| Sonos Questions Hey Steve, not to argue but Soundstage noted in their review that the 48/96 both upsampled and reclocked for jitter reduction?? For those of us wondering if reclocking is needed woudn't starting with $300 for a $300 sonos unit be warranted before ... | |
| Sonos Questions Find a monarchy audio dip that reclock the sonos and see if it helps. This unit has been highly praised and said to be a must component. This can be found for $200 or less. I'm thinking of buying for a trial. If I note a dramatic difference then M... | |

| audiophiles get mention in today's WSJournal Hodu,Sorry to offend and maybe I should have stated dying as news print is continuing to loose readers on a yearly basis. I just don't enjoy my hobbies being the pointless/needless sarcasm of someone who doesn't understand why we love what we do. | |
| audiophiles get mention in today's WSJournal All audiophiles don't spend $50,000 on turntables. This guy is one of the many reasons I quit reading the newspaper. Seriously, why would I listen to a guy whose medium is dead?? | |
| Single-box systems; a no-interconnect alternative? Too much in one box for me. I've had the old tv/vcr or tv/dvd combos in the past. Never failed that the video player portion went out. I would personally stay clear of them. MHO. | |
| Why use CD Transport instead of computer source The high end transports sound better for two main reasons.1. Higher end components than most hard drive computers.2. We want them to because we spend so much money on them. If you get a high end DAC, hook both products up for processing and take a... | |
| Shipping damage protocol? Please Help. Agree UPS is terrible for audio. Use BAX or Fedex ground. Also, keep your cool as above, but notifly audiogon and have the sellers account on hold pending resolution as proof you aren't going away. | |
| Shipping damage protocol? Please Help. The rules are clear. It's neither of your faults, however, it is his responsibility to refund you NOW. I had this happen early on in my audiogon trades with a pair of PSB 5T floor standing speakers. The buyer received them with a blown woofer. Tho... | |
| Are modern speakers better than old speakers? I am a Merlin speaker fan. Now I haven't personally auditioned speaker's produced 15-20 years ago by them, but I'm going to bet from reading forum enteries that my modern units are substantially improved. BTW, I use these for 2 channel only. | |
| I am interested in upgrading my late 80's system? Try a primaluna prologue one integrated tube for $750 used here on audiogon. That will leave you $1200 or so for speakers/cables. I would upgrade the cables from the 80s as well. BTW, buying here will provide you with much less expensive equipment... | |
| HELP ... Mac MIni and Bel Canto DAC3 Problems ... I had a similar problem with my bel canto DAC 2 aka the brick. I had frequent drops in signal as evidenced by the input signal light changing color every 20 seconds or so. Needless to say this was a pain. The sound was great in between. After a go... | |
| Warner and Blu ray? What gives with beating up on Sony?? They took the punches with Betamax, which WAS a superior product to VHS. Now they have another likely superior product but are marketing it effeciently. BTW, I don't work for them. | |
| Sonos Questions Sonos has increased my listening time dramatically as I am a flipper and change cds often song to song. This is easily done by the sonos, but was a pain if done manually. Also, sonos doesn't have to be wireless. You can connect each zone in line w... | |
| Good CDP with digital input/DAC capable Feeding into ARS Filharmonia integrated and Merlin VSM-MM. I like the AA Capitole but that's quite a large investment. Thanks for all of the suggestions. |
