| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner I second you - Rtn1 - in everything you say about the Wadias - to the word. I likewise own that combo and I don't think that anything gets better - well, that's the reason I bought them. What you say about the comparison beween live music and list... | |
| Will sun exposure damage my speakers? Yes, absolutely! During the course of the year my REVEL sub gets quite some sunshine and I cover it with a towel during that time and days. Whatever rubber is used for the cones: it doesn't like the sun at all.Good luck! | |
| Question for all of you Glenn Gould fans ... "A State of Wonder" - that's the title of a Sony release of the Goldberg-Variationen. This CD sounds MUCH better than the CBS stuff - because (according to the booklet) they used an analogue tape which originallly had been run for backup! But CD g... | |
| CD player to choose? : Lindemann or Audionet? I know the Lindemann - had some hype here in Germany. Auditioned it at Franfurt High End. It's a good but NOT a great player regarding what you get for the money. Don't know about the Audionet. But you should definitely look at Wadia, Linn, dCS or... | |
| Anyone use Salamander Design racks? Comments? I have two 40 (black/rosewood) with two bridges in between carrying very heavy stuff (McIntosh MC 2000 and Revel LE-1, which are 140kg alltogether!) The front end such as transport, DAC, Pre, DAT-recorder, harddisk DVD etc. fits nicely into the tw... | |
| How should I treat window behind listening chair? Brick it up!Seriously: I think it's nonsense to hunt for the "ideal room" because there is no such thing. In every concert hall there are hundreds if not thousands of "compromize-spots" to sit in. Who would like to sit in the same seat for a - let... | |
| Redbook: only 1/4 of the master tape??? I agree with the above that it is nonsense to claim a 1:4 loss. I make own recordings of choral/orchestral music so I know the master tapes before they leave the studio for the CD fabrication. I often do comparisons of master and CD and with a rea... | |
| Line conditioner or voltage stabiliser? You should take a look at PS-Audio website (www.psaudio.com)for their PowerPlants. In my system the PS 300 feeding the front end was the biggest improvment for the money!Good luck! | |
| The PS 300 Tube circuit Fantastic change after the Multiwave II upgrade! Go for it and trust your ears!Good luck! | |
| Revel studio or B&W 802 Nautilus Go for the Revels!I'm a fan of Revel's - using the Ultima System myself with McIntosh tubes - even when the Revels ar NOT built for ML gear (who in the world told you that, Kurt_Tank??) | |
| How about a contest? Good joke! | |
| Wadia 270 Transport w/non Wadia DAC Tried it with a Theta and dCS DAC but those are no danger for the Wadia 27ix. I think the clocklink is the key to the wonderful reproduction of all kinds of music you get from this combo. What I find interesting is that some CDs like the Resolutio... | |
| Anyone tried running PS Audio P-300 with no fan ? As I suggested before: go ahead! It's OK that a unit like a PowerPlant is running hot! Every Class A amp does, let alone tube gear. So I never understood the introduction of the fan at all, because if you intend to run high loads where cooling dow... | |
| Mcintosh MC2000 owners please help My MC 2000 is feeding into the REVEL Ultima System and I am perfectly happy with the result. I listened to the Mac into the Sonus Faber Amati which likewise was just pure excellence. I am sure that if you don't ask for the absolute powerhorse (mor... | |
| Anyone tried running PS Audio P-300 with no fan ? Go ahead! My PS 300 is feeding the Wadia 270 transport, the Wadia 27ix DAC, the AudioResearch SP14 and a Sony DAT-Recorder. No problem whatsoever. Display reading 80 watts.It's HOT, yes, but I don't care. The Multiwave II upgrade has cooled things... |
