Quality of Sony SACD players as CD transports
What is the difference between Sony SCD777ES and the XA777ES?? Thanks!! 
Solid state amps under 1000
I used to have the Aragon 8008BB which is their top of the line model before getting my MF A3cr. The Aragon certainly had much more muscle, but paled in comparison when it came to musicality, transparency, detail and depth of image. Other than the... 
Levinson 331 or Pass X150 or Plinius SA-100 ??????
Ok, thanks for the responses so far. Can any of the "bargain" amps such as Mccormack DNA 225, Odyssey stratos, Marsh 400 hold a candle to these amps? 
Inexpensive Philips cdm-12 drive transport

Parasound or McCormack Transport?
Also, I would like to add the sonic frontiers SFT-1 
Integrated Amp. for Platinum Solos?
Well it looks like we are in the same boat just about, because I may be looking for a new amp to tide me over till I get a levinson. I have been researching for a while and have narrowed it down to the following in this price range of $1000-$1500:... 
Integrated Amp. for Platinum Solos?
I own the solos and just purchased a Musical Fidelity A3cr amp to drive them. I can say that the musicality of this amp...transparency etc. Far exceeding its cost. This sounds so magical and images great. However, for these speakers, I just dont t... 
Musical Fidelity A3cr Power Amp ?Break-in Period?
Thanks for your replys......I know the A3cr is supposed to be very smooth, that is why the grain is really worrying me. Could it be that the amp is so transparent that it is revealing the faults with my digital?? I dont have the 18B yet, but am ho... 
Musical Fidelity A3cr Power Amp ?Break-in Period?
What is the best way to break it in? Do the speakers need to be connected to break it in? I can run my tuner to the thing all day if I need to, but if the speakers have to be connected, I will have to keep the volume down. 
Powering ProAc Response 2.5's
A friend of mine, which I designed his system, has the proac 2.5s and is driving them with a Pass aleph 3 at 30 watts!! These are ez speakers to drive. The MF will have plenty of gas---I have the MF and they are driving very difficult speakers wit... 
Used DAC or Used CD Player???
I think my issue now is...I can get the monarchy 18B with the DIP for less than $500 total. Would this investment be worth it? Would this combo sound as good as the rega planet or jupiter or any other $1500 player??I am trying to cheap out right n... 
Musical Fidelity A3cr Owners--Help
My cables are perfect--so I know it is not them. All connections are meticulously checked over, so I know it is not that either.thanks for the tip though. 
Krell vs Levinson vs Pass vs Rowland
I am guessing $28,000 and $18,000 is just a little more than I can afford. Or would want to spend on an amp, even if I could afford it!!Thanks 
Krell vs Levinson vs Pass vs Rowland
I have not heard krell and any tube pre. I have heard the krell fpb300 (and an all krell set-up) through my speakers and loved the sound, as well as I heard the 334 through my speakers and loved the sound also. The problem is I heard both set-ups ... 
Krell vs Levinson vs Pass vs Rowland
I think I should clarify my system: The speakers I am running are power hungry Platinum Solos-these will not change. I have a temporary preamp (classe cp-35) which I intend on replacing with a tubed preamp such as a hovland hp-100, or sonic fronti...
