| How to trick a player into reading SACD layer? Correct, but it is soooo sweet sounding:) | |
| Anyone compared AR HD 220 to Accuphase P-7000? Had em all. The HD220 offers great detail at the expense of warmth, sweetness and roundedness. Wonder why the HD220 is not reviewed when all the other new ARC offerings are examined almost immediately? | |
| XLR interconnects? Truth Links are by no means a reference wire, but it is superior to the others mentioned. As I said, if your new at this stuff, enjoy the ride...maybe the 'Bama will send you some audio stimulus money (assuming you don't already pay taxes). | |
| XLR interconnects? Ah yes, the micropurls...owned them when they were first released. Couldn't send them back fast enough. Enjot the trip...it took me many years and much cash to go through all the offerings...studio cable like mogami and Goertz are just a couple ex... | |
| Anyone compared AR HD 220 to Accuphase P-7000? Please go with the VS115...I had the same gear with the HD220...the amp sucks and should be pulled from the market. Nice of the press to give ARC a pass, isn't it! | |
| XLR interconnects? I'm selling a new pair of HT Truthlinks for $195...hard to beat! | |
| Should I be worried if buying a 5-6 year old CDP? Please consider the new Sony SCD XA5400ES CD/SACD player. It is an amazing player with near state of the art performance for $1180 street. I've owned Levinson, Wadia, Krell, BAT, ARC etc.. This unit is unique and incorporates some never before imp... | |
| Narrowed speaker selection down to 5 choices Almost forgot, what are you using for the source? | |
| Narrowed speaker selection down to 5 choices Oh my God, get the Sophias man...you will never regret investing in a Wilson speaker from either a sonic standpoint or a financial one. Wilsons are always sought after and they hold their value better than any:) Easy to drive as well! | |
| AC Power Cord and Krell Pre JM..2 is correct. Transparent would be my choice. | |
| How to trick a player into reading SACD layer? Sell it and get the new Sony SCD XA5400ES which plays everything flawlessly and with state of the art sound...I did:) | |
| b&k amps In my opinion, I would give them the nod as the go to value for amplification now that Krell has abandoned their design principles in favor of euro industry guidlines...in other words, the new amps suck! The B&K stuff was born out of some form... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player As the player has broken in it has really blossomed; so full of color, dynamic shadings galore, inner detail, grain and glare free, depth and imaging beyond reproach. This sucker challenges state of the art:) | |
| Wilson Sophia 2's on Marantz Reference Hansen sells their 3 way for $39,000 vs Wilson's Sophia for $15,000...now that's value:) What happened to my Swedish friend? | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player RCA sounds best, compared to the balanced outputs...don't know why but that seems to be the case. I am strictly 2 channel so my opinions only reflect such a perspective. FYI, I am using my Oracle AC 2 power cord on it which don't hurt either:) I o... |
