| Oppo as transport Thanks K. I auditioned Bel Canto DAC3 at home and really liked its sound. Also, the Benchmark I tried was several years ago and it wasn't the newer version. May be I'll give the new version a try if they offer home audition. BTW, I don't recall St... | |
| Oppo as transport Kijanki thanks. I don't like Benchmark dac. Tried it. Not to my liking. I know about cables. I've experienced a big difference switching from Acoustic Zen Silver Bites to Virtual Dynamics Master when I had the Bel Canto DAC2. That was something I ... | |
| Oppo as transport Sthomas12321, I don't mean to be rude, but let's please stick to the subject. You're about to start a whole new discussion here. That's not the purpose of my post. | |
| Will a new Preamp sovle my Problem? so if you can sell these speakers and buy the ones that may work better fir you, your wife will not approve that purchase, even if the cost is the same?In my experience, there is no cable that will solve this. Reduce, yes. But not by a margin that... | |
| Will a new Preamp sovle my Problem? the better the components the more they reveal the shortcomings of the system/room interractions. Your best bet aside from treating the room if that isn't possible, is to get speakers that sound less forward and less bright. I don't think preamp w... | |
| Oppo as transport Sthomas12321, I would appreciate if you keep me posted on how that dvd player does as a transport. Also, transport can make a huge difference as I just experienced in my own system going between using Slim Devices Transported into Bel Canto DAC3 o... | |
| Oppo as transport thanks ReubentI only need a transport for redbook CDs. Have no DVD-As and only about 2-3 hybrid SACDs. | |
| Oppo as transport Wow...I'm surprised at the number of responses! Just got home and checked this thread and have so many answers already. Awesome!What I was worried, but kind of thought this to be the case, is that Oppo's abilities are blown out of proportion a bit... | |
| Pass Labs amps. Help me choose. X250.5 may be the right choice. Unless you want to spend more and get the XA series amp.Also, with X350.5 you do get more power overall that you may not use to the fullest, but you also get more Class A power than X250.5 provides. So that is also ... | |
| Best Power amps in $7000 range if you buy used, add Pass Labs X350.5 to your list. Pass Labs make very good amps. Should last 20 years. | |
| Sonics on Cassandra Wilson New LP OK I listened to the whole disc. My initial impression is that this is her weakest effort so far. As far as recording quality on CD it is 7-8 out of 10. Can't say it's horrible. Sounds OK on my home system. The sound is a bit bass heavy with someh... | |
| Sonics on Cassandra Wilson New LP I just picked up the CD. Briefly listened to 2 songs in the car and it does sound weird. Can't really point out what the problem is yet, but certainly not the best quality recording. Almost sounds like it was recorded in the bar or something. When... | |
| Sonics on Cassandra Wilson New LP Thanks for posting that she has a new album. I'll pick it up on CD(sold my turntable recently).Usually her recordings are a bit bass heavy and have warm mids and soft treble.When you say bad sonics on LP what do you mean? In what way is it a bad r... | |
| ARC LS26 power cords, interconnects, tweaks I suggest you do not make any changes anywhere in the chain at all until the new preamp is fully broken in, which is anywhere from 400-500 hours of playing time(not just powered, but playing). Unless you bought the unit used.I hate to say it becau... | |
| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings thanks Detlof. I'll probabaly opt for the earlier Melodia recording. |
