| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? It's interesting to see how everyone has different tastes, which is totally fine. I checked it out on youtube and struggled getting through it. Okay, the guy obviously has vocal talent, but when someone goes hardcore into vocal acrobatics, it lose... | |
| DAC with a Balance Control - Does on exist? Bel Canto DAC2.5 and DAC3.5VB have balance control.Disclosure: I am a Bel Canto dealer | |
| B&W 802 Diamond or 800 Nautilus You have some conflicting info here. In the title you say 802 Diamond and in the body of the post you say 802D. They are very different speakers. The 802 Diamond is brand new and you probably won't find them on the used market. The 802D's will be ... | |
| Using Oppo as DAC? The Oppo blu-ray players have digital outputs, not digital inputs, so you can't use them as a DAC. There are quite a few CD players that offer digital inputs to allow someone to utilize their on-board DACs with other sources, but I'm not aware of ... | |
| Dac with volume control and HT bypass Bel Canto DAC2.5 & DAC3.5VB both have this feature. | |
| Who is the KING of MONOS? My issue is not about discussing high performance pieces at all, but the way some people get into the whole idea of something being the "best". I see too many people making bad choices because they are choosing components that they've heard are th... | |
| Who is the KING of MONOS? This is very much like the thread "Best Integrated Amp PERIOD". There isn't one. There hasn't been one. There never will be one. Likewise, there isn't a King of Monos. If given context for a particular situation, there could be some very good sugg... | |
| Cambridge Dacmagic? Real improvmt or hype? I used to be a Cambridge Audio dealer and found this piece to be quite transport/source dependent, regardless of what the reviews say in that regard. With some sources, it worked very well and I felt it was excellent value for the money. With some... | |
| What's the objection to Floor Standing Speakers? Yes, I do believe Tvad got it right. With a number of brands I've dealt with now, or in the past, a small floorstander usually has a smaller footprint than the standmounter in the same line once it is placed on a good stand. It's definitely a visu... | |
| Preamp suggestion for KAV 2250 Considering your source, I'd definitely consider a DAC with volume control and run it directly into the Krell. I've been going DAC directly into power amps for a long time now and love it. I think this is a great solution for you. | |
| Jm Labs Electra 936 help needed. Bigwavedave, you didn't make any mention of your preamp or your source, but I'd say it is the room. Being a former Focal JMlab dealer, I can't say I found the top end bright on these. The top end is fairly revealing though. If anything, if memory ... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 It can't be compared to the Perfectwave Transport. How do you compare an integrated CD/SACD player to something that is a transport only? | |
| JM Labs-Focal: Chorus 726S or 806V or Electra 906? Being a former Focal dealer, I'd definitely go for the Electra 906. At least, that would be my choice. The 806V is decent, but from memory the sound of the Electra 906 was a nice step up. | |
| Best Integrated, period. The latest McIntosh integrated was outperformed by the latest Chapter Audio integrated in a review. The Chapter Audio integrated I'm sure will be outperformed by others. The reality is that there is no such thing as the best integrated, PERIOD.Dis... | |
| bel canto dac 3 cd 2 owners Firmware is upgradeable by a dealer that has access to the Bel Canto programming board and software.For the CD2, I don't think you'd see any benefit replacing the original power supply with the LNS1. Now the VBS1, that's a different story. |
