| What is the best hard drive based player? The HD capacity on the Yamaha is 200gb.As for the price of the Mac is was mentioning? I was speaking of the MS 300, (300gb), and did have the price stated incorrectly. It has a retail price of $5100.00. | |
| What is the best hard drive based player? The McIntosh server compresses the data, (FLAC lossless), the Yamaha does not. The Mac really does need not only a display, but an internet hook-up also for best use. It downloads cover art and text.I own the Yammy and it too, for ease of use, nee... | |
| SACD player as transport or dedicated transport? Well Pardales, you know my answer-the XA9000ES!Jon | |
| Von Schweikert VR4Jr how is it w/o biwire? The VR4jr does not live up to its potential when used with the data link. At the very least one should use a matching jumper to connect the bass module to the top module. Best performance will be had using double bi-wire (shotgun) with this speake... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 JR Speaker Cables I'm surprised that you still have the 330 in your system if you went away from the MH750.Yes, well, I'm planning an upgrade to those but, I use a 25' run of IC from pre to amp. For this I need to save a bit...! | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 JR Speaker Cables Bearing in mind cables should be thought of as the synergistic link between any two components, and I may have used differing equipment than you...I used to have 750 shotgun speaker cables that worked wonderfully with some Coincident Technology To... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 JR Speaker Cables Acoustic Zen has allways been a very good match with any VSA speaker. Although I am a tried and true MIT man, both my reference 4 SE's (front) and 4jr's (rear) DO NOT LIKE MIT, IMHO. I have heard Pardalas' Kimber on the jr's and can say they mate ... | |
| Yamaha CDR-HD1300 - Any good with a DAC? I have never heard the fan in operation. | |
| Yamaha CDR-HD1300 - Any good with a DAC? Mistake made on model number. It is the new '1500. The website claims 200gb, but a rep has told me 280gb. I will try and find out more.Sorry for the mistake. | |
| Yamaha CDR-HD1300 - Any good with a DAC? Jaguar42,As I stated in a previous post concerning "tagging" titles with the '1300, it is perfect for use with an outboard DAC as it is one of the few, (only?), HD's that uses no compression.I use it into a Rotel RSP1068, (oh to have a digital inp... | |
| Von Schweikert 4 Jrs, Rear Tweeter settings? I own both the VR4 Gen IIISE, VR4jr, and the 2. For front channel use, I never use the rear tweeter, feeling that damage is done to image solidity and focus. (I also do not really like any dipole for this reason, feeling the back wave of any drive... | |
| Sony SCD XA9000ES vs SCD-1 or XA-777ES Can't make a comparison, but some early feedback on the XA9000ES:I have had it on constant burn in for only four days, so hopefully way to soon to tell. after a full listening session last night, I am.....worried. (The 9000 replaces my Perpetual T... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-1 & VRS-1 or VR-2? I'm just sick enough to feel that even the 2's need a sub! But another VERY good combo, for just a bit more, would be two LCR-15's with the VRS-1 subwoofer. |
