| DCM speakers Aktchi: Comparisons are difficult, especially since I've never heard BC1s (would like to, though). But, to give you a point of reference, I own Vandy 1Cs with a pair of 2Wq subwoofers. I love the Silverline Audio sound, and my other favorite "hous... | |
| Vacuum tubed tone control??? Thanks, Joeylawn. I ordered a T1951 (great deal on a refurb at Musician Friend with a 45-day return option). I will post my impressions once I've used it a while. | |
| Van Alstine When I wanted to upgrade from a Rotel RMB-1066 to a better 3-channel amp for my combo 2-channel/HT system, I tried VA's OmegaStar 240 (not sure if it was EX version or not, but this was Spring of 2005). My attitude towards gear in general is that ... | |
| Vacuum tubed tone control??? The above post was supposed to be addressed to Joeylawn36111. Sorry about that! | |
| Vacuum tubed tone control??? I will take you up on your offer. I just read the T1951 manual, and I am intrigued. I like the fact that it can be set to a "hard bypass" when EQ or added "tube warmth" is not desired. The specs look impressive, but I was wondering: How much does ... | |
| Novice with vinyl & tapes needs help evaluating Chadnliz: If you inherited a piece of jewelry and wanted to sell it, wouldn't you want to get fair value for it? Also, I intend to split the proceeds with my friend who gave them to me.lmin2u: I wanted to, but there was a lot stuff, and due to som... | |
| What is the best used sub-$500 DAC? Nhtran: How would you compare the sound of three units you mentioned? I am very curious, thanks. | |
| DCM speakers I heard the flagship at HE 2007. Driven by a tiny Jolida tube integrated and the Jolida CDP as source, the sound was quite impressive. Smooth, dynamic, airy and open, with a solid foundation of tight bass. Way better than a $1K pair of speakers ha... | |
| Silverline's "Prelude" vs. Monitor Audio RS-6 A favor: Can the Prelude owners who have posted here describe their room size? I have heard these speakers, the new version, and was very impressed, but I suspect that I will need something bigger for my basement system. My basement is 500 square ... | |
| dac choice I am very interested in this thread. Has no one heard the VAC2? Also - and I've asked this before - the Pacific Valve modded Lite Audio DAC 62 is based on the same platform as the Monarchy M24. It uses a different DAC, but a well-regarded one. It ... | |
| Best Tube CDP for $2000 Budget Mrtennis: yes - I've seen very little on the Vincent players. Please post your impressions. TIA. | |
| Marantz cd510 As Transport? Thanks... I am months away from a source upgrade, but I will certainly consider using the CDR-632 with a DAC. | |
| Marantz cd510 As Transport? Well, to use the 510 as a transport, just use a digital output into the Cal Audio Alpha. Output voltage level should not be a factor, since that is a function of the DAC, not the transport. It is certainly worth a try before you spring for a new t... | |
| PS Audio? Rega? Benchmark? Barrelchief: Thank you for your comments. I have been reading a lot about the PS Audio and the Monarchy DAC. I am looking forward to your comparison of these two. Just a thought - the Lite Audio DAC 62, modded by Pacific Valve, looks very similar ... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Dopogue: Are you suggesting the Ack dAck 2.0 is more rolled-off in the upper-mids/lower treble (a.k.a. brightness) range? To my mind, that's where digititis makes itself heard. I was under the impression by other posters that the Raysonic was smoo... |
