| help a Die hard ANALOG guy choose a budget CDP I own a Rega Apollo R and a McCormack CDP, both sound very good to me and are in your price range.I would also think about a DAC. I reentered HIFI after a 30 hiatus, using streaming music was the last thing on my mind, but, low and behold, I am li... | |
| Wall Receptacle Oyaide R0, Furutech GTX-G and SR Black UEF Well, with an system like tjbhuler has, I guess cost wouldn't be a restraint, but for most folks a Porterhouse would be a significant upgrade. | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce Ooohh, I am jealous....Perhaps those Wilson's will be my next move. | |
| Difference between Schiit Modi Versions Thanks docknow, I agree, the Bifrost Multibit is unbelievable. I have been using mine daily since I bought it. In fact, I don't even play my CD's anymore. I would get another, but this is just for my office and I wanted to save a few bucks.Is ther... | |
| Difference between Schiit Modi Versions Thank You, georgelofi.That is the information I needed. I am not well versed with the nuances of digital reproduction- I just want the darned thing to reproduced sound.I will be using the DAC to play music from my PC, so I can utilize either a USB... | |

| Anticables speaker wire have no plastic jacket/insulation? The current going through speaker cables is negligent for a human, though a small mammal, like a mouse, might be discomforted. | |
| 5% THD to .000 THD SOUND Derrick, I agree, that buying over the net makes things harder, but, speaking for myself, and perhaps for you, too, having had time to 'listen with our ears', I think this puts us ahead of the rest. We know what we like and know when we hear it.Pe... | |
| 5% THD to .000 THD SOUND Derrick, I think Bombaywalla was responding to the Geoffkait post.Also, I am I am close to your age and remember, too, all the audio mags with lots of specs. I also chased my tail those days, but was lucky enough to live in NY, where I could liste... | |
| Type of flooring in a listening room? I have never been a fan of wall to wall carpet for aesthetic reasons, though it probably is best for sound, in your case, as you are located on a slab. If you did the vinyl flooring, I would add an area rug. In addition, I would add wall coverings... | |
| Bi-amping Rules I, too, considered bi-amping, but now think a pair of Monoblocks would be a better way to go. Introducing 2 different amps is a recipe for trouble/disapointment as there are too many variables. | |
| Room Acoustic treatment suggestions, ideas & recommendations A pic of your room would help due to the complexity of your description.I would also contact a local B and W dealer, or any high end audio dealer to help you with your project. It would be money well spent considering they do this stuff all the ti... | |
| vandersteen 2sigs to magnepan .7 good move? I still think you should add a sub. My room is about the same as yours and by adding the subs, everything sounds more real and integrated. |
