| Graham 2: Reliability Issues I've owned a Graham 1.5t for about 7 or 8 years and the 2.0 for one with no problems at all. Surprised to hear about any problems with these arms. Now I'm probably doomed! Maybe it'll be the 2.2 upgrade I just ordered..... | |
| Best Integrated Davetan, I do find it funny that of the seven posts so far, only one has made reference to your list of six candidates. Question really is what's your price range, what are your power requirements, what are your musical and sonic priorities and pr... | |
| Best Integrated Not sure what your power requirements or musical priorities are, but you might want to add the Jadis Orchestra Reference to the list, if you are considering an integrated purchase. | |
| Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help Martice, good luck! If nothing else, at the worst you'll have a fine DVD player that also plays CDs, DADs and SACDs. I'm interested in how you like it, so let us know. | |
| Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help Jadem6, I think you (and I too) may have misread some of Martice's post, as I went back to re-read it. Martice, I'll try to answer your ultimate question as to why I bought a 777ES with limited (certainly not no) software available. To begin with,... | |
| JADIS DEFY 7 SPIT SPUTTER One more possibility is Savant Audio down in Princeton, who I believe has a technician who can service Jadis. | |
| JADIS DEFY 7 SPIT SPUTTER Trelja's correct on this--there is one authorized repair facility in the US I know of, and he's located in Colorado, I believe. The importer has narrowed the dealer network considerably. You might also want to ask Lyric Hi-Fi in Manhattan, as I be... | |
| JADIS DEFY 7 SPIT SPUTTER Yes. Mike O'Keefe at Audio Outlet has a technician in upper Westchester or Dutchess County that he has referred his customers who own Jadis to, including me. He wasn't able to find the problem with my JP80, but that unit is highly modified and it ... | |
| JADIS DEFY 7 SPIT SPUTTER Jctubes is right, it could be one of a number of things. If it consistently occurs after warmup, it sounds like it could be thermally related. I had a similar problem with my JP80; it was a bad resistor. More likely, it could also be a bad capacit... | |
| Auditioning Audio Gear - The Music Used Since I primarily listen to classical music, there are a few discs I bring--Bernstein-Candide, Reference Recordings for full scale orchestral, dynamics and bass, Handel--Arias for Cuzzoni and Corelli, Concerti Grossi, both with McGeagan and the Ph... | |
| Where do you guys buy replacement tubes? I agree with Deano and 84audio, Andy is my trusted source of all things tubes. You can't go wrong with him. | |
| Dealer Ethics? - Anonymous disparagement I believe that a dealer has as much right to voice an honest opinion as the rest of us, but it would be relevant to the members reading the post to know that it is a dealer, or for that matter a competing manufacturer. Is there any way that Audiog... | |
| What to do? What to do? Alon I and II (used for the IIs to stay in your price range) sound excellent with Acurus electronics, and I'd recommend you audition them. I took three of my non-audiophile but music loving friends to my dealer to hear various combinations of elec... | |
| Sony 900ES SACD sound vs CD - Help The Sony sampler, overall, is not that great for showing what SACD can do. If you like their music, try to get the dmp sampler, which has all DSD recordings instead of older analog masters from CBS/Columbia. In addition, check out the must-have SA... | |
| Multi-channel Sony SACD player Tmartinjr's point on mixing equipment is a very good one. A friend of mine is a Telarc recording artist, and told me that while Telarc felt the DSD master tapes of his recordings were superior to their prior equipment, they initially were not happ... |
