| What amplification is best for JMLab Mini Utopias I second the Krell recommendation. I'm using Micro-Utopias with a Krell 400xi integrated.As all the other posts have stated, the speakers require lots of power. I compared the 400xi against Luxman, Arcam, BAT, and a few others I don't remember. Th... | |
| Convert speaker cables to interconnects? ? Odyssey audio does the same with Gronberg cable. Used in IC's and SC's.Nordost too with Blue Heaven and Red Dawn. The IC's are half as wide as the SC's. Cut in half basically. | |
| A Krell Standard mrkII I'm using a DVD Standard as a player and transport into a Benchmark DAC1 and I'm very impressed by how good it sounds on regular CD's. Needless to say, the transport on it also went bad and had to be repaired. It's not the same transport as used i... | |
| Toslink to mini optical cable suggestions. Thank you all for your replies. I had already been looking at Audioquest with a monster cable adapter since it looks better made than what I currently have.Since I'll be listening primarily to streaming internet radio as opposed to Lossless iTunes... | |
| Hi Rez digital to Benchmark DAC? I've used my Benchmark with a variety of transports, cheap DVD based, CD based, PC, PC toslink output, etc.I think the problem will not be can it handle 24/196, but where to find a player that will OUTPUT 24/196. Is there any music available at th... | |
| Krell MMF / Nordost, cast cables After buying my stereo system, the first thing I did was move from DIY cords to all nordost and I'm extremely happy with the results. I'm using Whitelight optical between my Krell DVD Standard and Benchmark DAC1. From there I use Quattro Fil XLR t... | |
| Nordost PC - Shiva, Vishnu, or Baldur? Yes, I meant Brahma. Thanks for the correction. When I used the Shiva on the integrated I liked what I heard, but you nailed it in that it's a tad lean. I'm now using a homebrew power cord on it that's heavy gauge, but it's just not what I'm looki... | |
| PS Audio Equipment??? I'm using a P-500 for my entire system. I have an integrated, DVD transport, and DAC all plugged into it and it runs fine. I even rewired it to work on 230V since I live overseas. The output is still 120V and the difference it made in my system wa... | |
| Just got an iTouch... ejlif is right. On my iPod I can definitely tell the difference between apple lossless and mp3. I listen thru Grado SR-125's at home thru a headphone amp or iGrado headphones for the gym. I do not find that it's too difficult or time consuming to ... | |
| Cables for Focal Utopia Diablo In my Krell/Focal system I use Nordost interconnects and speaker cables. Quattro Fil balanced XLR and Red Dawn Rev 2 speaker cables. Nordost PC's as well. | |
| Best headphones for iTouch My wife used the itouch for working out and hated it! She complained it was too big and the screen would keep switching from portrait to landscape as she tried to change a song on the run. I bought her a shuffle and for working out, she loves it a... | |
| iMac Users - Help No Output to System Plug the fiberoptic into the minijack and ensure the other end is glowing red. If it is not, then you'll have to enable the optical out as Mb9061 suggested.Which DAC are you using? The KAV-300 does not have a built in dac, it's an integrated ampli... | |
| Krell SACD Standard v DVD Standard CD replay From the limited research I did before buying my DVD Standard, it seems the SACD is marginally better, but to me, the reliability issues with the SACD transport put me off. Like you, I also looked into the 280CD, but couldn't audition one locally.... | |
| 10k system for ultimate image density at 70-75db? I agree with Audiofeil. Some electrostatic speakers will bring performers into the room. I auditioned a pair of Martin Logan Summits with Sim Audio electronics and I swear good 'ol Willie Nelson was standing in front of us.10K is a reasonable budg... | |
| Anyone heard nordost baldur speaker cables?? I did quite a bit of research and spoke with a few dealers about Nordost Cables. Initially I was going to get entry level cables, but ended up moving up the line in the used market. Currently I use Quattro Fil XLR's and Red Dawn rev II speaker cab... |
