| Using Japan 100V Accuphase amp in US 120V. Safe? Accuphase units made before 2002 can be converted internally to 100/120/220/240V. Just check the bottom side of the unit (you have to remove the bottom plate first). | |
| power amplifiers with ICEpower module What is your opinion regarding the NuForce vs ICEpower or UcD module? The ICEpower based Bel Canto Design Reference One amps have got a rave review by John Potis of 6moons recently. I'm wondering if the somewhat lean sound of an ICEpower amp is in... | |
| Bologna OR Baloney How does this work? Please fee Rapogee, if you believe in cable lifters, you can also make lifters from Lego pieces. You can choose your own colour and shape of the lifters. It is not expensive and it is fun to do. At last there is some audio gadget that is child safe. I know a... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Mike, in the context of reference DACs, that means no compromise DACs, I have to say that, albeit a steady improvement in red book CD technology, the differences between those reference DACs (from 1992-today) are not very large compared to differe... | |
| to replace or not to replace accuphase DAC I'm thinking of the following options:1. To replace my DAC with Reimyo DAP-777 or Accustic Arts DAC2. To replace my transport/DAC.3. To go for harddisk based music server.4. Or not replace anything.Chris | |
| to replace or not to replace accuphase DAC Thanks for your response Fernando. Which CDP's did you hear other than the Accuphase? What was the crucial factor for your decision to keep the DP-55V?Chris | |
| Very short speaker cable length recommended? Which arguments do some experts have for stating that a longer speaker cable (8 feet and longer) is better than a shorter one? In digital interconnects 1.5 m seem to be the minimum length, due to signal relections within the cable, but with speake... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective To me all the contemporary reference DACs are more similar than different, whether non oversampling or over- and upsampling technologies are being applied. With each new generation DAC there is a small improvement, which is often not worth the cos... | |
| Ear Master One by Accoustic Reality Hi Rnik, could you describe more precisely what is missing? Do you have trouble with deep bass do you want more midrange fullness? I think one of the characteristics of the eAR 1001 is the capability to deliver abysmal bass. I can say this because... | |
| $1000 used amp. What can I buy? Dale, what do you think of the Acoustic Reality (eAR) 202 ICEpower amp (($600US new)?Chris | |
| "Warm" sounding digital interconncect Mike, the Gold Eclipse II.Chris | |
| "Warm" sounding digital interconncect Mike, in my opinion the PAD is a bit too laid back, while the Wireworld has a more lively and less laid back presentation. It is not too forward. My analog rig sounds more forward than the digital rig, including the Wireworld. If there is an inter... | |
| "Warm" sounding digital interconncect Thank you all for your input. As stated, I'm using the Wireworld Gold Eclipse currently, but I'll try another digital interconnect in due time.Chris | |
| Are Accuphase preamps "dull" sounding ? I think Accuphase products are excellent. The units are well built using the best parts and there is a strong quality control. These result in very high reliability of the units. The people are quite conservative, yes, but they also know what good... | |
| cable upgrades , real or rip off I'm selling my Purist Audio Dominus AES/EBU digital cable now. It is a very good cable, but I think the Wireworld Gold Starlight, which I also own (which cost much cheaper than the PAD!) has more PRaT and sounds more lively (less laid back). It is... |
