| For the sound, or????? Chayro, I think the magic here is the synergy.There is no question that if you shop patiently, you can make your money improve your sound.However, there are bargains to be had in used gear as well if patience is applied.Too bad people seem to buy ... | |
| How important is the transport when using a DAC? I would really welcome someone demonstrate this difference in sound for me. I have yet to hear it.Many fairly high end CD players used to use 29 dollar computer transports.Then again, they are selling Cardas Gold CAT5 cable now for music servers..... | |
| For the sound, or????? Jult52, sorry I missed your question. I cannot ID the gear.Learned long ago unless it belongs to me...mums the word.It was only my opinion and while it impressed us, who is to say that after a week with it he would have been satisfied.Since I crea... | |

| Emotiva XPA-2 I don't have an Emotiva amp, but I have been very impressed by the XPA 1 D/A/Preamp in my system. Very impressed indeed. Emotiva, as a company, seems to have the right formula for the future.I have seen little that compares with them for five time... | |
| Adcom GFA 555 versus Rotel RMB 1095for stereo PS Crowy, in 1998 they thought I had MS. Found out (in 2004) it was actually extremely advanced Lyme disease, which by then could not be reversed.It has taken me a long time to come to grips with the limitations this has imposed. Though I am consi... | |
| Your best ''outstanding'' products in last 5 yrs? I must qualify this with "bang for the buck," but that said, My Emotiva D/A XDA-1, Bought for 199.00 delivered.Not an Elgar, but better than anything under 1500 that I tried. Since it is a preamp, I thought I would throw it in here.Not much of a r... | |
| Adcom GFA 555 versus Rotel RMB 1095for stereo With the flood of A/B questions on these sites, I understand why folks get uptight.I also understand lame legs and swollen fingers.Crowy, add more detail with an explanation. You will find audio-nuts to be some of the most helpful people around.De... | |

| Help me discover some new music... I did not read all the replies as I am in a big hurry...But check out CALEXICO "STOP LIGHT" the one with the 64 Chevy on the cover. The LP is a MUST HAVE!!(However, after just wasting 30.00 on the "ALGIERS" album, I wonder what happened.)I wonder ... | |
| Looking for a DAC that has.. Have you thought about listening below that level and using a passive? | |
| Downgrading Downgrading how? As in, a trade off of quality of sound...or status of gear>?The two are very different and are confused quite often.I think a set of small KEF's, a decent old receiver and a planar3 setup might shock the hell out of many audiop... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? Wow, Detlof immortalizes my post. Thanks!It shocks me to read the "ten years" comment and realize it is fact. God, I feel old. | |
| Turntable Recommendation for Beginner Tables are a great source of debate. For years, the rega offerings were affordable, solid performers without needing to have a PhD in engineering to set them up.I have a LP12 with the old Grace 707 and with a Benz Ace cart, the results are very ve... |
