| SACD vs DVD audio vs 24/96..?? DAT machines are still in use, years after they supposedly "died". It's the recording industry's standard format. Sadly, I agree that SACD is probably doomed, sooner or later. I heard the SCD-1, and loved it. I'm also suspicious of DVD-A's chances... | |
| Entry into tubes YO, I live in Charleston SC (you cant be more than 3 hours away) and there are a couple of dealers in here. Both carry tubed integrated amps, both are run by good people. At your price I would suggest a SS amp to drive the Maggies, though. I was a... | |
| Tara Labs Master GEN 1 or 2??? anyone else????? | |
| Conrad johnson vs. Mccormack There's no reason to use an exclusive brand "A" or exclusive brand "B" system, necessarily. I happen to use a CJ preamp, the now discontinued PV11L, with a McCormack DNA.5 amp, also discontinued. Many people love the "sound" of tubed electronics, ... | |
| Air Bladder Isolation, Cheap I've been using 16" bike innertubes with 1 1/4" marble slab on top. Had this under CD, pre, and amp on hardwood floor. I recently moved to new room with concrete slab under carpet. Now amp sounds better without innertubes, as does preamp. Rack is ... | |
| Take the audiophile quiz! lol. Your post should be titled-"Waste of Space". | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge I think about the technological triumphs that have ocurred during my short lifetime(25 years), and it makes me proud. I'm proud to have been born into an era that has seen more progress, in less time, than any period before it. When I was born, ca... | |
| Small Dedicated Listening Room??? I have a pair of B&W Nautilus 805 speakers in a 12' by 13' room. Bass, while not as low as in the Hales Rev 3s that I'm selling, is quite sufficient. I agree with the above comments, that you should be thankful for these circumstances, particu... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Gmkane, thanks very much for that info... Best answer yet to the question that drove me to start the thread. Thanks... | |
| What the heck is Resolution Audio Sorry to steal this bandwidth for a cheap(but cheerfully thrown) jab at our favorite hothead, but I gots ta! Carl I shoulda known you were a taper (we can smell our own) anyone as angry and (you know you are, so dont get offended)anal as you are h... | |
| Two systems; One amp one set of speakers Damn, George, I've been trying to do that for a long time (on paper, at least) I never thought of 2 runs of speaker cable!!!! GREAT IDEA. | |
| My speaker makes noise ? Yes, this is normal. AND YOU SHOULD ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS turn the source off last(or maybe even leave it on all the time). When turning the system on, you want to start with the source, and follow the interconnects to the preamp (turn this on now)... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Ahem. Ok. Guys. Enough. Lets be adults here. Carl is entitled to his opinion, just as we all are. But really, guys, can't we all just get along?? Carl, be nice, too, please, there's lots of good knowledge on this thread, but you keep gettin the ne... | |
| need recs for 2 way system I've heard Audio Analogue Puccini, and it pales by comparison to the Audio Refinement Complete Integrated amp made by YBA. Retail NEW is $1k. For speakers, I just got the B&W Nautilus 805's which are awesome, but maybe too steep at $2k, around... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge OK, guys, read the thread topic, and please stick to it. ALso, BE NICE! Otherwise, I'm gonna put all of you in "time out" |
