| Question on the Philips 963 SA Yes, DVD-Audio discs have no "Video" material, just high resolution audio and menus w/ lyrics, pictures, etc. | |
| Has anyone comp. Epos and Axioms? Other suggestion Thank you Saki70 and Eldarado, that takes the Axioms of the list. I have never heard them.. so it would have been a shot in the dark anyway. But in the meantime I came up with PSB Image series (B15 or B25 and C40)... good reviews but then again, t... | |
| How to connect bi-wire speakers I would connect both +&- of the Silversmith to the high frequency terminals, and then the jumpers from there to the low frequency terminals. Why? High frequency information is more likely to suffer (i.e., detail) from added connections and wir... | |
| DIY Interconnects review Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us JD. This passion involves a big learning curve for most of us, and your write-up was very very helpful, and carries a lot of credibility. I suspect most of those who claim that cable doesn't make any ... | |
| SUBWOOFER ADVICE NEEDED Well, what you are looking for is fast musical sub. There are several options, although one of the best one for your application, REL Strata III, is no longer made. You might be able to find it used for about a Grand. Other suggestions would be AC... | |
| Which FM Transmitter for ipod? I went with Kensington based on consumer reviews on the web; e.g., sounded better than the Monster transmitter etc... I have no comparison, but I am happy with it so far... no interference at all. | |
| RCA Out To AES/EBU In To DAC Yes, get the Monarchy DIP, not only does it solve your connection problem, but also reduces jitter... quite noticable improvement. You can find them used here on Audiogon ranging from $100-200 depending on type. | |
| BEST DAC connection? Chech out Monarchy Digital Interface Processors (DIP), which greatly reduce jitter and alow you to convert the digital interface (e.g., optical connection from iMac to Monarchy DIP, and then coax/XLR (or BNC on certain models) digital out from the... | |
| I've all the gears. Whatelse do I need? Job well done! I think you made excellent choices for a good system synergy. At the level you got now, you will really start to reap some benefits of good cables and clean electricity. Any power conditioners? What interconnects, speaker cables, an... | |
| Integrated with switchable voltage Nuforce Integrated accepts voltage from 100-240 (Automatic). The new Creek flagship, the Dynasty, has a voltage switch, but I don't think any other Creek amps do. I also believe the Linn Majiks have voltage switches on the bottom. I don't know of ... | |
| help me build a system for $1200 Whow, lots of interesting directions. A lot depends on what you are looking for. I think your idea of the Super-T amp is daring.. and would take you into adventurous territory. It is only about $130 at Parts Express, and you could experiment with ... | |
| Can you recommend reasonable speaker cable Kimber 8tc is probably one of the best cable for the money you can get from commercial cable manufacturers. But I think you can easily better it for the money if you experiment with small emerging "no overhead" cable guys that you find here on Aud... | |
| Info on Snell C-lll Speakers These have been arround for a while, and you might get more for your money looking at current designs such as the Vandersteens. I listened to the Snell C-III in different setups in the mid 90's and was mightily impressed at the time, but then my o... | |
| Is a Audio Alchemy compatible with a Monarchy DIP? Yes, as long as the DDE has coaxial or BNC/XLR inputs. The DIP Classic outputs 44,1 KHZ signal, and so do older DIPs the superDrive (coaxial and BNC outputs) and the original (coaxial and XLR). I have had excellent results with both the SuperDrive... | |
| Please recommend CD player w/volume under $5500 Chris is right on! Don't do it. |
