| Wireless link from your computer to your system. There are actually many different devices to stream audio from your computer to a DAC. Also a few, like the Airport Express, that also include a DAC or are a DAC and can stream an analog audio signal to your preamp. The DAC in the AE is mediocre, ... | |
| This might be a stupid question,,but The digital connection should be a single coaxial connection, not a pair. You keep mentioning IC's, as in plural and that may be what is confusing folks. Yep a 75ohm digital cable is the ticket. In going from the signal output of your DAC you do w... | |
| old vs new DAC designs and sound differences Comparisons to my Muse Model 2 Plus keep coming up short too. I think that design comes from around 99'. Haven't compared it to everything out there though. Not even close. Still, keeps me grin'en!Marco | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Or "Bratwurstman", which has nothing to do with the viola, but may make the girls (or guys if you prefer) fantasize more about you when the surf Audiogon looking for eligible bachelors who obsess about all things audio! Marco | |
| Having second thoughts on Khorns Need help There's been some excellent advice already in this thread. I'd particularly highlight the contributions by JbsJbsl and Bob Bundus. I'd add/stress/reiterate the following:The Khorns will go low only when properly placed in two adjacent corners as t... | |
| RIP RL Burnside Saw him perform just a few years back and he had the joint jumpin' and the young ladies charmed. Godspeed R.L.!There have been a few deaths n the music world in the past few days: The Cuban singer, Ibrahim Ferrer, also died at the same age (78) ye... | |
| This may be a rhetorical ? but Yep; what they said. Just had a very similar experience in bringing my floorstanders upstairs to compare to my monitors. Both are superb speakers. Downstairs, in a different space and configuration, I preferred the monitors for their fuller sound.... | |
| Powering off vs leaving on I won't repeat any of the sage advice above except to say that I'd agree with leaving the SS on and turning power tubes on and off if you aren't using them for longer periods. As a note of further info, should you be curious or want to try to conv... | |
| want to try a SET but where to start, I have...... Hi Carlo - Yes, certainly the push/pull Cary should be fine and likely would posess many similar qualities of the Mono 10's I liked so much. I can't truly give you an authorative opinion on either having not actually heard them, only read the vari... | |
| want to try a SET but where to start, I have...... Italy71 - Current average Bluebook for the 300SEI (non-signature) is $2200. The low price listed is $1500 and the high is $3280. The last one sold for 2910.00. The Signature is a bit more. So I guess my recollection was a bit optimistic. Of the2A3... | |
| want to try a SET but where to start, I have...... I ran the 8 watt ASL AQ1005dt with 90dB ACI sapphires and it did fine except with orchestral and bass heavy rock. It really shined with Omega TS2's (94dB) and I could play it as loud as I thought practical with just about any music. Here's an exce... | |
| want to try a SET but where to start, I have...... I believe Cary makes some nice integrated SET amps. They'd likely have a beefier power supply than the Decware or ASL Entrope mentions. The power supply plays a critical roll in amplifiers and can make a huge difference in SET designs. I guess it ... | |
| USB outboard sound card comment I have the Waveterminal U24 and am very happy with it. It is a USB 2.0 device but is backwards compatible with USB 1.0. I'm pretty sure most USB2.0 devices are backwards compatible. My Macs are all USB 1 and I've never had any problems streaming a... | |
| Realy Stupid Question- how do you pronounce Teres? The real question now is, when Marco's wife calls him from the listening room It depends upon the circumstance. Should I happen to be listening to music she doesn't appreciate, and perhaps a bit too loud for her tastes (usually the case anyway), a... | |
| Realy Stupid Question- how do you pronounce Teres? Oh, for Pete's sake, doesn't anyone have a dictionary anymore. I'd assume they are deriving it from the latin word that means round or cylindrical Look it up! It'd probably be under the "T" section. I've got better things to do than to get up for ... |
