Anyone solved MF Tri Vista SACD problems?
Hi out there.I posted on this thread way back in 02-15-10 to ask if anyone knew if there was a way to "fix" the MF SACD by splicing into the internals so as to be able to use an external transport???All of the posts after that seemed to concentrat... 
Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player
Mohit25. I have the 5400 with Modwright mods - absolutely fantastic. I asked if they could modify it to 240v (for Australia) but they said no. I had the tube power supply built to 240v and for now I am just using a 110-240v transformer. I am sure ...

Crawl over broken glass to get hold of a Sony XA5400ES SACD and then have it upgraded by Modwright. Read all the reviews on here and on the Modwright site. Buy for about $1100 and upgrade for $2000 - suggested to be the best SACD/CD under $20,000....

Looking for a tube preamp to pair with CA 840W
Audio Valve Eklipse with NOS tubes is outstanding. See review on here. Stunning build quality and open soundstage. Has been rated above the Conrad Johnson by some reviewers 
Most NEUTRAL class A mono's
Sanders Sounds mono's seem to be very neutral. I am using the ESL Monoblocks for Soundlab M1's and they have enormous power and finess. Very under rated amps - worth a listen. Roger has the Kilowatt Monoblock's for non-ESL speakers. 
subwoofers and panels don't mix
Has anyone experimented with horn subs?I have recently acquired some Soundlab M1's and still have a long way to go to get the total system working properly. One aspect is the bass weight. Soundlabs are reviewed as having very good realistic bass, ... 
good speaker with Sound stage behind????
Hi. Do you like panel type speakers ? I recently had the chance to hear the new Podium .5 speakers by Podium Sound Ltd from the UK. In Slovenia of all places! A brilliant dealer, Peter Mezek, in a business called Pear Audio. He has a website etc. ... 
Pyramid T9 Ribbon Speakers
Hi. If they are the ribbon tweeters that I think they are, they were very high end. A small box, slightly trapozoid type shape. Very heavy rare earth magnets.I am pretty sure that they were used in The Mark Levinson stacked Quads/Decca London supe...
