Transparent Reference Digital cable 75 ohm vs I don't think you can go wrong with Synergistic. I had a D-2 that was excellent - am now demoing an Esoteric Mexcel 75 ohm BNC-BNC cable that was actually made for my Esoteric gear. As a result, its ridiculously expensive, but does sound better (a... | |
McCormack Amp Upgrades I would just try to get your hands on a used DNA-500. It already has most of the upgrades to the lower models built in. Its a great amp and will really make your VS speakers sing. | |
LEGACY FANS ? Exactly - when he hears it, he will be amazed. You obviously haven't heard one with Legacy speakers. It can be quite maddening to try to find the perfect match as everyone's taste and ears are different. I have recommended this amp before to peopl... | |
Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? ANother vote for VAC here. I would recommend the current statement piece, the Phi 300.1. Really amazing sound, especially bass, speed and musicality. Driving my VSA VR-7SE's to new sonic heights every day without ever breaking a sweat... a phenome... | |
LEGACY FANS ? McCormack DNA-500. Period. Perfect match. You will be amazed. Save a lot of time and just find one. | |
Will a new DAC make an improvement in sound? I agree w/Dave_b above. I have a pretty "good" system and am also looking for a DAC, but something that will BETTER my upgraded Esoteric DACs by a bunch. Logic tells me this won't be found at the sub-$1K level - I am looking for "jaw-dropping" in ... | |
Super Dac under $20K? Anyone else? | |
Super Dac under $20K? FWIW - Talked to the AA distributor in Ct - they will not be at the show. Might be worth a follow-up depending on what happens at RMAF and with APLHiFi. | |
Super Dac under $20K? Teajay - read your excellent review - AA looks pretty impressive. Any idea if they will be at RMAF? | |
Super Dac under $20K? ART- I live in Denver.... | |
Super Dac under $20K? Thanks very much for the responses so far.Yes Art, I will be at RMAF. I'll probably be lurking around the big room VAC and VSA are using off and on, as I look at the various DACs at the show. | |
Marten Coltrane Alto speakers KeithrNo - unlike you, I don't need a frequency response graph to tell me what I am hearing. I also have no interest in "proving" any points to you or anyone else - its a waste of time and this is not a contest. Very few real audiophiles bother wi... | |
Marten Coltrane Alto speakers My speakers have about 700 hours on them and they definitely have sounded better as the crossovers, wiring, drivers, driver surrounds, etc. have gotten more hours on them. Its also not "my ears" as others have noticed the same thing listening to m... | |
Marten Coltrane Alto speakers Samuel33- So here you are on yet another thread spouting more negative gibberish about things you obviously can't clearly communicate nor clearly understand. Instead of whining and complaining to anyone who actually tries to respond to you, it wou... | |
Can you reccomend a cable for my VAC 140's I have a VAC amp (300.1) and preamp (Phi 2.0). Used to use top of the line Virtual Dynamics, but now use Synergistic for a more organic, realistic, musical and "you are there" sound in my system. They are also much easier to work with than the sup... |
