| Just when I thought digital could not match analog WOW, that has not been my experience. In fact I have not been able to get my computer Audio to match even my digital system. Most of the current articles have not been favorable to USB as a means of transfer. I use a Lynx card and connect via digi... | |

| How do you judge your system's neutrality? “If, after changing a system element, (1) individual pieces of music sound more unique, and (2) your music collection sounds more diverse, then your system is contributing less of its own signature to the music. And less signature means more neutr... | |
| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s Many Wilson owners use Lamm or Pass XA. I have the pass XA 160 with Wilson WP7's. Try them both. | |
| Cullen Modded Sonos vs Monarchy DIP I had Cullen modify his ZP90 to accept a master clock input from a Big Ben Apogee clock. The sound is exceptional and close to my CEC TLOX transport. I tried Antelope Audio Isochrone OCX-V clock but did not like the sound. The DAC that it ports to... | |
| Good upsampling DAC w. HDMI I have the Classe SSP 800 and it imputes Fios HDMI quite well. | |
| Player that excels at imaging.. In my experience imaging and depth of sound stage has more to do with speaker choice and speaker position in the room. I have Pass Amps with WP7's. I recently moved them 1.5 feet further out into the room. Originally at 2.5 ft, bare recommended di... | |
| Pass XA versus Krell FPB Amps No, very different sounding Amp. The "tube like" lush, smooth mid range and highs are missing. More edgy high end. Make sure your speakers match the ohms of the amp. I have the XA 160 and have no wanting for power. | |
| Pass Labs XA 30.5 , X250.5 or 350.5 I have the WP7's and currently use the XA 160. Great Match with the XA series. | |
| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound I have the Accustic Arts tube Dac and the CEC TL0X transport. I rolled the tubes to the Ampex Buggel Boy long plates. It is quite involving and airy. It is different from my Vinyl sound but excellent in its own way. I love my Vinyl and CD collecti... | |
| Classe CP-700 preamp vs. other SS pre's I have the ssp 800 which uses the same preamp as the CP 700. I also have the Levinson N32 for two channel. They are both great preamps but the Levinson is slightly better in two channel. Not by very much. The 700 has a separate power supply as doe... | |
| Kudos for Krell Customer Service Classe produced a similar experience. Purchased a 5200 Amp on Gon. One of the channels stopped working. It was still under warrantee but I was not the original owner. There was also a large scratch on the side of the unit that I was surprised to s... | |
| Classe SSP-600 or Parasound C-1/Any recommendation I have the SSP 600. The Sound quality is excellent but just not quite as good as my Levinson N32 pre Amp for 2 channel. For Surround sound and movies its great. One Neg is that it does not have HDMI connections. Therefore I need a separate switch ... | |
| Purist 20th Anniversary Aqueous XLR ICs Acoustic Zen Silver are more revealing but brighter than the Purist. Both good cables but depends on equipment used. Transparent are in-between the two. | |
| Add a subwoofer to Von Schweikert 4Srs? I feel that adding Subs to full range speakers improve even the best speakers. The reason I believe it helps is because good subs have room correction software that corrects room irregularities. They are also designed to work with their own build ... |
