| Levinson 39 or Wadia 830/850/860 ? I listened to both and ended up with the No. 39, for what it's worth. | |
| SACD player as CD transport? This begs the question, is it worth the extra $1500 for the SCD-1 over the 777, considering performance as an SACD player and as a CD transport for use with externl DAC? | |
| SACD player as CD transport? Thanks Calloway. The Dodson is in fact what I have, so good to hear it works well. Have you compared it with other transports in connection with the Dodson? | |
| SACD player as CD transport? J&R price is $3299, by the way. | |
| SACD player as CD transport? Thanks. By the way, I can't find the Sony products at OADE.com. Any other opinions out there? Is it a contender as a transport with a serious outboard DAC? | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Fair enough, Frogman. Good post. I am mostly a subjectivist, have a lot of money invested in cables and hear a lot of differences between things that many argue must sound the same. I think being open minded works both ways. In this particular cas... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Ask and ye shall receive. Frogman set off my BS detector. I'm open minded here and do no want to attack anyone personally, but a family resemblance suggests that the listener is projecting a family persona on the family members. Because the job of... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? I share others' puzzlement here. Differences between coax and AES/EBU are perhaps easier to accept, but when comparing two different brands of coax, what can possibly be going on? In a conversation with a leading DAC designer earlier this week, he... | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? Good story, Bob. And Leafs, what does fovered mean? Is it liked 'rogered' or more like 'buggered'? | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? Where does one find The Audio Critic, to subscribe to or to read online. I've seen several references to his "Top 10 Lies" article, which I would especially like to see. | |
| Bel Canto or Birdland? I don't know the MSB Link series products or the BC, but I just spent about 3 weeks with their new Platinum DAC and thought it was excellent. About $3K and quite homely. | |
| Great Sounding New Releases He's a singer-songwriter. The music is more grown up than most of the adult contemporary stuff I hear on the radio. This record has a nice eclecticism of song styles. Some of his singing is very reminiscent of the late Jeff Buckley, but the music ... | |
| Great Sounding New Releases I agree. This is the best-sounding GD ever released, and it's from that particularly sweet time in the band's career--The Quintessential Quintet, indeed. A new one to check out: Wonder Bar by Martin Sexton. Good enough sound, but better music. Ver... | |
| Rel Sub Woofers..Any Experience One cautionary note: RELs appear to not work well with certain amplifiers (dual differential I guess it is), such as my Pass X-150 and I believe most of the Krell amps. Special wiring configurations are recommended, but I could never get a satisfa... | |
| Anybody out there using Spectron amp? You might look at the Marsh amps for beefy, affordable, and musical. Haven't heard them myself, but some of the reveiws have been glowing. |
