| OPPO BDP 83 or Marantz UD 8004 Kal nailed it although SE or mods are tempting. That said, 83 is out of production and 93 is due in November. 93SE probably a year away. Art | |
| Review: Wyred4Sound STI 500 Amplifier Any RFI? I had an early version of the NuForce class D integrated amp, and when I turned it on, no one in the building could play a radio. They fixed that via a redesign over time, but I always had the sense that class D amps are particularly pron... | |
| Herbie's vs. Hal-O's, Tube Dampers whats good? What audible effect do you get from tube dampers?Art | |
| Wyred Dacs--Thoughts? Philefreak did you get DAC1 or 2? | |
| dac for squeezebox touch I'm leaning towards a Eastern Electric Minimax. I'm concerned about buying something without a tube option on the output stage. And the EE has great reviews and word of mouth.I tried the currently popular Bryston DAC (borrowed from a friend). Via ... | |
| I need help with my Equipment addiction ALSO, make sure that your system is not overly lean or overly revealing or hot in the treble. These are things that will cause you to miss the joy of a lot of the music - or at least that's how I react - and then I end up thinking about the gear. | |

| Replacing Nano with iPod for Best Sound I found that the ipod classic had a lot more authority in the sound than nano 4th or 6th generation (the ones that I own), but, the classic sound seemed a little bit grainier - noticable only in an A/B comparison.So I've been wondering whether the... | |
| ipod as source? I gave my nephews cables for their ipods some years ago that bypassed the volume control and amp of the ipod, and even they (not audiophile hobbyists) noticed the sonic improvement. As for bypassing the ipod DAC, I wonder what Apple is charging fi... | |
| Stereophile Rated the Sqeezebox Touch Class D Atkinson claims that he did not pressure Kal to remove any postings. Some years ago I had conversations with a well known audio reviewer about life as a reviewer, and she (in this case) told me that she quickly found she had to NEVER give any opin... | |
| Stereophile Rated the Sqeezebox Touch Class D Atkinson (Stereophile Editor) addressed this directly on www.audioasylum.com .He said that the D rating applies to using the analog outputs and doing no upgrading at all, such as different power supply.Personally, I think D is too low for the anal... | |
| Logitech Squeezebox Touch DAC: How Good? CW, my iTunes libraries are organized for sync'ing with my various iPods. The Squeezebox Touch seems to like it just fine. I use the wifi connection and the Touch finds the database on my Mac no problem. I don't remember whether I tried the PC or ... | |
| I need help with my Equipment addiction I find that the best solution is to remind my self by asking - what percentage of the music that I love is actually recorded so well that a great audiophile system complements it? Answer: not much.So my "current playlist" tends to twindle and beco... | |
| hearing tests - where and how? Stereophile test cd #3. Very useful!Alas, I get the same results with this test cd as I do when I go to audiologist. Sigh.Art | |
| PrimaLuna dialogue 2 or Caryaudio SLI80 4ML Summit Electrostats traditionally have low impedance and therefore need a lot of power. I'm not familiar with this model though. Caveat emptor. Symptoms of under-power may not be low volume, but rather, thin nasal sound and loose bass. |
