| Silverline Minuet "Supreme" I think an obvious hint would be that the supreme version has real wood veneer whereas the earlier ones had vinyl covered cabinets.Perhaps system matching is important, as may of the compliments praise the bass and volume of sound coming from such... | |
| Silverline Minuet "Supreme" WilliamThank you, a tough call. I have not yet heard them, but the P3SERs sound like they would be consistent with my tastes, at least according to what I read. What I perceive and like reading about the Minuets, however, is more sincerity than hy... | |
| Silverline Minuet "Supreme" JgiacaloSounds like another strong recommendation!In the spirit of the New Year, I am reluctantly toying with the idea of smaller, lighter equipment so I do look forward to hearing the Minuets. | |
| Hall of Fame: BIGGEST BADDEST Monster Amps The Sanders may have high power (and current?) but it otherwise doesn't strike me as particularly BIG or BAD.But I hear it's a good amp, especially for Magneplanars. | |
| AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping Kbarkamian,Thank you - so everything downloaded from the iTunes store is MP3?Re "buy the CD" do you mean the actual, physical CD - as in buy it somewhere else? | |
| AIFF vs Apple Lossless Ripping As an update, can any iTunes users comment on the latest version of iTunes and best options for audiophiles, please?I like the convenience of the iTunes store and the selection seems to be getting even better with the Beatles, etc.However, I do no... | |
| Not so Easy to Skip the Preamp? Ojgalli,OK so I checked the Behringer and it was perfectly fine, and sounded surprisingly good. In fact, I did another A/B vs a Bryston amp and at least at pre clipping levels, there was no obvious winner. Thanks God I paid < $500 for the Bryst... | |
| Best Garage or Workshop Design for Audio Gear My garage currently would cryogenically treat any components.Jedinite, yes, that looks pretty nifty.As I am in the midst of disassembling and reviewing several systems as seen in my WAF system link, I am reminded of how difficult it can be to craw... | |
| Gremlins Emerge with Switch to Windows 7 Elizabeth,I like to have everything on one machine, and as a frequent participant in the forums, you should know that "audiophiles" often have a compulsion to buy and configure new hardware whether or not an older device works properly. In additio... | |
| Gremlins Emerge with Switch to Windows 7 Al,Thank you and I know you are very good on this topic.I will do more testing, but for starters, I just turned on Pandora, which I use with a Pandora One subscription for higher resolution.And yes, I did immediately unplug the AC adapter, wonderi... | |
| HiFiMAN HM-602 Portable music player Now there is also a Hifiman 601 for < $300.Has anyone tried these players?I would also like to abandon the iPod for better fidelity.I wonder, however, how the Hifiman handles files?Will it be simple enough to "drag and drop" from iTunes folders... | |

| Not so Easy to Skip the Preamp? Oh...full disclosure....As I was hoping to A/B compare this system with a leaner, meaner (?) Hagtech interface straight into the Audio Research DAC, I did not switch out the Behringer amp as that is what I am using in my other desktop system.So I ... | |
| Not so Easy to Skip the Preamp? 4estOne of the reasons I thought I could get away with no preamp is because the Behringer has volume controls for each channel.CBW723Yes, it sounded so bad that I switched out the monitors, then made sure I was using the same cables and everything... | |
