| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. After many years of reliable service, my AMR CD-77 CDP, with its anachronistic TDA 1541A DAC, finally stopped outputting sound. Not sure what the issue is, but repairs for it would be impractical. Thus, I decided to pick up another old-school DA... | |
| Am I in the minority? My intent wasn't to debate which format was better, although we all know which one sounds the best. Hint: it doesn't involve 1's and 0's. I was merely expressing my preference for physical media instead of computer files. I think my music sounds j... | |
| Am I in the minority? I agree with you that vinyl for me would easily be my first choice, but when music isn't available on vinyl, I would rather put an actual CD into the CD player than select it on iTunes. Must be my nostalgic side. | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Ayre C-5xeMP universal player | |
| Best Used Record Shops- Phoenix Area Definitely Revolver Records on 3rd Street and Roosevelt. Another good one is Tracks in Wax on Central just south of Camelback Road. | |
| Are there taxes from items purchased in the UK? Thanks for the responses, guys. To give a little more detail, the speakers here in the US costs $16,000 + sales tax + shipping. From the UK, they would be $10,900 (including shipping). What do you think? I'm hesitant at all the hidden costs that m... | |
| Lossless Ipod question You have to re-rip if you want the music to be in a lossless format. It is possible to go from lossless to AAC format, but not vice-versa. Sorry.- Doc | |
| Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording? Abba's Greatest Hits. Shhhh, don't tell the wife.- Doc | |
| The VPI Rim Drive Don't forget about Tracks in Wax on Central just south of Camelback in Phoenix.Remember, it's a dry heat. :)- Doc | |
| Which arm best for SME30-2? I have a 20/2 with a SME V arm. Not to hijack the thread, but is the difference between the older and newer power supplies that great? I have the older supply and was wondering whether I should upgrade. Again, my apologies to Jskg. :)- Doc | |
| Shorter or longer ICs? Thanks, all. Look like the consensus is longer IC and shorter speaker cables. I have tube mono amps, BTW.- Doc | |
| Omega speakers I had a pair of 602S3 which I really liked, but wanted to try something new. I'm still looking for a good SET integrated amp to match with the Omegas. | |
| Best of Home Entertainment 2004 NY ? I think overall the show was a success. To me, the best room (with $200,000 worth of equipment) was the JMlabs/BAT/dCS room. The demo with James Taylor on SACD gave me goose bumps. Anybody know which JT song was used?My only complaint was the smal... | |
| Top 3 Best Sounding Room In The HE Show 04' I just came back from the show. My vote goes towards the JM Labs/BAT/dCS room. | |
| LP storage? What do you use? I like to use the Qbit modular system, which can be bought cheaply at Target stores and arranged in numerous different ways. I have a picture of them in my system's page. -Doc |
