| OT: Fine Writing Instruments I enjoy pens as well. I just picked up my first Omas Italia (bottle) and am in heaven. I have the large Mount Blanc (Diplomat or 1849 or something) and the Omas blows it away. Rollerball over ball for me BUT I have this Chopard (black rubber &... | |
| Hum Coming Through Amp, What Happened? Interested to see what/if something changed anywhere on the electrical system since the hum started, ie, new ac system, added a cable somewhere else, new LCD in soundroom, etc. | |
| the perfect tonearm You must give a listen to an RS Labs RS A1 tonearm. It has a rotating headshell and is one of the (if not best) arms I have ever heard. I think new is $2,900 (maybe $3900-can't remember) but used should be in your budget-if you can find one. Only ... | |
| SDS Power cord I had a few shunyata diamondbacks lying around, so installed them into the sds/motor - nice difference. I think any power cables near cartridge/phono stage should be shielded-and decent. I wouldn't get pythons for it but do see (hear) improvement ... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 Pre - anybody heard a mod? I have the benhmark and once I upgraded cables & power cords (tara labs the one rca & shunyata python Vx Alpha Helix PC) and set all on a symposium shelf (w/nordost digital cable from digital source) the sound is awesome. The cables made a... | |
| Any U2 Fans Here? I aw the War tour at the pier, NYC, 1980(?). All downhill since that album. | |
| Want to buy Ayre C-5xeMP but... The ayer is a great unit. I preferred my Esoterix X03SE but that may be my syestem and room. I felt less digital, better resolution and timber, detail and greater soundstage depth-but that could be my system-solid state, electrostatics and a small... | |
| How to configure a PC for outstanding Audio? Isolating the pSU from the PC case also helps (nice rubber grommets) as well as a good power cord and a line conditioner. Also, if using an internal CD player (I don't-I use an external Lacie), also isolate CD from from case w/grommets as well as ... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high I visited an (audio) designer/engineers house/shop/showroomlast week. After an awesone vinyl demo, he took me into his shop where he was designing a new tonearm. I don't know if his arm will be $12k to $15k but looking at his gear (much of the equ... | |
| Clearaudio Stradivari Thanks so much for the time you spent, Axel~truly enlightning. | |
| Why are European Amps more expensive than Domestic Dollar exchange and shipping costs. | |
| Need advice on acoustic panels. Call echobusters-great guy-great product. Totally made my speakers disappear. | |
| SB duet dig to theta casanova vs transporter dac me thinks newer dac (transporter or outboard) will be better (sounding) assuming you have a resolving system, good cables, etc) | |
| Do you need a DAC for internet radio only? I have a squeezebox (Benchmark dac) and have no drop out/buffering issues w/internet radio. While I wish they were wav files, they actually sound decent through the dac. Better than mp3's, which they are. W/o the dac...they sound like mp3's. | |
| Firewire to SPDIF Not sure on the cables. I'm using the stock firewire that came with the MAudio and no issues. I have seen upgraded usb cables on line but have't seen any firewire by the high end mfg (Cardas, etc). I would bite if I saw one.Good luck with your upg... |
