Audible Illusions Modulus 3 and Rogue M-120 Okay?
I had a pair of Rogue M-120's and had mated them with an AI Mod 3a. It was a superb combination. I haven't heard the Mod 3 but I understand it was a bit darker sounding than the Mod 3a. My Rogue's originally had Sovtek KT-88 power tubes and they s... 
Bel Canto DAC2 vs. DAC1/1.1?
I’ve never listened to the Bel Canto 1.1 or any Wadia player so I can’t comment on those but I do have a Bel Canto DAC2 and really like it. In my system, the DAC2 is full-bodied and quite detailed without sounding edgy or grating. The music has a ... 
problem with oracle alexandria turntable
It's possible that the subchassis on your turntable has warped. This happened to me and has happened to others from what I've read on Audioasylum. My subchassis was constructed of aluminum and apparently can bend quite easily under the weight of t... 
Best Amp for Audible Illusions 3A tube or SS
I agree with Truman. The AI and Belles combo is very good. The first high end rig I ever listened to was a Belles "One" amp and an original AI Modulus preamp. That combo showed me just what a good audio system can do and I've been interested in hi... 
Any experience of Planet 2000 with Bel Canto DAC2?
Lrmelon:I'd like to hear your impressions of your DAC2. How's it working out for you? 
tara labs time and space.....
I have been using a pair of these cables in my high end system for over 10 years and I feel that these cables are very good in the absolute, and are an amazing value for the cost. In my system, they have great speed, clarity, dynamics, bass, and d... 
Reasonable tube phono stage for Oracle Alexandria?
I posted the same question a week or so ago over on audioasylum. I also have an Alexandria/MMT rig. The response I received on Audioasylum is the same as the responses your question received here. Basically, the arm is a good match for the 'table ... 
Oracle turn table
I agree with Newbee. I have an Alexandria with a Sumiko MMT arm and it is a very good rig indeed, especially for the cash outlay. It has remained a constant in my system every since I bought it back in 1986 and is the one component that I haven't ... 
Any experience of Planet 2000 with Bel Canto DAC2?
I had paired a Bel Canto DAC2 with an Audio Refinement CD Complete CD player and found the upgrade to be quite substantial. So I would suspect that you will also notice a significant upgrade in sound simply by adding the DAC2. I later replaced the... 
Oracle Alexandria Question
I have had an Oracle Alexandria table and a Sumiko MMT arm for many years and have been very happy with the combo. I recently had it tuned up by my dealer with new suspension parts, lubrication, belt, etc. Brand new parts kits are available from O... 
opinions on audio refinement cd complete
I have had an Audio Refinement Complete CD player for about 9 months now and I have found it to be a very good player overall at its price point. It doesn't have a ton of detail compared to much more costly players but it is musical and very easy ...
