| Preamp-Tonearm Grounding Problems? Please list all your equipment so we can have a go at a solution. Add any power conditioners or cheater plugs, etc. | |
| New Cable Help-Balanced or Single Ended If the source DAC has balanced outputs and the DR25 has balanced circuits it will sound much better, IMHO, especially if you are in a "noise rich" environment. I'm not, and it sounds better than SE. IMHO. The bablnced input also gives more gain an... | |
| Best power for 10,000 Danielk141 has it right on the nose. I own Pass products and they are great. The 250 makes good speaker sound better. | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? Anything by Sting, in any incarnation, only rivaled by Michael Bolton. Wish I had their dough, though. | |
| Best power for 10,000 If you like the Klimax get an Adcom GFP-750 until the exchequer recovers. Then, listen again, you may not want to get rid of it. They're available under a grand here. | |
| Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS I just had an experience where the debit card that I had previously used charge free (to seller or buyer) on PayPal is now considered a credit card. A seller denied my payment based on the fee charged to the seller. I have asked them for clarifica... | |
| Marantz SA-14 vs Sony XA777ES I'm awaiting the arrival of a SA-14 so I will keep you posted. For redbook I will be able to compare to my Wadia 850. Unfortunately I do not have the XA777ES to compare it to although I do have one of the inexpensive SONYs SACD (the DVD 500 whatev... | |

| Cheap speaker tweak Nice post - these can be good for amps, too, YMMV, depensing on setup etc. | |
| What is the best matching DAC for Sony SCD-1 ? I tried it with the Digital input to my Wadia 850 with superior results. | |
| BC Recommends-Grace by Jeff Buckley Excellent choice. I heard his father at Fillmore East on a bill with Joe Cocker and the Jefferson Airplane. Jeff did a live performance of a few of his songs live on 92.5 FM The River here in NH a few weeks before he died that was fun and compelli... | |
| Opera What is the best opera recording? The Ring Cycle; Weiner Philharmoniker, cond. Solti either on original vinyl or the latest CD remaster on DECCA. Great performances by the classic artists, great sound. Stereophile reviewed this CD several years ago - it might be in their archives ... | |
| Best CD player with Pass X150???? The easiest way to say it is I have never had a situation where I felt the source material or the system context exceeded what the Wadia could reveal. | |
| The most erotic passages in classical music I cited an example, you provided the understanding. Vielen danke! | |
| one or two Sub-woofers? 1. What is your front end and wall juice? If either are lightweight you may not be getting the sound you want.2.I would RESPECTFULLY suggest you eschew subwoofers in favor either a Wolcott amp and/or Sound Lab M-1 or A-3 speakers. All of these ite... |
