| Considering Beveridge, your opinion please. I am knowledgeable about the King Sound King III, available from Performance Devices. I reviewed the original King, and now the King III, for Dagogo.com. Feel free to read my article on the King, and if you wish contact me. | |
| Good CD player vs. Transport and DAC B_limo, my experience with 32 bit DACs is that they are holistically superior. There may be some extreme 24 bit players/DACS which compete well, but typically the 32 bit players/DACs have cleaned up in terms of superior performance. I encourage yo... | |
| Good CD player vs. Transport and DAC B_limo, I appreciate the complement; there are many years of budgeting and many, many components tried working up to the current rig, but all worth it. The issue is that players do die, and if you put all your eggs in one basket you will sooner or... | |
| Good CD player vs. Transport and DAC B_limo, you will get a wide swath of responses to your inquiry. You have captured the essence of the viewpoint of some when you say, "So from what I'm hearing you say is that the transport doesn't matter in terms of sound, just get a good dac? Not... | |
| Opposite of Thiel If at all possible keep the LFT-8B's as well! I reviewed it for Dagogo.com and its a terrific value panel speaker. You will adore the experience of having both technologies available to you - whichever dynamic speaker you settle on. The LFTs used ... | |
| Recommendations for 5k upgrade Ah, missed that; very well. One brand of cables which strike my ear as having a very pleasing balance of tonality and definition are Clarity Cables (reviewed at Dagogo.com). They are not the only game going for good cables, but a very good soundin... | |
| Recommendations for 5k upgrade Polyglot, alright! Sweet, you have the advanced version; you're doing great. I urge you to get the set of Burson discrete Opamps as well, as this will give you ongoing complete flexibility in system building. Also, change from optic to dig coax ca... | |
| Recommendations for 5k upgrade Polyglot, thanks; I'm glad the article helped. I can't speak personally to the efficacy of upgrading the output caps, but I do believe that it likely would benefit the unit. There are others far more knoweldgeable than me in that regard and if tha... | |
| Recommendations for 5k upgrade Since you are using the EE Minimax DAC which I reviewed I can give some guidance in regards to that unit and potential upgrade. If you like the nature of the EE DAC's performance in general then please read my Audio Blast article Discrete Opamp Ro... | |
| Power Cords - Just Say Yes Foster_9, how about we add back my initial comment in my paragraph, which you omitted? It makes a difference when it reads thus:The sad thing is that for some people the price of experimentation has to be virtually nil before they are willing to e... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Al, that's interesting; I assumed Liguy did the comparison between single and biwiring at home as he would have had them on hand, but perhaps not. It would not be a valid comparison to hear them at a dealership and at home and try to draw a conclu... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Foster 9, I am well aware this is a power cord thread; I posted Liguy's comments to show the inconsistency of his acceptance of biwiring when he was initially skeptical to his resistance against power cords, though he has done nothing (seemingly) ... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Will 2012 end without Liguy ever getting his power cord test conducted (pun!)? Here is what Liguy posted in 2001 in regards to biwiring:"After reading these forums for awhile I can finally say that I am a skeptic no longer with respect to biwiring... | |
| When's enough, enough? It took many years of audiophilia to realize that I was a System Builder, a form of audiophile who exults in the gear as much as the media. As such I am almost never completely satisfied with any given rig. I have built hundeds of systems but can ... | |
| Power Cords - Just Say Yes Success comes to those who do/try, while the rest make excuses. That's not theory; that's application. :) |
