| what do you have your wadia 861 siiting on? I can confirm that placement is critical for the Wadia 861.I now have 270/27ix but had the 861 before.A cheap but very effective improvement is a set of Polycrystal Reference cones, one in the middle of the front and two at the back of the unit, a... | |
| Threshold input impedance ???? Some years ago I had a Threshold SA-4e. The input impedance is 50 K Ohms unbalanced and 600 Ohm balanced.I had an excellent Magnan Signature XLR cable which by design has a very high impedance of 30 K Ohms. My local Threshold service simply remove... | |
| Remember Electraglide? I have Electraglide Genghis Khan's and Ultra Khan and Elrod Statement II. For the M Khan I have some second hand news.First let me say that Ultra Khan, M Khan and Elrod Statement all are superior to all the older designs from Electraglide and Elro... | |
| best amp for BASS Try the Crown K-2, maybe two K2's in bridged mode. Although it's cheap I expect that it will outperform a Krell 600 or 650.I use a Crown K-2 for my Wilson Audio WHOW sub which complements my Watt/Puppy 5.1. It has fantastic control and power. As t... | |
| Amp for Wadia 860x Your amp should be a balanced design with XLR inputs, because Wadia sounds better with XLR than RCA. I had my 861 directly connected to the Krell FPB300 and this worked fine.Other than the requirement for balanced operation I don't think that your... | |
| Power cords for Wadia 861 Power cords do make a huge difference with the 861. When I had the 861 I had tested some cords and the Shunyata King Cobra V2 was top. Later I used the successor of the King Cobra V2, the Anaconda vX with my Wadia 27ix. These cords give you a big ... | |
| Is this a male hobby or are there females bitten I was always wondering why HIFI is a man's world. When I grew up, we were made to believe that differences between men and women - beside the obvious - are dominated by education. But when I read the very popular book "Why Men Don't Listen And Wom... | |
| Does highend heavy amps needs ampstands? I've experienced significant improvement through the use of resonance control – equipment feet and amp stands!Years back I put my Threshold SA-4e on a Sicomin plate. That was a big step ahead - cleaner sound, improved bass and dynamics. Later I bo... | |
| Shunyata Anaconda VX or Elrod III? I have Electraglide FatMan K, Genghis Khan and Shunyata Anaconda Vx in my system. David Elrod worked for Electraglide and started his business with this knowledge, his cables are very similar to Electraglide. So I hope that my experiences may be o... | |
| Single box player vs transport/dac Today's top class players use propriatary clocklink and there is no standart for it. If you use transport and DAC from different companys you can't have clocklink. Seperates may have benefits because each unit is optimized for it's unique task. Of... | |
| Power Cable for Wadia 860X UCMGR,I also thought, a king cobra V2 is much too expensive for a pc, but what I heard was convincing. I now believe that powercords are as important as IC's or speaker cables.By the way, with my 270/27ix I use electraglide cables with excellent r... | |
| Power Cable for Wadia 860X Your wadia is so good, it's worth using the best power cord. Try the king cobra V2. I've used it on my wadia 861. I also tried the PAD dominus. The dominus was great but the king cobra won by wide margins - bigger depth, great soundstage, much det... | |
