| An upfront and intimate player Hi Dennis,You might want to try a Wadia 860x or 861. I don't know exactly what you are looking to spend, but the Wadias are great players, well built, and will offer the kind of presentation you're looking for. I had a BAT VK D5 and found it to ha... | |
| Question for Wadia 861 owners I have an 861 and I'd be more than happy to fax you a sheet from Wadia that explains exactly how to select the various algorithms. It's really pretty simple and you will notice quite a difference between the selections. Just email back your fax# a... | |
| Power Cable for Wadia 860X Uli,I heard that the King Cobra V2 is the best there is for a Wadia 861. You're probably right in saying that a unit as good as the 861 deserves as good a power cord as one can afford. I've just never could swallow spending as much on a pc, but I'... | |
| Power Cable for Wadia 860X John,I haven't tried the Mini Lab cable myself, but for $250-400 you should be able to get a Audio Lab. If you contact Steve, he's really the one that might be better able to help you.Skip | |
| Power Cable for Wadia 860X The most knowledgeable person when it comes to Wadia players is Steve Huntley from Great Northern Sound. While there is always a "better", more expensive cable available, he recommended a PS Audio Lab Cable as one that does everything fairly well,... | |
| Anyone else like to Listen in the Dark? I really enjoy listening in the dark. Nothing gives me greater audio pleasure than firing up the Tenors late at night. That 20 tube glow is something to behold. I recently added Synergistic Research Designer Reference X-Series ICs to the mix so no... | |
| Manners, Eticks & Audiogon --- What do you think??? Polite people will always respond in a timely manner. Sure, I've bought and sold many items over the past few years and most all have been a real pleasure. When I list something for sale, once an email is received, I try my best to respond as quic... | |
| Buying and Selling of feedback SOS, it's certainly a professional stance that you take. Your attitute and courtesy should serve you well. You deserve to be successful. | |
| state songs -- our suggestions? South Carolina's motto is "We don't give a damn how you did it up north" or We're dumb and proud of it". There's got to be a song in there somewhere!!! | |
| Best Looking components / your vote please I recently sold a Rowland 8TiHC and without a doubt, it was absolutely the most stunningly beautiful piece of equipment I've ever owned. That platinum faceplate sparkled like a diamond and even resulted in a non-audiophile friend saying she would ... | |
| Change needed at Audiogon I say let anyone play that wants to. When I first started buying here, I had no feedback, no verification, no nothin'. I joined when I saw that there was a lot offered here on Audiogon, not just tons of equipment, but great people with a common in... | |
| Ever wonder why things are screwed up? Nrchy had it right, but with the wrong emphasis. It should have been it's quite amazing how many different things over time have been determined by horses asses? Great story Albert!!! | |
| Is Audiogon worth it? Sure it's a pain in the ass, but that's half the fun. Just take a look any day, every day and you'll see a minimum of 200+ new listings for various pieces of equipment from under $100 to tens of thousands of dollars. Go ahead and give it a shot, t... | |
| Snell Type A- any info?????? I owned two different pairs of AIIIs. I bought the first pair in the early 80s and the AIIIi version in the later 80s. They're great speakers! As you mentioned, there are two separate sections, the upper pieces contain the mids and tweeters, with ... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I'm pretty lucky because I'm the used vehicle general manager for a large Ford Lincoln Mercury dealership in coastal South Carolina. My dealer is kind enough to let me drive anything I want to that's in our preowned inventory so that gives me an e... |
