| Should a dac run hot?? My benchmark runs a bit hot. | |
| Musical Fidelity A5.5 CD vs X-Ray V3, and related It looks like the A5.5 has the same crappy Phillips transport. They are very bad and the break down percentage is very large. I had the kW SACD and not only did the transport break down, but when it came back from factory repair, it still was brok... | |
| Holographic imaging Achieving a 3-d hologram is (to me) the very goal of this hobby. It isn't an artifact...It's success. It's symetry of gear and room and a great recording. When I have Ray Brown playing that double bass in true 3-d hanging between my speakers, bein... | |
| Alesis masterlink arrived That's one of the biggest reasons why I haven't modded my Alesis. I don't want to worry about the shipping. Other reason is that my buddy modded his and although the CD sound is better, his FM recordings now pick up FM noise (actually a slight his... | |
| My head hurts.... Funny... My digital front end makes my headache go away.There's some pretty sounding digital out there, buys (and I'm a vinyl guy). | |
| Holographic imaging I agree with Detlof but I'd like to add that once ones equipment and the recorded music and room is capable of the holographic image, speaker placement is paramount.I have an absolutely beautiful 3-d sonic hologram image with my electrostics. When... | |
| Premier Record Cleaner, How to use I use the Premier on my used purchases when I'm too lazy to use the Audio Intelligent 3-step process and it's much better that the VPI fluid or Miracle Doctor. Rinsing after Premier with distilled water makes it even better. | |
| Alternative to VPI motor for Aries 3? The stock motor that came with my TNT was a little noisey (hey, I head it and that's all that matters to me). Upgraded to the flywheel motor and it is dead quiet. Cost a grand but worth it, to me. | |
| Amp burn in time..just being on or music played? While we're on the subject, I, too, firmly believe in burn in (I had an issue with my esoteric which was discussed here on A'gon-took me over 1,000 hours!). My break in issue prompted me to send Robert Harley an email where I stated that if his re... | |
| Transport Upgrade I've read here on audiogon that the Rega players have some issues. I'd do a search before I invested. | |
| Alesis masterlink arrived Pedrillo, The Masterlink is an awesome player and alot of fun. I've had mine for a while now. I haven't used the CD24 because I use the Masterlink to record compilations, play in my cars or Esoteric (or rip on PC harddrive for squeeze box) and nei... | |
| Maximum length for optical toslink How does it sound? | |
| DAC or. Lynx 2 sound card with Vista OS Cowanrg,I auditioned the Lynx and it was on my short list, until I decided that I didn't want my processing done in my PC. The inside of a PC is just way too noisey. The Power Supply in a PC just doesn't have the juice. Even my 1,200 watt Turbo Co... | |
| How important is direct USB connection into DAC? Go with Firewire! Much better than USB. I have an M Audio Firewire Solo ($200)- converts Firewire to SPDIF and than get ANY dac you want. Firewire, fireire, firewire! | |
| the best CD player between 6'000 - 10'000 $ ? Esoteric X03-SE - awesome on both redbook and sacd....sacd...WOW! |
