| I took the plunge - PS Audio Stellar DAC and S300 I'm interested in the Steller Dac/Preamp myself. I would like to know if the pre amp volume control can be switched to "fixed volume" if I just want to use the unit as a Dac only. The owners manuals are not posted yet online. The unit it looks re... | |

| Class D Technology I hear the new Peachtree Novas have done a good job. I'd be curious how they sound | |
| What is the worst recorded CD you have? Led Zeppelin Reunion live cd. Terrible, terrible , terribleany RUSH live album from 2002 on. When will they learn that Alex cannot mix. Terrible, compressed to death. I am finding that bands ( like Rush) who are doing the "silent stage" thing ( al... | |
| How old of McIntosh SS stereo anp Lots of great feedback with Audio Classics. | |
| How old of McIntosh SS stereo anp Thanks for input. The entry level MC152 is $4500. A bit out of my budget. I'm hoping to find a nice used unit for half that. However, even that is hard to come by | |
| Peachtree Audio 2.0 Same here, I've had the Nova pre for about 5 years and it has been flawless. Actually, getting the new Nova and using it as a preamp is not a bad idea. The used Grand Pres are still quite expensive. | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? http://m.usa.yamaha.com/products/audio-visual/blu-ray-disc-players/blu-ray-disc-players/bd-a1060.htm... | |
| Anyone hear this new Hafler amp? Looks like the amp keeps getting delayed. I believe it's going to be in the $1200 ballpark. I'm sure the reviews will come once released | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? A couple of observations. Let me know if I am totally off base. 1. Many latch on to one or two characteristics of sound when choosing cables. For me it's how quiet a background and bottom end. For others it may be the treble end, cymbal decay, sou... | |
| Mogami wire quality? but I can say that balanced Mogami cables are natural, neutral and quiet. Do a great job fighting noise and don't really call attention to themselves. I have Mogami older (about 12 years old) balanced cables in my home studio connecting my audio i... | |
| Mogami wire quality? I'm one who would purchase exotic cables if I had a super expensive system that would merit such. Not because of sound improvement but more for aesthetics. If I owned a Ferrari, I would not put Craiger wheels on it although they would probably per... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Exactly. Everything is relative. IMO, it would not be wise to buy $3000 speaker cables for a $1500 set of speakers. Again that's just me. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? At the end of the day, the audiophile hobby is no different than any other. The hobbyist like to tinker, modify, change on a continual basis. If you are into gardening, you may find an exotic, high priced fertilizer produces more robust flowers. A... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Good or bad, like or dislike, with respect to cable choices are individual decisions.Therefore, the attempt to convince others that one philosophy is right or wrong is pointless.The discussions of different experiences and sharing of opinions, art... |
