| DAC Recommendations Please Assuming your budget is $700 from your choices, I'd also consider MHDT Labs Paradisea+ and Havana. Both are very nice DAC's at their price points and do posses the qualities you mentioned. The Havana would have to be a used buy at $700-800. | |
| Preamp recommendation $2500-$3000 for ref 1000's I drove mine (since sold) with a Modwright LS36.5 and the results were excellent. Could be found used for a bit more than the top of your range, but well worth it IMO. They don't come up that often on the used market though. | |
| PLEASE HELP ASL Hurricane Blew Up? No Jokes Plz A loud explosion would cue me in to a blown cap or something else internal (probably easily replaceable). If it were just the tube that arced you may have also lost a fuse in the process, but given the explosion I'd take the advice above, or wait ... | |
| are all amps equal If you dampen the volume knob with gum, you have then opened up a NEW gate to Audio my friend.... Everything will be more liquid and real.It will double your pleasure, and double your fun! | |
| Oppo Blu-ray ??? But how does the SACD and DVD-A compare in sound quality to my Denon 5910 universal player with the analog audio output?I don't know. Furthermore, anyone's answer to that question would only be speculation, and even then it's really entirely subje... | |
| are all amps equal I've found over the years of going back and forth between full-range speakers and speakers that don't deliver the low end (sub 35hz), that, like Grant, I get more overall enjoyment from speakers that make basement deliveries. I do not lean towards... | |
| Oppo Blu-ray ??? Ok the Video.1.How is the Video on Blue Ray and DVD?I'm guessing Kal cannot comment on the video performance because of his pending review. The BD93 is supposed to be built upon the foundation of the 983H DVD player using the same Anchor Bay chip ... | |
| are all amps equal Yes, Detlof is right about Tvad being right; "No", is the correct answer. Drubin is also right - your friend is wrong.One could have a system which is not very revealing, or poorly chosen, where differences in amps may not be very obvious, or spec... | |
| Are there any Violin or Cello players out there? $5000 for a fine instrument seems pretty cheap. Would these be good for young people who can't afford $50,000? I worked on photographing some beautiful older Italian made cellos over the course of ten years. The images are very technical and shot ... | |
| Adding a Subwoofer to Khorns Now, about what Jax2 point out on " you need something very fast " we can read here something that help to understand that there is no such slow/fast sub performance device: forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr....Interesting read! Thanks for the link, R... | |
| Emmylou Harris - All I Intended to be - Love this Not, "Three Girls and a Guy" (though that works too), "Three Girls and their Buddy" | |
| Emmylou Harris - All I Intended to be - Love this Man, I was checking out her site and found out that Emmylou will be touring with Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin and Buddy Miller ("Three Girls and their Buddy Tour") That's a show I'd not miss. Tickets are currently on sale for at least one venue. Al... | |
| Emmylou Harris - All I Intended to be - Love this I'd completely agree with all of Dgarretson's picks with a special fondness for Wrecking Ball. You might also enjoy "Written in Chalk" the new release from Buddy and Julie Miller, as well most of Patty Griffin's albums (the exception might be "Fla... | |
| Paradisea owners Is there a difference between a 5670 GE black plate and 5670 GE 5 Star? Which one do you prefer in the Paradisea?I've only tried the 5-star (don't think they have black plates - grey as I recall). It's been a while since I did that comparison, but... | |
| A question of bass... Several actually. I'll step out on a limb even further and give you my theory why it cost money to make bass go low and sound natural. Now daddy may be taking his belt off! Obviously there is the money in the actual driver, driver materials, as well as the crossove... |
