| Science Fiction Time ? My favorite is the transducer (i.e. speaker) the size of a quarter that emits hyper frequencies (around 250 khz) that, when mixed with other hyper-freqs, magically reduce to human range (20-20K) and can be "focused" into a local "hearing zone" so ... | |
| 24/96 upsampling vs. 24/192 upsampling vs. no upsampling? Upsampling is converting 16 bit data to 20-24 bit data so a different kind of filtering can be used when the data is converted from a digital signal into an analog signal. The word on the street is that typical digital sounds so "unrefined" do to ... | |
| Tube amp for Thiel CS1.5s First you should get a picture of the Thiel's impedance curve. If it goes all over the place, avoid using tubes.I believe that Thiel's are VERY power hungry. Try Bryston 4B-ST or McCormack -you might be suprised! Solid state amps these days are ra... | |
| SACD : why ? I agree SACD is in trouble but not due to sonics. I've heard it sound quite good although dcs 24/192 upsample still best IMO. It seems that Sony is not interested in supporting SACD purchasers with the musical icons (Beatles, 'Stones, Zepplin, etc... | |
| What is a Transport? Also, "line level" is a commonly agreed on electrical value (value range?) that comes out of most equipment and goes into a receiver, preamp, whatever. Line level is a standard that lets you use company-x's preamp with compny-y's amp (without blow... | |
| ARC Support I've delt with Mr. Leonard several times over the past decade and have always received EXCELLENT advice and service! He is a true gentelman. The company as a whole is rather tight assed and (except for their ravishing sounding equipment) backward.... | |
| Buy a DAC or buy an SACD player? MSB Platinum DAC (around $3000) and another $600 to mod your CD player with MSB 192khz interface. In my book, SACD goin' no where (I own an SACD player -can't get decent soft stuff). | |

| any one comparing DCS with upsampling to SACD? Sutts: The Audio Aero? Do they have a website? What is the price range? Always interested in 24/192... | |
| any one comparing DCS with upsampling to SACD? I heard dcs thru Thiel 7.2, Goldmund mono amps, Levinson top-o-line transport and had a religious experience (wasn't thin at all...) | |
| I just heard the Nautilus 800 Just got back... Looks like the 802's on steriods (a little uglier -maybe it's just the black ash...). Uses dual 10" drivers for bass and has down facing port. Head unit looks like the same but has diff midrange driver somehow... | |

| What's the problem with Sony 777ES SACD? I agree w/Amwarwick. The boys at Music Direct told me the reason there are no Led Zepplin SACD's is the $12 million fee to "rent" the masters. If Sony were serious, they'd pony up the dough and give us what we want (Beatles, Stones, you know, whit... | |
| looking for the right integrated Check out the Arcam A85. | |
| Led Zeppelin 2 First pressing Maybe rock-n-roll is finally going out of style? Lord knows the talent pool dried up long ago (10,000 new bands in the Tower records rack and not a single new "Satisfaction"?) Give up you hacks!!! |
