| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks to all for your advice on drives etc....Steve has gone above and beyond helping me out. I finally got the server up and working today with the DAC. I don't have the short block yet as Steve has to make it. I still have to burn everything in... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I am going to use the external drive. I"ll just drag and drop files from my larger external HD to the smaller SSD internal drive to play. What are some of the names of the external HD's you guys are using and liking. I just assumed a Raid set up w... | |
| Increase price for Vandersteens JOhnny has given the real info in this thread. String, what do you mean 'real'? Guys, he's raised his prices a bit as need and then he's come out with his carbon technology speakers and used that to raise prices, but he's giving incredible value f... | |
| Increase price for Vandersteens Well played Knghifi. When I see what Richard has done and how he's priced things along the years I'm amazed. He knew the upscale market was growing and his ownership of the lower priced market wasn't going to let him live, so he shifted upscale. N... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Steve, thanks, I'm going to look for it right now and going to get that DVI cable today so that I can get the server up and running. I'll call when I'm all set and in front of things. Also need to buy a HD unit today too so that I may start to rip... | |
| Entry level Phono Stage for Dynavector 10x5 Yea the Curl is a nice design. Very clean. Honestly though I have put my Heed up against most of the 3k and under and although the more expensive ones have a bigger stage and more bass (usually), it's not by much and the price difference is so gre... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD GUys, I speced out a MV server, however based on what Steve said, I went the less expensive route with the mac mini, 2009 and Hyenes power supply. I gets here in a few hours and I can't wait to finally hear my new/used OSDE with server. It will be... | |
| Increase price for Vandersteens Wow, that's interesting since shipping alone has gone up a lot with the gas surcharges since 09 and I know that factors into things this large too. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I personally have never liked the Thiel speakers and yes every time I've heard them they hurt my ears. Sorry to disappoint you. I've heard them many times over the years in various stores. They've been played with Krell, Peachtree, Classe, NAD Mas... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Labtec, I think most of us who have been around this for years agree with you, however on a thread like this of fun, you typically assume that folks are feeding the top speakers a top signal. I would disagree that a great speaker will sound like t... | |
| Increase price for Vandersteens Jafant, IRT Richard, he's been in the business as long as nearly anyone left. He's known for bringing some of the best bargains to the history of audio. Most of his increases are minimal for the less expensive speakers. HE's learned what trade off... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT I too have heard them all at Johnnys....Tonyjack is dead on! I've been to 5 other Vandy dealers and they were all good, but not great. I drove 3 hours to get to Johnny's. I do wish he was closer as it's tough for me to get down there, but they are... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Mitch, did you use a remote app to run your mac mojo? Did you use Amarra or another? Thanks. | |
| Increase price for Vandersteens Thanks Johnny for clearing that up. I've listened to so many speakers, systems, amps, servers, DACS, cables....well, you all get the pic. Since I decided to sell off all my old stuff and start anew, I've learned so much. I too love what Richard do... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Ruf, I got the ceramic version as the CT's were JUST announced when I got mine. I love them and have been working on other parts of my system. Eventually I may or may not upgrade the speakers, but I don't miss that much. The CT's are more detailed... |
