| TOSLINK Optical vs Coaxial for CD transport to DAC @audphile1 I'm not willing to spend much, (at least in audiophile standards) that said I just recently bought the Veritas Aperta SE speaker cables. I am very impressed with them, and Veritas has there Nexum C digital S/PDIF cable at $299 for 1.5... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @tubeguy80 With the speaker cables tried prior I found that the bass response was too heavy. This had me plugging speaker ports, (theirs two ports per speaker) sometimes one, sometimes two, I always wondered why a speaker of the Focal Utopia ped... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found After reading this thread, I contacted Veritas on May 3rd about the Aperta SE speaker cables. I need 10' cables and was looking for cost and availability for them. Veritas indicated that someone had placed a large order (including a 10' pair of th... | |
| Thoughts on using the DAC in my oppo 205 with a CD Transport. After much research, I've decided to buy the Benchmark, it's supposed to be here Friday. I want to thank everyone who took the time to post their thoughts here, these forums are a great place to gather information from so many experienced and know... | |
| Thoughts on using the DAC in my oppo 205 with a CD Transport. Thanks for all the input. I bought the oppo 205 when the news broke that oppo was ceasing production as I wanted the 4K Blu-Ray capabilities, it replaced the oppo 95 I had at the time. I am considering buying either the Benchmark DAC3 B, or the ... | |
| Thoughts on using the DAC in my oppo 205 with a CD Transport. Well, it seems my thinking has been flawed. I'm happy I decided to post about this, as I probably would have decided to try the CDT route. So now having to shift gears, can you guys offer me thoughts on DAC's (would like to stay under $1500) and ... | |
| Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers. Thanks to all for the responses, and special thanks to @hbarrel for your detailed/time consuming response! I am cerious if you have an opinion on the Simaudio integrateds characteristics? My new speaker cables came yesterday. I spent hours listen... | |
| Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers. @jafant The 700i has crossed my mind, although I question how much an improvement vs a more lateral move it would really be. I'm using an oppo 205-disc player for all my silver disc playback. I also have a Fanfare FM tuner, and Lyra Lydian Bet... | |
| Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers. @kofibaffour If you're refiring to my most recent post about the Parasound amp, you didn't read it very well. I brought it home and was used in the same system/room. As far as equipment goes, I spent many years with a Fosgate Signature phono s... | |
| Audio envy - dang! About two years back, I had the (Captain) send me a 10' pair of his SP12 and the (new and not yet published) model 34 speaker cables. After trying both sets in my system, I overwhelmingly chose the model 34's. I found them to be much better perfor... | |
| Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers. I was just setting here when I suddenly recalled something that I had forgotten about. Many years ago, I found a local small retailer who was closing his store and had a (Parasound I believe, don't remember the model) power amplifier he was liquid... | |
| Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers. @roadcykler I may not be using the correct terminology in "micro details", but i did explain it in the third paragraph of my post just before yours. I get the message that probably an amp change won't solve my issue. I'm going to entertain the... | |
| Help with possible integrated amp change for better match with my speakers. Thanks for the responses. I have been pondering a different disc player, I'm currently using an oppo 205 for all disc playback. I recently read about the Teac VRDS-701 and it sounds like a fine machine. Do you all think my oppo may be a glossing ... | |
| Grounded Speaker Cable In May of 2023, I had Cap send me the SP12s and also model 34 speaker cables in 10" length. At the time there was no mention of the SP14s. I tried both in my system and found the model 34 as the clear winner. I think the main difference was the ad... |
