| Benchmark VS older ultrahigh end dac's in these... I suggest you take Steve Nugent's "Spoiler" USB tubed DAC, clocked with his "Pacecar" into account and discussion here. As far as sound staging, width as well as depth, is concerned it has bettered in conjunction with a dedicated laptop both the D... | |
| most accurate loudspeakers.... I completely agree with Donald. You cannot have both and I prefer the first possibility he's mentioned. I would only add the old Quads to his Sound Labs.Cheers, | |
| Quad ESL 57 are there better speakers out there?? Congratulations. For purity of sound, naturalness and their inherent musicality Walkers masterpiece is hard to beat unless you wish to listen at high SPLs. The next step would indeed be to stack them, putting them "head to head" in a nice sturdy w... | |

| music , mind , thought and emotion Bin, the passion is still there, but as the years pass by, you learn to rather cherish quietly, privately, because you've learnt, that words fall short to describe what music can do to and for you. It is in the exuberance of discovery that you spe... | |

| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Could it be possible that not only quality recording is dying, as suggested above, but also quality music is dying?Just wondering.... | |
| Music to make you laugh by Please lets get back to the actual meaning of my topic. I didn't mean funny lyrics or anything like that, but the musical content just by itself. Marty, I think had a good point here, as well as Katharina and Mrtennis. Zappa, apart from his bawdy ... | |
| Living Stereo sound bad? Don't touch the Dynagrooves. Preferably try to get Living Stereos mastered by Layton and Mohr. (Lt Kije, Song of the Nightingale, Scheherezade et al )Cheers | |
| Voltage conversion for Perreaux 350P? Yea, but with him its the other way round.... | |
| Power cords on Quad 988 or 2805 I did it (988) with all sorts of wires, since I loved to experiment and tweak, but was not impressed.Cheers, | |
| Voltage conversion for Perreaux 350P? Well, actually it should be a step-UP transformer, but these are generally inefficient and ruin the sound. The Perreaux people in NZ say, that such a conversion could be done, but only through qualified personel. This often entails the un- and the... | |
| Wires for a Jolida JD 1000RC and Selah Audio SA-1 Thanks T bone for pointing me to this thread, where obviously some of the best and imaginative brains here have been at work. I think I'll have a try at Greg's idea with magnet wire, also for ICs and yes, the Mog has turned out to be a perfect ch... |
