| Audio Dropping Out on Rega Apollo and Saturn Wow, I am glad I saw this thread. I had listened to the Rega's carefully many years ago when they were getting wonderful reviews and comments and was not impressed with the sound. I had listened to the subsequent models and felt that there was not... | |
| How can you not have multichannel system I have gone both ways, and with pretty well set up 5.1 channel systems (all Wison, BMW, Totem speakers - obviously at different times - all speakers same brand). Various amps (all Krell, Theta Dreadnaught II [aweful for 2 channel], Contrad Johnson... | |
| Best audio quality - Apple iTouch vs iPod Classic I have the Ipod, I don't know the technical generation of it, I bought it new 9 months ago and it has a 120 or 160 GB capacity. My son has the touch 16 GB (because he likes the games/downloads/etc. . .). Listening directly to the two pieces, I hea... | |
| Anyone listening to 24/196? My DCS upconverter outputs to 24/192. However, in running the digital 24/192 signal to my DCS DAC, I am required to use two balanced digital cables or a firewire cable as regular digital coaxial or toslink digital optical cable do not have the cap... | |
| Thinking about Laptop system - Newbie Questions In response to above Q directed to me: For a while I ran a Esoteric X-03-SE through the DCS upsampler and DAC, but most of the time I just ran it direct.I ended up getting rid of the Esoteric (though it is a terrific CDP, one of the best I have ow... | |
| Question about iPod Classic I would disagree with your friends statement. I have run my 160 GB Ipod through my headphone amps without any external DAC and it sounds very good.That being said, the same songs on my hard drive played through my Logitech/Slim Devices Duet going ... | |
| Thinking about Laptop system - Newbie Questions I have the Duet and love it. This has been the greatest addition to my audio system ever!!! I run wirelessly from a Mac desktop (used to run from a PC with external HD like you are proposing and this was the same). I run digital out to my DCS stac... | |
| My first post, need some opinions about speakers Concur with everything said by Viridian. If both speakers seem about equal to you, you have two choices:Be a good friend and support your friend's speaker building business, knowing that you will never be able to sell your speakers.ORBuy the name ... | |
| Experience with portable "mp3" devices #1: don't put compressed music onto your portable player. No matter how good of a player you can find, the music will sound like junk.#2: buy good headphones, for portable, I like canal phones. Recently got a pair of Westone's that I really like, ... | |
| What do you look for in a pair of speakers? Based on your comments about what you want, you are looking for a speaker that is more likely going to be on the detailed side versus the warm side (based on my personal experience). Over the past several years I have owned a lot of speakers in va... | |
| Using the surround back channels for zone B? I previously had a 507 S2. You do need to send the unit back to be able to amplifier your zone B speakers from this unit. I had the same issue as you about not wanting to incure the cost and time to send it back. What I did was purchase a second 2... | |
| Dissapointed with my new speakers To a large degree, the real culprit may be being ignored. These speakers have neither a good lower extension nor are very tight in the bass. Personally, (having owned the 602 S3) speakers (and other B&Ws), this is somewhat the sound you will g... | |
| USPS Priority Mail Think about it logically - you will either rely on a government employee to service you or a private sector employee to service you. Any day of any year for any purpose I would choose a private sector employee who knows that job stability is based... | |
| Network Storage for iTunes Music Server Weiserb is correct. iTunes the software and interface window that you open to determine what songs to sync will still be on your main computer. The actual song files will be on your NAS drive. You iTunes does not care where the actual physical loc... | |
| 13 going 30. The DV-60 is a pretty good player, but the upgrade here will not be as significant as going to the X-03 or X-03 SE. You would be better off buying a used X-03 SE vs. the DV-60. You can expect to pay about $4K for a fairly recent, excellent conditi... |
