| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Oppo 105D Blu ray player should be quite good. It is about $1300. Or better Marantz perhaps. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? I'd say I like John Williams more than others, but I mostly listen to flamenco guitar. Paco Pena is excellent not to mention Paco de Lucia of course. | |
| Help Me Choose Timber Nation Rack-- All Wood or Threaded Rod? Yes, please tell us how it all works when you get it, I might be interested in getiing one too. Keeping the equipment on the floor works for me from the audiophile perspective but I almost fell over my amp couple of times. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Dracule1, let's just not call them 'filthy rich', they are simply rich. We don't want to start a class civil war here, really. If you ask me, I would never pay $70k for any cables regardless of my finances. Yes, it's too much! And how much is not ... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? From the OP's perspective I could probably advocate the point that most components are seriously overpriced too. As an example, you can get a great if not outstanding sounding acoustic guitar made by a famous Spanish master for, say, $7k-$10k. It ... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Chanel is classicism par excellance. Dior is 'new look' created in 50s. Both can be great, also depends on the occasion. But if choosing just one, yeah, Chanel wins. | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Rinpoche, of course that's okay. Your original Rowland/VAC choice was an excellent move.Who can afford Dior? Well, Dior jeans are about $550 and up, Diesel are about $200 or more. Is the difference big? It depends, but generally speaking not too b... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Dracule1, unless you are a rocket scientist you cannot say if this kind of science is required or not to design or build a great cable. You simply are not qualified to judge it from this angle.And another point. Some people have enough funds for e... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Guido, it is impolite to say to a woman that she is not going to have as good an amp as you do. | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC And..I didn't want to say it before but I will say it now. Having an excellent hearing and artistic taste, she is bothered by digital without fully realizing it more than by tubes/transistors incompleteness. Digital does not have analog's naturaln... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC There are many brands that could be worth auditioning, including Ayre.She chose to audition these two with occasionaly couple of others in the mix. The big question here is tubes or not. The possible question Rowland or Ayre is not very significan... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Purists would not mix Chanel with Dior, even though both are French. Chanel is best with Chanel and Dior with Dior. I've seen excellent combinations but they were not the best.But tube preamp as a buffer when using digital source is not a bad idea... | |
| What price do you put on your gear? It's not all bad, buying same titles again throws you back in time and makes you feel younger. | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC I don't know if you have considered this, but your new Rowland amp will need a good power cord, not that it will sound bad with the stock one. You don't have to match the power cord to your other cables, only to the component you are going to use ... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? So to answer the original question - audiophiles are not quite out of their minds but sometimes their neuronal "cabling" needs recalibration. More difficult in some cases than the others. |
