| Anyone solved MF Tri Vista SACD problems? Cerrot,1. Again I ask, why does this hostility only go at Musical Fidelity?Krell used the same Philips transport in the SACD Standard. Did they stockpile transports in case of failure? Did they know it was a crap transport when they built/designed... | |

| DCS Scarlati v Esoteric P-01,D-01 I have a copy of a PDF document entitled "Esoteric Transport Comparison", downloaded from Esoteric's website.I also have a Scarlatti transport.My view is that the Scarlatti has the VRDS VMK-1.1 transport.The Absolute Sound was wrong to assert that... | |
| dcs Delius vs dcs Elgarplus DAC? Hi Jaymark,I owned a Delius for 5 years: however I can't comment directly on the comparison against Elgar Plus because I didn't A-B the two.I did investigate the differences at the time of buying. The Elgar Plus has a somewhat better power supply ... | |
| Why power cable effect overall syste sound? Hifitime,Since you need it explained, Grant (Samuel) is referring to you, Schipo and the others in your group of serial pests who are posting near identical messages expressing your power cord scepticism on every power cord thread opened in the la... | |
| Cables for Sophia 2 and Burmester Hi Toffen,I have Sophia 2s with dCS VerdiEncore/Delius and Musical Fidelity kW 500.I have had superb results from a loom of Acrolink Mexcel cables. That is 7N-DA6100, 7N-S20000, a 7N-PC9100 to the DAC and a 7N-PC7100 to the transport. There is als... | |

| Is there a transparent MM1 version? MM1 is an unofficial name for MM.MM was called MM until MM2 appeared: then people started calling it MM1. You certainly won't find "MM1" printed on network boxes. I recall my MM version Reference ICs and Ultra SCs did have "MM" printed by the seri... | |

| Is there a better quality Firewire cable? Hi Tbg,I bought my 8N-6P-6PI cable locally in Australia.The Cable Company lists them (look under Acrolink).However, I'm pretty certain that they come only in combinations of 4 and 6 pins. | |
| Is there a better quality Firewire cable? Hi Tbg,Yes they do matter.In the context of the 1394 link carrying DSD from a dCS Verdi Encore transport to a dCS DAC I have found a major improvement by using the Esoteric 8N-6P-6PI cable (actually made by Acrolink in Japan). That improvement is ... | |
| Musicl Fidelity A3.2 integrated or A3 separates Hi Tdav,The separates are a definite class above. In their day they were considered outstanding, particularly the preamp.
