| DAC woes - what to do for a grand, the benchmark, definitely. BUT, I wonder what I could get used... a berkeley dac for $1,500 would kill anything you'd be looking at, and with the new models out there, I think they may get there soon. I know if I weren't using mine (a... | |
| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? I think that it a reasonable expectation to buy decent gear and not have it hum. I also think there is alot of gear out there that people accept with hum thinking thats the way it is (not necessarilly) and that the hum doesn't effect the music (it... | |
| Any thoughts on removing a preamp from your system When I first connected my CD player direct to amps, I though I discovered transparancy and detail. I didn't. I liked it until I realized I was lacking everything that made music musical. I think the preamp is the heart and the back bone. | |
| Any thoughts on removing a preamp from your system I was preampless for years and recently added a preamp and am in heaven. I was under the impression the preamp was like adding "steroids" but it was more like adding vitamins. | |
| What is the best transport? Get the best transport you can afford and keep it as far away from your computer as you can. Puter audio is a fad and is a convenient modern day juke box. We all still listen to cds or vinyl for serious listening. And I assure you, JA doesnt liste... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere I was preampless for a few years and realized the error of my ways. added an ayre for $1800 and my rig sends me to new places. Saving up for a used KXR. | |
| Sanders 10c Owners Roger is now showing his new 10D's on his website. It has a new aluminum driver with a revised transmission line. I received my pair (I am an original Eros Mk II owner)about 2 months ago and am over the moon with them. You guys may want to give th... | |
| audiphile power cords All you guys have to do is listen with a standard PC and try something good. You need to be deaf to not hear it. Or, I guess, if you don't hear it, your rig is not revealing enough. | |
| How long before your cartridge warms up? 2 album sides for me and Im good to go. | |
| audiphile power cords I put a pair of 'upgraded' power cords on a pair of electrosstatic speakers once for a friend and all of a sudden, when the refrigerator cycled on, he no longer heard it through the speakers. Not only do better power cords do a better job of deliv... | |
| How much better is Esoteric K-03 vs K-05? I have a K03 and recently stopped using it preampless and now added an Ayre K5xe-MP preamp and have an awesome improvement. Im not buying the esoteric extra dacs and bits making up for the one bit of loss for every 6db of attenuation. I can easill... | |
| Taralabs cables Audiol, I have the ground station. Not sure what it says hex on it.Thanks, | |
| Bye-Bye Simaudio Moon Amp If I can't go big, I'd go home. Kidding aside, NAD top of the line receiver sounds perfect.Class D sucks. | |
| Taralabs cables Audiolabyrinth, I have a McIntosh mr78 modded by modeferri. Also using a magna lab signal sleuth. | |
| Taralabs cables I have the one cable with XLR on one end and rca on the other. I did not try w/o the connector. Not looking to switch cables around to experiment. Sound is just beautiful. To hear such a wonderful sound from FM makes me very happy. Easy and free! |
