| Upgrading audience power chord to version "e" I upgraded one of my Powerchords to E and find it is substantially more lively and focused. Makes the non-E sound vague by comparison. Amp is Cary SLI-80. Speakers Silverline 17.5. | |
| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. Be sure you are using the Cardas Golden Ref or one of the other more transparent Cardas line. The Cross line are slightly warmer but also slower and more opaque. I like Cross mainly with lower priced transistor gear that is a bit unrefined on the ... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Cary 308-T. It makes very beautiful music with a natural level of detail. | |
| PS Audio PW vs. Bryston BDA-1 vs. Wyred 4 Sound I've tested the Bryston in my home and found it excellent, that is, both highly detailed and highly musical (which is unusual in my experience). HUGE caveat: the USB input REALLY needs a preprocessor / reclocker, which you can get for several hund... | |
| Reliability of Cary Audio Products My Cary experience over many years is rock solid. No problems. 3 cd players and Cary SLI-80.Art | |
| Logitech Squeezebox Touch DAC: How Good? >Are you using the Empirical Audio Pace Car or Off Ramp >jitter device?>Regards,>BillHeck if I know - it was borrowed. My friend said it had retailed for around $1000, does that help?Art | |
| Logitech Squeezebox Touch DAC: How Good? On first listen is is hard to find any differences at all! After a few minutes though, it becomes clear that the Touch is very enjoyable, and does not have any serious flaws that make it harsh or uninviting but compare to 308T and Bryston/Empirica... | |

| Logitech Squeezebox Touch DAC: How Good? UPDATE: Well I'm getting great sound via analog and even better via digital outs into a DAC, and the SDHC card (32GB) works great, and internet radio works perfectly, and connection to my Mac-based server is superb.USB hard connection is very flak... | |
| Nano as travel piece Westone Om2, Om3x, Om1. Excellent at their price points. Natural treble, midrange promient, and on the 2 & 3 bass is featured.Those are the "professional" models. The "consumer" models are a little bit less transparent and less linear. The Wes... | |
| Logitech Squeezebox Touch DAC: How Good? Thanks for the note Tony, it sounds similar to my experience on the analog side. I'll check out your note.To be fair to Dan, actually I'm real busy too so it's more that we need to find a mutually convenient time. Art | |
| Logitech Squeezebox Touch DAC: How Good? So far I'm finding that going using the analog outs of the Touch (Cardas Golden Ref interconnects into Cary SLI-80 into AU-24 into Silverline SR-17.5's), the following all sound very similar:a. wireless out of my Mac (Leopard, not Snow Leopard) wi... | |
| Preamp for Thiel 1.6's Thiels are a very clear and serious window into the quality of your gear and your recordings too. You will hear the change in hiss on early Beatles recordings - where they spliced the tape! This will sometimes prove fascinating and other times a d... | |
| Has anyone had eperience with the new sony xa5400e I'm thinking that a digital input might be a very inexpensive feature for a manufacturer to add to a cd player. I don't know this for sure though. | |
| Has anyone had eperience with the new sony xa5400e Is there a DIGITAL INTPUT? My reading of the specifications is NO. This is late in history to start putting big bucks into cd players - which could argue for the modestly price / high performing 5400. But lack of digital input makes it a harder se... |
