| NetFlix long Waiting time Bigwave,You're right about the condition. On several occassions I had to take a disc out of the player and wipe it in the hope of getting it to play properly. However, considering how many discs I played, this didn't happen too often.I did however... | |
| which powercord? jps,esp,shunyata....? Thanks, Dekay. It seems that the Whales are very popular here. Like you, I can get by with a shorter 6' cord, but 8' would look better. Have you compared the Whale to the Eel? I've been told they're also very good.Thanks too to Lak and Stealth for... | |
| which powercord? jps,esp,shunyata....? Dekay,Are you using the BMI Whale PC with an EMC-1 CDP? I just bought one and am looking for a PC to go with it. I'm concerned though that the Whale might be a bit too heavy & stiff for my application. Is the Whale flexible enough to make a ri... | |
| NetFlix long Waiting time Cyrus,My experience with Netflix was the same as yours. I had a queue that contained 50 discs, but the only ones that were available were old 1980's vintage movies. All the current releases were long waits. As a result, I ended up cancelling my me... | |
| Power cords - snake oil? Since there are so many different power cords to choose from, and the fact that they're system dependent, is there someplace that allows you to return a cord if you don't like it's sound in your system? Or is it all a big crapshoot? Things can get... | |
| Sony ES777 SACD vs EMC-1 Interesting replies. I'd like to ask Ljgj and Tomp what it is about the EMC-1 that you prefer? And am I correct in assuming that you not only prefer it on redbook CD's, but actually prefer it over the Sony's SACD performance?I'm not sure that's wh... | |
| Levinson 380S or Hovland 100? Thanks, Doug. Someone else suggested a Melos also. I'm not familiar with this brand since I don't recall reading any articles or reviews. I'll do a little research and see what I come up with.In my mind I've been going back and forth between the B... | |
| Levinson 380S or Hovland 100? Classicjazz,May I ask which Levinson you wound up with? With all your experience, you must have had a particular reason for going with the Levinson. | |
| MGD Classic Chameleon Loudspeakers I had the great pleasure to listen to Tom's system last week, and after careful consideration, I think it was even better than Tom states. While it seemed a little bright, the system is still breaking in and is expected to mellow some. However, I'... | |
| Levinson 380S or Hovland 100? Paul,Thanks for your input. The guy I bought the SACD player from is a big BAT fan. In fact he sold the 777ES to pick up a BAT CDP. I'm going to contact him for his opinion.I think the VK50SE might be a little outside of my price range though. I w... | |
| DAC or Upgraded Analogue in SACD units? Rcprince,When you say you would put the Sony SCD-1 in the same ballpark as the Wadia 850/860, I'm assuming you're comparing redbook CD to CD, right? You're not comparing SACD to the Wadia CD playback are you?The reason I'm asking is I've considere... |
