| Small hi-res player? that would be great. I'd be ready to go with the pcm 192/24 and a portable with a digital output.I would guess that it is the drm on sacd and dvd/a sources that is a sticking point. | |
| Small hi-res player? tripped over this thread while looking for something else, and now I cant even remember what I was looking for.What a great idea! Especially now that portables have such large memory capacity.We are talking about an ipod-like portable that would p... | |
| Upgraded Sonos ZP-80 Power Cord just in case anyone ever checks back on this thread. There is an adaptor that you can put on an IEC power cable to make it fit a c7 input like the sonos. cable co. has them for $20. I am going to give one a shot for grins. | |
| Dedicated Lines, Now what? terra3 - good question. Right now I have my amps on one and my pre and dac on another. but I have not done the a/b work to compare the dedicated lines to the common lines. I need to experiment with plugging things into different lines to get a fee... | |
| Dedicated Lines, Now what? Hevac1-It is all outputs. And my center channel as well (and it dosent go thru my 2ch pre at all) | |
| Dedicated Lines, Now what? nope it was always there. but if it is normal that is good enough for me.thx! | |
| PS3 as source? Riley - Thanks. Saw that. Was hoping that if I described the sound that I was getting that someone would tell me that I had and internal setting wrong that would fix the problem. Because it dosent just sound like a "bad" cd player. It sounds "wron... | |
| Cullen ZP-80 Mod and D-Link 3 mod I finally took the time to plug in one of my non modded sonos zp80's next to my cullen modded zp-80. I then tried to A/B. It was not blind and I had to swap the coax cable that runs to my benchmark DAC but I could tell a differnce (I thought).My n... | |
| Large listening room JohnssThat makes sense. Do you have a fave test cd?I haven't done this work yet but I think that I need to. | |
| Large listening room Heard Audio Physic scorpio. VA Mahler, PSB Synchrony. Settled on the scorpios. I think that I am partial to treble detail which is why I was drawn to the 805s's in the first place. I really wanted to like the viennas more because a friend who's ea... | |
| Purist elementa advance anyone heard ? Yes. These were my fav's after hearing museaus, red dawn, jps suppercond+ and a few synergistic research in same price range. System is JRDG Capri, NuForce, B&W 805s.There are a couple sets on usedcable.com at the moment i think. | |
| How different between B&W 804s & B&W 805s???? I have 805s's and originally ran them with a marantz sr8001 untill i put the money together for the MA6900. That was a huge jump for me and by far the equiment upgrade that stands out in my memory as having the largest effect. My marantz AVR has n... | |
| what kills soundstage depth? Rake made a difference too.Thanks folks. Gotta go about finding the most stable way to set the rake. I have target stands that have carpet spikes that are adjustable in height. But I don't think I want something that heavy leaning. So I am thinkin... | |
| what kills soundstage depth? Shadornechanged to the configuration that you outlined. It does get rid of the headphone effect. I still feel like the presentation is 2 dimensional but at least it is not right up in my face. I think that I will try pulling the speakers way out i... | |
| what kills soundstage depth? Shadorne-Yes. That is what the rocking chair is for. Came to the same conclusion on that issue.$15 garage sale rocking chair has been biggest improvement so far. At some point I might get a more comfortable low back chair that is spouse approved b... |
