| Need some advice on Stax sr-lambda earspeakers The following is a copy and paste of some more sr-lambda impressions which I emailed to someone who recently purchased from me my pair of sr-lambda and srd-7 energizer unit (I liked them quite a bit, but have upgrade lust once again)I've never tri... | |
| Upgrades for VPI HW -19 jr.??? First off, let me say that since my last writing (<12 hrs) I have listened to no fewer than 12-14 LP sides. That makes for my longest vinyl listening session ever! This tubed phono preamp combo with my table/arm/cart mentioned above sounded so ... | |
| Upgrades for VPI HW -19 jr.??? Hi againI don't have much time at all to write, but let me recommend to the rest of the hw-19 jr. club a new phono preamp (as an alternative to the excellent Black Cube). Today I borrowed from the deal the Jolida Model JD9 tube phono preamp. So fa... | |
| Upgrades for VPI HW -19 jr.??? Keep in mind that headphone listening (i.e. with dynamic Sennheiser HD600/HD650 or Stax electrostats) will help you enjoy the maximum detail retrieval and transparency that your jr. is capable of, since isolation isn't much of an issue when no bas... | |
| Playing dual layer SACD/CD disc on Sony DVP9000 ES Today I tried the procedure above and it didn't work. Prior to beginning, I bought what I thought was a single layer SACD (Silk Roads, 'When Strangers Meet', Yo-Yo Ma and friends) but when it came time to insert the SACD, it produced the message '... | |
| SACD Player Shootout Curriemt11,Didn't mean to imply negligence, but I don't want to see Denon (or anything at that particular price point) garner any accolades, lest I be tempted astray of my current system plan. Bravo! | |
| Playing dual layer SACD/CD disc on Sony DVP9000 ES I was really stoked to find this thread, having just encountered my first hybrid disk - LET IT BLEED!!! - whose SACD layer will not play on my 9000es.So I've gone through the 15+ SACDs in my collection, and every single one of them is a hybrid! Da... | |
| SACD Player Shootout Another glaring omission would seem to be either the Sony SCD-777es or DVP-s9000es with the VSEI level 5 mod. Considering that the editor/publisher of Positive Feedback gave the VSEI level 4 modded version of the latter of those two the 2004 SACD ... | |
| Experiences with ModWright Sony 999ES Jeff,Ditto the above.Ted | |
| Unidisk SC vs. VSEI modded Sony for SACD? Thanks for the feedback. I've decided to have the 9000es which I currently own modded to level 5 by VSEI. The deal maker for me was the combination of 30-day money back (except for 2-way shipping) guarantee, and especially the ability of vsei mods... | |
| new cd player for $1500.00? vsei (don't know about the other modders) even gives a 30-day money back guarantee. If you don't like the sound of your modded sony, you send it back, they remove the mods and send your machine back in its original state. Only catch is, you have t... | |
| Audiophile Classical cds? By audiophile standards, the CD sound quality of the1976 Karajan series verges on good. I have both the original Deutsche Grammaphon CD release and the remastered SACD release and can definitely recommend the latter, though if you want the ultimat... | |
| Need some advice on Stax sr-lambda earspeakers Ok, I received my sr-lambda and srd-7 today and am taking a short breaking from listening to them in order to leave a couple of impressions. First I should say that my expectations were not very high, given that my solid state bryston b60 integrat... | |
| Need some advice on Stax sr-lambda earspeakers I read a review of the SR-007 (Omega II) which included a comparison of each of the more recent Stax earspeakers to the Sennheiser HD600. If memeory serves, the reviewer thought the Sr-404 phones were rivaled to some extent by the HD600, but that ... | |
| Put a Linn Ekos between my VPI hw19jr. and Glider? Thanks guys for the feedback so far. It's a shame that the TT upgrade path is no longer viable, as you both suggested, given either the lack of new parts availability or the price competition from elite used rigs. I actually enjoyed my hw-19 jr. r... |
