| Is there a good 5 disc CD player out there ??? bear in mind that the transport has an ENORMOUS influence on the sound, and you will not get the full potential out of a good DAC. I have to disagree with this. Charles Altmann insists that his DAC with JISCO circuitry can be used with any cheap ... | |
| Question for Merlin VSM/ARS Sonum owners I had a Thor TA-1000 mkII pre and Art Audio Jota monos before I got the Fila. The Fila was an improvement across the board. I also just got the upgraded BAM and RC's, and my system sounds like the best of tubes and s/s. Refined and transparent lik... | |
| Merlin owners, AC or battery for BAM? I don't know the answer. Is it yes or no? | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM At around 200 hours now, and just wanted to chime in with my latest impressions. System is singing!!! There's always been a feminine quality to the refinement of each incarnation of the VSM that I've heard. Now, on top of that, they're ballsy! Per... | |

| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM "My experience says to "hang onto your hat" as your sound will continue to evolve and improve over the next 100 hours."Thanks for the warning! | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM I finally received my upgraded Master BAM and RC's and, as promised, my impressions follow.But first, I want to put in a plug for the hideous, but remarkable Altmann DAC. My system has undergone about three major upgrades since I first got the bat... | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM I'm anxiously awaiting my M-BAM and RC upgrade. Should be arriving this week. Will report my impressions. | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? Follow up:I just wanted to update my situation. After consulting with some trusted experts, I decided to try replacing the stock power cord that came with the Equitech. It was suggested that the small copper conductors in the beldon pc were resona... | |
| Quality of Power Question Follow up: I replaced the stock power cord that comes with the Equitech with a solid core power cable from JPS Labs (the Power AC+). This took care of the problem, and some. Right out of the box, very musical, non-fatiguing, more detail, more auth... | |
| Quality of Power Question Hevac, The Equitech is plugged into a dedicated 20 amp circuit. I live in a residential area of a mid-sized city. The airport is less than three miles away and there are industrial areas about the same distance,Dgordonl, There's a meter on the fro... | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? Al,Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people who is extremely limited in technical knowledge, so I honestly don't understand much of what you wrote.You wrote: "The effectiveness of a balanced power arrangement, such as the Equite... | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? Tbg,I totally agree that so much is dependent on synergy and integration of components. For example, I've had speakers in my room that have been absolutely raved about, but sounded REALLY BAD in my room with my electronics, no matter how I set the... | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? Prior to today, my last experience with a power conditioner was about twenty years ago. Its dramatically bad impact on the sound of my system turned me off to the very idea for all this time.I installed dedicated lines to my room with high quality... | |
| Audience au 24 cables. E version I upgraded my AU24 speaker cable to the "e" version and my immediate impression after getting them back was that the upgrade was definitely worth it. More relaxed, yet more dynamic. More detail, yet more musical. Basically, across-the-board improv... |
