| Wadia 170i and a Cary 306/200 CD player Not sure if this is what your asking, but You can use the coax output of the 170i to your Cary and use the Cary as DAC in your system. You will need a coax digital cable. | |
| cambridge audio 840c vs. modwright 9000es/999es Your making the right choice! Modwright over the 840. A cheap upgrade are the GE 7044 tubes. | |

| 02 x bat vk55 monoblocks an overkill for Harbeth? Neither would be overkill. I would go for the pr. of 55s. | |
| Eggleston Andra IIIs at CES Vx700, Great minds think alike ;-) I also think the new look is very nice. Enjoy your new speakers, and look forward to your impressions. | |
| Hooking up a REL Sub to a preamp that has 1 preout You will hook it up to same taps as the speakers are hooked up to. Yellow to positive on left channel, red to the positive on right channel. Black to ground on either channel. Mine is on left but dont think it matters. If you need any help email m... | |
| Hooking up a REL Sub to a preamp that has 1 preout I agree with Rhljazz, connect your REL to the amplifier if you want to get the best out of it. | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus Jim,One more question. What are the advantages (if any) to using the acrylic plinth on the DV500 and upcoming GT model over the Birch used on the Armadeus? | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus Not sure how i got straightened out??Jim, is the GT version of the Armadeus going to have the better looking finish, and use the same plinth as the DV500? Will price be the same? | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus They had both tables side by side. i have been dealing with Alan for several years. great Guy! great store! That was one of the nicest demos I've gone to. joe harley was there and Audio research. Plus live music. great time. | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus Chashas1, Thats what i said. the table is made for Dynavector by Well tempered, to fit the Dynavector arm. it also is alot better looking, it is built to a higher stantard as far as fit and finish. In any case. the table with the Dynavector arm wa... | |
| Sophia II's and Pass Labs etc I have heard a friends Sophia 2 with Mcintosh and Ayre. The Ayre system he uses now is very good. K-1XE preamp and V-1XE amp. I would look into the even higher end Ayre products also. | |
| Are Harbeth S HL5's As Good As Reviewers Claim? I've owned a pr of the HL-5s now for about four months. They have replaced Thiel CS7.2s. At first the difference was hard to get used to. But i dont think i could go back to the Thiels, or most other speakers. I dont find them to warm either. very... |
