| Reliability/Repair Issues w/Sony 9000es DVD player Mine is rock-solid.The warranty is 3 years.SACD performance is very high-end.CD performance is only "good".Ken | |
| HELP Lack of bass with Pioneer PD-65 Elite I used this player as a transport four or five years. I never liked its stand-alone playback sound. It uses something called "legato link" which is some kind of proprietary upsampling/interpolation. This feature cannot be switched off.I liked it a... | |
| 300B Tubes - Which is Best? I thought Cary used the 300B up to a threshold (10-12 watts?) then the "big gun" (845/211) kicks in up to the rated maximum (50 watts?). | |
| Phillips 963 SA or Denon 2200 for SACD playback? I own the Philips but don't use it for SACD.Unles you want multi-channel SACD playback, get a Sony 9000ES. These do SACD right and can be had for $500 or so (used). | |
| Best material for isolation purposes I use (4) sorbothane hemispheres underneath and (6 - 8) Black Diamond Racing cones on top of my preamp. | |

| Stupid question of the day: Should I leave Amp on? Ideally, standby leaves the primary gain stage(s) powered up so your capacitors stay nice and juicy and ready to go.The final, power consuming stage is switched off. | |
| Stupid question of the day: Should I leave Amp on? I speak for all the experts when I say: "If it's not tubes or solid-state with class-A bias, leave it turned on". Class-A solid-state uses too much electricity to leave powered up 24/7.Now some experts say that it's O. K. to leave a tube preamp po... | |
| Anyone in Vegas listen to the Gilmore speakers??? I count myself in the "audiophile camp", not being a friend of Mr. Gilmore or someone financially dependent on his success.I think these speakers are more than "O. K." but do agree that these, and most hi-end products, are grossly overpriced.I lau... | |
| Check this out I always return broken stuff and never get an argument.The new threat is bogus albums dressed up to look like the real thing but in fact are not.For instance, I was doing some casual saturday afternoon shopping (Best-Buy) when I found what I thoug... | |
| Run direct from ML 390s CD player without preamp? I did this with my ML-39 and ARC VT-100 with good results.There are those who claim using a preamp results inbetter sound. Try both and decide what is right for you. |
