| NON OS DACS Nodaker,I have 2 D1's and sent one off to TRL to be modified. The early results after about 50 hours of burn in time are amazing. I can't wait until it completely burns in (500 hours). If you have $550 to spend I highly suggest the upgrade. Otherw... | |
| Isolation Devices, Something to put on top of unit Take a ziplock freezer bag and fill it with sand. Lay it on top of the unit. You can add or remove sand to tune the sound as needed. If you are worried about how the bag looks on top of the unit, get a nice cigar box and pace the bag of sand in th... | |
| NON OS DACS When I was looking to replace my Quad-77 with a new digital set-up I decided to go to separates. After reading about non-os type DACs (Audio Note and Sakura Systems have great information on the non-os design concepts)I decided to take the plunge ... | |
| Demagnatizing a ZYX Cartridge My Benz Aethetix demag suggests trying multiple passes and I have in the past with a Glider and some Grado cartridges without harm. However, after reading this thread I'm not so sure this device is what I should continue to use in the future. I no... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 Go for it. I just got my Audio Mirror DAC back from TRL and combined with my TRL Alesis ML9600 transport I have noticed a huge improvement in clarity right out of the box. While it is a bit lean right now as the DAC, as well as the CRL digital cab... | |

| Anyone compared Whest Audio with Manley Steelhead? I agree with Judy. An odd comparison to say the least. I have a Whest and am in the process of comparing it to a Hagerman Trumpet which just arrived. I'd like to compare it to a Steelhead but that unit is a bit rich for my wallet. | |
| kuzma stogi Raul,Regarding the Hadcock, it was something I ran across in my research (here on Audiogon) as I was looking for information on Schroeder tonearms. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with the statement and as you have read in my post I have already d... | |
| best turntable under $5k I heard the Galibier a couple weeks ago in their listening room. It was the $5500 model with a Shroeder Reference tonearm and a ZYX cartridge (not sure of the model). The phono stage was a Hagerman Trumpet that we rotated a few step-up transformer... | |
| kuzma stogi I have a Kuzma Stogi and I have used Benz cartridges on it for as long as I have had it. I now have a Benz M2 (M0.9) wood body on it and it mates well. The arm is used with a Sota Nova Series V TT with the Cosmos armboard. As for comparisons, if I... | |
| best turntable under $5k Another vote for SOTA. I have the Nova Series V with a Kuzma Stogi tonearm. This combo is around your price range new. Using a Graham or Shroeder Model 2 will take you a little higher but is worth the upgrade I'm told. I'm considering the Model 2 ... | |
| Jolida CDP question Brownsfan,Good points on the non-upsampling filterless DAC designs. I have two Audio Mirrors and they have both been great to listen to, not to mention one of the best investments I have made in this hobby. I sent one off to TRL to be modded and i... | |
| Mid-priced warm sounding DAC? Im all ears,I plan on doing a review of the of the TRL vs. stock Audio Mirror. I will eventually post my impressions of the Poth vs. stock Audio Mirror as well. It may be awhile, as I'm in the process of also comparing numerous phono stages, but i... | |
| Mid-priced warm sounding DAC? There was a thread here recently that was removed regarding the similarities between the Poth and Audio Mirror. The owner of Audio Mirror posted a response similar to what was said on the head-fi thread. I have two of the Audio Mirror units, one t... |
