| Anyone heard PSB Imagine T3? I have already given my impressions above. FYI, a full review is scheduled to appear in the upcoming issue 255 of The Absolute Sound. | |
| Pro-ject Xtension 10 vs. VPI Prime vs. Amadeus Just a minor correction regarding the VPI Prime, while it was initially introduced at a special $3,500 price it has been $3,800 since the beginning of 2015. | |
| Jeff Rowland Bombaywalla - Your post was factually correct, but I felt it could use some further clarification after you stated: "Ask Rowland if driving 1.5 Ohms in bridged mode will be an issue." I thought as Guido stated that this could be interpreted as if ... | |
| NAD M51 DAC high-pitched ringing? Have you tried keeping everything else the same with a different amp? It's possible that the ringing you are hearing when music is playing is due to an issue with the Jolida amp like having microphonic tubes. I would try to eliminate the Jolida to... | |
| Jeff Rowland Guido is absolutely correct, he beat me to it in pointing that out. | |
| Best Female Vocalists Ballads If I may correct your last one, that's Rickie Lee Jones. | |
| Jeff Rowland Good luck, I hope that you'll be very pleased with your decision! | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Just to clarify, the revisions noted in my post above are in reference to the Bricasti M1 DAC. | |

Units having these latest updates from the factory should also have the power supply changes (which had an earlier availability) as well as the rece... | |
| Sound Lab vs Magnepan 20.7 While the Legacy Aerius are fine loudspeakers, I do not find them to be at all comparable to Sound Labs or Maggies. The Aerius are fine box speakers, but do not 'float the sound in air' the way that a fine panel speaker does. I also do not find th... | |
| What's it worth? That version of the AR Turntable sold for $325 without arm and is currently worth ~$150. The Linn arm sold for $295 and is currently worth ~$200. A cartridge of that age isn't really worth much since it likely needs to be replaced or rebuilt. So y... | |
| 1/4'' ding / chip on a glossy black speaker Try to find a local furniture repair woodworker. It will probably be very costly to be returned to as new condition if that's even possible, but they should be able to make it look much better for a more reasonable cost. | |
| Jeff Rowland Zd542, would you please share with us what model Rowland amp you are referring to? I'm interested since I've heard many of them and your experience runs counter to mine. TIA | |
| 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... |
