| Transparent Audio cables I have owned the Supers and have auditioned the Ultras. I own the Reference cables now (speaker and interconnects). I have compared them to MIT and found the two to be quite different as someone said above. I love my Reference cables and am done w... | |
| CD Player - Amp Direct Resolution Audio CD players including their new Opus 21. Very fine. | |
| Best Small Efficient Speaker for Office or Sm Room NHT. You can pick up some nice NHT's for very reasonable price (used). However, I would go for a fuller range NHT than the Superzeros. I own a pair of Superzeros and would not put them in my office. I also own B&W N802's and have run smaller B... | |
| Bridging Bryston 3B-STs a few questions I do not have first hand knowledge in this, but I agree with Karls. I once emailed Bryston and asked about bridging two 4Bst amps. They said bridging is not a problem. However, running a higher powered stereo bryston amp (the 14Bst)or two 7Bst's w... | |
| Really need Amp advice. What is your source? Any possibility that some of your problems stem from it? In my experience, it all starts there. | |
| Need advice for CDP selection The Opus 21 can run directly into your FPB 350MC's and the HTS can run directly into your Opus 21 if the HTS has a digital output. If not, you would have to buy an Analogue to Digital converter which range in price from $50.-$3000. This set up ell... | |
| Need advice for CDP selection I have Krell FPB 200c and B&WN802 and recently chose the Resolution Audio Opus 21 after auditioning many and some on your list. My second place finisher is also NOT on your list. It was the very fine Ayre CX-7. It too had a very detailed and r... | |
| Standard Def Reception on an HDTV set I'd stick with your xbr for a while longer. ditto on above threads. | |
| CD Player with volume or preamp I have auditioned the Wadia 301, the Ayre cx7 and ended up buying the Resolution Audio Opus 21. It is the best in that price range IMHO. The Ayre does not have volume capability. I don't think the Opus 21 is a passive volume control and I can rare... | |
| Need help choosing new CD player I recommend the Resolution Audio Opus 21. It is $3,000 but I think it is the best in its price range. I auditioned many over a span of several months. It actually is a two box set up with the one box being an outboard power supply. It is very very... | |
| Should I upgrade my Krell FPB 200c to cx300? Thank you all. I appreciate your help. To answer some of the questions listed above, I currently use no preamp. I am running the new Resolution Audio Opus 21 balanced direct to the fpb 200c. I had the KRC-3 and it did a fine job. But the direct ro... | |
| Linn Ikemi CD Player vs. Other Lower Cost Options I have never seriously auditioned Linn players so take this for what it's worth... I have auditioned several players including the Wadia 301, the Naim, the Sim Moon Eclipse, the new Ayre cx7, and the Resolution Audio Opus 21. I finally decided on ... | |
| AYRE CD7 I have listened and auditioned the new Ayre player carefully. I also listened to the new $3600 Wadia 301, the $4250 Naim, the Sim Moon Eclipse, and the new Resolution Audio Opus 21. The Ayre CX-7 came in second. I think it is a great player for th... | |
| Good one-box CDP or good DAC? I know this is above your price range, but I would recommend an audition with the Resolution Audio Opus 21 ($3,000). I chose it after carefully auditioning the Wadia 301, the Ayre CX-7, also compared the Naim, the Krell, and the Sim Eclipse. I pre... | |
| Using A/V receiver as pre-amp? Don't skimp on your preamp. It's more important to the sound than a newbie would first expect. You might consider buying an old but very good 2 channel preamp which has depreciated to a stable plataeu and could be resold later for near your purcha... |
