| copland drc 205 I bought the unit when it first came out. I had never tried any other units but as I recall, most were built into the pre-amp and I wanted to keep using my Supratek Chardonnay. The rest of my system is rear-loaded horn speakers using AER mkII driv... | |
| Amp and speakers combo- Magnepan MG 1.6/QR I would say your source for music is the problem. Try a Jolida tube CD player for example. Or try an OPPO BDP-83 SE which will give you an universal player. At any rate, Magnepans are very revealing speakers and I would think your source is your w... | |
| Ideal Preamp/Processor for 2-Channel & Phono Stage You might consider a different approach by buying a digital room connection device such as the COPLAND DRC-205.

The soundstage and imaging could be improved with the acoustical treatment as suggested by Mdowns32. You are probably getting alot of sound reflection which blurs the image and so... | |
| Altis Audio Reference Manual I have found my copy of the manual. Took a while. I have the 4V tube version w/ 4 12AU7s. There was also a 2V version with 2 12AX7s. I also have three reviews which provide some additional info about the DAC. I have had mine for about 6-7 years. I... | |
