| Bryston 3B-ST or 4B-ST The Brustons are great. But the new kid on the block in that price range is the Marsh A400S, for $2000 at 200 wpc and more transparance, as good if not better bass control. Definitely, definitely worth auditioning. I have owned one for three month... | |
| Good entry level transport? Get a DVD player with true 24/96 digital output (about $400 street price) and the MSB Link DAC, fully loaded. | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals OK fine, I'm a troll. Now please explain to me why CD-Rs sound different to the source material in your system. I would love to learn something I don't know. | |
| Silverline Sonata? I have owned these speakers for several months. There is nothing wrong with how they are built. The build quality is as good as the best speakers around. They have a beautiful, real wood veneer. For some reason Silverline's Mr Yun has garnered a l... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? Sedond, sorry it took so long to respond: I'm going digital. I'm panning to get the TACT room correction system, add a DA module and feed the amp directly. Cheers. | |
| amp for B &W 801 Wait until the new 350 wpc Marsh is out and try it out. You'll have 30 day factory direct. Also suggest you try the Bryston 7BSTs. Both huge bang for the buck. Try them before you spoend big bucks for Levoinson or Krell. If you want to spend get J... | |
| electrostatic with detail? SoundLab #1 choice, followed by the Innersound Eros. Otherwise get Maggies and add a Carver subwoofer. | |
| Need Help with Speaker Selection All of the speakers you are considering are definitely worth an audition. I suggest you pick the one that sounds the best on your favorite source. You can't go wrog with any of them in my opinion. | |
| Bryston 3B ST or McCormack DNA 1 I recommend you get the Marsh A400S which beats both by a wide margin, and is in a different class altogether, for almost the same money. | |
| Silverline Sonata? Please note that this Tedr is a bogus person himself. Again. Sonata's are excellent speakers. Probably Tedr is a dealer for a competing brand. The Sonata is a complete bargain, if you like the way they sound (many people do). | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Your reasoning is completely wrong. You posted "If they were exactly the same, then ALL cd players and transports would sound the same too." What does that have to do with anything? We are not discussing whether there are differences between compo... | |
| Upsampling and Stereophile Garfish, I understand that 24/96 players from, for instance Ayre and Muse read and decode 24/96 code from audio DVDs from Chesky, Classic Records, etc. | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Please explain to us all, in your own words, why CD-Rs sound worse than the originals if (i) there are no errors in the copying process, and (ii) the information is stored in a digital (i.e. discrete) format. Unless you dispute (i) or (ii) in whic... | |
| Silverline Sonata? The thread mentioned above is a bogus review. The Sonatas in both versions are great value for the money. I recommend them strongly. They were among the selected systems in a recent TAS issue. There are several for sale because of the recent model... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Hey Jerko, (C-eber), fighting and benchpressing have nothing to do with each other. I see your ideas on that topic are as incoherent as those on CD-Rs and regular CDs. I'm thinking I may want to do an A-B comparison with you on both. |
