| usb dac for hi-end system Read about Weiss at 6moons.com which uses Firewire.For cheaper sound I am interested in the Wyred $1k and $1500 models.USA made and use Sabre chip that's the rage.Plus you have Esoteric and always thought they made great sounding gear.Looked at/he... | |
| Looking for warm sounding speakers Vandersteeen.Also though I used to sell them B&W are pretty warm and forgiving of lesser electronics if not most precise at "x" dollar amount.Chazz | |

| Luxman 550 A II 20 Watt what that means? Yeah.Luxman to me is the new Accuphase and I drool when I see them (got in touch with ex reviewer for Soundstage who took plunge on one with some esoteric two way floor standers).But your speaker are 89.5 sens at a 4 Ohm load.I don't think it's en... | |
| Neophyte question about DAC's... Back in the day people would get a good tuner like McIntosh MR78 (I got poor mans version a Yamaha T-2).But it was as good as you could get back then.But as Cerrut said regular Internet Radio is compressed/lossy though it great that world is opene... | |
| small room questions Googling suboofer placement has a number of good sites.But always try to keep the crossover higher and the volume lower and move from their after long listening.People always want more but often less is moire.Might want to add Velodyne SCS-1 eq to... | |
| Best Subwoofer you've ever heard??? Some speakers need it.Unless you have something so pure you don't want to screw it up (I was thinking a narrow range system like 47 Labs Essence I heard once).Some folks love their Quads or Maggies but their strengths mean seamless integration is ... | |
| VPI to Symphonic Line Cardas are great cables but bet where you want to soften the signal a bit.I think Stanwal's has a good idea at first,then consider VPI cables.And Nordost since Harry chose them.Maybe call Harry or Mike at VPI and ask them as well.Bes Nivera at Mus... | |

| Best Value in Used Bryston Amps and Monoblocks Spoke to son of Magnepans founder about amp matching and Bryston is it.I think the 3 series Maggie has been matched with the Bryston more often then any other combo because it works.Plenty of current in the 4B ST (rated at 225 and benches near ano... | |
| Amp recommendations for Revel Salon2 I still think the Parsound JC1's are a great amp if not the new kid on block anymore.If you want power and build quality Bryston would be for me before Classe.I used to sell Mac and think it would be fine combo maybe not as much detail as others b... | |
| NAD 533 Rega P2 worth upgrading? I had a 533 whi9ch is slightly cheaper version of P2 made for NAD.I moved to a 3 and then VPI.I would say your starting out with starter table that should stay that way (sell,pass on,keep as back up).Stefanl upgrades are all good ones but for that... | |
