| music server setup questions I'm sure I'm being thick here, but Mapman why have the squeezebox and the network in between the computer and the dac when I can just connect the computer directly to the dac? Is there some advantage to doing that? Thanks. -Dave | |
| music server setup questions Thanks for the responses so far. I actually have a logitech squeezebox I got a couple years ago with the intent to set up a system but never did. I got it because the computer with the music stored was going to be far away from the rest of the sys... | |
| Which Cayin CD player for A50T If I can get the 23 for not much more than the 50, is that a good idea or is the money better spent on something like tube rolling or cabling? Thanks. -Dave | |
| Which Cayin CD player for A50T To clarify - I'm looking for a CD player that was designed to mesh with this amp. A couple people have back-channeled me offering me newer Cayin CD players that are more expensive and may not have been designed to go with the A 50T integrated. I a... | |
| Help My Rel has gone berserk Hey, didn't notice your repsonse until today. I thought the thread had died. When you say amplifier box, do you mean connecting the ground wire to the amp chassis rather than an output terminal? I'm not quite following you. Please clarify. Thanks.... | |
| Help My Rel has gone berserk I haven't tried pulling the low connector out. However, this is NOT how they all work - this particularly unit didn't work like this until recently. It used to work fine, but I had it off for quite some time, so I'm wondering if I'm not rememberin... | |
| How much tube power for Totem Arros small room? I will ask Vince, thanks for that advice. I'm also looking for some advice from consumers. Thanks. -Dave | |
| Cables for Totem, Bryston, Adcom, Rega I've used the cable company before with good success. I was hoping to have some feedback and recommendations from agon members as well. Jgiacalo - have you used JPS Labs cables with this equipment before? Thanks. -Dave | |
| Best speakers small room off center Jgiacalo - thanks for your response. The VR2s for sale are pick up only in Virginia and I'm in Boston (and none on ebay). Do you know if other Von Schweikerts are similarly suitable for this setup?Dwhitt - do you specifically have experience with ... | |
| Please suggest good balanced Preamp I use a Simaudio P5 which fits your criteria. It's a bit dry for me (looking to go tube myself), but it is very quiet, very transparent, fully balanced, and has a good remote (though the remote is ridiculously heavy). You may even be able to move ... | |
| How much room for Magnepan 1.6qr? Are the MMGs more flexible in terms of room placement? I get the idea that they are smaller, but is it still the same problem if they are too close to the back and/or side walls? I don't really think I'd get a subwoofer no matter what speakers I'm... | |
| How much room for Magnepan 1.6qr? Thanks for the responses so far. I want to make sure I understand what you all are saying. When you say, "they'll sound fine," are you saying that it won't sound bad, but won't really come close to what these speakers can do, or are you saying tha... | |
| Which tube preamp meets all these needs? I suppose I can be a BIT flexible on #5 if that opens up the options. However, I'm confused by the BAT responders. The vk5i has a unity gain, I think, which is an HT bypass. However, I thought that the Bat vk3ix remote did not have source switchin... | |
| Silent Subwoofers ie: Buttkicker -your thoughts? It felt to me like the imax theatre at jordan's in massachusetts was using somethign like this. the seats would shake a lot, often when there was no associated bass sound, and the time was slightly off. i was with a bunch of people, none of whom a... | |
| Is unity gain a real HT bypass? That all sounds reasonable. If anyone has tried this specifically, I'd like to know the results. BTW, what do you all think of this particular equipment match - the bat vk5i with theta front end and amp, snell c/v speakers. Current preamp is a sim... |
