| NRG Control Power Amps I owned NRG's A201s amplifier from 1991' through 1999'. That was one great sounding amplifier. A friend of mine still has their PA1 preamp and is in love with it. Bigboss, do you have NRG gear now or are you looking to get some? | |
| Tweeter recommendation close to MDT33 I have owned the MDT33 and the Dynaudio Esotar and they are virtually constructed the same. Their technical info. sheets reveal them alost indistinguishable. Physically the Dynaudioa are much larger due to the mounting baffle which they claim acts... | |
| Between Ayre V1 & Jeff Rowland model 10 I auditioned a well broken in Ayre V1 for about 1 week at home and it is a wonderful amplifier. It has a purity and sweetness in the midband that is really addictive. However, if a rythymic, live sound on all types of music is what you are after t... | |
| Wadia modification Yes, Steve can be a tough one to reach once in a while. He is taking care of Wadia's service related issues as well as still managing to dish out the upgrade goods to us. I had been speaking with Steve for about 6-8 mo. before ever sending my play... | |
| PS Audio Multiwave-good or bad? I can only use the new multiwave card in the 60 hz. setting and run regular sinewaves. I vary the voltage output from 114 to 116 as displayed on the PS Audio 300. The PS 300 only powers a modified Wadia 861. The card provided a vast improvement in... | |
| New B&W Nautilus 804 questions... HELP! I have N801's and do not personally care for the fact that the binding posts are shrouded in the clear (I think it's polycarbonate) in the first place. WBT does sell the posts that we have minus the plastic on the outside. The plastic can be compl... | |
| Great Northern Sound Co. Mods for Wadia My Wadia 861 was modified from Steve Huntley a few weeks ago. A few weeks before that Wadia (those poor souls) upgraded it to an 861 from the 860. Steve and I had been discussing an upgrade to the player for many months prior as I was holding out ... | |
| Wadia? Should You Go Direct In Or Preout Tbone, I ran an 860 for 1.5 years and recently upgraded to the 861. The 860 is not even in the same league as the new 861. The x upgrade does very little by itself to improve the sound of the 860 and it's included on the 861. With the 861 you can ... | |
| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc Shayner, I just love to read posts from individuals like yourself. It's really comical how someone as yourself, a supposed audiophile, can make such a useless statement... "it would be too insignificant to have any effect". From this statement I c... | |
| NATURAL CHERRY VENEER I have red cherry N801's and they also darkened over time. To help you even out the color, I use Pledge polish which comes in a yellow trigger spray bottle. The product is a wax free pump spray(non-aerosol) and contains silicone polishing agents i... | |
| My Only Question Is......... I'm in the same boat you are. There are 2 active preamps that I will be auditioning that will, as I have been told, be much better than my Wadia 860 direct into an FPB600c. The 2 preamps are absolute hot rods from very small companies. Solid state... | |
| Classe or Krell I only have experience with the Krell FPB600c driving Nautilus 801's so I will offer that most people do not have a clue as to the signature of the Krell amplifier. I have noticed them to be very sensitive to vibration and requires either air susp... | |
| building a room from the ground up... If at all possible, you should attempt to prioritize (via high current, lowest resistance) the a/c power for your dedicated room by using a satellite a/c panel very close in proximity to your mains input in your house (unless that is where your no... | |
| PowerSnake Owners Unite! The only way another powercord is going to outperform a King Cobra if and when & Caelin Gabriel at Shunyata decides to make one. Case closed! | |
| Power cord upgrade Unfortunately, the right powercord makes a significant improvement to a component that it is connected to. If anyone posts that they have a hard time believing that a powercord can make a change they probably haven't tried a powersnake. Step 1, or... |
