| Audio Research Ref: CD8 One thing I have noticed and mentioned many times before is that the sound of 6H30 tube based equipment is just not as musical as it's 6922 bretheren. In fact, almost any other tube based gear I've used sounded better than any of the 6H30 stuff I'... | |
| Sub users... I have my subs on wood platforms next to my Sophias and even with the mid range drivers. I use MIT Oracle V1.1 IC's fed by my preamp outs. The integration gives me the range and slam of the Watt/Puppy 6's I used to have in my previous house. | |
| Question concerning power cords . . . Call Robert Stein at The Cable Company and ask for help and some loaners...ya never know until you try!! | |
| AC Power Cord and Krell Pre kusina, I used a Transparent on my 202 and loved it, but please do your self a favor and try some different brands from Robert Stein at the Cable Company. | |
| Sub users... Rives summed it up well...I also use 2 subs to even out the modes and to enhance low end weight and impact below 30hz which is where my Sophias begin to roll off:O) | |
| Upgrade speaker cables OR amp for Dynaudio C4's? Missioncoonery is correct. As I said, if power is an issue I would go high power SS then tweak the cables. | |
| Recommendations for a CD player $1500 or less FYI, I have purchased several Sony products over the years, including the SCD-1 for $2300 new, the XA777ES for $1500 new and the XA9000ES for $2000 from reputable local dealers. American Theatre was my first out of state purchase as my other avenu... | |
| Recommendations for a CD player $1500 or less Look, for the price of the Sony vs the competition, even if it breaks, you could buy several units until you would spend the amount needed to purchase a unit that rivals it's performance:O) The Sony is special in the way it Ladders the DAC's and r... | |
| MIT cables and super tweeters MIT cables have always outperformed any of the competition I have tried on my gear, from ARC and BAT reference gear to Levinson and Krell SS. Wire is just wire if it isn't MIT. Try any competitor and then try MIT...if you have ears and have ever h... | |
| Recommendations for a CD player $1500 or less I just spoke with Kevin and he assured me that I have the full 5 year warranty. I love the player:O) | |
| Recommendations for a CD player $1500 or less Mine actually came from the Record Shop in NJ, who is associated with Kevin. I geuss until I need service I won't really know for sure/ | |

| Upgrade speaker cables OR amp for Dynaudio C4's? First off the pro 9's are not very good...I just got rid of mine. I had the C4's as well and they demand alot of power. Third, try MIT spkr cables for realistic sound. If you like the current amp try the cables from The Cable Co...maybe Magnum M3 ... | |
| Question concerning power cords . . . Try a Transparent MM Reference power cord in your system...you will be awestruck at what it can do for your components. Believe me, I've tried many reference PC's and found that wire alone can be made to sound different, but not better than any ot... | |
| Recommendations for a CD player $1500 or less Yes, buy it immediately! It is a phenomenal player for both RB and SACD. This player has put a smile on my face more so than my Krell SACD standard, BAT VK D5 24bit, Levinson 360s/37 combo, 390s 0r Wadia 861se. I also owned the Sony SCD-1, XA777ES... |
