| MM Cartridge to MC Cartridge An easy recommendation is the Hana SL mc ($750). This has the Shibata stylus for superior detail retrieval. It is my choice for an mc cartridge under $1K. After that the skies the limit! | |
| Miyajima preamps EC-5 WO-1 A rare beast indeed since nobody has posted a review in eight years! | |
| Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls? My ARC SP6 has tone controls - but I never use them. I long ago was converted to listening to the recording (LP's) naked. I'm willing to accept whatever the mastering engineer did to the tape to get it to fit on two 20+ minute sides! Of course we ... | |
| Upgrading Power Supply for Lumin U2 mini from switching to Linear Power Supply The Oppo universal players that so many golden ears' here raved about have switching power supplies. | |
| Upgrading Power Supply for Lumin U2 mini from switching to Linear Power Supply Waste of time and money! Today's switching power supplies have significantly less noise and ripple - even the cheap ones! This can easily be verified by measurements. Any claimed sonic improvement for linear supplies is imaginary. | |
| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? My other high school friend had a Pioneer receiver, Pioneer belt-drive TT and KLH Six speakers. Traffic John Barleycorn, Buffalo Springfield, The Nice Five Bridges, Pink Floyd Ummagumma sounded wonderful! I wished I had a similar system at home! | |
| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? Listening to a friend's system in the summer of 1970: Kenwood integrated amp with meters, Thorens TD 125 (can't remember the cartridge) and Large Advents. Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland, It's a Beautiful Day, Procul Harum A Salty Dog were listened... | |
| Updated my streamer so do I now have to burn it in. Denafrips dac required it, Doing something like this gives a feeling of satisfaction. A sonic improvement is highly unlikely. | |
| Robert Schumann The Symphonies I've recently bought the CD box set of the symphonies played by George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra. It should be an interesting listen! | |
| Project CD Box RS2T and reclocker @thyname : I don't ask you what car you drive. I don't own a computer. I use a DAC that placed fifth on ASR's list of over 100 DAC's. I place my trust in science and proper engineering - not golden ear voodoo! | |
| Project CD Box RS2T and reclocker @thyname : the input receivers of all present day DAC's re-clocks the incoming data. So no need for another black box inserted between transport and DAC. | |
| Project CD Box RS2T and reclocker "C-Lock" sounds like what Wavelength was using as the input receiver back around. the same time! The cable wasn’t the problem though. It was getting the transport and DAC to sync up. A major problem which before the asynchronous input receiver was... | |
| Project CD Box RS2T and reclocker A present-day DAC should handle a signal via USB without problems. But why use that type of connector? I’d say that the onus is on the designer of a DAC having a USB input to make sure that the implementation is correct and jitter is not introduce... | |
| Project CD Box RS2T and reclocker And yes, I do use a DAC and transport connected by a coax RCA cable. | |
| Project CD Box RS2T and reclocker @thyname : If I remember correctly Gordon Rankin of Wavelength built the first asynchronous DAC back around 1992-93. No need then to sync the transport and DAC to reduce/eliminate jitter (uncertainty in timing). The input receiver of that DAC and ... |
