| DAC for $1800 or less? I second the DAC1 in that I use it and it has made my system sound better than much more expensive systems I have auditioned in stores (I have nice speakers and rel sub, but my other electronics and cables stink). I did not compare it to anything ... | |
| Minor keys are like spice and alcohol? I think you are exactly right. I have had similar thoughts for some time. It is amazing to me how music can convey a sense of emotion, or even a message, without words. I tested this on my wife a couple of years ago by playing various Joe Satriani... | |
| Recommended speakers around $10K used I do not claim to have a golden ear, but have listened to several speakers on your list. I play guitar, so the sound of guitar is important to me too. Revel salon auditioned in a room with some treatments on the walls, but other speakers in the ro... | |
| Revel Pricing Interesting thread. I am surprised that there is not an archive on this site for price paid all of this high end gear. That would be an interesting reference. Without question, dealers need to make a living too, but prices have gotten too out of c... | |
| Speed bumps as a cause of hearing loss. I am not sure if this is a joke, but as someone who deals with ear problems regularly, I have never heard of such a minor trauma causing dissociation of the middle ear ossicles. This type of problem is seen with HIGH IMPACT head trauma and the hea... | |
| lamm with ? preamp thanks for all of your responses | |
| What's up with Talon? How would the contributors to this thread compare Talon firehawks to comparably priced speakers of other well known companies? It sounds that they are technologically as advanced as any brand out there, but I have not heard a lot about them, nor a... | |
| meridian 861 for stereo vs dedicated 2ch preamp So for the 861, the digital signal from the transport is converted to analog by the DAC and then back to digital as it goes into the 861? Does this degrade the signal at all? I know if you use a meridian player also, there is a direct digital prop... | |
| Lamm ML 2.1 SET vs ASR Emitter II, DartZel The "revolutionary" descriptor about the ASR is interesting indeed. What is there website? I googled it and didn't find it | |
| Difference between B&K AVR507 and 507 Series 2 ? What is the cost of the upgrade to series 2? How do you go about it? Do you have to send it to the company or can the local dealer do it? | |
| Watt/Puppy 7 or Sophia? I have had demo of WP7, sophia, and the original MAXX in the same room (an isolated treated listening room at the dealer) with the same equipment (meridian 861/800, transparent cabling, classe CAM-350 monoblocks). Prior to this audition, I had hea... | |
| rel with monoblocks Sounds good. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking some special issue that the rels have, but it does makes sense that one can use it with monos. Thanks to all for your input. | |
| Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears? There are 2 types of tinnitus1) objective which a clinician can hear with a stethoscope, can be one or both ears, and is typically pulsatile or heartbeat sounding. This should be evaluated by a professional because it could be a vascular tumor in ... | |
| Guitar Solos Good thread, solos are much harder to come by these days. I agree with the EVH, Vai, and Satriani comments above. They have so many great ones that it would be hard to pick a favorite. One of my favorite albums for rock guitar solos is by (yes, a ... | |
