| Tact RCS 2.0 Room Correction Preamp Sbfx:If you can swing it....order the RCS 2.0S or 2.2x and NOT the RCS 2.0. The RCS 2.0S was a great improvement over the 2.0.harry | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM Rsbeck:Thanks for the nonjudgmental attitude, man!!! I guess I'm a little defensive 'cause i've added all that gear and interconnects.Harry | |
| What's involved in dedicated lines Viridian:Thanks a lot. Main service panel replacement was unnecessary in our case...but in some it might be. Depending on the size of the panel and number of breakers...that can be a big job.harry | |
| Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox. Ckorody:You better check to make sure it is a U24. It says U2A even though the picture is the U24. Make sure it's not an older discontinued model. If it is a U24 that is one AWESOME deal.harry | |
| What's involved in dedicated lines I think I can be a bit more helpful on this issue. I had an electrician install 7 dedicated lines to my listening room. Basically, you have a number of decisions:(1) You can either run all of the lines from the main panel......or you can run a big... | |
| Tact RCS 2.0 Room Correction Preamp Sbfx:Interesting question. In bypass mode, the RCS is very quiet and I don't believe it adds much in the way of sonic signature. But if your room is anything like mine you would WANT it to add its sonic signature by removing the bass modes and neg... | |
| bryston sp 7.1 or ead 8800 pro????? Distortion. I have my 2 channel path and my HT in the same room. Unless you want separate rooms, it is a breeze to isolate your 2 channel path so it never travels through a processor.....even through a bypass!!! I also do primarily 2 channel liste... | |
| Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox. Ckorody:I'm still loving my waveterminal. I was working through all of the network issues, pop and click issues, network slowdown issues, build quality issues.......and....well, I'm happy as a lark with my Waveterminal. If you don't mind a wired s... | |
| Tact RCS 2.0 Room Correction Preamp Sure. In fact, this is exactly what I do. Simply set the RCS 2.0 to unity gain....and let your preamp control volume. There something to be said for doing it this way. Digital volume controls lead to some loss of resolution at low volume because t... | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM Rsbeck:Yeah...well that's the question. Let me explain so that you don't think I'm a goofball!!! The Digital Lens has been there for a long time and has a nifty remote and allows me to use lots of digital inputs. I've done extensive a/b analysis a... | |
| bryston sp 7.1 or ead 8800 pro????? Distortion:I'm glad to see you got a hold of an 8800pro for some serious testing. I've avoided running my 2 channel path through any processor. Instead, I run the L and R front outputs from the processor into my 2 channel path. I'm not convinced t... | |
| Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox. Dmitrydr:Agree with you on this. Not always, but often the quality of internal components correlates with price. By the way, I'm not using the internal dac in ANY of thes units. I'm simply running USB in and digital out. The digital signal then hi... | |
| bryston sp 7.1 or ead 8800 pro????? There have been contentious threads about this subject which you can find with a search.I believe the EAD 8800pro is sonically superior to the Bryston and to the Krell. This is based on lots of listening and comparing. At the time I decided on EAD... | |
| Experiences with SlimDevices Squeezebox. Dmitrydr:While I'm happy with the Squeezebox which has the advantage of being wireless....I'm actually a LOT more happy with the ESI Waveterminal U24.harry | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM Rsbeck:The dCS gear is doing upsampling and d/a conversion. My current path is:Powerbook G4 (iTunes) via USB to Waveterminal U24 --> Genesis Digital Lens --> Apogee Big Ben --> TacT RCS 2.0s DD --> Apogee Big Ben --> dCS Purcell ups... |
