| Do you like Jazz? which radio station in NYC has program called "New Sounds" or something like that. I heard this program is pretty good, but don't know which station and what time. thanks | |
| Breakin of Marantz SA8260 SACD player Mike, what do you mean it's class "a" @ $1000? | |
| Which digital cable to use with a Benchmark DAC-1 HDXV is a good cable for the money, but I just don't think it is a good match for Benchmark. It is not a very smooth sounding cable and DAC1 is not a smooth sounding dac. I would recommend Virtual Dynamics NiteII. You can try different cables from... | |
| Audio Research CD-7 versus CD3-mkII Last time I was over at Lyric they didn't have CD3 on the shelf. I specifically went there to listen to it. Thanks for the Mount Kisco place. I'll check it out. | |
| Audio Research CD-7 versus CD3-mkII Arthur, I appreciate your thoughts on the CD3. I would like to audiotion it, possibly in my system, but there are just not that many ARC dealers left around NYC. And if they do cary some ARC, it does not necessarily mean they have CD3 for demo or ... | |
| Audio Research CD-7 versus CD3-mkII Arthur, I like ARC stuff. I have ARC pre and had a CD2 in my rig for about 2 weeks(borrowed from a friend who has all ARC gear in his system) and liked it as well. I never listened to CD3, so I guess that made me curious how it sounds. But thanks ... | |
| Audio Research CD-7 versus CD3-mkII So Arthurp, does that mean that the CD3 MkII is world apart from CD3? Is there really that much of a difference that you did not even mention the sonics of the CD3 in your post above? How did the CD3 compare to the MkII version? I know it's off to... | |
| The Law of Diminishing Digital Returns I had a $400(retail) Marantz 5-disc changer in my system for 7 years. Wanted to upgrade. Bought a modified Music Hall CD-25. This was a significant step up. CD-25 was over $800. Then I bought the Bel Canto DAC2 and it was again a significant impro... | |
| The Law of Diminishing Digital Returns With what I heard in my system, it is pretty tough to beat the Bel Canto DAC2 I am currently using. I compared it to a more expensive dac. Yes, the more expensive dac was better, but it still did not make me want to sell the Bel Canto. I really wa... | |
| ground loop HUM please help Eagleman6722, unlike hum, hiss is not caused by ground loop problems. As far as I know. | |
| ground loop HUM please help if you have a cable tv, this may be a cause, as mentioned in the posts above. I had the same problem. To find if the cable tv is the cause of this problem, you need to disconnect the coax cable that runs into your house at it first point of entry,... | |
| Good power cord vs Killer power cord? Nsgarch, I tried several power cords on my dac and the one that stayed was the Audience. I am not sure it is the total AWG of the cords as much as the design and quality of the connectors used. I tried AZ Tsunami PLus, Shunyata Diamondback and Aud... | |
| How far apart are your speakers? my B&W N803s are 83 inches apart between cabinets. 20" from side wall to cabinet, 47 inches from rear wall to cabinet. toed in so that the tweeters cross about a foot behind listenning position. | |
| b&w 803 or vr4jr, best match although I never heard the VR4JRs, I own N803. B&Ws like to be connected to good equipment. Mac works GREAT with B&Ws. I use McCormack DNA-125, which is also a nice match. But, in my mind, the new 803Ds are in a different league comparing ... |
