| Dude TRL vs Red Wine Isabella vs Dodd If you have already heard the RWA and know you like it I think you have your answer. I agree it should match up well with the Samsons.TRL is a leap of faith but you will be rewarded. Grannyring's review of the Samson's is spot on. Also, read the r... | |
| xlr vs rca Herman brings up a good point. Traditional measurements illustrate how machines hear, not how humans hear. I too was convinced by all the reading I did that a balanced set-up would have advantages over single ended, and it may have, but I could no... | |
| Dude TRL vs Red Wine Isabella vs Dodd At $2800 used the Samson's are a steal. Pair it with a Dude if you can. Otherwise the Dodd suggestion is a good one based on price to performance. | |
| ST-70 modifications K&K Audio has a mod package for the ST-70. It converts the amp to 10 watts triode. Might be worth looking into. | |
| WAV vs. AIFF So in your experience not using error correction when ripping CDs to a HD or server results in a better read? My reason for asking is that I'm about to rip some CDs to my MAC. I was planning on using AIFF with error correction. Your post has me re... | |
| WAV vs. AIFF tbg, why maximum avoidance of error correction with WAV? | |
| WHERE ARE THE BIG DAC ??? Sorry Lessloss is not tubed. | |
| WHERE ARE THE BIG DAC ??? If you can find one used the Lessloss DAC 2004 MkII. New they are EURO$2995. | |
| other speaker cable, what to buy Supra Ply 3/4 is very inexpensive ($12/ft. here in US) and very good. I find it to be neutral in my system. | |
| CD Player Under $1.5k With Vinyl Sound Cary 308T is another option you may want to consider. If you want to stretch your budget a couple hundred dollars the Ayre CX-7e is a very nice CDP. | |
| Analog Tuner Existence..... I just purchased a Kenwood KT-8300 and have been amazed at the quality of sound from FM broadcasts, especially the UNLV jazz station (KNUV) here in Las Vegas. Like Stitskin, my use has been as background music, but I too find myself drawn into the... | |
| Zero Feedback: Atmasphere vs. BAT I own the Audiokinesis Jazz Modules and have heard them with the S-30 amp. I believe Duke even voiced them with the S-30. Atma-sphere amps have a high output impedance (the S-60 is 4.1 ohms). I think one of the reasons that Atma-sphere and Audioki... | |
| B and O Turntables On a business trip to St. Louis I visited a local authorized Tascam repair shop on the premise of buying a 1/2 track BR-20 reel to reel deck. The store also repairs many other brands of audio gear and upon a tour given to me by the owner stumbled ... | |
| Balanced to RCA adaptors If as you state the RCA input on the Levinson is also "balanced" I'd go with an RCA cable and avoid the adapters. If you do try the adapters and find you prefer the sound in this configuration versus straight RCA cable, you could always have a cus... | |
| N.E.W power amps I had the DCA-33 and replaced the batteries myself. Open the battery box and get the name and model number of the batteries. Digi Key will be able to supply replacements. Just draw a diagram of how they are wired up. I think it was about $150 to r... |
