| Shun Mook Record Weight The only weight I have tried is the Shun Mook, but the small, not the large weight. As I am sure you know, the company made 2 weights. I think it does work, not night and day, but I definitely prefer it. Is the benefit worth the full retail price?... | |
| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl I agree with Viridian, the problem for me is availabilty. If you have a niche interest, where some of the great recordings may never have reached digital. Jazz I suppose , is the example that springs to mind. For Me, it is Opera. Some of the great... | |
| Bybee speaker cables? Thanks for that Alex, I will | |
| Which companies deserve a star for Christmas It's pretty obvious that a lot of the replies mention dealers and small manufacturers. I am sure that is'nt a coincidence. When your dealing with the head honcho, you get a quick, knowledgeable reply. Larger companies with separate customer suppor... | |
| Can best optical player rival best computer source Tbg I agree with you, I am not advocating buying any of the expensive players, I can't afford them either. The point was that the consensus I have picked up, is that discless digital is'nt yet up to competing with the very best disc players. It is... | |
| Can best optical player rival best computer source I'm looking into hard disc based digital myself. Having talked to a few people, had a personal reply to my query from the editor of HiFi+, which was nice of him and been to demos, this seems to be my current take on it and the people I have spoken... | |
| Anyone have experience with Olive 06HD? By chance, I went to a streaming demo at my local store last weekend. They had the Naim HDX and the Olive 06 and 04. Firstly, I'm afraid, the 06 is way ahead of the 04 in sound quality, greater detail and bigger sound stage. The Naim HDX was compa... | |
| Is there one item you have been wishing for? That's the point about a wish list, you don't have to pay for it. Dreaming costs nothing, so deam away. | |
| Too many DAC decisions abruce You advocate the Mach2mini over a stanard Mac mini. I presume because you have heard a sound advantage over an off the shelf computer. Can you give some idea of how big and what differences there are? Sorry to push into the thread with my q... | |
| cd player or computer with dac This thread sums up the dilemma for many of us considering moving from CD player to hard drive/DAC. There seems to be no agreement at all on where we are with the development of discless digital. This comes down to the basic question. Are we yet a... | |
| Top 10 Snafus to avoid when building a good rig Not knowing when you've finished. Related to that, forgetting any change will change the sound of your system and different is'nt better. It seems very hard for all of us, to say "I'm done now, that's the sound I was looking for" The commoner resp... | |
| PSU upgrade for TW AC 1 I just raised this issue with the UK importer, who is a very reliable source of information. He said the UK price of the Black Knight PSU was about £3000 and felt the improvement, which there would certainly be, was doubtful against the cost. This... | |
| Power Cords--Your Preference? I have used a number in my time, most second hand, Ridge street Alethias and Poema, Audience A24 and Nordost Valhalla. My current 2 favourites, which I feel are equally good, but different, Lessloss DPFC origonal version, Sablon audio Robusto. I o... | |
| Biggest impact on you? So difficult to pick one item, but I think it would be the Koetsu Rosewood Signature cartridge I had for 4 years. Really made vinyl come alive for me. Unfortunately, my current arm is a poor compliance match with Koetsu's, so I can't get another, ... | |
| Music Server VS Laptop Can anyone advise on Backup. For me, the main consideration is not to lose my treasured music on CD. If I do go the Music server PC route, I will get rid of my CDs. Is it possible to say there are differences in making Bit perfect backups with the... |
