| Spelts interconnects silver ? They are wonderful, G. Extremely good bang for the buck as well. They replaced three complete sets of ICs that I owned from 3 different mfgs, that retailed (per 1M pair) for $500, $900, and $1,300 respectively. If you like the Anti-cables, you wil... | |
| Spelts interconnects silver ? Yes, he does. I have a couple pairs of his 1.5m ICs. They are made with two lengths of a thinner gauge magnet wire, one for the center conductor of the RCA, and one for the outer housing of the RCA, which also acts to filter stray RF /EMI. He make... | |
| CD players with variable output/volume control You can add Modwright's 999ES and 9000ES players to the list as well, as long as you ask for the DACT attenuator option. BTW, there'a a Modwright 999ES w/volume control listed now.Wonderfully musical players! | |
| Belles 350a Reference, Classe 2200, Ayre V-5x, We have no idea what your priorities are...Everything in audio is "give and take", and one piece will not fit everyone's needs. So tell us what you like and what's most important to you! | |
| David Elrod. the man , the cable the company. Bobby P of Merlin, Emmanuel Go of First Sound. Good people! | |
| What is the quietest preamp you've used? Dehavilland Ultra Verve, First Sound Presence Deluxe mkII | |
| solid state amps matched with tube pre amp Absolutely turn off the amp before the preamp goes off and and turn the preamp on before the amp... I've had the UV paired with various solid state amps, and the results of turning off the preamp while the amps were on resulted in anything from tr... | |
| Dedicated CD Player Recommendation Erik,You should hear what Dan at Modwright can do to your 9000ES with the addition of his mods and a tube output stage. If you think it's good now, you'll be floored. Simply outstanding! | |
| Cables for a high-school newbie Give the Speltz Anti-cables a try. Enormous bang for the buck! | |
| Best solid state pre-amp below US $ 10.000,00 ?? I had the linestage feature within the Audio Aero Prima DAC (the same as used in the Capitole) I used to own. I ran it as a preamp for a short while, and I can tell you that it is no match for any of the quality preamps you mention above, or my cu... | |

| Analogue volume control on CDP Modwright's Sony 9000ES or 999ES. For the money, and a lot more, hard to beat! | |
| Full Range Speaker $15-$20000 Range? You should give the EgglestonWorks Andra IIs a listen. Soundstage is awesome, and they completely disappear. They are extremely dynamic and natural sounding. Supposedly a good match with Thor gear, but I haven't personally heard them with Thor. No... | |
| BAT + VR 4 JR = ? You should try the Speltz Anti-cables and Anti-ICs. For the money can't be beat, and just might be your last set of cables. | |
| Tube preamp with great pace?Cary, Supratek, etc.? Put the DeHavilland UltraVerve on your list. It's very fast, has great PRAT, and let's you customize the sound by rolling just one 6SN7. It's a must hear. |
