| Balanced But Not Fully Balanced @almarg and @atmasphere My sincere thanks to both of you. Very informative and rather prompt too I might add. I have since asked Musical Fidelity. Their response:"No it isn’t fully balanced. It is converted to single ended to work with the rest of... | |
| Balanced But Not Fully Balanced @almarg and @atmasphere I realize I am resurrecting an old thread, but only because the two of you have chimed in on this one do I prefer to do so instead of creating a new one :) Hopefully you will appreciate the question.How can one determine if... | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? Free tip to anyone with a lot of CDs. Always store them vertically, not horizontally. The sound will be much better. Please don't ask why.Doubtful anyone would ask why, because your statement is not true. | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? And I'll add to my previous post herein that the 16 cubic feet of space taken by my 3500 CDs includes the fact they are stored efficiently in the 100 CD spindle they came in. If stored in individual jewel cases, forget about it.... | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? @rhyno thats one of the top reasons: collection on displayInteresting, because this is one of the top reasons I DO NOT continue to collect (acquire new via purchase or burn to via digital file and computer software) Redbook CD’sI have 3500 Gratefu... | |
| $10k DAC in a 3k system? @fsmithjack Regarding your recommendations and the Bricasti DAC, the M1 which MSRPs for 9 grand new includes "the stereo ADI 1955 D/A converter in a mono configuration".Interesting to note that my $500 Emotiva ERC-3 also includes the same Analog D... | |
| $10k DAC in a 3k system? Do yourself a favor, as I did. Buy an Oppo UDP-205. With two ESS Sabre Pro series ES9038PRO DACs, all the other features of the unit - not to mention the outstanding 4K UHD video - all for $1300 you'll be more than glad you did. | |
| Stupid Question Alert!!! the best 4K TV and possibly the best TVs ever created so far (for non-gaming applications like movies) is the latest line of OLED TVs from LG The operative word there is "possibly". I have a Samsung UN65KS9800 (LED not OLED) pro calibrated by K... | |
| Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers @milpaiWithout my even trying to get into any king of "pissing contest" or having to "defend" anything here, please allow me to provide feedback to your latest post within this thread.I too note the Tekton DI thread on the forum, and I can gather ... | |
| Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers @tekton With a user name of "tekton", only 5 posts to your credit, and given that you are unable to even understand the correct name of "Triton" and not "Titan", no doubt you would recommend Tekton.Here is what one dealer I know had to say about t... | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? CD cost is a problem? Yes. Even in bulk (500?) quality CDs are .25 each. In my case I have 3500, literally. Why continue down that path instead of playing the file directly (i.e. without having to burn to CD)? Couple that with the fact that CDs d... | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? Until about a 18 months ago, CD was my preferred format. It no longer is for numerous reasons including cost (why burn to cd or buy a cd when the digital file can be played directly), longevity of the data storage on that media (data fails in far ... | |
| Samsung 65 inch model# un65f6300 @gdhal Why do you say it sucks? Did you have a bad experience?I was thinking of getting a Samsung at Costco.BI’ll preface this reply by stating that I have a Samsung UN65KS9800 "professionally" calibrated by Kevin Miller. And, I can honestly say, ... | |
| Samsung 65 inch model# un65f6300 Samsung "customer service" SUCKS!@willland consider your experience unique | |
| Just Ordered New Speakers So today May 27, 2017 I saw and heard the Triton Reference up-close-and-personal. Elegant and awesome are just some of the accolades I can think of! They dwarf the Triton One from a physical perspective. You can see that in the photos I've posted ... |
