Nationalism in Audio Products?
Anybody knows of a High End Turntable manufacturer in Jamaica? 
Nationalism in Audio Products?
Vacuumstate.com is swiss-australian I guess, tube amps preamps phono...etc.Forsell is also Swiss.Mind me I do find this Nationalism in audio a bit ridiculous, coming from a country with no audio manufacturers, (well maybe a couple) I am all over t... 
Passive Preamp?
Hello Groundhog,If using more than one source, like you with the CD, Tuner, and reel to reel, it is best to use an active preamp or you will need to really do a balancing act to have separate gain from each source and diferent impedance each also.... 
Passive Preamp?
It sounds better than most active units, it goes between your CD player or DAC and your amplifier.It is mainly a volume control with no gain since the amplifier can handle the DAC perfectly well by itself without adding another gain stage and the ... 
Today's Transport War: Significant Differences?
Osgorth, We will need then "titanium" buffers ;-) APL!!!Almost all DVD transports use buffers since the reading speed is much faster, Squeezebox uses also buffers...even so: they all sound very different, some better some worst.APL has modded from... 
do burnt CD copys sound as good as originals?
I have made a bunch of copies and playlists and I used to think the copies sound the same if not better, Then I upgraded my transport and today I think Original CDs sounds better.There are some details; Black CDs sound a litle muffled in the highs... 
What's a decent, current used transport?
Hello Tony! Wow thats a big list, I would say only the CEC 51 series or the Parasound 2000 will fit the bill, newer models ussually dont have ATT inlcuded... 
Today's Transport War: Significant Differences?
The main difference of the Flash memory would be avoiding a spinning mechanical device and the problems inherent to these...Now we will soon find out that "titanium" flash memory chips do sound better than the "normal" flash memory chips and we wi... 
Today's Transport War: Significant Differences?
Steve I am probably a future costumer of yours (after analog), I will need my current DAC to sound the same as it sounds with my current Transport..thats all!I will use a little black box (Hag-usb, offramp, Lynx card, etc.) with a digital output, ...

Pardales; I hear you man, I was there and I have a bunch of *.wav files on my hard disc, then I noticed I stopped listening to whole CDs, I would just skip through songs, then I took longer looking for that song than listening to it (probably my i... 
Experience with Raul's Essential 3150
I visited Raul this week to listen to the latest version of the Essential preamp.When we got there he was playing the Dynavector XV1 cartridge through a SAEC arm.The first impression was of clarity, everything seemed very transparent airy highs we... 
Today's Transport War: Significant Differences?
The Squeezebox streams digital Wifi and wired (I had less interruptions wired) via Ethernet, the buffer lasts for about a minute, it has an onboard DAC which was modded (power supply, clock, analog output, etc.) It "does stream digital", it sounds...

Pardales, have you tried a top transport in your system?How does it compare to the Hag-usb link?As always a general conclusion will never be met, but a personal conclusion can be drawn....I tried computer audio and a good CD transport makes a worl...

I do believe that the future of digital is through some kind of computer, Mr. Sprey from Mapleshade told me he has a wooden reinforced box for the computer in which he makes some kind of mixing. We all know the quality of Mapleshade recordings (am...
