| Oppo 83 transport and DAC HiI just thought I'd throw this out there. I currently use a stock Oppo BDP-83 as a transport to an older external DAC (McCormack DAC-1). It is connected via a Monoprice Toslink cable with the premium metal connector. When I get back to my listeni... | |
| Should I ground my Tice Powerblock / Titan Combo? HiSorry Bruce_Weiland if this looks familiar but I figure I'd post this so everyone may benefit.I live in a an older house and I just purchased a Tice Power Block for my audio system. The outlet I have the Tice Power Block plugged into is grounded... | |
| Threshold Stasis 2...Worth a rebuild??? Hi KolledogHow about reaching out to Threshold Audio themselves to give you an estimate on the repair/rebuild for your Stasis 2? Who knows they might come in cheaper than Jon S. I've heard of some people who had issues with Jon S and sent their Th... | |
| Gainclone vs. Pure Class-A I'm thinking about a moving to Gainclone amps from pure class A or class AB. Do gainclone amps consume a lot less electricity than Class A or AB amps? Some of my Class A and Class AB amps draw 200-300 watts at idle and require quite a bit of warm-... | |
| What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1? Hi QueefeeEmotiva is still working through the issues with the UMC-1. Per their forum they are up to firmware version W7.02.00.00. They are working through the problems and I'm sure they will get through it. It will be a really long frustrating jo... | |
| Power cable for quiet background Hi RbcI had an Emotiva ERC-1 CD player and I used a My Audio Cables (MAC) HC power cord on it. The MAC HC power cord contains 3 conductors of 10AWG clad oxygen free copper stranded wire that are braided.After letting the Emotiva ERC-1 play awhile ... | |
| Mid-priced warm sounding DAC? Thanks Dave for the input.Man do I have a lot of thinking to do. I've found an NM24 for little over $1100 but I'm really attached to my McCormack TLC-1 Deluxe Preamp and don't want to part with it. I can't justify to myself (yet) paying for the NM... | |
| New speakers designed by Andrew Jones Hmm I wonder if it was coincidence in the Stereophile article that they mention the new KEF line of speakers and then show Andrew Jones' Pioneer bookshelf speakers. Anyway I'm a fan of the older KEF speakers and would give the Pioneer BS-41s a try... | |

| Emotiva Hi OldmandaveI have an Emotiva UPA-7 amp paired with an Outlaw 990 HT Processor/Preamp. To me this is a really good combination that I'm very happy with. I had a Sony receiver/processor that was just a level below their ES line and I had a good im... | |
| Question regarding burn-in Rodman99999Thanks for the assist. I had to put in my own spin on your burn-in tip. I couldn't take listening to rap or hop hop stations by me. I had it on for a couple of hours but I'm just not a fan of the rappers out there. Plus they play Eminem... | |
| What amps for Kef 104.2 Man it looks like these KEF 104.2 speakers really like the good stuff. Plinius and Bryston. Whew.. I'm hoping when my Sumo Nine comes back from the shop it has good synergy with the KEF 104.2s. Thanks again Phaelon for chiming in. | |
| New KEF Release in September Nirodha35I think I'd rather have the KEF 207/2 speakers. The KEF Muon speakers really look like something only the most die-hard KEF fan would love. They look like they came right out of an classic Sci-Fi movie. | |
| One Super high end cable or mid level set? For me I opted for a "mid level" set of ICs all round for peace of mind and balance all around. If I had one REALLY good and expensive set of cables I'd always be wondering about the lesser quality ICs in my set-up and the impact to sound they may... |
