Eggleston Andra IIIs at CES
Kurt_tank,Yes the backs of my Andra II are 48 inches from the front wall. I found this gives me the best combination of sound. I'm still adjusting the toe-in. It seems impossible to get a setting that works for all my music especially the compress... 
Accuphase DV60 or modded Oppo BDP-83?
Glen,I think if you get the Oppo BDP-83 with Modwright MOD, you should be all set. Further upgrade will NOT be good ROI IMHO.I agree with Rakuennow on transports ... the transport is always the 1st to go in all my players. Currently I have a MW Tr... 
Eggleston Andra IIIs at CES
Vx700, since the Andra III are ported, have you experimented with placement distances from the front wall? I have the Andra IIs and I prefer the sound farther from the front wall (48") ... cleaner bass, more depth, 3D, air ... EW recommends 24" an... 
Modwright vs EVS vs RAM vs ASI-Tek, OPPO BDP83
Agree Magnumpi205. Dan has he own line of highly acclaim components so he knows his stuff. Like I said, I'm sure all the mods will be a major upgrade to stock but going with Dan mainly from positive past experience. Lately I've been very adventuri... 
Modwright vs EVS vs RAM vs ASI-Tek, OPPO BDP83
I've only found positive customer experiences with all the different mods in the market so it appears I can't go wrong with any of them.Since I have experiences with ModWright (Transporter), I'll probably go with them when it's available. I contac... 
Stereovox XV2 vs Zu Audio Ash MK II
Mooglie, I just discovered Stereovox has a XV2 replacement, the XV Ultra. Since I was happy with the XV2 and familiar with the sound, I plan to try to XV Ultra. As far as ASI Liveline, I'll try their spkr cable.Kenobi, there are so many cables in ... 
Stereovox XV2 vs Zu Audio Ash MK II
Rich,Your post is very informative and interesting ... Thank you.I had a Benchmark DAC1 (with the PCX XLR mod) but not the Bel Canto ... your analogy is understood :-)I've decided to go with ASI Liveline. Srajan tells me it's worth a try ... it re... 
Stereovox XV2 vs Zu Audio Ash MK II
Mooglie,Very interesting Zu is warmer than the Stereovox. From my experience Zu is very unforgiving, totally revealing and reason the Zu Varials are a good match for my all tube system.I found some very interesting reviews on the Nirvana Transmiss... 
Integrated amp for Eggleston Andra II
Tympani,I haven't heard the latest Classe but was never a fan of their sound. I have many friends that owns them so it was strictly a personal taste issue.Ps68,I'll check out ASR Emitter when I want to simplify my all tube system. Just spent $3000... 
Integrated amp for Eggleston Andra II
Jprice,Can you give me a brief comparison between the Rowland Continuum 500 and Gamut with the Andra IIs? I assume the Gamut probably sounds similar to your Spectral and the Rowland a bit warmer.Thanks! 
Integrated amp for Eggleston Andra II
Fjn04,My budget for an integrated is ~5K and for mono SS amp is ~10K.I read several reviews on the Bryston 28B SST and I think it might be just what I'm looking for. It doesn't required to be continuous on 24/7 and it takes ~1 hour of warm up to a... 
Integrated amp for Eggleston Andra II
I had a Krell FPB600 and it was excellent with the Andra. I decided to keep only 1 amp and sold it. In hindsight it was a big mistake.To get the best sound from the Krell, I had to leave it on 24/7 so it gets very hot just in idle. ... and yes the... 
Eggleston Andra IIIs at CES
Vx700,Are you familiar with the Andra IIs? I have the Andra IIs and interested to hear the differences between the II and IIIs.
