| wadia 151 dac/amp I don't know the working of the product specifically. So this is just an assumption on my part. Since it is a Wadia and they like to use digital volume controls, they are likely to have it set-up so that a higher setting on the volume control is n... | |
| Most significant upgrade Logitech Duet or Touch! While not an upgrade, the ease and enjoyment of it (for the whole family) results in more music enjoyment! | |
| Heat + air conditioners blasting = CDP won't play This happens with my server/wifi, but so far not with any stereo equipment. Interesting that it is happening to components and I wonder of the potential for damage???This heat sucks, winter can't come soon enough! | |
| BAT Preamps, why such polarized opposite opinions? Lot's of comments for and against BAT being slow, thick, veiled and others replies to this.I have owned BAT amps and preamps (3iX and VK 60's running in mono). At the very same time I owned Krell gear and Levinson gear and had a variety of speaker... | |
| Peachtree Nova or Jolida Hybrid Integrated I listened to the peachtree a few weeks ago, it was an integrated, so I cannot be certain it was the same model. I also listened to a Jolida all tube integrated (again, uncertain of the model). I was listening to speakers at the time and really ju... | |
| Pls recommend a tupe pre under 2500 for my system. Dante, addressing the room first is the smart move. If you still want a warmer sound after doing that, at this price point (used) you really should consider the Aesthetix Calypso - but know going in that you must replace the stock tubes to get wha... | |
| esoteric x-05 player Ditto to Cerrot's comments directly above. Wait | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... First off, the Ref 1000 is not a 1000 WPC amp, it is a 500 WPC amp (but that is really only for peak/short periods, not continuous). My experience has been that my BC1000 does not have sufficient power for my Thiel CS6 speakers, whereas, my 125 WP... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Another poster stated: "Sir Timtim,with a price difference of around 4500 buckaroos i would expect complete annihilation." refering to how a non-class D amp (McCormich to be specific) compared to a class D amp (W4S to be specific).This is where th... | |
| Best Amp for Magnepan 1.7? Clavil, having owned DCS equipment, as well as Jeff Rowland equipment, several Class D amps and many brands of speakers (including maggies, but not at the same time), I can confidently say that the DCS equipment was very likely a strong contributo... | |
| bel canto and wyred 4 sound I would have to agree with Magfan on his comments regarding similarity of class D amps having more in like, than major differences. I have owned and tested a few and found this to be the case - WITH WHAT I HAVE HEARD. There are certainly other thr... | |
| esoteric x-05 player Icorem, having owned several Esoteric players, DV-50, X-03SE and currently an SA-50 I can tell you with a high degree of certainty that if you love the smoothness of the Lector (which I think is a very good player) you are likely to be disappointe... | |
| bel canto and wyred 4 sound Ron, I got around to hooking up my Bel Cantos to the little maggies. Initially I just did a quick hook up of the maggies to the HT Receiver (yeah I know, no comment necessary, it's a Pioneer Elite model???). I am not too much into HT, so this is j... | |
| bel canto and wyred 4 sound I've tried several class D amps, historically I am class A all the way (to full rated power). My three most current/recent amps have been Krell FPB 300, Levinson 334 and a Pass Alpha (60@8/90@4), all fully class A amps. I have owned a few class A/... | |
| bel canto and wyred 4 sound Well Ron, it has been a while since I have been to this page. But over the weekend I picked up a couple pair of speakers. A pair of Thiel CS6 and a pair of Maggies (SMG-A, I think is the model). I'll give 'em a listen with the class D Bel CantosMy... |
