| Subwoofer pairing with new Magnepan .7's beernutFor ESL’s and Planer speakers, because they are fast, you need fast sub woofer/s. "Generally" I would go with smaller 8’-10" rather than larger 12"-15" diameter, as smaller ones that are designed right, should in theory be faster and able t... | |
| Accuphase voltage conversion If you have no switches or fuses to change the mains voltage all is not lost.It all depends if the mains transformer has the number of wires on the "primary side" of it to be able to be reconfigured for different mains voltages, you need a tech to... | |
| AMR DP-777, what am I missing ? The presenter that showed us the new AMR DP777 SE version said it can do dsd. And that older versions can be upgraded to the new SE, we heard both versions compared on Redbook playback, and the newer SE one was slightly better, but the standard on... | |
| Best DAC for pcm files I wouldn’t say won, This is the AudioStream comparison to the MSB R2R Ladder Multibit chipped dac, make you own mind up on this quote" Comparisons with Other DACs The MSB Technology Analog DAC at $6995 welcomes comparison with the $5999 Overdrive ... | |
| I have an orig Threshold S-500 and it needs atten Great amp the S500, bought mine blown cheap, and repaired it, loves the bias set so the heatsinks run at 60c. I’m in Australia so I can’t help you. No need for a Threshold specific tech, just a good solid state tech would do as they’re quite easy ... | |
| Oversampling Setting On Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD Player stereo5The Esoteric is the best sounding cd player I have ever heard. Redbook sounds quite special. I believe it is due to the Burr-Brown PCM1704 dac which is the last r to r ladder dac they manufactured. There is a big ease to the music, it ju... | |
| Anybody using tube amps to drive Thiel CS 3.7's ? These Thiel’s need an amp with grunt to sound their best, lots of current, that really means Tubes or Mosfets are not ideal. Amps that can almost double their wattage from 8ohm to 4ohm to 2ohms, would do the right thing by them.From the Stereophil... | |
| Krell KSA 100s: Your Thoughts The KSA100S while very nice, to my ear I found the plateau biased "S" Krells not as good as the high biased fan cooled real Class A older non "S" versions.http://i40.tinypic.com/wjszlg.jpg http://www.hifido.co.jp/photo/01/150/15014/c.jpg Cheers Ge... | |
| What direction with new DAC? dmm53 The Schitt has a 15 day money back offer, so you can listen for a couple of weeks.Cheers George | |
| adcom 555II vs mcintosh 2255 I would go with the Adcom, as even though both these amps will drive the 2ce's easy load. If ever you change speaker to a harder to drive one, then the Adcom will drive it better than a transformer couple amp could.Cheers George | |
| Is the move up to Parasound Halo A21 worth it? ARAFIQ hi, Another great circuitry designed by legendary John Curl, have a look at the Halo integrated as well, it is loaded with features like a dsd ESS saber dac, and maybe cheaper than separates, also designed by JC.Cheers George | |
| Schiit Ragnarok Sorry, knew it was one of those esoteric ones. Just as good in the digital domain of yesteryears DAC’s and CDP’s.Yeah and what happened to Angstrom a few years back, big fanfare at the beginning, promised to revolutionize d to A conversion, then n... | |
| Schiit Ragnarok Schitt is a fairly new company, I believe is part or wholly owned by Mike Moffat, one of the owner/designers from Mark Levinson. So there's some good cred behind it, and from what I've seen and heard their products are top end without the high pri... | |
| DAC to preamp technical question Just saying it’s bad news not to be able to use RCA interconnects with it, which is fact, looking at what Al has rightly pointed out.What I think about the sound of Class D has not even been mentioned here, if you want to bring it up there are oth... | |
| DAC to preamp technical question "but after looking at section 7.3 of the NC400 datasheet "Yeah, looks like your right Al, what a pain, not being able to connect normal RCA’s, as it’s ground floats at this point and this is where the shield (ground potential) on external equipme... |
