| USB DACs with 24/192 via USB Lets think for a second here about when USB for music playback came into being and why.It seems to me the USB interface was directed towards the sake of convenience crowd, far more so than for the audiophilic nervousa crowd.But just as with ... | |
| Advice on Family Room Music/Movie System A key issue here is your need - desire for 'on wall' speakers. outside of the audio diffs, finding them used is going to be tuff sledding.... possibly making you look into new ones altogether.Pretty much all else can be had preowned.The other 'key... | |

| Tube sound Comes, mainly, from? Pre or Power? Detlof Super! Glad you found the 'fit' you were seeking.As much as 'half measures' are just half measures, it's really what's upstairs that counts in the end. What can and does float our boat or butter our bread completely.I hesitated to use the l... | |

| LP playback vs Reel tapes made from LP MarakanetzSorry if I mislead you here. My little collection of a few hundred LPs are 'RIP-ing' in my closet. My reel tapes have long since been discarded, and the TEAC was stolen.My hard of seeing deal prevents me from having the confidence to inv... | |
| USB DACs with 24/192 via USB BigampMy point is as Onhwy61 said... does the "???" DAc support more than 16/44-48 over USB?Can DACs in fact accept higher word lengths and bit rates using USB as the conduit, or why not?My own meager trials indicate to me using USB as the only in... | |
| LP playback vs Reel tapes made from LP I agree for similar reasons.... having done such a thing in the distant past. I used a pro TEAC w/10 in. reels and 15 ips.Add to that such a method was common to extend the life of LPs as well... back then... and yes... in my situation too, my pho... | |

| Tube sound Comes, mainly, from? Pre or Power? I like what Al, and Swamp .. had to ssay. In so far as versatility, convenience, and matching of amps to speakers.I would submit the degree of influence is about 50/50, be it tube pre or tube amp in conjunction with its alter power mate.I have pe... | |
| Advice on Family Room Music/Movie System I'd only think of placing wall mounted speakers for the rears. I'd also think of running a ghost center ch instead of having to deal with the fireplace and positioning... stand... wall... etc.I'd highly reccomend stand mounted speakers, or floor s... | |
| Synergistic Research active shielding question No prob... they also take six to twelve hours to regain their composure following being de-nergized. after a day, unless they are brand new not run in cables, the bass will be better. If new, it's gonna be a while. |
