| Your thoughts on J. Atkinsons Chord DAC review...? I have yet to receive my copy of the July issue, so I can't really comment at this time. From the posts thus far, it would appear that JA truly did a number on the DAC64. I'm rather disappointed, since I've been waiting at least three months for h... | |
| Burmester 001, comment please? After I posted, I found several websites, including the Burmester site, in which reference was made to belt-drive on the 001. So it appears that HP's statement to the contrary may be incorrect.Can anyone confirm, from actual experience, that it is... | |
| Burmester 001, comment please? I was encouraged when I read HP's piece in which he mentioned the 001 as a possible "poor man's" Burmester. I even inquired, through a friend whose son lives in Germany, about the possibility of buying one at less cost in Germany. I learned that n... | |
| Transport - will it really make an improvement I don't have the luxury of being able to audition lots of gear before purchase, so I must rely to a great extent on magazine/ezine reviews. TAS has been a good source for many years, and although HP is highly opinionated, I trust his words more th... | |

| Latest SACD News - Very Interesting. Correction: I realized as soon as I posted the previous message that I should have said "Blumlein", not "Blunheim", in reference to the mike technique. Please excuse. (I suppose this was a symptom of my absolute lack of interest in, even my disdai... | |
| Latest SACD News - Very Interesting. Interesting. Especially in that I've been thinking about the same eventuality. I remember what happened to LPs when CDs came out: shops found they could put much more inventory in less space, so gradually---and suddenly, in some cases---there were... | |
| Chord 64dac I tried to post earlier but for some reason it didn't go through.The DAC64 I'm now using (Ser. No. 5100) is actually my second, since we (the dealer, the Chord rep., and I) discovered a defect in the first one (Ser. No. 5063). Not to belabor the p... | |
| Chord 64dac Chris--I didn't try anything else, since, as I said, all other DACs appear to use the same up- or over-sampling devices. I'm sure I'll get an argument on this score, but that's my feeling.As for trying other components, I'd like to know how this r... | |
| Chord 64dac Barry---I'm delighted that you agree with me, and for the same reasons.I had just about given up on CDs, and still find very little of interest in available SACDs or DVD-As. If those formats are successful, the situation should change for the bett... | |
| Chord 64dac I have a Chord DAC64, in conjunction with a CEC TL1X, and couldn't be happier (except perhaps with a Burmester combo!)This is my first experience with separate transport/dac combinations, having replaced a Wadia 830. I only know that I've gotten r... | |
| Chord DAC 64 Just an update on the DAC64/CEC combo. I found that my Chord unit I had was defective.I hadn't mentioned this before, but when I first bought the DAC64, I tried to use it with a Rotel RCD950 that I had kept after buying a Wadia coupla years ago. A... | |
| Chord DAC 64 Just a word of caution, not directed at the DAC64, but at mating transports:I found out the hard way that there are "a few" transports that apparently are not compatible with the Chord, among them the CEC TL-1X which I was going to use until I enc... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? I've been in analog since the intro of LPs. I don't have a vast collection---in early years, I simply couldn't afford to buy lots of records, and my taste in music is rather limited to classical, and even then, to more modern stuff (Prokofiev, Sho... | |
| Vote for the best speakers in 10K range Schubertmaniac--- couldn't agree more with you about Maggies/SLs/boxes. I've owned Maggies since mid-'70s----most recently 3.5Rs (which I still have. HP likes 3.5Rs/3.6Rs when combined with a subwoofer, but if you start adding up what it costs to ... |
