dCS to launch a reference USB to SPDIF converter
wow, thanks for posting. My dealer had mentioned something was around the corner here. I will say the clock is a big deal, are you still running the dac alone? I recently swapped out the stock clock cable for a cardas lightnig 15 bnc to bnc, it's ... 
Upgrade Phonostage
I guess I should also say I replaced my VK P10SE Superpak with a Nagra VPS/VFS. Very happy ;-)...had the Nagra now a few years...Also I know the Audio Research phono stages are getting great press...So jmcgrogan2 has a point here...if your spendin... 
Meldhau, Raitt
I really like most of Mehldau's work. I wish more of his work is available on vinyl, SACD or high rez digital formats....thanks for posting, I'll try this new album... 
Upgrade Phonostage
Hi I had your phone stage about 6-7 years ago and upgraded. The Superpak is a big deal. The tonality and everything you like about your P10SE stays, however everything is presented with ease and flow that your current phono stage just can't do. Ba... 
Wilson Sasha vs. older Watt Puppies
Rgs92, while your question has likely been asked before, it is ok to ask again.I had wp 6's, went to 8's, then maxx 3's...the 8's go a long way, the sasha's nearly are perfect in comparison. You wont be disappointed, trust what you have heard so f... 
Any hope for SACD?
rgs92, there is a ton of classical on SACD, also downloadable dsd may breath some momentum here.I think its a niche market for a certain group. I've done several trails and hi rez digital can quite hold up a spinning disc on a quality transport..a... 
Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables...
My dealer brought 4 anaconda zitrons by today. 1 20 amp for my triton, 3 15 amp on my trans/clock/dac currently. The trans & dac had king cobra cx's, the clock anaconda cx, and the triton a kc cx. The 4 zitrons have about 3 hours in my system ... 
esoteric dv 50
Hi, I had a DV 50S for a few years. They are great players. Honestly, you're going to have to spend some money to get better play back. And a external DAC will loose the SACD (which is really nice on this player).I'd either step up in the Esoteric... 
Tonearm: Phantom vs. 4 Point vs. 10.5
Bob, appreciate you replying with your point of view ! 
VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage?
Alonski, that was my experience with my EAR MC-4 SUT. My dealer says they don't like to be moved and just need bit to settle down with signal flowing through it. I suspect it's those little wires ...I've heard a lot about Bob's devices, I might tr... 
Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2
excellent news ! I am getting real close to making a impulse purchase here! The recent reviews and comments all seem outstanding!I did try a E.A.R. MC 4 step up transformer with my Nagra VPS. It's a nice addition (currently using a very low output... 
Battery backup
most computer battery backups apparently sound atrocious...putting lots of noise out. I've used the Red Wine Audio battery supplies (they are not for back up, they replace the AC). My Nagra PLL and VPS (pre and phono) have off board AC supplies an... 
Has anybody tried the Reed 3P?
Is Vidmantas the designer? If so, it's perfectly ok to get his impressions/comments about his arm. We're all asking on this thread and it shouldn't be interpreted as a manufacturer trying to "sell" us...Thanks, Nandric, let us know when you can... 
Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables...
Is it the same kind of change as the vray ii to triton? lower noise, more clarity? If so...that's a big deal... 
Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables...
tmsorosk, The Triton is a very very nice improvement over my former v ray ll. Even cold out of the box I preferred it...from the first note...over the next few weeks just got better. You can really hear each instrument in its own place and so much...
