Replacements for Dynaudio Floorstanders
He is getting a lot of bad advice? I don't think Pure Music Program is going to be the magic fix all for sure LOL. It seem to be common knowledge that Krell can tend to be bright sounding gear. I've owned Krell and Dynaudio and if either one is br... 
Replacements for Dynaudio Floorstanders
Dyns are not bright speakers you must have a problem elsewhere in the chain. 
Bargain Basement, Giant Killing DACs for PC Audio
The closest I've heard to giant killer in my travels is the MHDT Paradisea. At around 400 bucks used it's putting out some pretty good sound for the dollars. I personally sold off my Wavelength Cosecant after getting one. There is better sound of ... 
Any David Yow fans here ???
Yah man I love the Jesus Lizard. I'm gonna check it out thanks. 
Sim Audio I-5.3 vs Anthem 225 vs Creek Destiny 2
I've owned the 5350SE as well as currently the Destiny. I got a great deal on the 5350SE and thought maybe I would just switch to that and then sell the Destiny and pocket some cash. Wrong. The Destiny is significantly better in every way in my op... 
B&W 805 Diamond or Dynaudio C1 ??
YOu should read the latest issue of Absolute sound if you have not. They do a review of the new 805 and directly compare it to the C1 
dac for multiple sources
The Bryston DAC would be pretty good for what you are looking for. I've owned the Wavelength Cosecant and I think this one sounds better. 
How is there Apple Lossless Debate?
I would think something is amiss in your system. For me the Mac Mini playing Apple Lossless files sounds better than the CD playing from a transport. I think that it sounds marginally better to use a USB-SPDIF converter such as the Bel Canto USB l... 
Best Dac with USB input for $1,000 or less
I don't know if it's the tube that is the thing that makes me like it or not? Probably I guess. I have here on hand a Bryston DAP-1 DAC and I have been comparing extensively against the Havana. I really want to like the Bryston better. It has extr... 
Are Revel F12 speakers too much for a small room?
I think the room will work, it's the Marantz that I think will be the problem. I would take the dealer up on listening to them with it. Or better yet get the dealer to let you bring them home. That is what dealers and paying full price is all abou... 
Best Dac with USB input for $1,000 or less
The Havana with the Bel Canto USB link sounds absolutely awesome and beats anything I've heard up to 4000.00. There are other DACs that reveal more, show more imaging reverb trails blah blah blah but the Havana gets to the soul of the music and to... 
Looking to buy a complete 2 chanel system
You should be able to put an incredible sounding system together for that price especially if you buy used and can go up to 20K. The first thing to look at is your room. How big is it? Do you have the run of the room for speaker placement or is th... 
Power cord for MHDT Havana
Yes I agree that if you aren't hearing an improvement with the Havana (I own one and think it is great sounding digital) then don't waste your money on a power cord. That said, I think the Electraglide Synapse II sounds really good on the Havana. ... 
Review: Jim Smith Home Consultation & Set Up Speaker
Wow I think this is more than reasonable. I would assume that 1500 plus you pay airfare? I can imagine that if you have spent a lot of money on gear and have a dedicated room where you have the run of the room for speaker placement 1500 bucks for ... 
iMac far from audo rack - any suggestions?
Puerto, So you are running a short USB cord and then a long RCA SPDIF cable to the DAC? I am also in the same situation as Flg 2001 that I want to directly connect from my iMac to my DAC. I am running wireless now via an Apple TV and even have an ...
