| Good, cheap power cord/interconnect for subwoofer PNF Audio. Fantastic value for money. I like the PS Audio power cords as well. | |
| Do you need a DAC for internet radio only? To my ears, yes it is, as long as the internet source has a high enough bit stream. If you're listening to stations that are broadcasting at about 64kbps or below, then quite honestly, nothing will help much. However, when you get into higher spee... | |
| Do you need a DAC for internet radio only? I love my Squeezebox and use it to serve up all of my ripped CD's from my music server and for listening to internet radio. As far as internet radio goes, if you find stations that broadcast at 128kbps (and there are lots of them), the quality is ... | |
| PS Audio Digital Link III vs MHDT Paradisea Thanks for the great comments and info! I have a Paradisea+ on the way that I'm going to give a spin. I was thinking about the PS Audio, and I'm sure it's a great DAC, I just got intrigued by the MHDT DAC and the NOS school of thought. I also like... | |
| What's the best Sony CD/SACD player? I've used a Sony NS999ES for quite some time, primarily for SACD as almost all of my RBCD is ripped to a music server and played via a Squeezebox. RBCD that is played on the Sony goes through an external DAC, but as far as SACD performance goes, t... | |
| What the most musical power amp for under $1K? Lots of great suggestions! I'd go for a used McCormack DNA.5 or DNA1. Both ar excellent. Another thing to consider is a Bel Canto S700; one of best amps I've ever used and a steal second-handed! | |
| Best Used under $300 2 Channel Amp I'd probably go for a used Adcom or B&K. Both are excellent values used! | |
| Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs I've had Vandersteen 2C's at two times in my life and the best amp/speaker combination I ever had set up was driving them with a McCormack DNA-1. I have no idea whether it's true or not, but I've heard in the past that Richard Vandersteen has used... | |
| MHDT Labs DAC: Havana or Paradisea+ ? Hope I'm not carrying this off in the weeds but... Anyone have experience comparing the Paradisea to some of the other popular and affordable DAC's that are out there right now like the Benchmark, PS Audio DL3, or DACMagic? I currently have a DACM... | |
| Best Live Recording on LP Little Feat, "Waiting for Columbus"Genesis, "Seconds Out" | |
| Low level Hum in Phono Signal Path Sounds like a potential grounding problem. If your tonearm interconnect has a ground wire, connect it to the ground screw (or a chassis screw if the pre doesn't have a dedicated ground screw). Then, get a ground lift plug and put it on the AC cabl... | |
| Praise for DacMagic I have had a DACMagic in my sytem for a while and have been very impressed by its performance. I run the digital out from my Squeezebox into one input and the digital out from my Sony player to another input for listening to RBCD. I also run USB d... | |
| SACD vs RBCD players Hmmmm, not sure how to answer that question? I have 100's of LP's, hundreds of RBCD's and probably a hundred or so SACD's and I listen to all of them, but I'm not sure I can say what actual percentages would be? Music is a huge part of my lifestyl... | |
| SACD vs RBCD players Great discussion going here with lots of excellent suggestions! Maybe my initial comment of SACD being "vastly superior" was slightly overboard, but I have to stick with it... In my experience, SACD always sounds better in absolute terms than RBCD... | |
| SACD vs RBCD players Go for the SACD player... there's still plenty of software available, especially classical. I've yet to hear an SACD that didn't sound vastly superior to RBCD's. While I'm sure the Cyrus is a great player, I'd opt for a good SACD player so that I ... |
