| used high-end DAC or affordable newer model? As, maybe even more important, is your transport. No matter which DAC, it will only be as good as the laser /transport reading/sending signal. Consider soomething like a CEC belt-drive transport/cd player. Later add a hot dac then you've have a wo... | |
| DAC decision, help please Your Tercet is OOOOOLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDD. If you're happy with the sound, leave it alone. Laser might be fading. Drawer mechanism was notoriously problematic, too. Save your money for a nice new one box. GamuT CD-1 for $2950, numerous decent contende... | |
| Am I being fair? I had 2 AGers recently agree to buy, only to change their minds within 24 hours. Don't let them lay a guilt trip on you. | |
| Sunfire's new "Ultimate Receiver worth 4 grand? Only you know what you are willing to pay to enjoy the pleasure of life-like music in your home. Now, if you would rather spend say $2995, I highly recommend the Plinius 8200 MkII. 30 day in-home trial available from www.audiotweakers.com | |
| Help in Speaker Selection Definitely Reference 3A MM de CAPOS- 92dB, cavernous soundstage. Small SETs, and/or sub 120 wpc amps. If needed add a SV Subwoofer and you've got a killer speaker system for less then $3300. If interested, I can provide you with a copy of my 2 yea... | |

| Subwoofer recommendations for this system? We have similar rooms and satellite speak efficiencies (Ref 3A de CAPOS- 92 dB). I recently added a SV Sub PC-Plus. I am very happy $750.00. If you go that route, tell them Robert Hart of Audio Tweakers sent you. No commission, just brownie points | |
| Confused addict: need help with upgrade Good advice from the prior writers. Nice to see some guys "get it"! You might want to read "10 Secrets to Better Sound" at www.audiotweakers.com It's loaded with insight as to why changing componets should be the last thing to do. | |
| 300B Speakers, Reynaud & Reference 3A I have heard the Ref 3A de CAPOS with low powered SETs at shows, which are horrible conditions. However, based on that we took on the line. | |
| digital glare - problems/solutions I already have a PS Audio Ultimae Outlet. I just put 3 sets of Stillpoints under CD Player, Plinius amp, and SV Sub. Shockingly better. I ordered 3 more sets. Review available. Email me. | |
| Kinergatics amp I loved my KBA-75 Platinum. Company out of biz, make sure someone is authorized to work on it. I screwed up and blew mine up. You can email me for alternatives. | |
| CD Player: Audio Aero Capitole Mk I vs. Mk II I sold my Plinius integrated to prepare for a Capitole. Seems to be too many problems with them. GamuT CD-1 is extremely close, for a lot less $$$$$$. | |
| Am I missing something in the MFSL Tarkus LP Chances are your system was out of phase with then record.This would account for your comments. Want to know more about such stuff? Go to www.audiotweakers.com | |
| Best efficient, passive sub - Any suggestions? Bass amplification is more demanding then your Jolida is qualified to handle. If your preampsection has dual outs you're in business. If not AA sells Monster adapters so you can run a second pair of interconnects to an active sub. SV Subs makes so... | |
| Does subwoofer + bookshelve=full range speaker? If your question supercedes B&W and ML, then I can tell you I am using Reference 3A MM de Capos with a SVSubwoofer- total retail $3200. I have owned Genesis Vs ($12K), Accoustat 2+2 and 3+3s, Chateau References (monitors) with dual Sunfire MK ... |
