| audio mirror dac No problem Robm321. Now go get you one ;) | |
| Jolida J100, Shanling CDT100, or 640C with DAC? It's a tough call between 3 and 4. There is a soft spot in my heart for the Sim, but the Audio Mirror DAC has been an excellent companion to my Alesis CDP which I am using as a transport. Option 4 will save you some money. As a side note. I'm a bi... | |
| audio mirror dac Robm321,That is MSRP and perhaps what he may be charging for the DAC eventually. It is certainly worth more than that in my opinion. However, on Audiogon the DAC is $499:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?dgtlconv&1124903077 | |
| which cables for my system? I considered the AntiCables before settling on the Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 cables. They have a 30 day trial period so it may be worth looking into along with others you're considering. For the money these are great cables. I also have the VH Audio ... | |
| audio mirror dac Dennis,Good comments on your comparisons. Obviously we have to allow for overall system differences when we make our observations. I will say this about the Benchmark, had I gone with an oversampling DAC it would have been my choice. Compared to t... | |
| audio mirror dac Dennis,Your observations are interesting. I compared the Audio Mirror D1 directly within my system to the Benchmark DAC 1 and 47 Labs Shigaraki. Indirectly via audition to the Audio Note 2.1x and and Bel Canto 2. One of my concerns about the Audio... | |
| audio mirror dac Mooch2000,Which cables are you using? I have the VH Audion Pulsar coaxial IC and VH Flavor 4 PC. I'd be interested to know what is working for you.I totally agree with your assessment as well. One of my best purchases. | |
| Spendor SP 2/3 Amplifier Load I'm using a Cary V12i with my Spendor 1/2s and at 50 watts triode they're doing just fine. Before that I had the 7/1s which are the floor standing version of the 2/3s and no problems there either. | |
| Cambridge Audio 640C... I want to upgrade You have lots of choices here. I considered the Cary 308T as well as the Sim Audio Moon Equinox, which if you are patient turns up for around $1300 - $1400 used. New Quad 99s are in your price range and have been recommended by a lot of folks.The ... | |
| What's the "worst" cdp for the money? Douglas,I totally agree on your assessment of Nakamichi. I still own several of their tape decks including a 680ZX and 2 550s (one for parts). They were well ahead of their time in analog sound reproduction. I never owned one of their CDPs as I th... | |
| Help with next CDP upgrade... CEC makes a nice belt driven transport in the $1200 range that would work well with your DAC. I gave it top consideration before going in a different direction. I'm thinking of revisiting it just for varieties sake and to have another transport op... | |
| Tube preamp with great pace?Cary, Supratek, etc.? Newmanoc,No headphone out. | |
| Tube preamp with great pace?Cary, Supratek, etc.? Kek23,What tubes are you using in the SLP-98L? I bought mine about a month ago and got rid of the stock Chinese. I'm running cryoed Sylvania 6SN7Ws in the linestage and cryoed Sylvania 6SN7GTBs in the buffer. I've tried some other NOS combinations... | |
| Any opinions on PS Audio Power Plants Stevecham,How complicated is it to install the Pabst fan. Is there a particular model you recommend? | |
| Any opinions on PS Audio Power Plants Elberoth2,You said:"I have called PS Audio and was informed, that you can safely disconect the fan, unless the power meter on P-300 doesn't read above 100W."The power meter on mine in Sin wave mode barely goes over 60W. Even now as it is running w... |
