| Apogee mini DAC w/USB & Big Ben Hi Spinitch:I have two Big Bens in my system. It is an excellent piece of gear. I can't say much about the mini-me because I've never heard it.I've heard the new Rosetta 200 is going to be a killer dac with Big Ben jitter reduction built in. You m... | |
| Wadia 861 Mejames: Was your 270 a 270 or 270se? Was it stock or GNSC?? | |
| Digital Preamp NO video switching merge-true indeed....more money....and electronics that add noise. Too bad for those of us that use a scaler or outboard video switcher. Hopefully manufacturers are listening!!! | |
| Clocking your CD player/transport Kana-As you know...i'd NEVER use a BB before a decent power supply. But once you have the lab grade PS fired up....move to the BB and you will NOT be disappointed. | |
| Wadia 861 I'd love to compare an 861se side by side a 270se plus either a dCS Purcell/Delius or Elgar...or a 27ix. I love my GNSC modified 270se!!! | |
| Best All time 5.1 Pre/Pro I've had a chance now to put the TM8800pro through some paces...and now that EAD has worked out some of the expectable initial "bugs"....I can tell you that this piece is simply amazing in terms of sonics. For the first time ever...i'm considering... | |
| Digital Preamp NO video switching Unfortunately, you don't have many options. I'm using an EAD Theatermaster 8800pro....but waste the video switching.....because all of my video switching is done by a Focus Enhancements CenterStage 2. Oh well. | |
| Clocking your CD player/transport Before you get a clock mod, I suggest you check out an Apogee Big Ben. These things are amazing. www.apogeedigital.com | |
| Martin Logan Ascents -what rear speakers match? I have CLS IIz's up front with Vandersteen 2wq subs. On the sides, I have scripts and have found them to match quite well. You might want to check out B&G Radia speakers. The ribbon tweeter blends well with the speed of electrostats. I have a ... | |
| Wadia 301 skipping Usually this means either the lens is out of alignment or there is dirt on rail. I'd give Steve Huntley at Great Northern Sound a call. | |
| Subwoofer to match Vienna Acoustics Bach I'd add a pair of Vandersteen 2wq's to your short list. Fantastic blend by drawing signal from the speaker level outputs from your amp...but doesnt' draw any power because of input imedance of the sub amp.. | |
| Best All time 5.1 Pre/Pro I've have a Lexicon MC-1 in my downstairs system and a EAD TM-8800 in my upstairs system. Not really fair to compare the two...because the MC-1 is an old product...and the TM8800pro is brand new with the latest dacs etc. The sonics of the EAD prod... | |
