| Inverted phase preamps? I have a Cary SLP-98L and the manual specifically states to make the switch at the amp end. As for hearing a difference quality wise I don't know about that. I do know that on the live recordings I have made and play on my system that when the pha... | |
| what CD player between 1-2K I agree with Bigkidz in that you should look at DACs. In addition to up/oversampling DACs check out the non-os DACs as well. Audio Note if you like tubes and Audio Mirror ($550 new and a great value) if you don't prefer tubes are good choices. The... | |
| Anyone have experience with Running Springs Audio I use a PS Audio P300 for my sources and will continue to do so. However, I did some additonal research on this subject and decided I am going to buy the Haley for my amp. I currently use a Chang Lightspeed for the amp, but have been impressed wit... | |
| What is needed to have the best CD/Digital sound? I'm a tube person and until recently I believed a tube CDP/DAC was the way to go. Now after hearing and buying a solid state CDP used as a transport into a non-os DAC I've changed my mind. I still believe tubes are critical at the pre-amp and amp ... | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? Jes45,Well said Jack. While I am sure APL turns out some fine products, a couple of which I was intent on hearing, this whole campaign of theirs has left a bad taste in my mouth. Regardless of how well engineered their products are, I would have a... | |
| What's the "worst" cdp for the money? I'm not sure that what I'll be saying here is what I perceive to be the worst player for the money, but rather the least value for the price that I auditioned when I ugraded my digital components. Based on previous responses I will add a disclaime... | |
| Anybody could advise cables for my system......... My recent upgrade of interconnects and speaker cable resulted in Nordost Red Dawn interconnects and Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 Veracity speaker cables. It was a close call between the Goertz and the Speltz Anti-Cables. Both are exceptional deals. | |
| Tube Amp For Mid/Hi Look into the Cary V12 or V12i. They are around 2k used. Runs triode (50w), ultralinear (100w) and two-thirds triode. I can get mine pretty loud if I want to. You can also swap the EL-34s for KT-88s and play with the sound that way. Has a high inp... | |
| Benchmark DAC-1 vs. Bel Canto DAC-2 Before I decided to purchase a non-os DAC (Audio Mirror at half the price and twice the performance of either of these) the Benchmark was my choice and I did listen to the Bel Canto as well. The Benchmark was smoother in many respects and I got to... | |
| Are most DAC's compatible w computers? Perhaps this is getting off the topic, but all I want to accomplish is sending WAV or FLAC files from my computer to my Alesis ML9600 HD. I download a lot of digital soundboards and instead of burning them to a CD then playing or uploading them on... | |
| WBT vs Eichmann I purchased the WBT Nextgen connector with the VH Audio Pulsar digital cable and it exhibits no brittleness at all. I do agree that the ease-of-use of WBTs leaves something to be desired, but I'll live with it for now. | |
| Dedicate Cd player help You should check out the TRL Sony 595. For about $700 you'll get a very musical CD. Check out the thread about it here and the 6moons review. | |
| Warmest solid-state integrated for under $2k The Vincent line is available in the states, but not extensively. I know that Audio Unlimited in Denver, CO carries the line and they are high on them considering the price. I have done business with this dealer when I lived in Denver so I can vou... | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? 711smilin,I cannot proclaim to be an expert on the TRL Sony 595 because I do not own one. However, your claims that TRL uses fairy paste might be a bit exaggerated don't you think?I had extensive conversations with Paul about the mods done to my A... | |
| Cary Preamps Linnlp12,What brand of teflon caps did you install? Also, what tubes are you using? |
