| Opinions on Wyred 4 Sound ICE amps I didn't notice a significant difference in sound between the stereo amp and monos. Unless you want to place your amps by your speakers or space is tight, I'd go with the stereo amp. One less PC to upgrade too! | |
| W4S or Rega Dac - Opinions Wanted I wouldn't call the DacMagic a giant killer, but does sound really good for the money. In fact, I liked some things about it better than it's big brother the 840C(imaging, soundstage). But, as far as transparency and dynamics go, either W4S unit w... | |
| W4S or Rega Dac - Opinions Wanted Anyone who states the W4S DAC1 or DAC2 is bright or analytical has issues elsewhere in their rig. | |
| How Do You Pronounce Thiel? According to the dictionary I have here, teal and teel are indeed pronounced the same, "teel" or (IPA) "til". | |
| STI-1000 Overrated or not? Welcome to the sound of tight, accurate bass. | |
| Mcintosh MC162 It's a non-autoformer model, so it doesn't have Mac's signature lush sound. Which, according to your experience with the M42, you may prefer. | |
| Is the Polk LSiM707 as good as the reviewes? There was a review in Tone this month, they appear to be well received by anyone who has top shelve gear and a large listening room. Okeeteekid, nothing against the reviewer in the link, but he wasn't using what I would consider a high current amp... | |
| Wilson Sophia 2 or Sonus Faber Amati Homage If you like warmth, stick with Sonus Faber. | |
| Good DAC with two optical inputs Wyred 4 Sound DAC-1 or DAC-2. | |
| Any other Sony SS-AR1 owners out there? Where are you getting the 200w figure from for the 7T's power rating?Sony's 90w rating is 100h(hour) RMS, not peak and 150w long term max-power, which means they're capable of playing music at a constant 114dB @ 1M each without clipping. Add in So... | |
| Any other Sony SS-AR1 owners out there? Audiozen, because Arial's tweeter has two large ferrite magnets instead of neodymium magnets it has better detail and dynamics? You have no idea what you're talking about. | |
| What component is responsible for dynamics ? Having tried a few different speakers of different efficiencies in my rig over the last few days, I don't believe speaker efficiency has a direct correlation with perceived dynamics. The two pairs of monitors I tried are a few dB more efficient th... | |
| Replacement tweeters Newton T300 Are they no longer available from Cambridge? | |
| What component is responsible for dynamics ? Watts are cheap, high powered SS amps with medium efficiency full range speakers can produce impressive dynamics.High efficiency speakers will raise the noise floor, same with cheap tube equipment. Without a very large enclosure, high efficiency s... | |
