| Buzz/Hum from Cary SLI-80 Best thing to do first to be sure it is the Cary is to disconnect all components from it and plug it into the wall (if you have done this already my apologies). Is the hum still there? If yes then it is the Cary, if no, something further up the ch... | |
| Squeeze Box upgrades Try www.etree.org. There are some links to free tools there I use. EAC to rip the CD to the HD, then a WAV to FLAC conversion tool. If there is something free-er and easier than that I'm interested in hearing about it too. | |
| To Aesthetix users I applaude you efforts to try and resolve an issue as frustrating as this. I had a similar problem with another phonostage that tested my patience thoroughly. Buzz and hum were prevalent in both channels and after several experiments with cables a... | |
| Squeeze Box upgrades Steve Nugent at Emprical Audio informed me that he would do a Squeezebox mod as well when I was inquiring about some other things I was considering. You will have to contact him for information directly as there is nothing on his website about the... | |
| pre amp to pair with vtl 750s As for matching a preamp to an amp, I've always looked at impedance specs, but lately, I have also come to the conclusion that sensitivity and the gain in the amp are important as well. Typically, I have heard that if the input impedance of the am... | |
| Has anyone heard the modified TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V The one that I heard at Brian Kyle's house was the very first one modified, the prototype made for the CES show. Since then the mod has been refined even further, to now include a battery supply option (additional cost). If the prototype sounds as... | |
| "Warm" sounding digital interconncect Cable Research Labs digital cable works for me and has the qualities you are looking for. Mine is terminated with Bocchino ends, but they use Cardas (or any other type you may prefer) as well. CRL is part of the Tube Research Labs family and was f... | |
| Review: TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V SACD/CDP CD Player Brian,Good point about the Redbook versus SACD. We both heard it the same way today. I'll be sure to do the same comparisons in my system with the CDs you burned for me. | |
| Has anyone heard the modified TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V I have heard the unit twice at Brian Kyle's house and have one coming to me that will have the battery power supply mod. This is an extremely musical player. It is well worth an audition especially since it is at no-risk with the TRL guarantee. I ... | |
| Review: TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V SACD/CDP CD Player Steve, Making a mountain out of a mole hill aren't you. It's pretty clear to me that Brian likes the TRL unit as a result of his experience with it at CES, where a RAM player was present in the same system (not his as you point out, but all things... | |
| Review: TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V SACD/CDP CD Player Nice review Brian. Having heard the 900 in your system, I agree with many of the points you made. I'm looking forward to our visit today to hear the unit again. When I get mine back I'll post my thoughts as well since I will have the version with ... | |
| DAC to Amps bypassing preamp: Opinions please Probably above your price range, but George Mark Audio has a DAC/linestage which includes a true preamp linestage as well as the DAC processor. You could bypass the linestage if you like, although I don't know why you would do that if you're goint... | |
| Heard a SOTA and I am pumped to get mine goin Great news Chadnliz. Keep it spinning. | |
| How to convert lps to CD? 4yanx,I purchased my Alesis already modified so I have no way of being able to tell you how it sounds versus the stock unit. Based on what information I gathered from TRL, most of the mods were done on the digital side. There were some mods on the... | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? Spencer,The website price has always been $999 for as long as I've known. Here on Audiogon the ads have been listing the D2 (latest version) for $549 OBO. The D1 was $499. If you decide to order one email Vlad and make him an offer based on the Au... |
