| BAT Solid State Amps? I have previously owned a BAT VK-500w/BAT pak, it was a good amplifier for its time. It was a touch on the dark side and not the last word in resolution or transparency but then again it was not priced like it was. Yes there are better ss amps out... | |
| You've gotta check this guy out Thanks for the recommendation, its now on my list- I've never heard of this fellow before so I am looking forward to listening. | |
| dcc2/cdsd owners: how much acoustic dampening? You must be playing the unit to get a full break in, just leaving it on will get a little bit better(allows things to be powered up, just not doing there thing). CD players are easy to break in, just play them and have your amplifier(s) off, just ... | |
| ultimate best speakers ever- now under 15K This is a tough one, what speakers have you heard that you didn't like? What speakers have you heard that you thought were ok? What are you currently using(speakers and rest of system)? What size room? There are too many possibilities to form any ... | |
| new amp for system You may be able to find a pair of parasound JC-1's for the price, I normally don't like recommending components I own. In this case though I feel they are well worth the audition, in there price range they are hard to beat and there used price is ... | |
| There's a sucker born every minute They are studying at the school of marketing by Bose®. | |
| Comparing sound of Tenor 150 HPs vs. Lamm M1.2 Mike with all due respect to your comparison, it is hardly fair. A $17K retail digital front end vs. (conservatively) $67500 retail analog front end. For the same $17k in an analog front end do you think the differences would be as "laughable". I ... | |
| Meitner DCC2 vs. Analog - Opinions Please Every component comes for sale for one reason or another, doesn't matter how good it is. People's lives are complicated and there are MANY possibilities. I have seen the extreme high-end turntables for sale many many times in the past, what does t... | |

| EMM Lab CDSD transport motor resonating My modified phillips did that a lot, it was the servo's for something(don't recall exactly what) compensating on scratched discs- even if there are light scratches it would make the noise a little bit. Some discs were unlistenable it was so loud- ... | |
| Meitner DCC2 vs. Analog - Opinions Please My opinion may be some what bias since I have never owned a TT(though I have listened to them many times) and I do own the DCC2/CDSD. I of course have thought of this myself and went digital for a number of reasons, but that's me. You should conta... | |
| which solder do you recommend? Jennifer from Jena Labs highly endorsed the Cardas Quad Eutectic Solder. She told me that she has used pretty much every high end solder available and she prefers this for sonics and durability. She also went on to tell me she did upgrades to a $8... | |
| Transport for EMM Labs DCC2 I have a meitnerized philips SACD 1000 at this time and my CDSD should be in with in 2 weeks. If your interested let me know.IMO with out using the opti-link proprietary connection your selling yourself and your dac short. | |
| Are Maggies Cat Proof? I agree with Slappy's solution, though I would use AC power from your wall :) | |
| dcc2 owners: has anyone regretted the purchase? I listen to a lot of classical, folk, rock, techno, jazz, blues- I am all over the place. I did dig out some radiohead(which I haven't listened to in some time) and I NEVER remember it sounding so lush and involving. The soundscape like sound that... |
