| Devore Gibbon 3XLs: anyone have these? If you are comparing the p3esr with the devore 3xl you are comparing apples and oranges. The devore is in another league....more comparable to the compact 7 or the shl5, both of which are front ported. Just an FYI. | |
| usb dac for hi-end system The Ayre is a very good USB dac but it is not the end of story. You need to listen to several in your system. The Ayre is optimized to run on USB and only offers a USB input. The technology Ayre utilizes is licensed from Wavelength which was a sma... | |
| usb dac for hi-end system Cerrot, the blanket statement that you made about "music should be streamed not packets" is mistaken. Data is transmitted in packets, blocks or other groupings, whether through FireWire, USB or wireless and is buffered, it's not music until the co... | |
| usb dac for hi-end system Emre,I took a look at your system and you have an awesome DAC in the DCS. Your best bet at this time if you have a Mac would be to get the Wavelength Wavelink USB to SPDIF and then plug into your DCS. That is a $900 US solution, and he includes ca... | |
| Applications of USB 3.0 in Music Storage. Since you a having a computer built, it certainly sounds like you are veering down the pc/Microsoft OS avenue. If that is the case, you will want to research a bit more. For instance, below is a link to a pci card which outputs 24/192 via an aes/e... | |
| speakers close to the back wall ? Obviously all rooms and all speakers require careful matching. AN/e's are quite balanced in my room....a bit more than a foot or so from my front wall. Large room 20' x 30' brick one side, glass the other.....horses for courses. | |
| Perhaps we should stick with midfi... Everyone here is very kind and offering sage, well thought out advice to the OP. You are all to be commended. I'll still bet that this person is a Troll, although I hope to be proven wrong when he posts some pictures to 1 of his 4 systems.Again, I... | |
| Acoustic Zen Phone works, website doesn't as of today 8/16/2010 | |
| Perhaps we should stick with midfi... Definitely a troll, he's got one too many "big names" listed. He has an extra piece from Krell/ARC/Mac for his amp and preamp. To front that equipment with the Sony player is also very unlikely......lastly, he has like 4 systems listed.....RILLY? | |
| Best Late Night Low Volume Speaker Hey Audiofeil, you are always so careful not to mention products that you carry in order to avoid any appearance of shilling but The Audio Note AN-E speakers are pretty hard to beat with a nice tube setup. I have had several pair of Harbeths in my... | |
| The CD player is dead....... A Portland cement piano housing......WOW! Even Edison was trying to tame unwanted resonances a century ago....LOL. | |
| Help Father of the bride dance song. What about "Big Papa" by Notorius B I G? LOL....just kidding of course.Definitely the Sinatra version of " The Way You Look Tonight", an excellent tempo and the theme sends the proper message without choking everyone up. Your daughters wedding sho... | |
| Quick poll: Most enjoyable audio magazine ? Tone Audio hands down. I subscribe to them all and Jeffs ezine is by far the best produced Tellig/Valin free zone there is. New stuff, used stuff, music , concerts gadgets, all the good stuff. Plus, he doesn't appear to be biased toward any one so... | |
| Amp for Harbeth P3ESR "Either way the integrated amp will have to have *both* preamp out and amp in jacks (like NAD and Bryston) so that the integrated can be treated as separates."Some of the Naim integrateds also do what Bob stated. Good luck and let us know how it t... | |
| Amp for Harbeth P3ESR Sam, an inexpensive solution with very little risk might be the new Wadia Powerdac 151. It is a small integrated with built in dac which lists for $1,195. It accepts only digital sources though and no pre-amp outs. I have not personally heard one ... |
