| Advice needed: am I going in the right direction? Your PC may even have an optical out, which I think is better than USB- though some may disagree.But, big greg is correct, use a USB or Optical cable to the DAC of your choice. The rest is like the usual stereo connections.As for a sound card, I w... | |
| Speaker suggestions @OP, Are you near any dealers? Nothing beats auditioning speakers with your own ears.Bob | |
| Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!? I, too, think you should send it in for an estimate.You might get lucky. And, it would be better than relegating it to a closet.Bob | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? @rvpiano,I hope you are following this and put a blanket over those mirrored doors😉.I hope you got rid of the moisture, too.Bob | |
| Borresen Acoustics Speakers - Have you heard them & what did you think? Too bad. Ribbons never seem to work for me.B | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? @rsf507 ,I wish I could be more precise, but I was listening to a system with equipment I never listened to before, so I really can't give an opinion because it might have been one component that affected sound reproduction to lead me to 'sounded ... | |

| Some components too old now? @vinyloid,Yes, I got the same take on those thread. So, maybe I'm wrong. The only way to tell is try and audition some more contemporary DAC's. Though I have to say DAC's from the 90's never contemplated the high resolution being offered today.Re ... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I just listened to amps from Merrill-116 monoblocks.They sounded pretty good, but are unfortunately very expensive.Bob | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA @jea48 ,Would you recommend getting a DC blocker for every system?I know not all lines have DC, but just as a precaution?Bob | |
| beginner seperate system Actually, Atma amps are pretty stable for a tube amp. If impedance drops are severe, he recommends using the Zero Autoformers.Even Steve McCormack says they make his SS amps sound better.Bob | |
| Some components too old now? Like you said, it was one of the best in its' day, but that was more than 20 years ago. I think you'll find just about any DAC built recently will be a significant improvement.I found a link to another forum (hopefully allowed) asking the same que... | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA @twoleftears ,Exactly.I bought a 2016 TTS that has a B&O sound system. It sounds like crap. My previous TTS had a Bose system that sounded leaps and bounds above the B&O-and that is saying something.B&O had some really interesting gear... | |
| Omni Directional....Interesting.... That helps..Well, in short, they sound very good, if you like dispersed sound- that is, a room filled with sound without a pinpoint source. Though if you want a highly imaged/focused sound, then they are mostly lacking in that area.There will be t... | |
