| DAC for Music Vault Diamond Server? Sinner and Richard, thanks for your posts. I will do some investigation on the Ayre. Does it have the MP designation? I think I am going to have to pass on the Berkely because it costs several thousand dollars more. With 5 kids some compromises mu... | |
| Bryston BDA-1 se dac This must be the signature modded dac, not the stock dac with the "se" designation. So a logical question is the modded dac worth the extra 500 dollars or so? Anyone heard the dac pre- and post-mods. Based on what I have read and the feedback from... | |
| Meridian G-08 VS Marantz SA11S2 The G-08 gives an airy, delicate, musical presentation. I had one and it was an absolutely wonderful CD player. It gets the air/space and musical decay better than any digital playback I have heard.Never heard the Marantz | |
| DAC for Music Vault Diamond Server? thanks Sc2. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? listen to a K2HD or XRCD 24; SACD perhaps. the former two play in regular CD players and in a good system sound phenomenal. Much better in fact than even most well recorded CDs. After listening to K2HD, I concluded there is no rationale reason for... | |
| Lead Shot Substitute for Loading Speaker Cabinets? Actually I LOVE these speakers. I am just trying to coax a little more out of them...maybe on the low end... | |
| CD Recorder :Fostex or Tascam? I have a modified (by Balance Power Technologies) Alesis ML9600; it makes much better CD's than the Fostex machine than I had. | |
| Ayre C-5xe vs Ayre C-7xe?? Mitch2, I sold my G08 because I got the upgrade bug. Sounds paradoxical to sell a piece of "beloved" equipment. However, if I made a mistake, I can always buy one back. I am an audiophile so I have eveery excuse not to be rationale. I am waiting o... | |
| Ayre C-5xe vs Ayre C-7xe?? Thanks Countingbackwards. I had already committed to buy a 5-MP before I read your reply. I will now get a chance to see what all of the hype is about SACD and DVD-A. Plus I will have a great player for my over three thousand CD's. The Meridian G-... | |
| Ayre C-5xe vs Ayre C-7xe?? Coolhand, thanks for your perspectives. Please enlighten me though on what you hear as the clear differences between Ayre and Meridian CD players.Thanks in advance. | |
| Ayre C-5xe vs Ayre C-7xe?? Thanks Ejlif. | |
| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? I run 300 wpc Sheng Ya monoblock solid state amplifiers on the low end and Wyred 4 Sound 125 wpc amps on the top end of Emerald Physic speakers. These are highly sensitive speakers yet they sound specatcular with the powerful amps I am using on th... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? I was a solid state amp/tube pre-amp man for years. My systems sounded great. Then I purchased Canary monoblock tube power amps and mono-block pre-amplifiers. I have not listened to my superb solid state set-up 30 minutes over the last month or so... | |
| Tube amps that kick ass? Canary CA-160 monoblocks, 140 wpc. I second their recommendation that was made to previously. I just bought a pair off Audiogon and to say the least I am very impressed. They really spank my Von Schweikert VR 4 JR's. The sound is excellent. Very g... | |
