| NEW SONY BLU RAY CD QUALITY Does the DBP-S300 do anything the DBP-S1 did not? Or better? the price is so much less and its smaller. Is it as good or just the cheaper newer version. I will not be using it for CD's. | |
| Digital vs Analog output on CD players I would only use the digital out on a CD player if you have a better external DA to use. A high end (newer) CD player should do a better job then a mid-fi receiver. But for awhile I was using an old Sony CD player (surprised it had a digital out) ... | |
| Is there a optimum lenght for power cables? When I first started buying mice cables I got the shortest ones possiable. Later as I changed things I found I always needed longer ones. Now I never buy any cable under 1.5M (2M is a good standard). Its easier to have some extra length then rebuy... | |
| newest vs older dac I can see the charm and quality in older gear but any type of DAC will go out of date faster then other equipment. | |
| Thrift store finds. Yamaha ca-600 integrated amp nothing like a great deal out of the blue. | |
| Questions/Recommendations for Extra Long Cable Run Transparent Audio can make cables in different lengths that will sound the same. But they arnt cheap and if you redo your set up you might not want diffrent lenghts. I love their products. | |
| Need help determining NOS Tubes value, 95 tubes I have some tubes that I cant find settings for on this tester. It is a Eico 625. Of them I would like to test the #83 tubes as they seem to have value. Does any one know what to set the tester for? | |
| Vienna Acoustics Bach Grand I have/had models from the Hayden all the way up the Mahlers. I love VA gear. In the pre grand line the Hayden and Bach got diffrent tweeters drivers. I believe that still stands true with the grand line. So from Bach to Mozart is a big diffrence.... | |
| Need help determining NOS Tubes value, 95 tubes Well last night I started testing. The tester used is pretty basic, but it did the job. Some tested excellent, most ok, and a few bad. So it was definately worth the time. The few high dollar ones I might retest on a more comprehensive tester that... | |
| Need help determining NOS Tubes value, 95 tubes Thanks to those that sent PM and have expressed interest in certain tubes. Special thanks to Restock for all the links. I fould all but 2 of the tubes on tubeworld.com. It took awhile but now I have a good starting price for all of them (of course... | |
| Any HD or BluRay "All in ones" for sale yet? Thats not funny. I still have my Betamax player. Haven't used it in 6 months. But I did get rid of my LaserDisk player 2 years ago. | |
| balanced vs unbalanced Jumpers: some components recommend, some dont require it. Going to balanced usually increases the gain and allows a longer run of cable with less loss. | |
| Vienna acoustics Mozart: Who knows? I have/had Haydens, Maestro, Mozarts, Beehovens, Oratorio, and finally Mahlers. I love the VA gear. I am not familiar with your equipment. But I currentaly run a pass X250 and like the results. I have heard the new Grand series. They are a bit bet... | |
| Best CD/SACD under $1500 new or used I have a DVP-S9000ES. Its great "except" that it won't play CD-R's. It was Sony's protest year trying to fight music sharing. But will play DVD-R's. For that reason I had to get another real CD player. Too bad I still love the unit. | |
| Any HD or BluRay "All in ones" for sale yet? Maybe by spring for blueray. Later for HD. Or is it the other way around? Besides it will be awhile before there are any movies out. |
