Accuphase c3850 VS Cat SL1 Pre
Not even in the same league! 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
I have owned the 777 for over half year. I have tried tube rolling, different BNC to RCA adapters....the improvement is just not significant. Two months ago, I replaced one of the BNC inputs with RCA(Cardas Rhodium) connector. The result is more f... 
Any one here heard the Bmi Oceanic Statement?
FYI, BMI has just intoduced the brand new Piranha Reference 24K power cord. Very close in performance to the big brother Oceanic. Amazing sounding!!! 
Any opinions on the AMR Digital Processor 777 Dac?
Just got mine last Friday and it sounds pretty good out of the box. Left it on overnight and this morning it sounds totally different for the better! Waiting for the 500 hours mark......So far its performance well exceeded my expectation! 
Elrod Statement Silver vs Gold
Yes, but you have to have 60% of the retail price cash ready to be on the list. The CableCo only requires 10%? or less I don't remember. I have a Silver Stmt and pretty happy with it. I am sure the Gold is be better. But I would rather spend the d... 
Calling for inputs on Oritek X-2
Is Oritek still around? 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Plutos, I bought it from original owner. This is a stock unit and has never been modified. Do you know what you were talking about? First you said it was a faulty unit, now you said it was modified. Again, I have never received any emails from you... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Sorry, I know this is off the topic, but I have to clarify this: The Marantz SA1 Player was sold to Plutos Feb 2007 in perfect working condition. After the player was shipped, I have never received any emails from him. If there was anything wrong ... 
Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?
Bobf, thanks for mentioning 'Kiss My Axe'. That was one of my favorite cds. It has been sitting in my cd library(5000) for years. Amazed that the recording is still outstanding. Awaiting my GG Revelation IC from Steve. 
Masrantz Sa-11S1 /w RAM Full upgrade?
I don't really think so. I think they all have their strength and weakness. I was there with Dave when we did the comparison. In fact, I think the stock SA-1 performs really good when compared to the highly modded SCD-1. 
Calling for inputs on Oritek X-2
Thanks. Did you buy new and how much you paid for it? 
Pass Labs 350.5 Vs Classe CA401 Vs Plinuis S102
Thanks all for your inputs. I will definitely check into Pass 350.5. I hardly see one shows up on Audiogon. 
New Pass Labs X.5 series versus previous X series
I had both X250.5 and JC-1 for 3 months driving my Studio. I had such high hope for the JC-1, but shockingly the X250.5 blows it away cold out of the box. Much faster, a lot more extended high end(JC-1' weakest area) , much better defined and cont... 
Review: Pass Labs X350.5 Amplifier
I got my X350.5 on Monday. I just sold the X250.5. Before that I owned X150, X250 and X350. The X250.5 is a great amp, but just not as organic and as the X350.5, and still a bit agressive(much better than the X250) on some system. I have been play... 
New Pass Labs X.5 series versus previous X series
The 250, which employs smaller caps, is a more current design from Pass than the 350, which employs those big caps. Most other amp mfrer like Classe etc. also uses small cap in their current amp design. Smaller caps dissipate current/energy much m...
