Audiomeca Enkianthus.X DAC...Anagram mkII
JazzdudeThe new chip can be installed in old models, I know because I have done it. In fact if you look up on tnt-audio Geoff Husband describes doing exactly that in his review of the ekianthus. With regards to the new module, as I recall (but can... 
Kharma, Wilson Sophia, JM Labs I'm confussed????
Dear Sea2The system sounds quite nice and the components well chosen. You have given most information but what type of music do you listen to? Have you attended to thinks like dedicated lines and any room acoustics changes made? Finally is there a... 
Power cord recmd. sought for Audiomeca Enkianthus
StewartI have used the ekianthus for the past 3 years and upgraded it to the x version (new chip). I use the audiotekne power cord which is very flexible and also keep me system suspended. This works very well and was much better than stock. I fou... 
CD Cutting and / or Trimming
I would add I have used the lathe for some time. We have demoed it with a number of friends blind (for what thats worth) and in every case, the lathed disc was preserved. I don't believe you can lathe an sacd however. It is not inexpensive. If you... 
New Metronome Kalista CD Transport
Rx8manI agree about the music reviews, they have really led me to some great finds in beautiful music, both new and old. It is well worth looking over.Gary 
Audiomeca Enkianthus DAC problem
Dear Meta:It is hard to know what is going on. It sounds like a break in signal from the transport is in someway messing up the dac. I have had the ekianthus for almost 4 years and upgraded the chip to the new model and have never had any problems... 
New Metronome Kalista CD Transport
I saw the review too. I seemed very good and is very pretty but very expensive. If you partnered it with a dac that would be huge dollars. Never the less its worth seeing the extremes. By the way, I find the magazine a very good oneGary 
Best way to spend my income tax refund
I shouldn't comment on how you save your money, you sound like you have given it some thought. Having said that while vinyl is very rewarding it has a fair number of startups and you don't have any software, so factor that in when you are making t... 
Help with Scaler / Line doubler for HT setup
I am only so knowledgable on the subject but would agree with the post regarding avsforum. It is very attuned to this sort of thing. One option is a home theater pc which would do what a dvd and scaler do, but it has its downsides (technical exper... 
SS Amps for Piega
DEar JohnI have had the p9ltd and now have the c8ltd. I run solid state and not, if you will, as high end amps as dave. I use the musical fidelity nuvista m3 integrated and the amp has worked very well with both. Well enough in fact that I have fe... 
Best available Tube Dac around 3k
Though not a tube dac, the audiomeca mephisto X is a smooth as almost anything out there and I would give it a listen too. Hope this is not to off topic. If you have any questions drop me a note 
Building a HT/2channel system around Piega P10's?
AcroporaIts an interesting question. I have piega multichannel and two channel systems. I am using lexicon amp and preamp (mc-8)which do come up on audiogon not infrequently at pretty good prices. They are quite musical and easy to use, even for a... 
A personal challenge
Dear JeffCongradulations it is a great thing to do and the best thing you can ever do for your health. I am kind of on the opposite side of the coin, I am a thoracic surgeon who operates on patients with lung cancer. Almost all is smoking or secon...
