| Best budget CDP? I use a Playstation 1 Model SCPH-1001 as my CD player. I have an Onix XCD-88 CD player (virtually identical to Music Hall CD-25.1), but ever since I was given a Playstation 1, I haven't looked back. I added three Isonode feet for vibration isolati... | |
| Anyone tried the original Playstation 1 for CD? The Playstation 1's SMPS is actually good with the upgraded power cord and fuse. I chose an Isoclean fuse over the HiFi Tuning fuse since it is UL-approved. The dynamic range is noticeably better with the Isoclean fuse. A friend of mine who also u... | |
| Anyone tried the original Playstation 1 for CD? I just installed an Isoclean 5mm x 20mm 2A fuse in my Playstation and it actually enhanced the PS1's performance. The best way I can describe it is that it just built upon the same improvements that the PS Audio power cord made. For $30 this was a... | |
| Anyone tried the original Playstation 1 for CD? Bob:I would hold off on pursuing modifications to the PS1 for now. Checking some of the threads on http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31123&highlight=, there is no one standard power supply design that works flawless... | |
| Who still repairs Naim Nait 1 integrateds? I had my Nait 1 recently serviced by Hawthorne Stereo in Seattle. When they returned the amp, they also included the old electrolytic capacitors that they replaced. The unit virtually looks the same as when I shipped it. I did photograph the insid... | |
| Anyone tried the original Playstation 1 for CD? Baranyi:You owe your daughter a Playstation! That's wonderful that you discovered how good this little game console can be for CD playback. For improved sound, try a good shielded power cord with an IEC C7 female connector on the component end lik... | |
| Anyone tried the original Playstation 1 for CD? Jonathan1257Which specific Playstation model did you purchase?SpareribsI have never heard a Denon 3910, but a friend of mine who had the Electrocompaniet CD player (retails for about $5700) with the acclaimed Anagram DAC, likes his Playstation 1 M... | |
| Anyone tried the original Playstation 1 for CD? I have since acquired a Playstation 1 Model SCPH-1001 (the "original" grey box PS1), and I am using it with my recently serviced Naim Nait 1 integrated amplifier. I purchased a PS Audio xStream Power Punch C7 power cord from AVOnline and connected... | |
| Anyone tried the original Playstation 1 for CD? Some friends found out I was interested in trying a Playstation 1 as a CD player, and bought a used SCPH-9001 for me. Apparently, they didn't know that the preferred model is SCPH-1001. Anyway, I hooked it up to my system and let it "warm up." Now... | |
| Which is the best SET integrated amp under $1500? The Almarro A205A MkII integrsted is very high on my list of SET integrated amplifiers regardless of cost, even though it's really a single ended pentode EL-84 integrated. Still, it possesses the virtues of modern SET designs with great dynamics, ... | |
| Any impressions of Almarro 205a mk.ii integrated? The Almarro A205A MkII with the Omega Super 3 speakers are a match made in heaven. I recently auditioned the amp with the Super 3Rs, basically a Super 3 with some upgraded components and cabinet damping. I heard the system at Witch Doctor Audio in... | |
| Opinions on Onix Reference 1 monitors?? I have had my Onix Reference 1 MkII monitors since February 2006, and I am amazed at how well they image and extend down to their 42Hz bottom end. The Vifa HF driver is ultra-smooth with no hint of sibilance or harshness. Room placement is critica... | |
| onix ref 1/sp3 package deal Just an update with my Onix SP3/Reference Mk II/XCD-88 system--I have since filled my speaker stands with sand, swapped in some Groove Tubes 12AX-7M (Mullar reissues) preamp tubes, swapped in a new Zu Cable Birth power cord on the SP3, and swapped... | |
| EL34 Integrated I have the Onix SP3 integrated amp. I bought it strictly on Srajan Ebaen's Six Moons review. Previous to that, I was seriously considering a Conrad Johnson CAV-50 EL-34 based integrated amplifier. I am so glad that I bought the Onix SP3. The CAV-5... |
