| What time do you wear? Well said Bvdiman.I have sold three watches in recent years with little loss. I live in a rural area and I do not travel much, so I have never seen a GO in person so it makes such a buying consideration tough. Don't get me wrong, I am sure the wat... | |
| What time do you wear? Excellent collection Bvdiman! I currently have a desire for a particular Glashutte Original, I just lack the money to fulfill the desire and not (yet) ready to part with what I have. :)Brian | |
| Wilson Sophia 2's on Marantz Reference Dylan, there is nothing wrong with you being convinced of your opinion, you are just unwilling to accept any other that disagrees with you. You have relentlessly put down the Sophia with the same arguement over and over, not all people agree with ... | |
| Help me get the most out of my Merlin TSM MX My suggestion, for what it is worth, is do the speaker upgrade, which looks like what you plan on already. My rationale for this is that you already like your system a lot; upgrading your speakers shouldn't upset your system, rather improve on wha... | |
| Wilson Sophia 2's on Marantz Reference Not to keep beating the same issue, but I agree with the others in disagreeing about the 802D's over the Sophia's. Not only have I heard the 802D side-by-side with the Sophia's, prefering the Sophia's, I have owned the 802D's. | |
| wadia i170 meassured jitter level USArmy, you are confused. These companies are just separating parts of a product, a CDP, into more separate pieces. (I don't mean this to sound trivial, no doubt these dedicated clocking devices can be wonderful, but the task is the same, it is mo... | |
| wadia i170 meassured jitter level Elberoth, I am all for reading it, if I could get my hands on it. BUT, I have already done this myself so I have personal experience; I also have read numerous comments from others that mirror mine, published and on forums. If others are disapoint... | |
| wadia i170 meassured jitter level USArmy, I don't think anyone is questioning your results, but there are many variables here, probably even far more than I know. Maybe your DAC doesn't reclock, maybe it does, maybe this, maybe that...You say, "Even if your dac does a good job of ... | |
| wadia i170 meassured jitter level Hens, my DAC does reclock the signal, a must in my buying decision.I think the facts are that the 170i has high jitter as this has been objectively measured.Where are these measurements? I am not saying the statement isn't true, I just have never ... | |
| wadia i170 meassured jitter level That is awesome Usarmyvet, but everyones "reference sound" may differ, based on budget. The G08 was my "reference" and the Wadia/DAC combo matched it and has added convenience. | |
| wadia i170 meassured jitter level Let's not jump to conclusions with no facts. I have compared my i170 to my previous Meridian G08 CDP nd I, and others, couldn't pick which was the source, this includes using the G08 as a transport and connecting it to the DAC I use with the i170. | |
| Sophia 2 vs. Vandersteen Quatro Good thing it was as I have been so enlightned by so Dcbingaman; good thing I have a log home. | |
| What's next for the ultimate sound quality? You are a long way from the limits of speakers and who really knows what that limit is. That said, those speakers may have much more potential than you realize; I would concentrate on upgrading the rest of your system. | |
| MA2275 preamp section against other $4000 preamps? The preamp sectiom of the 2275 is not based on the 2200, it was a unique design which later led to the C220, is how I understand it. Brian | |
| Power Conditioning experience... I do not have a dedicated line. I do, I have two of them, so to speak; I say that because they are only dedicated in that nothing else is on those runs, but they share the same circuit box. One has a hospital grade outlet, I forget the model, and ... |
