| Bel Canto DAC-1 Thanks Snook2. Do you happen to know whether or not that loud popping sound is a characteristic of the DAC-1, or was somthing wrong with the one you had? Did you talk to Bel Canto about it? BTW, I have a Muse Model 2 that can be up-graded to the 2... | |
| Antijitter Hi Phil; I agree with the above posts in that with your equipment the SF UJB would probably make little or no difference in music character/quality. But they definitely do have their place, eg I use an SF UJB between a Sony CA9ES and Muse Model Tw... | |
| "Feng Shui" and "Floobie Dust" Hi J_K; I don't seem to be able to stop on this topic! Where are the Bedini dual beam Ultra Clarifier (I assume this is for CD cleaning?) and Marigo CD cleaner available from, and what is Cross Bow? Also have any of you guys above had any experien... | |
| "Feng Shui" and "Floobie Dust" Hi Tsquared; I too have had good results with AC line conditioning. I have a Tice E-4, and the 4 digital outlets are particularly beneficial. A question: Where do you get Optrix spray for CDs, and what improvements have you noticed by using it? Th... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... Oops-- just noticied that it's the Townshend sinks (small) that you recommend, NOT the seismic sinks. My mistake. | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... Hi Redkiwi; I bet you're from "down under"? Thanks for your thorough and articulate response. I can see that you've done much more experimenting with vibration control than I have. At about $25k, my system is not obscenely expensive, but based on ... | |
| "Feng Shui" and "Floobie Dust" An interesting topic. I identified with Redkiwi's comment/question about non-audiophiles trusting their ears. I did not become obsessively interested in high end audio until near age 50, and it took me about 3 years of much reading and careful lis... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... Hi Bmp; I've read literally dozens of positive reviews or comments on Vibrapods, and you'll note that Redkiwi (above) admitted they were "good" under some components. He did not like them under "his" speakers. I did see a magazine review where the... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... Hi Redkiwi; I'm surprised to hear that you did not like Vibrapods-- in fact, yours is the first negative report I've heard. On my 1st order to Audio Advisor, I ordered just two sets because I just wanted to try them out. Well, AA screwed up the or... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... Hi Bmp; Vibrapods are a tremendous product, especially when placed under digital components and pre-amps. I liked them so much I put them under EVERYTHING except my big DNA-2DX amp which already has good vibration control. Clarity and dynamics imp... | |
| ML no39, Wadia 850, Classe 1.0, or Sony? Hi Tom; You've described your preferences in music and music character, but much also depends on your room acoustics, and the rest of your system. I use and like the Sony XA-7 and consider it to be tonally well balanced or near neutral. But in my ... | |
| Bel Canto DAC-1 Hi Innhitman, I did an audiogon search and turned up a bunch of info. on the Ortho Spectrum AR2000 provided by Delve Audio, NJ-- is that where you got yours? There was sort of a "white paper" presented there, and it was long but to tell the truth,... | |
| Bel Canto DAC-1 Thanks for the responses. Innhitman-- what, pray tell, is an Ortho Spectrum AR2000 Analogue Reconstructor? Where is it available, and what does it cost? This sounds intriguing, and I REALLY appreciate your assessment of the DAC-1. Also, what is a ... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music Hi Carl; re: L. McKennitt. I suspect the radio play was from her 1997 release "The Book of Secrets"-- a fantastic CD and my favorite (I don't know the track). I don't listen to much radio as I live well off the beaten path. I think I've got enough... | |
| R 2 D 4 BTW David 99, what does LOL stand for? |
