| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Morganc: Apparently you will soon have three very well regarded dacs in your possession. I'm interested to see what you think...Sibelius Just wondering...how many hours of burn in did you give the Metrum before selling it? | |
| PS Audio GCC 250 vs Wyred 4 sound STi500 Ducks2007: I'm thinking about purchasing a Wyred amp. I also like a low noise floor. May I ask what products you prefer the Wyreds over? Also, in which ways? | |
| Metrum Octave versus Eastern Electric DAC Wow Sibelius. After checking out the equipment in your system, I really am quite envious and hold your opinion regarding the EE/Metrum comparison in high regard. High efficiency speakers driven by low power tube amps is definitely my cup of tea. T... | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings Thanks 11flat6. Can't wait to investigate. | |
| Top 5 Classical recordings A a relative newbie to classical (about 7 years), I won't tell anyone what classical they should hear first, or top performances, etc. I will just list what classical music got me started:Chopin-nocturnes...Arthur Rubenstein.Korsakov-ScheherazadeB... | |
| Need at least 900wpc in 4ohm What's silly is a speaker which needs >500wpc. Steve Deckert has a slogan, "if the first watt sucks, why continue?" | |
| Why don't you like Mageplanar speakers? It seems to me that all of your ducks need to be in a row if you are to like Maggies. Meaning, issues that come into play are: amplification, location, aesthetics, etc. I only heard one pair of Maggies in my life and it was an awful experience, bu... | |
| Preamps waste of money? I have an Autoformer Tap X and an Lightspeed Attenuator. I would consider both the antithesis of "colored". | |
| Need at least 900wpc in 4ohm The more I'm thinking about this, the more I think it's absurd that a speaker needs 900 watts to sound good. Are you saying you have a speaker that needs 900 watts for the entire speaker, or just bass drivers? I'm not doubting the sound quality a ... | |
| Need at least 900wpc in 4ohm Sounds like what you need is a new pair of speakers. | |
| Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000 I am in no way saying that this cable is the only solution in your price range but in MY system, to MY ears, I've had great success with Crimson Cable. Cheap and incredible. Smoked Kimber Selects and Nordost Tyrs. | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Wait, is this really Pettyoficer? | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? The fastest way to destroy any and all credibility is to proclaim something you like to be the best. In your defense, you do say that this $42K system COMPETES with $200K systems. However, you think this is the ONLY $42K system that can, thus dest... | |
| Melody Gardot coming to Philly Just a word to anyone who may be on the fence about attending this show.....Her live shows are ten times better than her albums. She get's more creative. | |
| Melody Gardot coming to Philly Donjr: If you're looking for a place to eat on that night, check out the website for my new favorite place: R2L. It's on the 37th floor of Liberty Place with 360 degree views of the city. Actually, half of it is private dinning so guys like you an... |
