| Suggestions for upgrading audioquest interconnects I agrfee with suggestion for AZ cables. I tried AQ Jaguar and AZ Matrix Ref MkII were better in my system. I found AQ to be too laid back for my taste. I ended up getting AZ Matrix MkII. Good luck. | |
| A "bit" of information Koestner, in my opinion, although some dacs claim superb jitter rejection, their ability to deal with certain amount of junk that comes in from the transport is important. I personally don't think that Benchmark DAC-1 or my Bel Canto DAC2 are so j... | |
| A "bit" of information my marantz 5 disc cd changer sounds VERY different(like crap to be exact) from my dvd player when both used as transports with my Bel Canto DAC2, with Philips $65.00 dvd player being a clear winner. And WireWorld Super Nova 3+ glass toslink sounds... | |
| Arcam FMJ CD33 vs Cary 306/200 dkidknow, cool.... be sure though before you buy the A5 that MF worked out the problem with hybrid SACD playback... just check out my post in this thread earlier... | |
| Audio Research LS-15 Infincaps I ended up installing the new TRT Dynamicaps instead of the Infinicaps I planned to install. So far I have about 15 hours on the new caps and they are improving with every hour of use. Big improvement in the bass region, cleaner overall presentati... | |
| Acoustic Zen Silver Bytes digital cable Tooter, I've heard this too with exception that both are equally good with neither being superior when talking about RCA type link. What I heard was silver byte was designed to be RCA type and MC2 to be XLR type, so between these 2 in RCA version,... | |
| Acoustic Zen Silver Bytes digital cable thanks for opinions. I will try to check out both the MC2 and Silver Bytes and see which one makes more sense in my system, although I am pretty sure as you all pointed out, MC2 is superior. Just didn't want to spend that much on one digital cable... | |
| Acoustic Zen Silver Bytes digital cable never mind my question...I found the answer to that on their website FAQ. Looks like it does not matter 75 or 110 ohm. Harnellt and Teajay thanks for your advice. | |
| Acoustic Zen Silver Bytes digital cable Silver Bytes is 75ohm and MC2 is 110ohm. What's the difference? Could I use either one? | |
| Amplifier hum: Does it need repair? Thorman may have your answer.If you have cable tv, try to take the cable wire out of the first point of entry into the system, which is probably a cable box. But remember, disconecting the cable box would not show anything. Only taking that cable ... | |
| Which DAC? SFD-1 MKII/Bel Canto DAC1/MF A3.24 Clio, nice response...thank you. | |
| Which DAC? SFD-1 MKII/Bel Canto DAC1/MF A3.24 You may want to consider Bel Canto DAC2. Never heard the Audio Mirror or SF or Musical Fidelity. SF used to make good stuff. I don't know if that particular SF dac will better the current dacs in the price range though. Clio, what other dacs in pr... | |
| What's your favorite Patricia Barber album? By the way, that latest live cd, I don't have it yet. I got to get it. It's got to be good. Ipy, thanks. I checked out the new cd of Stacey Kent. She's pretty good. See the thing is if you look at all these singers, they basically sing all the sam... | |
| What's your favorite Patricia Barber album? Hard to decide which one is favorite but lately I've been listenning to mostly Verse, Moder Cool and Companion. Question is, after you have all of her CDs, what else do you listen to or recommend that is close in style and quality of musicians?Any... | |
| Copper vs Hybrid differences "Hybrid cables are too lean, harsh, and bright, IMHO"...MHO is different from yours, Audio Girl.My AZ Matrix Ref mkII interconnects do not sound lean, harsh or bright at all, despite the fact that they are hybrid. I don't know about hybrid speaker... |
