| Amp more important than speakers? Speakers first. I experimented with Energy Encores as my mains for a while, replacing another bookshelf B&W CM1. The Encores sounded so muddy and distant that even a stranger would refuse to believe I have a decent system after hearing them.Qu... | |
| Energy RC or Veritas I was in the market for the Veritas speakers but unfortunately they were long discontinued during my hunt for speakers. The Energy RC series is quite impressive and compete with competitor's models well over its price range. The new (Klipsch) Veri... | |
| Sub-$600 CDP For Transport and Some Player Duty? Any Sony ES CD or DVD player. | |
| Best SS preamp $1000 Rotel RC-1082 wow | |
| What cd player to purchase for less than $1000? Whathifi doesn't like the sound of Rotel players in general. If the RCD-1520 had a Cambridge face plate, they would've loved it. | |
| To mod or not to mod a Sony SCD1 There's only one Dac in the Sony, a PCM 1796. | |
| Sony ES DVD Players as a transport Looks like I will give my 999ES transport-only duty, thanks for the reply Tuong. Hopefully jitter won't be an issue. | |
| Cambridge Audio 840C It now looks like the Sony XA5400ES has dethroned the Cambridge as the best digital source under $5k... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound Dac1 vs. Dac2 What's your early impressions Magnumpi? Bright, neutral, etc.? | |
| DAC new or used under 2.5K advice I second Daverz comment regarding the Neko Audio D100. The Wyred4Sound also looks impressive but some have described the ESS Sabre as being too sterile. I haven't heard the W4S but the Neko is extremely musical. | |
| How is Rotel RCD-1520 CD player? Anyone owns one? Is it as bright as the Cambridge? | |
| Rotel RCD-1520 or 1072? Rotel has always made excellent source components for the money. It will be interesting to see if they go the external DAC route soon, possibly at some point this year. I know Rega and other companies are beginning to go this route while continuin... | |
| Why are my B&W 803D speaks feel bright Have you tried room treatments? I'd also recommend getting rid of the Audioquest cables, replace them with Acoustic Zen. | |
| Closest DAC to Vinyl Sound? I have not Daverz. I hope to hear one soon as I have read lots of good things about them. Until I do, the Neko remains my favorite. | |
| Closest DAC to Vinyl Sound? The Neko Audio D100 is absolutely effortless in its presentation. The best digital I've heard for under $2k, and outclassed the Cambridge 840C which was a few hundreds pricier. |
