| cdp/transport for trivista 21 There are some good transports that are cheap by todays standards, I have tried a ton of them and have found that the digital cable was more important then the transport.Happy Listening. | |
| Background Voice On Bridge Of Sighs ? Yes, I know exactly what the voice is saying "Pat get off Agon and get a life!" I can hear it plain as day in my AC treated system with all my components dampened! I even hear the same voice on my Back Street Boys unmastered greatest hits collecti... | |
| Anyone using silicone oil for dampening?? Jkring,I have the opposite experience with dampening. First having the room treated and having quite AC were the first issues that were addressed. Once that was completed, the dampening of the entire rack of components, each individual component a... | |
| Anyone using silicone oil for dampening?? Thanks Rushton,I was looking at the silicone oil to use in dampening my racks and components by making/finding some type of small pads that I could sit my components or rack shelves on. Not sure what but in reading about dampening materials, silic... | |
| Dahlquist DQ-20 Fan club Rant Opalchip, the upgrades make a difference if you know a tech who can tell what parts will make the biggest improvements and what ones to leave alone so that you are not just replacing parts for the hell of it. Try Miller Sound in PA.Happy Listening. | |
| Mullard New ReissueTubes??? Yes Albert is correct. I know the guys at New Sensor and they are good tubes for the price but don't compete with the "real: tubes. Don't get fooled, BTW you never know who you are bidding against either.Happy Listening. | |
| TDL transmission line speakers They have to be 20 years old if I am correct, with a 6x9 type woofer. There are much better speakers for the used prices, such as Alon IIs, IV, & Vs, Vandersteens, etc.And once you buy the TDLs good luck trying to resell them.Happy Listening. | |
| Powercords $1000 that beat VH Audio cords The Kworks Empowered cord, it is not a tone contro but built to reject AC noise. It sounds more natural then any of the major brand cords that I have tried under $600. I do prefer the Elrod non sig EPS 3 to it on my amp but it was a close call and... | |
| Best transport for under $500 Agree with Jab but the dac and digital cable will be the biggest difference. | |
| what is star grounding? Gregadd the link did not work. | |
| Dahlquist DQ-20 Fan club Rant Agree with RX8Man get Bill to do your mods, or go up the ladder with the same designer to 30is or Alon V MKIIs.Then address isolation and AC. I can help you out with these for cheap.Happy Listening | |
| DAC that beat Mark levinson 360s ?? Up sampling does not mean better sound, I don't know where that is a proven fact. Anyway, what digital cable are you using, that would probably make a bigger difference since the cable passes the sound to your dac, garbage in, garbage out.Happy Li... | |
| Purpose of a DAC and Redbook Presentation yes there is a benefit but you also need a very good digital cable. The other option is to have your CDP internal DAC modified. | |
| hum with 2wq filters/ general hum help needed try makig a star gounding system where all of the components are grounded to one point. Maybe someone here can help with the design. | |
| DAC for my HHB Burnit Besides the DAC, the digital cable is very important. If the signal to your dac is flawed, then so will be your sound. The DAC and the cable are more important then the transport really is in the chain.Happy Listening. |
