| Voltage conversion in Wyred4 Sound DAC Hi Gnanasekhar,I have been researching DACs with Dual power capability for a while.Here are some candidates I found.Chord Qute HDWavelength DACs (any model, I own the cosecant, that you can find used for around 2000$)Auralic Vega ($3500) can be sw... | |
| High efficiency speakers I heard Tanner & Friedl and Devore Orangutan in RMAF 2013 in different rooms.Preferred the Devore Orangutan by a large margin. More resolving, more involving. Admittedly the electronics driving the two speakers were different and so were the r... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Does having a asynchronous USB help with jitter and obviate the need for reclocking or SPDIF converters, as claimed here : http://usbdacs.com/Concept/Concept.htmlJust wondering. I have the Wavelength Cosecant and love it so far. | |
| Auralic Vega or Wavelength Cosecant HS Denom vers? I heard the Auralic Vega at a dealer's and the Wavelength Cosecant V3 in my system. Hard to compare since they were in different systems and a few months apart.But based on that non-scientific evaluation, I went with the Wavelength. More musical m... | |
| Best natural, musical DAC under $3K? For 3.5K Wavelength Cosecant is fantastic ! Would fit well with your criterion of musical, correct, low level detail yet full and rich sound. Similar to Parsifal characteristics. | |
| An audiophile in Tokyo, where the audio/LP stores I was just wondering whats the markup on Shindo gear in the US is. Is it as atrocious as Luxman or Shelter, or more reasonable.I know a dealer in LA, 6 hours drive from SF (where I live). | |
| An audiophile in Tokyo, where the audio/LP stores Wonder what the markup on shindo is ?Dunno if I have to go through the hassle of voltage change for accuphase. I know with Esoteric (K-03) I do not have to. | |
| CAT SL1 Signature, How does it measure up ? CAT"s owner Ken also suggested Mk III CAT Signature. However I can only find Mk II used, 2 here in audiogon now. Is there a big difference between Mk II or Mk III ? Definitely will tube roll. | |
| CAT SL1 Signature, How does it measure up ? Thanks Daveyf.You have a great system. If you are happy with CAT signature on such a system, its a great endorsement.How easy/hard is it to tube roll the CAT, I have not done tube-rolling before.Bhaskar | |
| Verity Parsifal Anniversary coming in 2 weeks Think they are going showcase it at the upcoming Munich show. | |
| Help - Listening fatigue For 4K new, you should think about Vienna Acoustics Beethoven baby grand (BBG) for 5K or VA Mozart (3.5K). They are amongst the least fatiguing speakers at that price point, yet high resolution.I heard VA BBG with MC452 last week at a MCintosh aud... | |
| What's next after Clearaudio Concept ? Amadeus is outside my price range.There is a well tempered classic available locally. It's old.Would this TT beat a rega rp6, if so be worth it to try venturing into the WT world. | |
| Coincident Statement Phono Preamp Hfisher3380 I have the same question as Subframe.I am currently using the line stage of my Coincident Phono. I find it a tad bright and forward in the upper mid-range/treble, and I am close to the 200 hours break-in.Am wondering if its the line st... | |
| What's next after Clearaudio Concept ? Sonicbeauty, ha ha yes, you are right, it will sound far better.I will take your suggestion whether I do an upgrade or not :) | |
| Coincident Statement RC Preamp Abill,If you need a phono stage as well.Why not get a Coincident statement phono stage which has a line stage as well. According to Israel, the line stage in CSPS is better than most LS except his own.For me, the line stage in it seems pretty good... |
