| Best power cables for Krell? I misread Brett996's dollar budget for cables. My mistake, the Whale sells between $500 -$700 on Audiogon depending on what length.You may want to check the EEL out in that price range of $200. I also have a pair of EELs running on my subs in the ... | |
| Best power cables for Krell? BMI Whale elite power cables when installed gave the best bass, biggest soundstage and smooth mids & highs. The Whale was the most natural sounding , no coloration or brightness/ | |
| BMI Whale Elite - Construction? Asa-check out my system on Virtual Systems. I have Gryphon Reference Mono 1 amps with Gryphon Elektra preamp. That's what I have the Whales on. The Whale does a heck of a job when it comes to detail and midbass. Not too extended like the EG Fatman... | |
| BMI Whale Elite - Construction? The Whale is a clear A+ both in sound quality results and construction is very impressive. I should know, I have three including a Cobra.I had sold my Fatboy and NBS statement on these criterias.Sugarbrie, what do you own? | |
| New BMI Whale Elite Power Cord I second that Statman. I have 3-Whales myself and they do a heck of a job improving my system. I started of with one, and was impressed. Then a second and a third. I put in a review of the Whale and comparison to the Big boys. I sold off the Big ... | |
| Best professional TEST CD? The Sound Check/Test Gold CDs by MFSL, which have been out of print for years. Good Luck if you can find them. I was lucky and bought them when they first came out years ago. Much more accurate than the Stereophile Test CDs. | |
| power cord I would have to agree with Lak, Dekay, Chriskh and 3chihuahuas about the Whale power cable. I currently have 3-Whales in my system (see my virtual system). In summary the Whale is an outstanding product and the price is great. In considering it to... | |
| Marantz SA-14 People who say the Marantz SA-14 is way better than the SA-1are the ones they can only wish they own the SA-1. The SA-14 is a nice unit, but it's not in the same league as the SA-1. My dealer friend has both on the floor, and I own the SA-1. Sound... | |
| Best CD player under 5000 Marantz SA-1 without question. MSRP is $7500 but street price is about $5000. | |
| Biggest soundstage in a CD Player ? I had the Levinson 39 in my system for 6 months on loaner from a dealer friend ( I do all of his legal work in barter). The Marantz SA-1 as a "CD" player was head and shoulders in everything you want to hear verse the Levisnon 39. In the SACD mode... | |
| Biggest soundstage in a CD Player ? 9fold- you are exacto-correcto sir, and I commend you.People have to realize that without companies like Marantz and Sony, to do the R & D, the hi-end industry (especially digital) would suffer. I don't want to put down the smallUS hi-end comp... | |
| Biggest soundstage in a CD Player ? Lev335, whatever you say. The Marantz SA-1 is just another Marantz CD player. Levinson can only wish they can package a player like SA-1. Sure they can copy the Marantz SA-1 for about $15K. I had the Levisnon 39 in my system for 6 months from my d... | |
| Biggest soundstage in a CD Player ? ps. Check my previous threads for reasons why the Marantz SA-1 is possibly the world's best natural sounding player. | |
| Biggest soundstage in a CD Player ? The Marantz SA-1 SACD/CD player. A clear cut winner over Wadia product and Levinson. | |
| SCD-1 can be purchased at 2850 new. Tommart, that is true the Marantz SA-1 is discontinued in production. That was there statement piece, and believe it or not -Japanese companies don't make any money with these type of pieces. It's all for show, and this is what we can do , is ther... |
