audio components and the reproduction of music. However, many (maybe all) companies that use such adjectives to describe their equipment do so only for marketi... | |
| Sony xa 777es + Audio Aero Prima Dac Ben, I think you and I have similar ideas. I'm using the XA-777ES for SACDs (excellent) and as a transport for redbook CDs. However, I'm using the Chord DAC64 for redbook replay. You ought to consider the Chord, it's outstanding. | |

| BAT's 6H30 "Super Tube" No, it's not interchangeable with the 6922. I've used this tube in an ARC LS-25 Mk. II and heard it in the ARC Ref2 Mk.II. It's a great tube, but it has to be used in equipment specifically designed for it. | |
| Linn's Ninka speaker: Anyone heard it?? I've heard the Ninka, and I think that it's a very nice speaker. It is without the wooly bass and is much more transparent than the model it replaced. I can't think of any other similarly priced speakers that I would prefer, but a used pair of 514... | |
| Upgrading a Sony DVP-S9000ES Let me preface my comments with the fact that I have not heard the Marantz SA-14. I have owned a Modwright SCD-333ES and found it to be a tremendous improvement over a stock unit. I have little doubt that Dan Wright's work on the DVP-9000ES would ... | |
