| Musical Fidelity X-10 Tube Buffer Stage Wrightstuff: Well said. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Put it this way, my car is worth signifcantly less than any one component of my stereo. | |
| CD players with variable output/volume control Newmanoc: I appreciate your qualifiction. I am running a Prima MK II SE DAC direct into my amp and find it outstanding. It has a tube output linestage built in and sounds great. I have not yet made any direct comparsions with a linestage in the mi... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Vertigo: Without a doubt the TRL SA-14 sounds better than the XA777 on redbook CD. The way you described the XA777 is exactly the way I would put it: SACD was wonderful and redbook was a bit dry and could be a little uninvolving (but very accurate... | |
| What are the best CD Player around $3500? Having owned the 6900 for several years and with a few different CDP's (XA777ES, MAC MCD 205) I would say the the 6900 will make nice music with pretty muchany of the CDP's you listed. I do not think it will mate poorly with any of them. Of the on... | |
| ExactPower EP15A Nsgarch: Thank you. Going back and reading the first few posts of this thread was clarifying. Conclusion: clean and stable power, then balanced power.One other question: could I stack an SP15-A and EP15-A on top of one another or would there be to... | |
| ExactPower EP15A I guess I have to figure out whether I would benefit more from a regenerator or a balance power unit. How do I do that? | |
| ExactPower EP15A I am trying to decide between the EP-15A, the BPT 10.5, and the Equitech 1.5Q. I am leaning toward the BPT and would love to hear others views about these units. | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Received my TRl SA-14 v2 yesterday. Let the break-in begin. I bought the unit used before I had it sent to TRL, so the unit as a whole is broken in. Do I still need to break in CD and SACD seperately post mod? Thanks, | |
| Which amp next ? I second the nomination for the 350.5. I own the 250.5 and love it. I can only imagine that the 350.5 is exceptional s well. | |
| How much does your system retail for? 20K. Over fifteen years of buying and selling demo/new/used to get there. | |
| Transport to accompany DAC Robm321 has a good suggestion. You might also consider the new CEC TL51-Z belt driven CD transport ($1250 new). | |
| Downsized and still happy, can it happen? I do not think one necessarily has to compromise when going to integrated amps these days (MAC 6900 and Levinson 383 are amazing integrateds). That said, let me offer you a slightly different perspective. I now have a DAC that also acts as my line... | |
| Exactpower EP-15A for my system? Do you need both or could I plug everything into the EP15A? | |
| PassLabs X250 X350 and X250.5 I do not have a pre, per se. I have an Audio Aero Prima MK II SE DAC that doubles as a linestage. It has analog volume control and 2 line level inputs (in addition to the numerous digital inputs). I love it. And by the way, I am blown away by the ... |
