| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Rinpoche,I'd play recordings that you both enjoy and are pretty familiar with. You're use to how they sound in your system and thus will easily detect any differences in presentation provided by a new component. This approach has been very effecti... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? I'm familiar with the CAT preamplifier in various iterations as a couple of friends had them through several generations. It's a very good product and has earned a well deserved reputation. Yet I suspect that the Jadis JPS2 is something very speci... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Rinpoche,You are on the right pathway, you do not need to change or in any way alter your approach. You motive is clear and direct, you simply want your music to sound enjoyable in your home. This is the best reason one could offer in my opinio... | |

| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Inna,The inescapable aspect about this hobby is it inevitably boils down to subjectivity. You make the valid point of expending the field of other competing speakers and components and the benefits of this exposure. I don’t know the extent of Rinp... | |

| Redbook Keeps Surprising Hello George, My only point is that multiple factors determine the overall sound quality of DACs. There're all important contributors and it's difficult to say that one is the definitive factor. Davt, I'm sorry for straying off your topic. Charles, | |
| What is your go-to online place to buy physical medium of music? And why? Amazon has been an excellent source for me regarding new and used CDs. Broad selection, good pricing and reliable shipping. I have no complaints with them.Charles, | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising Jon2020,You are making a very rational point. The type of chip or conversion (Delta Sigma vs R2R ladder ) is just one aspect of what determines the final sound quality of a DAC. Implementation of either method is the more important issue. I’d make... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Hi gwalt,Thanks for your comments and listening impressions. When Srajan Ebaen of 6 Moons reviewed the LV speakers he was quite impressed with them. He did note however that they were a bit harder to drive than their stated specifications would su... | |
| BEST AMPS FOR WILSON SASHA alfs100,It seems that the question has been answered. On paper the Pass Labs XA 100.8 is the better choice given the documented challenging speaker load impedance characteristics of the Sasha. It has also been acknowledged that actually listening... | |
| Feedback on Ayre and Aesthetix with Vandersteen 5As Robert,If the tubed components didn't sound any better than Ayre during you latest audition and you have reservations concerning tubes, you should just get the Ayre components. Tubes only make sense if you clearly hear /believe that they sound b... | |
