| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD especially the hybrid designs that have 6 bits in depth.That's right, the last great full 24bit R2R chip was the PCM1704 and is unobtainable now because of massive manufacturing costs, having to laser trim those resistors. The competition to the... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD That fine for you, but sorry it's what I've heard with many A/B's in my own system and with others. To me PCM done with DS is akin to amplification being done with Class-DI'm with fuzzbutt17 (Benjamin from Mojo Audio) and yet to hear different... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD With all due respect to George I’m inclined more toward Elizabeth’s explanation in attributing the void or black hole effect to the recording method or process. I don’t believe that delta sigma can be the blamed in a broad brush fashion a... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Have you or roxy even heard the Forte III Yes I owned them for 4 mts got them cheap, as they were a good turnaround to make money on. A friend owned the older version, bass wasn’t as good/low on them.Cheers George | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD elizabeth One of my complaints about SACD is they all seem to have no ’room’ played in. The music all seems to ’magically’ float out of a black hole. mitch2 Interestingly, this is in the ballpark of describing my issue with the Class D amplifi... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Trouble with the CF-4 is it’s double 12" two way, that horn has to handle both mids and highs more colouration’s and the 12" bass units are crossed over at 1500hz to the horn which is well into the mids, not good for 2 x 12" to handle mids also mo... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III The Vandie’s are more musically correct, the Klipsch Forte III are the best musical speaker Klipsch made, not as good as the Vandie’s, but the Forte III can be powered almost by rubbing two sticks together... | |
| Wadia 8 transport locking screw tooblue Use any screw that "easily" goes into the thread inside, only screw it in three rotations and make up any gap between the screw head and the bottom plate with any washers.This should stop the transport mechanism from slapping back and f... | |
| Schiit not that Good? (op didn’t mislead anyone in to believing the 2 systems were similarly priced); He also didn’t say they were miles apart either, but he did hint at it with the cabling.Shiit products are the best bang for buck by along way that I have come across... | |
| Schiit not that Good? Shiit v Esoteric??? Bet the price difference was massive!Cheers George | |

| Preamp under $2,000 used kalali "I am looking for a neutral true to the music sound.." I also wouldn’t rule out a passive preamp if you can find one to fit into your system. +1 on the passive for neutrality and dynamics, this is why Wolf and I both love the Schitt Frey... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD mattnshilp OPI have to admit this Mystique V3 is growing on me. It’s stupid good for the money! It has a sense of natural presentation, texture and harmonics while still attaining accuracy and clarity that is hard to achieve. It’s intimate when ... | |

| Should I eliminate my preamp? marqmike529 posts04-09-2018 1:20amThat is real possible. Thanks If you look at it technically, the VH 1st interconnect has not only capacitance, but resistance (very little, except for the Carbon they once had) and also inductance. These three ... |
