| Is SACD really this lousy? DACs are designed many different ways by highend manufacturers, and I was referring to the op amps that comprise the line level output stage. There's no reason to use op amps in this stage, other than to be chaep and stupid in your audi philosophi... | |
| What the heck is Resolution Audio I resent the implication, and who are you to imply it? You need to educate yourself more about highend companies, before you make a fool of yourself. Good day... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? Albert means that music in real life hasn't been digitized. Look, I feel like I'm beating a dead horse here, but only a handful of people seem to know that the SCD-1 has horrible op amps for its output stage! An op amp would destroy so much of the... | |
| How good do SACD players play normal CDS Fonsy, I'm tremendously happy that there's yet another RA CD50 owner who agrees with me! Long live RESOLUTION!!! Say hi to missus "C" for me... | |
| KRELL KAV250CD vs ROTEL 991CD You might consider the Resolution Audio CD55. I have the CD50, and feel that it's stupendous in every way. The CD55 upsamples to 700 kHz 24 bits, and drives amplifiers directly with decisive force. My CD50 sounds a lot like analog, has an ease and... | |
| DA CONVERTER FOR MULTI DISK My Musical Fidelity X-Dac sounds great, and has HDCD. I just got the upgrade power supply for it, recently. I use it with the Kimber Toslink cable, and a 6 year old Sony 5 disc changer. Of course, I have billion dollar equipment in my "primary" sy... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? It's good to know that you know this for a fact, John. | |
| Last CD purchase; M.L. 39 or Wadia 850? My CD50 has gobs of rhythm, pace, musicality, "ease", and any other positive attribute you can think of. | |
| Need Speaker Cable advice Based on the amount of parallel conductor you get for the money, the Nordost speaker cables are the most expensive. But, if you've compared them with everything else, and like them better, then that's fine with me. | |
| BEST TURNTABLE AT COST NO OBJECT I've noticed that the issues have gotten much thinner, too. I hate to say it, but the magazine that was once so great (even only like 2 years ago), and even got me started in all of this, may be coming to an end. Whoever the scumbag is at Peterson... | |
| Power cords at ridiculous prices? South43, I agree, I love my Chang, but don't use it for the power amps............Highwayman, I don't doubt that optimizing your house wiring and circuitry is a huge benefit, but there's no need in saying it's a "must" BEFORE you even try a highen... | |
| BEST TURNTABLE AT COST NO OBJECT But David, Mike does more to influence more people into taking an interest in vinyl, than you do. He's extremely important. Not that anyone should donate anything to him, that's absurd; he gets too many perks anyway. But his writing is very import... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! And thank goodness for that! | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation I don't need to try it, because my speakers are single-wire anyway. Also, adding jumpers is one of the worst things you can do, believe me. I'm sorry to hear that you've had to compromise and do all of that work, under your floor, etc. I'm a firm ... | |
| Power cords at ridiculous prices? I disagree. A quality power cord is still going to yield an improvement that is worth its price, without "upgrading" all the lines upstream from it. Mine has. |
