Dac Suggestions for Rega System I went with a Schiit Bifrost multibit. I comes at a great price and I am impressed with the sound reproduction. I have a Rega Apollo, too, but haven't connected it to the bifrost, yet. | |
Music server Yeah johnziomas, I could have used my android, but I really need a larger screen as my eyes aren't what they used to be. I have to say that Lenovo monitor is pretty nice-great resolution and easy to use touchscreen. | |
engineering mistakes on recordings It's why Donald Fagan and Steely Dan records sound so good. They pay attention to details and understand the subtleties of music.If you listen to current/popular music, you just have to lower your standards. | |
Music server elberoth2, I believe it is 12 volt, but don't quote me.2channel, I built a micro PC for my digital music. It runs Win10 and I have J River and a bunch of streaming music apps.For a monitor, I bought a used Lenovo Thinkvision monitor(LT1423p). It w... | |

Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd Yes, I deal mostly with Gerrit. He is very communicative and will help you as best he can. Should they not be able to ship to you, I would love to travel to Argentina. The speakers would be my luggage! | |
Manley Chinook Okay folks, I understand both of your viewpoints, but, remember what it was like before the internet?You had to take the equipment to a dealer, have them ship it to the manufacturer, have the work done, then have it shipped back to the dealer, and... | |
Music server A quick google for the manual says there is a RESTORE & UPDATE DVD. So, Cary should step up and give it to you.If they don't, I would definitely post your experience.Other than that, I would do what elberoth2 suggested or build your own serv... | |
Speakers for Rock - up to 1kusd You don't mention where you live. But, have you looked at Zu speakers?They are very efficient and they have models in your price range.Also, they have a trial period, which is a nice option to try them out. | |
