| Discrete R2R Ladder dac from Soekris, Absolute Sounds review. Well in my system, I have not had a delta sigma that has sounded good.Just too bright and thin.More noise, less music.YMMV. | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant I am not familiar with AudioSpace CD player? Tell me more. AudioSpace is a Hong Kong company owned by Peter Lau. I purchased his CD8 cd player in 2010 from Underwood Hifi. It had a Phillips drawer and Burr-Brown PCM 1732 chip. There wer... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthiel ...Bi-wiring is not only feasible, but easily reversible if desired...Hi Tom, Now you really have me thinking. I set one of the CS5i's on its side (laying it on a throw pillow so I had purchase to stand it back up again. Heavy buggers!)I... | |
| Thiel Owners @jafant Good to read that your employing Synergistic Research (SR) cabling. Are you using a full loom?A Don Sachs pre-amp is highly regarded. I did not know that he was still in business? You will have to educate me about full loom. I know hard... | |
| Thiel Owners Tom,Thanks for the detailed response. Despite my "live presence" complaint, to my ears the CS5i's are wonderful speakers and I would hate to mess with them too much. Having said that the bi-wiring idea seems like something that could work without ... | |
| Musical Paradise MP-D2 MK3 DAC I am purchasing a tube preamp from Don Sachs and we discussed all things audio. He currently uses a modified Musical Paradise that he feels is much better than a Schitt Yggy. | |
| Discrete R2R Ladder dac from Soekris, Absolute Sounds review. Okay, After rereading the manual, I found that there is a "Clip" light that must not show red so you turn down the volume until the red light does not flash.Ends up at plus 2 for me. | |

George,Not to drive you nuts but I have questions that reflect my ignorance and would appreciate your further explanation:The Soekris DAC digital volume control specification is -90 dbl to +10 dbl. It also says the line outout is 2 volts. In the C... | |
| Discrete R2R Ladder dac from Soekris, Absolute Sounds review. You may be right, I will give it more time! | |
| Thiel Owners @cargen Sort of crazy to have all that drool-worthy gear just sitting, but I do like to sail. You must be, sort of...!Enjoy! | |
| Thiel Owners jon_5912Excellent descriptors for Thiel Audio loudspeakers in general. Plus1!I hear high end B&W's regularly and agree about the peaky tweeters. I would characterize them as too bright a treble for my taste. B&W sounds impressive in the... | |
| Discrete R2R Ladder dac from Soekris, Absolute Sounds review. Okay, I think the affair is over with the Soekris direct into the amp .Reinserted the CJ preamp and the I like the sound better this way.I still have the detail without the brightness. The texture and the liquidity/solidarity of the sound is ba... | |
| Suggestion for Audiogon Forums How about a category called "Meaningless Drivel" that would include any gushing reviews that do not compare to other gear. Would save a lot of time. | |
