| Dartzeel or Mark Levinson 33H I have a pair of Chimera's in my system right now. The Chimera's are rated at 4Ohm but drop down to 2.5Ohm. In my experience using different amplifiers of different power ratings I'd say the most difficult region to drive falls somewhere in the up... | |

| Is iPod Digital Output Possible? Hi Steve - I know about MSB but I didn't realize you were doing digital out modifications to iPods - can you point me to some additional information? | |
| Is iPod Digital Output Possible? I just stumbled upon what appears to be a (lower priced) iPod dock solution that has a Toslink digital audio output - Escient FP-1. Here are photos of the FP-1Does anyone know anything about this solution for potentially interfacing an iPod to a DAC? | |

| Best low priced transport Hi Bigkidz, if you can find a Sony CDP-X707ES you may want to check it out. Some people think it has one of the best transport mechanisms ever made. I believe the mechanism itself is still in production and is used in the Sony Pro CDP3100 CD playe... | |
| Manly Steelhead - any downside?? Downunder - I'd recommend Telefunken CCa's if you can find some. They have a certain sonic purity which is great for phono applications. Before the Telefunken's I had the early Siemens CCa's which are "highly regarded" and found them screechy. Sid... | |
| Mac gear "Slow" or others "Fast" Heeeeyyyyyy.... my last post was intended to be an email to Grannyring. Did I screw up or did Audiogon? Are they implementing a new feature?? What's going on here!?!?!!?!??! :) | |
| Mac gear "Slow" or others "Fast" Hi Bill, I noticed from Audiogon you sold your Wright Sound amps and got a McIntosh 402. Are you using the 402 to drive the IM Bens? Or did you sell the Ben's too? Just curious. I've embarked on a SET type system and your experience would be quite... | |
| Universal Players: Video Quality? I've had a few universal players and currently use an APL modified McIntosh MVP861. The stock player is "essentially" a McIntosh re-engineered Denon with a hot-rodded power supply in a nice case. The video on the player is fantastic! Easily better... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Tom.. the E180F's go in the front sockets. Putting the 6922's in the front followed by the E180F's in the "middle" of the preamp might destroy your preamp. Cortese Tube Layout.............6SN7..........6SN7............................6922......69... | |
| quality or quantity? The trouble with most power cords is that (regardless of cord) they fix certain problems and cause others. There really is no exception to this since there is no perfect power cord. Given that you use mostly LAMM equipment, I suspect your system s... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I have read comments before about the "hanging tube" found in Merlot monoblocks. I suspect the photos are of a Supratek developed and factory executed design.If you look inside a new Supratek preamp, it is much cleaner looking because there is les... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Steve, you are right, one must have attenuation. Sorry, I didn't intend to imply that running a phono stage direct to an amp would be a good idea for long term usage. It is only an experiment. Listening with and without a preamp is the only real w... |
