| SACD player/streamer with built-in Volume Control The BDA-3.14 has volume control. This control is via the supplied remote or an app (e.g. Bryston's, Roon). And, as has already been said, it will support an SACD feed on its HDMI ports. I'm a dealer and plan to set up a 3.14 for demonstration, by ... | |
| Speaker recommendations, budget $10-15K Can you get to northern NJ? I can't think of a speaker I'd rather have at that price point than the B&W 800D. I bought a pair. Intend to move to KEF Blades, so the B&W's are up for auction for 12k. Auction ends Sunday. I just figured if yo... | |
| Where to go after Bel Canto Ref1000MKII Hi Doggiehowser,Based on our correspondence and other opinions out there and my own experiences, I'm leaning towards the McIntosh MEN220 Room Perfect solution. My goal is to get the speed and lack of coloration one hears from live unamplified musi... | |
| Where to go after Bel Canto Ref1000MKII Doggiehowser - Thanks for that answer. If I understand correctly, you're talking about a small difference between the Bel Canto Ref1000mII and the Nemo. Since you said the SA-Reference was a slight improvement in every regard except the bass, as c... | |

| Where to go after Bel Canto Ref1000MKII Doggiehowser - is that the Bel Canto 1000MII that you replaced or the Bel Canto amp before it? | |
| Where to go after Bel Canto Ref1000MKII How do you describe the improvement that the Electrocompaniet gave you over the Bel Canto Ref1000MkII. And, what magnitude of improvement? | |
| Grateful Dead One from the Vault Hi Mike,I may have found it through Google. I tracked it down to a place in Italy, if memory serves. I may have been searching other countries' amazon.coms, when I found it. It took a while. It was not Gemm, I remember that. But, Gemm is a good so... | |
| High WAF, simple, integrated amplifier Searching for a narrow unit (i.e. 12" or less) will limit your options, as most all components are 17" wide, give or take a 1/2". And, you might want to buy used to stay within your budget. Also, the simplicity of inputs and lack of tone controls ... | |
| McIntosh C2200 w/ solid state amp? I've got the C2200 and used it first with Bel Canto Evo200.2s., two of them. Absolutely gorgeous. I am now running into powered Linn Artikulats--same result. I've also heard this preamp drive the MC402, a Mac solid state amp, lots of times. I sell... |
