| Looking for a new pre-amp!! Back in the day, I had two OCM 200's used as monoblocs (Used the xlr input). I was using an OCM 88 preamp which was a superb combo. Only issue was the step values on the remote volume control. I believe it was 1 db which I felt was too large.Livin... | |
| Dac to remove Digital Glare/ edge I use an Electrocompaniet ECD-1 dac. It up samples everything to 24/192. Very smooth non traditional digital sound even on the material you questioned. Makes it very listenable. Used with a Empirical Audio coax digital cable ( a very under rated p... | |
| Toslink cables...do they make a difference? Not trying to solicit you to buy.But I have three toslinks available. One from Unique Products(1 mtr.), one from Kimber Opt 1 (2 mtr.),and one Audioquest Vodka (.75mtr). They sound completely different from each other with the Unique being very de... | |
| aes / ebu digital cable choices Rodman,I spoke with Kimber and Wireworld reps regarding ideal cable length and possible data reflections .Both stated it was not an issue.Just buy the length you need. I don't what you heard.People hear what they hear. Just passing out their comme... | |
| aes / ebu digital cable choices By the lack of replies, am I to assume no one is using aes / ebu cables as their main digital link? I was really hoping to get some useful information / opinions. Den | |

| Speaker Cable Questions I'm using (2) 25 ft.stereo prs. of Kimber 8vs which are 9ga. with my Vandersteens with great success.Reasonably priced as well.I think both prs. ran in the $1100.00 neighborhood. Ckeck with Johnny R in Verona,NJ for current pricing. | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade I had Vandy 3A's for a number of years.Then bought new 3A Sigs which I've had for five years now.I've heard the Treos twice at two different dealers, set up properly at both with reference level electronics at both.My opinion mirrors yours.I defin... | |
| A-B testing of cables Fwiw,I have Mac stuff C50 pre.501 monos.I recently installed Signal Cable silver reference balanced ic's between pre/pwr combo and dac/ pre combo,and never looked back.There may be better cables out there,but at their price point plus 30 day trial... | |
| Coupling Banana Plugs Monster used to have a model banana plug called the Exterminator that had a hole on its rear to piggyback another banana plug.I still have some,but they aren't for sale. | |
| Floorstanders for $3500 You might want to throw Golden Ear Triton 2's into the mix.Depending on the sound you're looking for,you may be very impressed.Imho at least worth a listen. You can also include Vandersteen 2's and 3's.I own 3A Signatures. Den | |
| Moving to a dynamic speaker from a Electrostatic I'd suggest you give the Golden Ear Triton model One's a listen.I heard them this past Saturday and came away very impressed.IMHO they really do it all.At a msrp of $5000.00 nothing I believe can compare.When I have the funds,I'm buying a pair. | |
| Auio Research I own the Mac C-50. I love it.The internal dac according to McIntosh upsamples everything to 32/192 which I find is inferior to my Wadia X-64 dac.The Mac imho loses high and low frequency details Sounds very soft almost veiled.But it does excel in... | |
| Review: Salk Sound SoundScape 8 Speaker Hi,After reading your great review of these speakers, I'm surprized to see you're selling them.What happened ? What are you going to replace them with. If I had the financial means,I'd problably buy your pair. | |
