| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD jwm, what your post for me? If so, I buy at dealers nearly all the time. Every now and then I will purchase used when I know who has the products I want and can't afford otherwise. I fully support local dealers. I do agree that the used market... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT The more I read this thread, the more motivated I am in selling my Treo's. First decent offer that comes, the Treo's will go to a good home and the Quatro's are on order! lol. Glad Richard is getting the second generation ready to take over the ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I"ll get the Ayre, but there is a short list of DAC's I'm going to want to try and listen to before I decide to keep it. Most will have to be used for me to afford, but with the every evolving world of digital, that shouldn't be a problem. Brica... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT Thanks for the post. Are you of the Atlanta variety? I agree with you about Richard. I only met Jim Thiel a couple of times, but he was a special cat that's for sure. You nailed the Vandy's to a tee. Some on the boards are tied into their speak... | |
| Vandersteen Treo in 24ftx22ft i.e 528sqft room? Yes, Johnny is the BEST. Just a good guy who love audio and does get it. So glad you are happy and ended up with him. It does make me feel good when folks read posts from many of us on here and end up making good purchases. | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade So glad you were able to pull that trigger. I know some keep thinking the 3's are better than the Treo's, but I just don't get that at all. I like the 3's and for the cost, they are like the others...a great value, but the Treo is not the same sp... | |
| Vandersteen Treo in 24ftx22ft i.e 528sqft room? Great post Hifiman. Congrats. I can't wait to sell mine to get the Quatro, lol. He just makes awesome speakers. They are all point source in how they play I feel. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Actually mtruong, it's ODSX. That's the name of Steve's newest DAC. Yes, I transposed two of the letters. sorry about that. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ketch, I wasn't able to send a PM. Didn't see how. Matt is sending my phone and email. Thanks. Looking forward.I've heard the DCS stacks a few times in various systems. They were very very good. I liked the Trinity a lot when I've heard it. Bet... | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive Congrats Jim. What I've noticed in the years with all good speakers are that they won't wow you necessarily, but give them time to get to know them. Often times it's what they don't do rather than what they the opposite. Just like some stores t... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Ketch, that thread is a bear for a novice like me. I don't fully understand what an optical network is and why I need it. I don't have any ethernet cable runs in the townhouse. My main system is on the second floor and my bedroom system is on th... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I liked the Trinity when I heard it, but honestly, it didn't blow me away as some of the higher price DAC's have. JMHO, but I have a friend who had one last year and sold it. Not even sure what he's running now, but it may the the full DCS stack... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thanks for sharing Matt. I knew how busy you have been and feel badly but you are doing special work for others and that's commendable in a BIG WAY.I too in recent days have been talked into Ethernet with Roon and possibly HQPlayer. Not to hijac... | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive Jim, I hear that from folks, but honestly, it's much larger than a foot or so. Everyone on the couch in my house enjoys them greatly. Like many great speakers, the sweet spot is smaller than others. There are always tradeoffs with any speaker b... | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive Jim, let me take a stab at the Vandy 1's vs Totem. For this price range Richard is using pretty expensive parts under those covers. That's been his whole deal starting with the 2's many years ago. The cones and drivers are derived from his more... |
