| Is this a reasonable Audiophile Mac-based Server? I'm considering a Mac based server w/ outboard DAC, and just read in the current issue of Stereophile; Manufacturer's Comment from Benchmark Media Systems concerning "iTunes 7.5 bug" that sounds suspiciously like S789f's dropout problem....can any... | |
| Confusion about "high-end" racks Well the thread does say "high-end"..... exit sheepishly, stage left already :-( | |
| Confusion about "high-end" racks Kenny, Larry, HRS; whew, yea, pricey, sure are purty though. Chiroman; I like the modular nature of my Adona racks, I've already added as my system has grown, have also had to adjust shelf height to accommadate a top loading cd player...that was h... | |
| Confusion about "high-end" racks Going on the assumption that very few people have done a/b comparisons...if I was gonna spend the dough we're talking here I would want it to support anything I threw at it, And, look good doing it, HRS ;http://www.avisolation.com/ Now if I aligne... | |
| iPod/iPhone Audio Quality Ejlif, there is a debate now about the sound quality of the new Classic 6th generation Ipod versus the prior 5th generation Video ipod. Although the signal path is apparently more direct, Apple sourced a new DAC some feel inferior to the Wolfson (... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. I'm missing something here, (not surprising actually) but I thought the industry was trending towards a more accurate / neutral presentation, characterised most definitively by the newest speakers from Sonus Faber and tube gear from Conrad Johnson... | |
| New sonus faber Cremona M version Tda2200, I think you should consider yourself lucky; you know what you like & you'll save $$$ to boot. Also, newer does not always mean better when individual preferences are factored in. Enjoy! | |
| New sonus faber Cremona M version Tda2200,All is not lost, this could work in your favor. If the new M's don't float your boat why not pick up a pair of the originals as their unloaded in a mad scramble by the owners to stay current. | |
| New sonus faber Cremona M version Tda2200Most die hard Sonus Faber fans I've talked to admit to a more neutral, less romantic direction taken by the company, but they generally like the results. Anyway, the speakers definitely need some run in time...keep us posted. | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH "One thing IS apparent, listening to an MP3 on a cheap PC, is NOT a professionally accepted way of auditioning (anyone, correct me if I am wrong here) $20-120k components"Could the point be that if a preference can be demonstrated with a recording... | |

| Dali Helicon 800. What components match with it? This from Dali when I was looking to power my Euphonia MS5's, close enough, no?; I went from SS to tubes as recommended and consequently just fell in love with what tube amplification did for my speakers. My amp is the McIntosh MC2102 w/ 100 or so... | |
| ground connection on dedicated line? Audiophile's and there zeal to avoid noise forget about the safety aspect of a ground wire. Your equipment needs the ground (the bare copper wire) connected at the receptacle and directly back at the main breaker panel on the ground bus so you hav... | |
| Is 10/3 OK instead of 10/2 wire Audiophile's and there zeal to avoid noise forget about the safety aspect of a ground wire. Your equipment needs the ground (the bare copper wire) so you have a return path to trip the circuit breaker in the event your component has a short betwee... | |
| McIntosh - is it that great? Dbarger, how does your ARC Ref 3 mate up with the MC402? This past w.e. I heard a demo of the new C2300 & MC250 driving the Quad 2805's, so you bet I'm envious. Some though have complained of an impedence mismatch between Mac amp and Arc pre..... |
