| HDMI Switchers The Key Difital is excellent. No signal loss. I gave it to a buddy and he loves it. I was using a DVDO iScan in its place (bypassing upscaler) and also worked great. | |
| Sanders Magtech Amp or Bryston 4B-SST2 4 Mags 3.6 The maggies aren't electrostatics. I have sanders stats, amps and preamplifier and it is the best sound I could hope for, for the money I spent. If you have to have the maggies, I would jump on the magtech. Maggies do not play quietly. They need j... | |
| I think I am going to attempt to make turntatbles I would look for something other than MDF for the plinth. Maybe the ikind of wood musical instruents are made of? | |
| SHM SACD's need to be burned in Maybe you changed a setting in the esoteric. The poor sound you described is what esoteric's sound like when the multiple channel is selected in the menu. | |
| Logitech Squeezebox Touch DAC: How Good? I had great results with a Benchmark DAC (upgraded the fuse) and had it on black diamong cones (#4). It served me well for two years or so until I upgraded to a Berkeley Dac. The Benchmark was wonderful. Nice soundstage, very good reslution, squee... | |
| Logitech Squeezebox Touch DAC: How Good? The Touch is great out of the box and can rival the best servers with some additional gear (power supply, cables, a great dac). I love mine. It ain't vinyl, but very, very excellent. | |
| VPI motor - upgrade to 300 rpm? I had a problem with the big rock and got rid of it. I have a TNT Jr. And found temperature changes were effecting the sand in the big rock, and throwing off leveling, effecting a few things. Vpi on my Billy bags rack now and improvement was signi... | |
| Kondo, Zanden, CJ, Ref 5? Pre w/ Pure Tonal Color? Lloyd, I had meant the Act 2 Series 2. I have not heard the ART 2 but can only imagine it's stellar. Good luck with your endeavor. | |
| Is the Monarchy DIP effective? Ozzy, I use the spidf from the touh into the combo and aes/ebu out to my dac. Sorry you didn;t experience the Combo's benefits. | |
| Kondo, Zanden, CJ, Ref 5? Pre w/ Pure Tonal Color? I would upgrade the CJ to the Series 2. It is the most transparent, dynamic preamp I have heard. It is totally neutral and just gets out of the way, while adding absolutely nothing to the signal. The qualities you are looking for will be revealed ... | |
| Levinson 360 vs Benchmark The Benchmark is better than alot of people think. It performs quite well with the proper power cord, line conditioner and IC's; as well as isolation and digital cable. It is incredibly resolving, projects a wide, believable soundstage and does a ... | |
| Would you pay to listen? A thought - maybe the retail price (or discounted MSRP that we usually pay) already includes consideration for the times people walk in just to listen and not make a sale?. Hey, I have a great audio guy (GREAT). Staff always very inviting and will... | |
| Static Control Will A Mat Help There was a recent thread on this and someone suggested dryer sheets (rubbing your hands on them before touching gear). I was prevously spraying static guard on my carpet in front of the turntable. The dryer sheets worked but when we got hit with ... | |
| Is the Monarchy DIP effective? Ozzy, do you have the combo set to upsample to 96k? | |
