Review: Emm Labs DCC2 DA converter
Tim,you really ought to keep your opinions to yourself. In all honesty, I can't imagine that you 'enjoy the music' with that setup anyway. Just stick to tires, would you?Your pal,Brian 
Eggleston Andra 2 with Tenor or Lamm ???
I have the Eggleston Andra (not Mk II) and used the Tenor 75's for about 3 weeks (thanks Frankie you meathead!) Overall, the sound was magical but the bass was loose and there was not enough of it (I am not a bass hound either). Unless the Andra 2... 
Mephisto II, Sim Moon Eclipse How do they compare?

Mephisto II, Sim Moon Eclipse How do they compare?
HIfigator,I would go with the PSX if you find a good deal. But dont let it keep you from getting the Sim. Jump on one if you see another deal like the last. Watch out for chucklehead Frank- he is really opinionated and has bose all over the house.... 
Mephisto II, Sim Moon Eclipse How do they compare?
Hifigator,The power supply does make a difference- a slightly tighter, fuller sound. However,I'm not so sure the soundstaging is quite as open with the PSX and HDCD chip removed. I think the way to go is buy an older version with the standard powe... 
Mephisto II, Sim Moon Eclipse How do they compare?
Hifigator,on the sim- try to find one with the HDCD chip (older version) for around $2400-2700, the new one for $3400 or so. I'm not sure if the upgrade is significantly different sonically as I have owned both. The older one requires a single 75o... 
Best Bike to ride before a good listening session
Truthrider- love your rig. Been through many full suspension rigs- jamis dakar, khs, GT LTS, I-Drive, rode my buddy's Turner and a newer Foes too (all CC big hit bikes, not the overweight downhill ones. Rode a demo seven in tahoe last summer and I... 
Mephisto II, Sim Moon Eclipse How do they compare?
Hifigator,I think you have two fine choices there. I currently have the latest Sim Moon Eclipse. In my sytem the Sim bested the Accuphase DP65V, Wadia 850 and Audio Aero Cap Mk II. I have not heard the Mephisto but based on others comments, (lakef... 
Pre- / Amp for Eggleston ROSA
Kameron,I bought some Andra's a few months ago and have them paired with a Hovland HP100 preamp and Krell FPB600. The Egglestons do seem to need that big power and like RX8man said, the Krell sounds fantastic here. I was an avid tube lover and too... 
Review: Emm Labs DCC2 DA converter
Timo,Dont let Fmpnd kid you. He is a pornstar and his stage name I'm sure you know- Seymore Butts. That is why he can afford all that gear. And he doesn't ever move those 600 plus pound speakers, I do. Why? Because I am his cabana boy. Sometimes y... 
How to bypass the HDCD chip on Moon Eclipse cd .
Arik,The digital output of the Eclipse is 6db louder than the standard output through the HDCD chip. If you do not hear a difference between the two, then something is not right. What that something is, I'm not sure. Remember that when you have a ...

Arik, You need to press the Digital input button on the front panel when your cable is hooked up. when the HDCD chip is bypassed, there will be a little red light above the digital input writing on the front panel dispaly. the volume will increase...

Proy,I have the Harmonix SLC speaker cables in my system- Eggleston Andras, Krell FPB600, Hovland HP100 with MC phono, Sim Audio Moon Eclipse CDP, VPI Scout JMW9 with Transfiguration Spirit Mk3 MC, Ic's are all Transparent Ref with XL, phono cable... 
Moon Nova or Eclipse?
My two cents is that if you can afford the Eclipse (used around $2500.00), you won't be disappointed. In my system, it bested the Wadia 850, Audio Aero Cap mk 2, and most recently, the Krell SACD standard (not sure what Fremer and Valin heard when... 
Who out there knows about Audio Research Pre's???
My two cents:I have an LS2B mk2. Used for $750.00 on audiogon and is a terrific value. the amp is a music reference rm 200, audio aero 24/192 mk2 cd player, vpi scout tt, pass labs xono phono, audio physic virgos, nordost spm, quattro fil and silv...
