| Audiophile newbie Part 2 Akg, I agree with most of what you say. Red Book 44/16 is the minimum of what I want to listen to. HOWEVER, I will argue the point about a high end player vs a pc. A group of friends and I just compared 2 units playing and identical cd (did this w... | |
| Debating between Hybrid and Tube Integrated Amp Tube cages protect everyone. I never had problems with teaching the kids "HOT". My bigger problem was speakers on stands and/or no grills. One kid really had a thing about pushing in dust caps on drivers...Sandbag the speaker stands, use blue tack... | |
| Audiophile newbie Part 2 My preferred way is using a USB cable to a nice DAC. However, someone younger may want wireless from an ipod. The problem there is the quality is usually limited to MP3 from an ipod.Some DAC's and players can connect via wifi (Oppo for example). T... | |
| Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ? Sorry to be slow. Currently I have Coincident Conquests, Triumphs and Triumph mini's-Whole theater. | |
| Problem with Mog Get rid of Vista. Upgrading to 7 is easy and you can pick up a copy cheap. That will help with newer software and will be less of a memory hog. Don't go to 8. | |
| Audiophile newbie Go shopping for a couple of weeks, read a couple of magazines, then get back to us. You need to decide on a rough budget, types of music you like, the location of the system, 2 channel or home theater, does size matter, do you love bass or will th... | |
| OPINIONS NEEDED 100 trade-in chance FOCAL Have you questioned how/why she could do this? My guess that this is off full retail of $5000? Even if she gave you your original purchase price off ($1800 or so?) that she still can make money on your upgrade and wind up with a free pair of 726 t... | |
| Upgrade from Cambridge Audio 840C to lessen glare? We have put the 840 through a lot-it was never harsh or bright. I would do 2 things first: 1-run your new amp for at least 100 hours to break it in. Don't even listen during that time. 2-If that doesn't work, try swapping out as much as possible s... | |
| Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ? I get it that the Pass has a lot more juice than 30 watts. However, none of us can argue that the real charm of a Pass or similar class A amp is the output while fully in class A. I run 12 watt Class A amps up to a 375 wpc Mac. My Coincident Speak... | |
| Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ? It might sound good but will be way underpowered. 20 watts of warm beautiful power only goes so far with speakers that are happy with 400 watts. Keep your choice above 90db for that amp (B&W, Coincident and many more) | |
| High-Efficiency Single Driver Speaker System My 4" Merrill drivers really roll off in the lows. However, you wouldn't guess it while listening. The bass you can get out of a quarter wave design is astounding! Every person that has ever heard them goes looking for the subwoofer. The highs lit... | |
| Small System Rebuild. Need Integrated Amp Why aren't you looking at Peachtree? That's a great little amp with an unbeatable DAC all in one! | |

| A DAC into a DAC? Keeping everything digital should just pass the digital signal through from your source to the dac. The data will only get decoded once.If you are using 2 channel only and the pre/pro is staying on as the preamp, just run the source to the dac to ... | |
| Fostex BK-16 Folded Horn Kit It's nice but you may end up buying other drivers...Lowther, Merrill or ???If you want fun, my Merrill Zigmahornets are great. Tiny footprint, amazing bass for a 4" driver too. Do a google search and you can find plans and reviews on 6moons. |
