| Anyone heard the Nordost Odin cables ? I have a system with Nordost Valhalla all the way (IC, spkr, AC). 4 weeks ago I upgraded the Interconnect from CD (Burmester 069) to pre (Burmester 077) with Nordost Odin. The improvement was huge! Much more than I ever had expected.Last week I up... | |
| The best no-compromise digital options? A comment on SACD players. Myself I prefer Accuphase gear over Esoteric and would have added the 800/801 combo to that list. | |
| The best no-compromise digital options? Someone referred to the Modwright Transporter. I have had this in my system almost a year and with upgraded tubes. It has played side by side with Burmester 069 and Accuphase DP-700. The Modwright could not at all compete with these two players. W... | |
| Best preamp for my system. You should give the Burmester 077 a listen. An incredible preamp! | |
| Burmester and MBL I have had the Burmester 001/011 combo before I stepped up to 069/077. I auditioned MBL Noble Line before getting the 001 & 011. I found Burmester to be much more musical. | |
| Burmester and MBL To put it short, I have auditioned both lines and I ended up with Burmester gear (069 ref cd and 077 ref pre so far). I find Burmester more analog and liquid/fuller sounding than MBL electronics. MBL is dryer and more clinical, works excellent wit... | |
| Tubes OR solid state for Sonus Faber Cremona Audit I had Bryston for my SF Cremona Audio in a secondary system, replaced it with Accuphase. Accuphase is a lot better with SF! I have also tried Jeff Rowland and Cary gear with SF. I would recommend Accuphase! There are a lot of others also who think... | |
| Rowland Continuum 500, RCA vs. XLR Definately. I also have the Continuum 500 and you will benefit from using the XLR. Jeffs products are truely balanced and you will get lower noise floor and more resolution. | |
| Calling Aerial 20T owners Congrats with some wonderful speakers! I have lived with my 20Ts now in two years and absolutely love them. They definately deserve great gear and some powerful amps!I have tried (and lived with) the following amps on mye 20Ts in this order:* Jeff... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre So are the batteries already implemented in the current 2-chassis Criterion? | |
| Big Karan amps Dev, I contacted a Karan dealer in Norway where I live, but he hasn't even contacted me back or followed up my interest... Meanwhile, I experienced that all Nordost cabling in my system has transformed the sound to a new and unbelievable level. I ... | |
| Big Karan amps Mmike,I have 20T v1 and one pair of 301s. The 301s have double binding posts and I use two sets of speaker cables. I thought you had Ayre MXR amps. Have you replaced them with the Rowland 304? | |

| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Valhalla is the best cable I have had in my system with 301 monos. The trick was to have Valhalla all the way. When I had Valhalla only partly in the chain, the sound was too bright and edgy, but all Valhalla has made my 301 shine as absolutely fa... | |
| Big Karan amps Bvdiman,yes I agree with your thoughts. I have recently invested heavily in Burmester reference gear, both the 069 cd and 077 pre, and have no plans of replacing them. They are truely wonderful sounding! Nordost is also preferred brand for Burmest... |
