| Building a Power Strip, any advise? I suppose you could wait the time it will take for Peter (Pbnaudio) to run his upcoming Great AC Outlet Shootout and consider its results, one way or another, before pulling the trigger on suitable duplexes. But, I know I can recommend one thing y... | |
| Happy freakin NEW YEAR Thanks, Happy New Year everybody! | |
| Analog and Digital signals: Why settle for less? That's most probably true about generalizing. I heard I2S only a couple different times and neither were A/B'ed with coax. I liked what I heard at the time, but there have been a few times since that optical actually sounded better to me than coax... | |
| It's time for a good CD player. You could try an OPPO 103, you might like it fine but, even if you wanted more, you could get Ric Schultz at EVS to modify it for you (no tubes). Player + mods, about $1300 and it will play any format you can throw at it and sound great doing it! | |
| Hello Old Friend Funny you should say that Doug, I haven't heard that album myself since back in the day and I loved it then. Your post here makes me think I should track that one down on CD if it exists. I think that would surely take me back too!Regards. John | |
| Anti-Vibration pads: which component most? And: What pads are the best? Are some pads better than others? Do some components respond to pads better than others? Do some pads work better on different shelf materials? All these questions are the same. There just ain't no way in HAYell of kno... | |
| Placement of electronics I have a CD-only system with 4 electronic components in a backless cabinet that is only 2 feet high and the speakers are pulled out at least 4 feet and this has worked very well, so I, too, second what Grannyring is saying. But, if you can't get a... | |
| Analog and Digital signals: Why settle for less? Never could figure out why more makers didn't indeed make a more concerted effort to adopt I2S protocol...it just never made too much sense to me. Maybe, to be fair, they knew they were going to drive up costs by including it next to coax on the s... | |
| Merry Christmas Likewise!! | |
| Should I burn these? Or as the old saying goes: "No highs, no lows - must be Bose".Bose was always infamously all about marketing rather than solid engineering and to be truthful that hasn't exactly been a secret. In spite of everything you probably shouldn't burn the... | |
| Amp with RCA inputs CLOSE together. You'd need to confirm it before you buy, but the Musical Fidelity A3 CR and A3.2 CR are both well liked power amps in that power range and I *THINK* (if I recall right) that the RCA's on both amps are close enough together for you (someone please ... | |
| Best and Worst names in Audio One of the worst (most worn out) names going right now has to be Quantum (although the Alan Maher Designs stuff I tried did actually prove to be better than it would imply). | |
| Modded 103 & 105 Oppo's? Rbbrt - Wasn't aware of Mr. Curl's post until I saw yours here and of course didn't realize Oppo was taking the efforts of modders into account as they evidently are doing, thank you for setting me straight on that. I'm finding all of that interes... | |
| Modded 103 & 105 Oppo's? I certainly agree with you that the art aspect is likely one reason why so many do claim that all high-end equipment has a distinct sound. But, for my money, I find that modding can actually increase the 'art factor' in equipment that already has ... | |
| Modded 103 & 105 Oppo's? Rok2id - They likely simply don't know how to. Ric, for example, got his start building and modding amps about 3 decades ago. Along the way he picked up how to modify different caps (by that I mean the caps themselves are physically modded, on top... |
