| CD player modifications I wonder if you could add something like this to your player Tubalizer . | |
| Audiosector Patek and Taylo Ref Monitors? From looking at the specs of the Taylo. I'm not sure the Patek would be a good idea. Most small two way monitors like this aren't as easy to drive as they seem. Some really need plenty of current to do them justice. If the Taylo was a larger speak... | |
| Silver vs Copper cables Gjbianchi,The Nordost Frey cables are copper with silver coating. You may want to try pure silver speaker cables also. I've owned some Nordost silver clad copper speaker cables and noticed they are a little glarey sounding. I thought pure silver w... | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? Fair enough my friend..at least we agree on something.LOLI do understand what your saying. Maybe this is the problem you hear in your DAC or transport..I really don't know. Honestly I've never cared for the stock Sony 7700 players analog outputs, ... | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? Bombaywalla,all your theories and hypothesis are great.But you really need to hear it to understand where I'm coming from. The Audio Sector DAC has sufficient drive. Probably more than many players. I've never heard a player or DAC make a garbage ... | |
| $1k, new, power amp, 100w or less, what do you say What are the speakers efficiency rating? | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? Yes Bombaywalla the 10x factor works OK. I'm not sure this is written in stone though. After listening to the differences of the average CD player or DAC output impedance (which is around 3000 ohms)verses using a separate buffer(100k ohm input and... | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? Bombaywalla,I also did some thinking about your comparison of the SN DAC and the Wadia. I'm thinking that some of the differences you were hearing had a lot to do with the output impedance of the Wadia (51 ohms) verses the SN DAC ( guessing maybe ... | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? Good for you Hudsonhawk! Glad to see the NON OS DAC working out for you.Good listening! | |
| Ultimate headphone amp? The Single Power units can be tailored just by changing tubes. If you want lush..throw in lush tubes. The 6sn7 should give you what you crave.Or try some of Mikhail's tube inserts and experiment with many different types of tubes. You have to ask ... | |
| Small form factor, budget DACs? Bombaywalla, Thanks for the little review...good stuff! Nice to hear the SN DAC did well against the heavy hitting Wadia. It's funny what sorts of things run through your mind when comparing units of such wide price differences. You kind of hope t... | |
| HELP NEED UPGRADE ADVICE I would follow the source upgrade or addition with the Preamp. If you play your cards right..you can come out with extra cash to go towards the speakers or the preamp....your choice.Honestly before I paid to mod the Sony. I would just add a DAC.It... | |
| Pioneer CD & DVD as Transports If I had to choose between the Pioneers, Toshibas, QUAD and Arcam. Hands down the Pioneer has a better transport. I haven't experienced the same as Dave in lacking of weight. In fact that's the last thing I could say it lacks..mine isn't stock tho... | |
| HELP NEED UPGRADE ADVICE I would attack the source first. Either get the player modded or get a DAC(this depends on how much you listen to just SACD as well).... The rest will follow as you feel the need to change or upgrade. | |
| Best 3 to 6 channel amp for around $1000 - $1500 Checkout a McIntosh 7106 or something similar. It has 6 channels that can be configured into 3,4 or 5 . When you bridge two channels the power goes up to 300 wpc from 100 wpc into 8 ohms. This can be done by switches on the back of the amplifier. ... |
