| Did you ever take a step back I'm about to. Taking delivery tomorrow of a Lamm LL2 Deluxe preamp, which is considerably less expensive than the reference linestage that's presently installed.I have fond memories of the LL2 Deluxe in another system configuration, so I want to h... | |
| Marantz 8001 SACD Player mods? IMO, mods would likely make the 8001 sound better than the SA-15 or SA-11. Would it trounce them? That's really a matter of personal preference.Some people write of "jaw dropping" experiences that others would describe as a marginal improvements.I... | |
| Where to use a pair of interconnects? What Philjolet said. | |
| Anyone listened to the 50th Ann Shuguang KT-88 Perhaps the previous poster meant it wasnt a secret anymore? :-pDougstubes .Correct. | |
| VTA on a Triplanar My post was not a joke.The uniqueness of the VTA-on-the-fly adjustment on the Triplanar was mentioned in an article I read on a stereo review website, not here. My comment was not intended as a response to Mikelavigne's post in this thread.My comm... | |
| Audio Aero Prima - not responding Hopefully the other tech will have a more reasonable repair estimate. | |
| APL Audio Alex replaced the laser assembly in my 3910 on December 19. He received the player in the late morning, and he shipped the repaired player back to me the same day.That's pretty good service.For four weeks prior to that, he returned several emails ... | |
| Marantz 8001 SACD Player mods? I would advise against paying to have the unit modded as you will take a bath upon resale with the mods fetching perhaps a third (or less) of what you paid for them. I've owned six modded digital players. Two were purchased "new", and I sold them ... | |
| Audio Aero Prima - not responding 01-19-09: Audiotombupdate - response from Greg at Globe$800 for a full replacement drive.If it was my player, and as much as it would hurt, I would not proceed with the repair.I'd buy a different player. Or, I'd look for a newer Prima with a Sony ... | |
| Pass Labs X1 owners Can't you simply place the power supply temporarily on the floor to test the theory? I'm auditioning a Xono phono preamp with separate power supply. I have read one review in which the reviewer recommends separating the head unit from the power su... | |

| VTA on a Triplanar 01-19-09: Mikelavigneone of the great design features of the Triplaner is that VTA can be set dynamically (as you are listening), it is easy to change, and the changes are repeatable (there is a scale).I read this just yesterday. It was mentioned ... | |
| binding post break in Ed, I didn't read your post as a joke. It was pretty dry. My mistake. Sometimes a ":)" helps. | |
| Looking for a CDP from a company that'll be around I think expecting to have a CDP for many, many years without operational problems is unrealistic. Yes, I know there are folks here who will now post about players they own that they've had since "Happy Days" was on the air, but overall, CD players... | |
| Musicians? In most instances where I hear live music (jazz clubs, arenas, stadiums), the sound of the live event is often worse than the sound from my stereo. I listen primarily to rock, and jazz. Very little classical.If the baseline for live/stereo compari... |
