| Red Rose R3s vs. Proac 1sc vs. Dynaudio 1.3SE Gosh, with all these great testimonials for the Red Rose 3s I'm becoming very interested in them. I've been living very happily the last few months with my ProAcs, but you folks have got me thinking now.Especially, when the Red Rose 3s are describ... | |
| Red Rose R3s vs. Proac 1sc vs. Dynaudio 1.3SE I like the way my ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures sound with my Simaudio Moon I-5. A much bigger sound than I anticipated. Since the Plinius 8150 has more power I would recommend the ProAc Response 2. If you have no objection to purchasing a used set... | |
| Any speaker cable's sound quality just blown you away? I was blown away upgrading from DH Labs Silversonic T14 to Analysis PLus Oval 9. A completely different sound. Wider, deeper, more focused, and much fuller. | |
| Why a transport over a CD player? I endorse Kevziek's advice. You can find used Theta Data Basic Is and IIs here for between $400-600. I have a Theta Pearl which I'm using with a Bel Canto DAC1.1. I came very close to getting the Sonic Frontiers SFT-1 but it's at or above $1000. T... | |
| Speakers for Sim Audio i-5080 ? I've owned a Simaudio Moon I-5 for a year now and also own both ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures and Sonus Faber Concertinos. I would guess that the Celeste and Moon amps sound very close.The SFs have a nice organic sound when mated to the Simaudio. V... | |
| New Transport Approach WOW! That's original. I like it. I make my living using Adobe Photoshop and greatly appreciate having the luxury of a one gig of RAM. It speeds up all functions greatly and reduces the need of constant writes to a hard drive.Would there have to be... | |
| Buy a DAC or buy an SACD player? Before getting my Bel Canto DAC 1.1, I came VERY close to getting the Sony SCD777ES. All I had to do was to walk across the street to the Sony Employee Store and place the order. It would have only been $1301 brand new.What ultimately swayed me wa... | |

| Suggestions For A DAC Hi John. While I don't have any experience with most of the DACs you're considering, I do own the Bel Canto DAC1.1.From what I understand, the original DAC1 and the newer 1.1 have some sonic differences. Choosing between these two may depend on th... | |
| laid back, warm interconnects with tight bass clean highs Arupg, thanks for relaying that piece of advice. The Golden Cross is working great for me. I hope you're happy with the cable you choose. Good luck! | |
| Mac dvd-r s which dvd player will play back? Alright Cornfedboy!It's funny, I've always viewed these two passions as being separate, but with the advent of applications such as Toast, iTunes and iDVD it seems the bridge has been gapped.A friend of mine who produces a few bands is currently m... | |
| Mac dvd-r s which dvd player will play back? Ahh, this is a great thread. As an audiophile and die-hard Mac professional/enthusiast this has special interest for me. I make my living as a Photoshop geek everyday and sit down to enjoy my music system at night, so this is a great blend of my p... | |
| CD Player Break-In Hi David. Jadem6's above suggestions have worked well for me. While I never used the 8 ohm resistor method, Jadem6's advice for burning in lasers and interconnects have done the trick in my system. After going through this process over and over, I... | |
