| Herron VTSP-3A No, Lewinski, unfortunately I have not yet tried the Herron and I am currently running a MUSE Model Three Signature preamp with outboard display/power supply into my balanced Clayton M300 amps. Although nowhere near as expensive as some preamps I ... | |
| MUSE Erato II - Anyone using this player? Good one Chayro. | |
| MUSE Erato II - Anyone using this player? Amazing, that not a single person that posts on this forum or on Audio Asylum has heard a player that Roy Gregory of HiFi+ calls,"a performance marker against which other products should be compared, a benchmark in the truest sense of the word." | |
| CDP choices-Looking for advice If you can stretch your budget just a little, I would upgrade the CDP 0.6 recommended by Drrsutliff above to the Lector CDP 7TL. Even the first generation 7TL machine is likely to be an improvement over the 0.6 due to the outboard and beefier powe... | |

| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Jamesgarvin, I understand that it would help you form a point of reference had the reviewer made specific comparisons, but they didn't. Maybe you should take Audio Horizons up on their free trial offer and report back on your impressions of how th... | |
| Coda VS Muse Model 3 Signature Sorry, I have had a lot of preamps through here, but no Coda gear whatsoever. I am anxious to see how the preamp comparision will go once the quality of the balanced cable I am using from preamp to amps with the MUSE preamp matches the quality of ... | |
| Coda VS Muse Model 3 Signature I owned the Model 3 Signature a few years ago and sold it to begin a foray into a variety of tubed preamps. With a recent amp upgrade to monoblocks with only balanced inputs, I found myself in a position of trying to find a good balanced preamp. M... | |
| Amps in the same class as Pass XA.5 series Tvad, do you still want to hear a pair of Clayton's or is that water under the bridge already? If you do still want to hear some, I can try and hook you up. Unfortunately, the mfg is in St. Louis and the main distributor is out east. If you ever g... | |
| Amps in the same class as Pass XA.5 series A couple of others you might want to compare with the Pass amps include the Lamm M1.2 Reference (110wpc) and M2.2 (220wpc), both of which are monoblock hybrids with a single 6922 tube per amp in the input stage; or the Clayton M200 or M300 (monobl... | |
| Oppo 83 SE Sound in Absolute Terms ? No problem Cmalak...I just wanted to be clear. Although I haven't always liked the sonic presentation of the Ayre gear I have owned, I have always respected the build quality, the value for the money, and especially their commitment to customers a... | |
| Oppo 83 SE Sound in Absolute Terms ? the Ayre unit could very well be just a minor step up from the Oppo (as Mitch2 describes)Cmalak, to clarify, "just a minor step up" is not at all what I was implying and not what I said. My intent was to point out that several well known modders a... | |
| Oppo 83 SE Sound in Absolute Terms ? The stock Oppo 83se is reported to sound pretty good for a $900 one-box-does-it-all solution. You may want to be more specific with your question regarding the price range of players (or specific players) you are trying to compare to. One place to... | |
| Volex cables - No longer belden??? Considering the end use is to help facilitate a high quality improvement in the sound of your system, and considering the value of your time it will take for DIY, why even mess with a standard copper cable when you can buy this very reasonably pri... | |
| Blu ray with good Redbook specs? There are several well regarded companies modding the Oppo 83 SE for that very purpose of providing high quality two channel (or multi-channel) audio. Check out ModWright, EVS, and RAM. Prices for two of those mods are quite reasonable ranging fro... |
