Hi,   I was wondering if anyone would happen to have someone to recommend in Paris for a pair of custom molds / sleeves on XBA-H3.   ACS seem to have people, but Sony isn't listed as something their design supports.

bummer. would have loved to use it on both a disc transport and an airport express

i quickly scanned through the thread, but i couldn't find a rundown of the features anywhere - for one, is it possible to switch sources ?

i'm not sure wether this belongs in the amp or the source section, but the sugden remote also controls naim CDP's... the only thing that's lacking is "display" key support, which toggles between track number and time display... (and yes, i know i should probably be using the naim headline...)

have you tried equalizing the masses between the components by taking some cable (cinch works fine...) and touching a conductive part of each while keeping one tip in contact with the sugden's frame ? (this solved my initial sugden humming problem...)

may i suggest a look at this ?

another, although possibly more expensive possibility, may be audionote's zero series, which i believe haven't been suggested yet... and since you haven't defined the value of X for your equation yet... you'll find more info and product shots here .

buy it. put it in storage until you find a nice place to get chicks with it.

picked up my headmaster today. it got lost in the mail on its way to my friendly neighbourhood dope-pusher. took some time to listen to some sources as well. i'm a bit torn between getting a naim cd5, new, or a cdx, used, for an extra 10% and the risk of trusting an audiogon-er with no track...

oh, btw, here's some of my stuff...

Quote: Originally posted by Gergor Is there any Linn player in the same price range as the CDmaster? I did consider Naim CD5, it's very attractive being a Stereophile class A component at this price range. However, the DIN connector and its lack of digital out kind of turn me off. The...

there was a thread you might want to check out here , as the subject matter is pretty similar... i'd like to add the flatfish or the shigaraki from 47 labs... haven't heard either, but the looks just make me drool... wonder if the pi tracer would fit the bill, as well...

for what it's worth, although the mix is aestetically pleasing, i was underwhelmed by the sugden cdmaster...

thanks to everybody for the input... i played with the headmaster this afternoon, and i thought, although nothing amazingly new came out of it, it might be of interest to someone or the other on here... i quickly ran it through a series of different sources, from an ipod to a sondek cd-12...

hi all... i'm a newbie here, to the general world of hi-fi, and i'm trying to get around to what the worthwile kit is... i've been offered some nice rebates on job gear (www.jobsys.com), and am looking at buying what is basically toned-down goldmund kit. none of their amps, or pre's, comes...
