| Which DAC would fit me best? Used Benchamrk Dac 1 w/o usb - cheapest I have see here though was $675. Definately worth it if you can swing it. | |
| Weak Link Loose, which B & W's have you tried? If you can stop by a dealer and hear the 685, you really should. I have not heard anything this good for the price. | |
| Weak Link Loose, I saw a pair of Totem Rain Forests here the other day. Price was $600 or $700 - can't remember. Retail is over $1,000. I have heard these and they are awesome little speakers. Just a suggestion. Regret I don't have a CD player recommendatio... | |
| Sibilance in recordings: your experience the same? Sibliance on cd can be from an unbroken player. I have experienced it. My X03SE was Sibliance City for 500 hours. Now, pure bliss. | |
| whats the finest recorded cd you've heard? Anyone hear the Frank and Johnnie Show 33 1/3? | |
| Is Diana Krall "Live in Paris" out on vinyl? I just picked up her Greatest Hits on Acoustic Sounds. Awesome LP. | |
| Musical Fidelity TriVista Worst transports in the world. Is that the problem? | |
| Advice on stacking equipment I stack my Innersound preamp and phone stage (they are both slim and light and exact sizes). Roger Sanders said they were designed to be stacked (he used to own Innersound-the electronics are made by Coda). I had them stacked for years but recenlt... | |
| Can someone explain It shouldn't. Using the headphones out from the Dell utilizes their analogue out, which is pretty poor (I have one). Only thing I can think of is your DVD is pretty poor (like an Apex or something? I have an Apex hooked to Dac that I tried just fo... | |
| Weak Link Loose,I don't think the Ara's can give you what you want. I also feel the Rotel Cd player is thin and edgy. For $1,500 bucks, you may be able to upgrade both. May I suggest B&W 685 speakers ($600 - I have a pair and they're wonderful for the m... | |
| Advice on source needed I don't think you can go wrong with either he Benchark or Bel Canto (I have a Benchmark and am very happy with it; thinking about upgrading to the Bel Canto but from all the reviews I have read, I may not get the imporvement I am looking for. I ma... | |
| Shindo preamps Great preamp but I have only heard it with shindo amps and it is a marriage made in heaven. My next upgrade will be shindo amp/preamp or Ayre Mxr/Kxr. The Shindos are magical. Try it in your system and see what you get. | |
| VPI Scout "tweaks" I had a BIG improvement when I upgraded the VPI IC's to Cardas Phono IC (I think golden reference - not sure. They're $600 so easy to identify if you are looking them up. Really BIG improvement over the VPI's. If anyone wants the VPI's, I'd be gla... | |
| Doe's anyone have a Esoteric XO-3 cd player? Congradulations, Irishboy. Please be very patient with break in as it doesn't sound very good out of the box. It's still winter (not sure where you're located) so if it's cold where you are, let the machine settle indoors for 24 hours before you p... | |
| Sandbox-style isolation Thanks for the feedback, Jloveys. I'll keep an eye on a used ultra platform. Thanks again. |
