| Bryston BDA-1 used V/S Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2 All apple computers have a toslink out-put so you could used a computer with the Bryston anytime. My Benchmark DAC1-HDR has a "good" USB imput that sounds very bad compared to the toslink. USB has a long way to go still. I have owned a number of D... | |

| Thiel CS3.7 and CS2.4 comparisons? Larry,Thanks for the very detailed information. I do not know a lot about the technical aspects of electrostatic speakers but it appears Sound Labs has has done it's research on the subject. I will make an effort to hear them sometime. | |
| Flat Screen Recommendations: 50 to 60 inch Looked at them all. The best one for the money IMO is Samsung's PNC8000 63" plasma. It does make a little buzzing from the front of the screen though. Many other TVs are good too but Samsung's new line will be very hard to beat at any realistic pr... | |
| 2.0 or 3.0 or 4.0 for HT Movie Audio? To answer your question:Without the sub I would just to 2.0. The sub is what makes home theater. With a sub I would take 4.0 over 3.0. For what it is worth I have done 2.0,2.1, 3.1, 5.2, 7.2... back to 2.0, over the years. Now my current setup is ... | |
| Thiel CS3.7 and CS2.4 comparisons? Ok thanks Larry, I know Quad recommends changing panels every 5 years. Martin Logan was not as direct with my question and said it depends on atmosphere (dust, temp, moisture, etc) but reading though the martin logan forum 5 years seems to be the ... | |
| Thiel CS3.7 and CS2.4 comparisons? Larry, I will try and hear the Sound Labs some day. The only electrostatic speakers I have demoed is the Martin Logan line, I thought the CLX was pretty nice but out of my price range. It did many things better than any speaker I have heard but th... | |
| Thiel CS3.7 and CS2.4 comparisons? Larry,I enjoy them and it is really that simple for me. Do they sound like a piano... I have no idea, pianos all sound different, what one do you want it to sound like and in what setting? The question for me is, does the recording sound like a re... | |
| Magico Q3 vs wilson sophia 3 I have to agree with Keithr. The Sophia 3 and Sasha sound very similar and unless you have a very large room and or odd seating distance, needing the adjustable head the differences are not worth the price. | |
| Thiel CS3.7 and CS2.4 comparisons? Soulbrotherjoachim,Thanks for your comment, I was starting to wonder if I was losing it by thinking my $10,000ish system was out performing $30,000+ systems. I understand that people like different things but sometimes different is not better.I wa... | |
| Magico Q3 vs wilson sophia 3 If I read your post right your room is 48sq meters (or 144' sq.)?If that is correct your room will be about 12'X12' and I don't think you need speakers that big. I would save some money and look at the Magico V2 and add a few other brands to demo.... | |

| Thiel CS 3.7 vs Tidal Piano Cera I read through it, thanks for sharing.Congratulations on the limited addition. | |
| Thiel CS 3.7 vs Tidal Piano Cera Bvdiman,I would like to hear your thoughts on how they sound compared to your out-going magicos. I can't remember if you had the Mini or V3 last.Sorry to get the thread off topic but it is old anyway. | |
| WAV versus FLAC Jax, Yes that is some what my point. If there is a difference in the formats it will be at the extreme highend of the frequency. Not sure many of us really (myself included) here it anyway.I guess my point is the difference is very small, and our ... |
