| Server/DAC Newbie Question The thing that I find interesting about the BDA-1 is the ability to run multiple components through it. It can be set up as a DAC for a computer, but also potentially perform as an upgraded DAC for a cdp. That's pretty good flexibility. Most PC co... | |
| most articulate speaker Hmmmm, perhaps I'm not understanding the meaning of "articulate" as it applies to speakers, but I would have said horns would be the most articulate, yet they are a polar opposite of the planers or electrostats. | |
| Server/DAC Newbie Question Hmmm, the JD100 is a nice player IMO, regardless of the slight colorations - very easy to listen to and pleasant, though yes, not royalty in the resolution department if that's what floats your boat. If you like resolution and neutrality you may w... | |
| Server/DAC Newbie Question Certainly the Bryston is well reviewed, but reflecting on your current system I'd probably echo the same comment as the first response: there of plenty of excellent DACs for less money, and if you cannot hear the difference between iTunes download... | |
| Ia a good amp more important than a good DAC? Should be the subject of a new thread - "Should I blow a lot of money on hookers now, or should I get the system first?" good luck getting that one past the moderators! Using the words "blow" and "hookers" a thread title would definitely get some... | |
| Ia a good amp more important than a good DAC? would I be peeing in the wind to use a great amp and a good but not great CD player?Can you hold it for a bit longer until we get to a rest stop?I'm in the source camp, and we have a little song we like to sing around the campfire and you're lucky... | |
| Whats your current Reference CD at the moment? If you're 80, she's still hot.That'd make her a GMILF. That's going to keep some guys wide awake tonight! | |
| Small monitor- made in the states Please do yourself a favor and try or at least research the Silverline minuet. Made in the USA, small, affordable, easy to drive and sound great.Hmmm, I'd agree that Alan Yun makes wonderful monitors, but I don't think his stuff is made in the U.S... | |
| Whats your current Reference CD at the moment? The very rare Romper Room series is where I go for my reference. This is only one, but the whole series is great - a real test of a system's musical prowess! Unfortunately LP's only, but you could transfer them with the right tools. | |
| Small monitor- made in the states BTW, I didn't think of him because you said "on a shelf" which wouldn't necessarily consider to be optimal so this may be moot, but then you're talking about a sub. You don't mention a budget either. If you really want to kick some very serious hi... | |
| Mullard EL34 or EL84 made in Russian Brent Jesse's Site has some useful impressions of the NOS versions of those tubes, as do other forum sites like AudioAsylum. The link is for EL84's and you can find others at the top of that page. It will depend entirely on the equipment you use t... | |
| A lost favorite. Can you help me identify the LP? The only other album I could find that has the Italian (not Spanish, BTW) version of tears is Greatest Rarities III but there's no mention of either of the other two cuts you mention. I can't even find a cover of "A Letter to Tina" by the Stones. ... | |
| A lost favorite. Can you help me identify the LP? Wow, Slow Rollers is the only compilation I could find with the spanish version of Tears. But no 'Letter'. I wonder if it was a bootleg. This collection has 'tears' and a cut called "memo from Turner"...could that be it? | |
| Small monitor- made in the states Tpdoc - Mike is retiring and ACI is going out of business. Good speakers and subs though. | |
| How to get the system sounding live? I took a quick peak at your system and it's difficult to tell what you are using (what is your "present configuration" that you are enjoying?). You have three preamps, including the Woo, and two amps...a couple of CD players and vinyl. It's diffic... |
