| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt - will it be the latest version and already broken in? Looking forward to your impressions. | |
| Jeff Rowland Zd542 is correct, you need to add a suitable quality preamp to improve the sound of running your M1 DAC direct to your amp. Many preamps will actually degrade the sound, so you would be best off if you could audition the exact preamp you're consid... | |
| Cleaning, polishing Speaker Cabinets ? It depends what type of finish the speakers are. Are they an open grain wood finish, or a high gloss lacquer? For a gloss finish I recommend an instrument polish like Gerlitz Smudge Off Spray Cleaner, or an automotive detail finisher spray on prod... | |
| Jeff Rowland I think that their suggestion is a good one. I have compared the 525 and 625, and the 625 is clearly a step up in performance. It's more refined overall with improved body, depth and dynamics. The 625 has a more effortless presentation when compar... | |
| Bizarre Single Channel Preamp Hum I'm not sure what could cause the problem you described which is corrected when you reverse the XLR cables. The first thing I would suggest to troubleshoot it would be to try a different pair of XLR interconnects. | |
| EMM Labs CDSD SE doesn't LOCK onto CD/SACD? I'm not familiar with the EMM Labs unit, but it seems likely that the INT/EXT switch is to select whether you're using the INTernal drive or an EXTernal digital source via the other digital inputs. Happy that you got it working!!! | |
| VPI, Graham, Koetsu advice please I would bet that Bpoletti is correct and that there is a loading issue or mismatch with your SUT. Suggest that you contact Bob's Devices for their guidance to hopefully resolve the issue. | |

Need amp advice I would strongly suggest that you audition such an amp with your speakers, as they sound very different from the Class A bias amps that you have so far seemed to have a preference for. Not that they sound bad like some older Class D designs, just ... | |

The beta mono amps are expected to ship shortly. Once feedback is completed from the beta testers and a... | |

| Sound Lab vs Magnepan 20.7 Essentialaudio - With all due respect if I may correct you, electrostatic speaker panels do not have any magnetic coating. They are a non-magnetic design, and the membranes need to have an electrically conductive coating in order to be charged to ... | |
| 2-Way Advice: Magico S1,YG Carmal,Diablo Utopia Ricred1 - I don't have any first hand experience with Scansonic speakers. I have read about their association with Raidho and many favorable comments about them mostly from show reports and comments on other forums. It looks like they have a handf... | |
| 2-Way Advice: Magico S1,YG Carmal,Diablo Utopia For those interested in Raidho but find them out of their price range, you should check out Scansonic speakers. They are designed by the same team with very similar technology but at significantly lower prices. |
