| 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 ... | |
| Review: Jim Smith Home Consultation & Set Up Speaker It would be interesting to know how much he charges and exactly what did he do to make your system sound better | |
| moscode 600 " the newest mods" I would think the mods are probably going to get you a lot better sound. The Moscode amps (I had the 300 myself) are really nice sounding especially for the low low price you can find them used for. As far as your amp being worth 1500 bucks more o... | |
| Ian Curtis passing: 30 years ago today There is the Heart and Soul 4 disc set that has a bunch of extra songs and other versions. There are a couple of live albums as well. I don't know if that is all there is but I just looked in my iTunes and I found 6 JD albums total as well as a Wa... | |
| Phono preamp for Dynavector XX2mkII Mine sounds good with the Whest 2.0. Though I've never tried any other phono stages with it, but given that I am happy with the sound. | |
| External firewire hard drive to go with Mac Mini. I have been happy with my Western Digital 2TB my book studio version. It runs firewire or USB. I had a problem with one of my Lacie drives (I had 5 stacked 250MB drives at one point) and I did a little research and seems like the all arrows pointe... | |
| what was your wedding song? Theme to Twin Peaks | |
| If money were no object, what would be in your rig I'd drop that huge MBL system right in place of my current one. The girls clothes would fly right off when they walked in the room. | |
| Contemporary composers. Please help. I remember starting with Ligeti Edition 7 chamber music, still one of my favorites. Ligeti Edition 3 works for piano is probably my all time favorite. I was able to see this performed live and that was a real treat (it took a world class pianist a... |
