| Levinson 360 vs Benchmark Went through the same issues with Madrigal regarding repairs for my ML #333 and #37. The worst thing was that all I needed was a simple recalibration for the transport, and ML had issued a technical bulletin earlier to all its dealers on how to re... | |
| SME V aftermarket cable? I used the stock cable for a while, switched to Cardas, too sweet, and not much highs. I had then switched to Graham IC-70. It was much better than the Cardas.I had purchased a Furutech cable, it's got really good reviews, but it might not work as... | |
| CD Ripping software Alex,Thanks! I had done some .wav vs. FLAC comparison on my Cowan portable player (a sonically auperior alternative to iPod) a few years ago using several different earphones ranging from Shure SE530 to Sennheiser HD 650. I was trying to determine... | |
| MSB M202 compared to Pass XA.5 I had heard them this past summer at the Audio Show here in Northern California. I recalled that the overall sound was actually pretty decent, definitely worth auditioning. They look like circular version of the Aleph 2s with heat sinks all around... | |
| Upgrading Fuses Just a thought, what if you just try the regular generic ceramic fuses? You can get these at your local Radio Shack or Fry's for like a buck (or two). I think I will stop by there and grab some tonight.FrankC | |
| Help understanding the new Stillpoints products I share the same sentiment as Mezmo. I had been looking to try some expensive footers under my Verity Parsifal Encores. I have been using BDR cones in place of stock brass footers. My friends use Finite Elemente Cerabase and swears by them. So the... | |
| The Mechanic He must have sold it on Agon before the explosion and was waiting for his new upgrade to be delivered by UPS.....Seem to be a popular thing to include vinyl in movies these days. What's the most expensive high-end system you've seen in the movies?... | |
| What is the best A/V Receiver out there? Why not link your video signal directly from your cable box to your TV and bypass another processor?The Anthem is good, but will be more expensive.I had 3 of the higher end Yamaha receivers. The first one is still working, but the two subsequent u... | |
| PASS LABS INT-150 or X-250 with X-1 My comments were meant to touch on the subject of how different the X .5 series is from the non .5 series. The comments I made for the X350.5 vs. X350 should also apply to X250.5 vs. X250.There are just as many people that will say that X250.5 is ... | |
| PASS LABS INT-150 or X-250 with X-1 Zeebee,I don't think you realized that the X .5 sounds a bit differently than the older X series. I also have the X350.5. Prior to purchasing mine, I had heard one in a friend's system in a side-by-side comparison against a X350. The original 350 ... | |

| Preamp Recommendation for Pass Aleph Amp Seabreeze,I'm a long time owner of an Aleph Os. This amp had been driving a pair of Unity Audio Signature 1s in my second system until my son was born 7 years ago, and my wife "confiscated" the room and turned it into his bedroom. Whatever got ret... | |
| Amps that can Rival A Levinson No. 332 around 3K? No. The 33x series had a well-known issue of capacitors failing. Per my discussion with the repair techs, the design was driving the original caps hard. They had switched suppliers and the new caps were supposed to be more robust. The caps typical... | |
| Amps that can Rival A Levinson No. 332 around 3K? Had the same experience as Jeffb28451 living with a ML333 for 8 years. Mine went back twice. Then I found out from the tech that it had actually been serviced one more time when the dealer was it as a demo. It will cost around $1200 to fix. I have... |
