I never did get round to buying that unit. By the time I'd gotten my act together, it had been sold. . . .

ive been told yes its in perfect working order, price would seem low compared to what i have seen. however im don't have the energy to travel to the other side of the country to have a look, so i think i'll concentrate on the amp, dac upgrades, and new speaker cable.

I just purchased a furutech rd2, quite amazed at the results, like a fog lifted from the sound.
Without getting too technical, please! can someone tell me how this unit operates? I.e. How it affects the cd itself to produce a cleaner sound ??
cheers, nick

gryfon, ive seen a forsell here for 2500 usd, is that price acceptable u think ?

panamahat October 19, 2005 12:06

i will be sending the dac back to mike elliott for upgrades, probably early next year..

auditioned the ml 28 and 29. Gryfon your right, there was a lot missing.

cd players guys, whats known about the forsell air bearing reference mark II ?

panamahat October 17, 2005 20:25

furthermore..... any thoughts on the ml 28 preamp to replace the bryston ?

ok thanks everyone, I am keeping my counterpoints. i've been in contact with michael elliott and ordering a new transformer and some other upgrades.....

mmmm ok, thanks a lot frafra, i didnt know that. I may have a look into repairing it and if thats feasible, i'll do it. But otherwise, what amps would have the musicality of my current ? I did have an SA2000 preamp, but it got ditched, transformer failed - again. I know of 3 counterpoint amps here in switzerland that have suffered transformer meltdowns, shame really.

System edited: I'm considering replacing the Bryston preamp and Counterpoint Power amplifier ( the one that's still working ) with Mark Levinson 28 and 29 ....i'd appreciate any opinions on this route...

hi jayric, thanks for the info.
I am hoping to get a pair of KS3035 here on audiogon, which I will complete my speaker cable needs.
La Boite Noire Power Conditioner will be upgraded in the near future by LBN to Reference Standard. I havent seen any Shunyata or R Gray products here in Switzerland, would like to do so however...

System edited: Yeh one of my power amps suffered a catastrophic failure today... I'm now in the market for new/used mono blocks and I'm budgeting for approx. 2500-3000 usd for the pair- Any suggestions as to what units would sit well in my set-up ? regards
