| Jolida J100, Shanling CDT100, or 640C with DAC? Aball,The two Jolida JD-100s I tested had stock and Svetlana tubes. I know from reading the threads these aren't necessarily the best, but I took that into consideration in comparing the player to the D1. I had the Sim here at the same time and th... | |
| audio mirror dac Robm321,You don't want to know what I'm doing next with htis set up.B18c96specr has the right idea. HD storage and computer based playback are on the way. Have laptop will transport. I will be freeing up about 100 sq. ft. of space once I load ever... | |
| Can HI FI components really make music? Get the Bose, and with the money you save you can attend a lot of live performances. On a more serious note, I like the way music sounds live myself. I'm always seeking that type of ambience in the sound of my system. I have several DAT recordings... | |
| audio mirror dac I am using a TRL modified Alesis ML9600. It is actually a CDP, CD-R, and HD storage system used in professional recording (2 channel). It has a lot of mixing and editing features. I use the digital stage only as this is where the mods were done. S... | |
| Jolida J100, Shanling CDT100, or 640C with DAC? Entrope,Very good thought and one that influenced my decision. There is such a thing as too much warmth. | |
| The Cable Company - Wow I'm still wondering why after speaking to them and giving them all the information they requested it's been 2 weeks since they told me they would get back to me. Business is either booming or I'm dealing with one of the less than spirited employee... | |
| Jolida J100, Shanling CDT100, or 640C with DAC? Aball,We're probably talking apples and oranges here but assuming that a good digital cable is used with good PCs for the 640c and Audio Mirror, I would venture to say that set up would best the Jolida. Maybe not by a lot depending on other system... | |
| 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. |
