Anyone solved MF Tri Vista SACD problems?
Davidsarl. Problem is that the transport does not read any discs, it does not even spin them anymore. Nothing happens. Our local dealer asked and MF told that they cannot help anymore. Their only explanation is that those parts (Philips sacd-trans... 
ASR Emitter II vs. Symphonic Line Kraft 300
Ras422. Thanks again for you comment. Is your Kraft 300 the version with XLR input module which converts signal to asymmetrical mode and changes input impedance? That is the way my ASR Emitter works if I use XLR inputs. It is not truely balanced d... 
ASR Emitter II vs. Symphonic Line Kraft 300

Ayon CD-2 or CD-3
I did demo CD-2 in my system few weeks ago. And I have to conclude that it is a great player. I compared it to my Esoteric X-01 D2 and also to ARC CD-7 which I also had that time. AND Gerhard (designer) himself told to my local dealer that CD-2 wi... 
Audio Research Ref: CD8
Number95, when you compared CD7 to CD8 in your system, did you notice that CD8 is better in midbass power, weight and body than CD7? I own CD7 and sometimes I feel this is the only (relatively) weak point in CD7. I think that this little lack of m... 
Esoteric X-01 Limited or Esoteric P-05/D-05 combo?
Buy X-01 D2 and you get most of the technical and sound qualities of P-03/D-03 combo. For me X-01 D2 was (and still is) much better sounding player that X-01 SE.

Speaker cables for Von Schweikert VR5SE
I own VR-7 SE speakers and I really recommend that you use TRUE bi-wire cables with your speakers. I have used many top brands (shunyata, transparent, Tara Labs etc.) with my speakers. At the moment I use Ridge Street Audio Alethias bi-wire cables...

Any experience with the new EMM CDSA SE ?
Is any one of you CDSA SE owners ready to give review of a player which is fully broken in? I would love to know how this player compares to Audio Aero Prestige, which I think is one of the greatest one box players. We don't have EMM LABS distribu... 
Audio Aero Prestiges new transport?
I like to use my Prestige with ARC ref 3 with balanced cables. It gives me fuller sound and better soundstage. 
Audio Aero Prestiges new transport?
Saxman2, please describe sound differences between old and new transport. I quess they changed the motherboard too. 
Audio Aero Prestiges new transport?
I received answer from AA to my questions today. They informed that I have to pay 450 euros + shipping charges for that upgrading process. I quess I will do it anyway. 
Audio Aero Prestiges new transport?
I live in Europe and I have been told that those new transports are out of warranty. They define them as upgrades and we have to pay for them. How much, I don't know yet, because they don't answer my emails and the local distributor is very passiv...
