| Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric Rbyington711 "A CD is a spinner and a laser so what does a 12k Esoteric do that a $1,200 Marantz doesn't." Do some reading on the VRDS system Teac developed. Tech and Esoteric are the same company FYI. also for those that question Esoteric ... | |
| DAC Comparison - Aurender A200 vs McIntosh C2600 I compared the A10 to my C2700 (DAC 2) and the DAC2 is better IMO. not sure if that's a fair comparison but close as i have. Upgrade your DAC1 to the DAC2 maybe the way FWD. The DAC2 also offers HDMI input for a potential TV input. | |
| sansui 5500 Sansui made some of the best tuners in the world, this is one of their lower tier ones but still an excellent tuner if working properly. The issue is its old and will need restoration and alignment by now. old caps etc will cause issues and out of... | |
| Shipping foam for Revel Ultima 2 Gem 2 speakers another option is expanding foam packing materials. basically its expanding foam in a bag that expends around your item and fills all the gaps. makes for a very secure package, better then original in many cases. | |
| Omega The Seven Bookshelf Speakers I have not heard the 7's but I did own a set of the SAM's and was very impressed with how well they did much of the sound scape. Best soundstage in any speaker I've ever owned by a good margin. good over all balance with just a hint of typical sin... | |
| Keep McIntosh C2500 pre-amp or upgrade to C12000? Try changing your tubes to a different brand/NOS first. I don't think your going to see that big of a difference moving to the 12000 from the 2500, better DAC of course. and the option for SS or Tube stages if that's something you like. I did a co... | |
| Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric Esoteric's parent company Teac has been making some of the best CD drives on the planet for decades. They used to sell to OEM's but now keep all their drives to them selves in Teac/Esoteric's CD players etc. great players if not some of the best o... | |
| I guess I need a new multimeter. check local pawn shops you may find a use fluke in there for cheep. also military auctions etc. | |
| Gold Lion AX7 in tube preamp It took mine about 200hours before they sounded great, after the break in they were some of the best new production tubes I've encountered specially for the money. they are not an overly warm sounding tube more neutral then most. | |
| What is the lowest voltage acceptable ? in NA the standard voltage is 115v if its a little higher or lower its not a big deal, ie +/-5v. i would not concern your self specially on the slightly lower side. if it goes much lower or higher I'd contact your provider. | |
| Discrete R2r With Tube Output LTA has a new one out getting good reviews. $3,950.00 Aero - Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) by Linear Tube Audio on another note why do you think chip based R2R's are inferior? to me they are more accurate as the resistors on the chip are... | |
| Vibration Control Basic electrical theory. A moving magnetic field will induce a current in a conductor. or a moving conductor in a magnetic field will induce a current in the conductor. So if you have vibrations etc. you have a moving conductor or magnetic field. ... | |
| Ebay selling my missing amplifier call the police in the country its listed, this is theft and something the police should deal with E-bay has little ability to do anything but take the add down. | |
| Voltage conversion of Accuphase E-5000 what do you mean convert? are you referring to different countries voltages? Japan @ 100v, NA @ 115v and Europe etc. @ 220v. you should note Japan’s voltage and NA’s voltage are close but not close enough to run a 100v Japan model on NA’s 115v. y... | |
| Air Tight amps -- changing voltage to 120V or 230V Coming from japan its most likely going to be 100v so you'd need a step down transformer. 115-100v. unless you can find a European version of course. I'm not sure why your apposed to a step up/step down transformers I've used them in the past for ... |
