| Signal vs. Audio Art vs. Speltz Anti? Need help... I've never heard Art Audio or Signal, but I'll give my 2 cents on Speltz, which I have in my system now. They provide a great amount of detail and won't give you a thin or lean sound (probably because they're all copper). But they are noticeably s... | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER 1. Many digital designers would agree that the noisy switching power supply in a PC-based audio can never come even close to a linear power supply, especially if R-Core power transformers are used. A "nice DAC" (or any other solution) can not he... | |
| Leben CS-300x vs. CS-300xs Mullard vs. Sovtek Kublakhan - Thanks. In the meantime, I got the 300x. Suppose I could tube role to find out. | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER Can't help noticing that the "Digital" forum is also "PC Audio" forum now, with few posts in the "PC Audio" forum. | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER Sammie: before you dump those CDs, make sure your ripped copies are backed up and that you won't face digital rights management issues in the future. E.g., you may need to the original source disk for some reason. | |
| Any high-efficiency bookshelf spkrs BTW - power and bass are not priorities. This is an office system -- don't want to disturb the neighbors. | |
| Any high-efficiency bookshelf spkrs Thanks for the responses. I'll look into those. Not sure yet on amplification. I'll look into the Leben and Stingray II integrateds, and others. Mostly listen to 50s jazz and jazz vocals, some other stuff. | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? I take it the shootout never happened at RMAF... | |
| Seeking your advice on Shindo preamps I can't compare the brands you mentioned. But I'll add this 2 cents for what it's worth. People always mention the tonal accuracy of Shindo preamps. What suprised me about the Shindo Vosne-Romanee preamp that I demoed in my system was the amount o... | |
| Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference? Yes, in answer to the original question. Anyone who debates they don't make a difference maybe hasn't tried a PC that can make a difference. The change in sound can be obvious. It is more obvious for some components than for others.I had switched ... | |
| Watt/Puppies with SET or push-pull??? Thanks all for your feedback. Dgarretson-have you used an impedance multiplier with good results? Does it impact the sound? Any model that you would recommend? | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? the fact that the revolutionary software is installed in reportedly substandard medium-quality hardwareStill waiting to hear what's revolutionary. They state on their web site that re-reading is not new. We also know it's not new since EAC and JRi... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? If RUR is NP's "ace in the hole," maybe they should be in the software business.Not trying to sound like a broken record, but still waiting to hear how RUR is any different than bit-perfect ripping, which is already done by EAC and JRiver. Bit-per... | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER EA user here. I use the Turbo-2 (AES/EBU out) with the EmmLabs DCC2 SE. With the right PC setup and EA's battery power supply, PCM is essentially indistinguishable from my CDSD SE. All of my CDs are tucked away in boxes in storage. I use the CDSD ... | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER Hatari-USB is limited to around 15 feet, but you can buy extenders that allow longer cables. I use an Opticis 30 meter fiber optic USB cable that converts USB to fiber optic and back again with no degredation in the signal. That way, I can keep th... |
