| Best used dac under $2000 Rhyno, I managed to find a review of the Entec Number Cruncher DAC, is that the one you own? It seems very good, and to have sound qualities I value.But, a $7000 DAC selling for $800 used? This seller may not share your opinion Rhyno. That, or is ... | |
| How much to spend on a cd changer as a transport Don't most CD changers use toslink rather than a coax IC hookup? I'm sure that in itself will open up a whole new can of nightcrawlers.I think some of the Aiwa changers mentioned are around $100 used. That's a pretty cheap experiment in my book. | |
| Best used dac under $2000 Right on, Mdominick and Zaikesman. We should make a distinction between French policy and beautiful French DACs like the Hermes! I was just venting my contempt for France's attempts towards become relevant in this world once again. Conversely, I'm... | |
| Best used dac under $2000 The people at CES told me they thought the Hermes 2 was a big step up over the one I have. Although the exterior appearance hasn't changed, the innards are supposedly completely different. | |
| Best used dac under $2000 "You ever here of Plato? Socrates? ...MORONS!"Wow, that's interesting that you preferred the MF over the Bel Canto and Chord. Maybe it's because I just haven't heard enough about it. I've only had experience with the Bel Canto DAC 1.1 and my curre... | |
| Best used dac under $2000 The French being anti-war has nothing to do with it. It's because they're still so damned ashamed the British and Americans saved their asses and their country in WWII, they feel they have to do everything contrary to the policies of the US.I don'... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Oooops. you're right Unsound, I've been watching so many of those Japanese Best Motoring videos I got my JDM manufacturers and models mixed up.The STi sounds awesome, but I really want that ice scrapping Zamboni Chevy Impala SS from Monster Garage! | |
| Integrated or separates? A piece that really impressed me at CES was the Unison Research Unico integrated. 80wpc for $1300 brand new. It utilizes a tubed preamp section with two 6922s and a solid state output section. Very musical and it sounded great through Triangle Cel... | |
| Crossover needed for subwoofers, or not? I'm using a Paradigm X-30 crossover between my Blue Circle BC21 preamp and Bryston 4b which powers my sub. The low-pass setting is variable down to 35Hz. Works for me! | |
| Speaker advice: $1200 budget I'm ProAc monitor fan myself, but I think for your taste and application the Vandy 2CE is a good recommendation. Full range sound on the cheap and you may not need a sub. | |
| Sub Set up Final Exam Question Hi Maitrega. Can you describe the "overlapping bass"?I can think of two possibilites. Either the crossover for the Titan is set too high, and therefore creating too much overlap with the mains, which in turn creates a hump at that frequency. Or th... | |
| Blue Circle amp with TSM I've been using the BC21/BC22 combo with ProAc 1SCs for almost a year now and love the match. Good power, huge soundstage, enough detail for me and nice warmth. Tube rolling the BC21 with some WWII NOS 6SN7s has worked wonders for this set up.Gilb... | |
| Is there a cable that can warm up my sound? Although there are many possibilities, the Monster digital could be the culprit. What is the rest of your system comprised of? Also any recommendations that we could offer would depend on the degree of brightness you want to alleviate.A reasonably... | |
| Digital Interconnects Jose, with the exception of my digital IC the rest of my system is comprised of Audition cables and cords. I don't believe the Auditions have gained any quickness in the nine months I've owned them, but they did start to flow better after a month ... | |
| CES 2003: Which products impressed you? Sbrtoy, I experienced the same "audio snobbery" as you in many rooms, that's why I made mention of those rooms where I was treated hospitably. Whenever I left a room after a negative experience I kept asking myself, "Why? And for what reason?". It... |
