| Balanced Variable Attenuators Thansk. I'm not sure what the input impedance is. I will reach out to Ric. | |
| Balanced Variable Attenuators Thanks, guys. I do need something that rivals a Class A preamp so the Endlers are out. I will try some of the other suggestions.Thanks, | |
| RCA or XLR Between Digital Separates? Thanks, guys. I am comparing now - a Tara Labs "the One" spdif and a Purist Audio 20th Anniversary Actures XLR. Need to warm up the XLR a little more but it may have a deeper soundstand and be a little (little) more resolving but the bass is (mayb... | |
| RCA or XLR Between Digital Separates? I was under the same impression but read in recent reviews that spdif was superior. Does anyone have any experience? | |
| xa5400es, emm labs, Meridian for classical piano. You want to compare the Oppo to an $18,000 player? | |
| Isolating digital components? Herbie Audio makes great affordable footers - I have had great success when forced to stack digital components. | |
| Logitech Squeezebox sound compared to CD Player I didn't say the wireless was veiled. I had said the squeezebox touch is veiled. Didn't matter in my system if it was hard wired or wireless. I have the Channel Island PS, Revelation Audio Embilicle and had it going into a Tara Labs The One Digita... | |
| Logitech Squeezebox sound compared to CD Player The Logitech is veiled. I love it, but compared to my other digital sources, it has a blanket over it. | |
| DAC for Esoteric XO3-SE CDP I have an X-03 SE and have it going into an Esoteric G25U and Berkeley Dac. Sounds pretty awesome but I do think the Esoteric sounds better by itself. | |
| DAC upgrade Whats your budget? If a grand, I loved the touch with the benchmark. If you can go deep, the Berkeley is sweet. If you want to get crazy, play with reclocking &/or upsampling the touch output. I started with a monarchy dip and had great result... | |
| Importance of computer for DAC shootout Why USB? A good soundcard w/spdif out will blow away the usb (unless you spend mega bucks (and still...). Don't limit yourself to usb, it's the poorest interface. Try different sources and you can easilly hear the problems with usb. | |
| What is the best A/V Receiver out there? The Pioneers are Digital amps. Better off with a nice NAD. I had a Pioneer Elite (92THX) and went to the NAD T775 and it wasn't even close. The new pioneers with the digital amps sound pretty poor. Actually, they sound great but there isnt any emo... | |
| best rock SACDs The SHM SACD Paranoid is the best Sabbath recording I have ever heard. Truely awesome recording. And an incredible piece of music if your a fan of the genre. | |
| If your whole system costs $40,000.... I think a puccinni is overkill but a K01 is dead on. | |
| Esoteric's G-03x Master Clock Generator I have the G25u, X03SE and the Berkeley Dac. I use the G25u to clock the X03 (used for sacd mostly) and the improvement with the clock was, to me, significent. Less on redbook. I also use the G25u to upsample and clock an ESI Juli@/PCWin7/JRiver w... |
