| SPECTRAL 100/DMC 20 preamp comments.... I A/B'd the 20 and 30SL extensivley. The 30SL is a better preamp than the 20: more resolution, better soundstage, quieter. The 30SL is better than the 30, which I previously owned. The 30 was the single box version of the 20. The 30SL is the new, ... | |

| Ear Candy: Most startling recordings. 1. Shelly Manne & Jack Marshall - "Sounds Unheard Of"Acoustic guitar and percussion on Analogue Productions vinyl. 2. Mikey Hart - "Dafos" (whole CD/LP)Unreal percussion and sounds. Eerie kind of stuff. So far outside the speakers it's in your... | |
| SPECTRAL 100/DMC 20 preamp comments.... Give the DMC30 a shot. I think it's better than the DMC20. DMC20 allows you to have an internal phono input.DMA100 is bettered by the DMA150, which has been superceded by the DMA150 series II (one half of the DMC360 monoblocks).MIT cables are the ... | |
| Help: What would be the best price for used Wadia Without sounding flippant, I'd say the best price is the lowest offer that a seller accepts. Lowest price for an 861 I've seen advertised on AGon is $4300. I have one for sale myself at a higher price. Depends on condition, age, feedback on seller... | |

| Feet of Silence Actually, I have a set of these for my SME Model 10 Turntable. Fabulous isolation. The SME 10 has indentations on the bottom platter which helps it couple to the Feet of Silence. Wouldn't use the turntable without them. Haven't tried it on the CDP... | |
| Amati Homage I'd go for the new Spectral DMC30SL + DMA 150 Series II.Awesome combination with the Amati's. It's what I'm listening to right now -- fluid and quick, with soul.MIT Oracle V2 speaker cables mate perfectly with this trio.If you live in the Bay Area... | |

| DVD player with excellent CD quality I have both the Sony 7700 and the Marantz DV-18. The DV-18 is a better unit, both with DVD's and CD's. There is a firmware fix which takes care of the "skipping". It was most noticeable with the Matrix. Fix was applied under warranty. The DV-18 is... |
