| Will an external DAC work on SACD? Cerrot: Yes, it is an SACD DAC, but the problem is his universal player that he wants to use as a transport will not output the way he wants it to. | |
| Will an external DAC work on SACD? Unfortunately the answer is no. | |
| Lamm + Wadia. A Good match? I do Chris. If you like the Wadia and really want to mate it with the LAMM M1.2 Reference, then add a LAMM LL2 or L2 Reference preamp to your list. Both can be had at reasonable prices used and they would improve the sound over direct connection f... | |
| what is the best sounding turntable for 3k used? EMT 948Garrard 301Technics SP10MKIIAll benefit greatly from adding a good arm. | |
| Choosing Between 2 Turntables My vote is easily for the Garrard. It will easily hold its value better and sonically it is superior to the Raven. For a new turntable at its price, the Raven is fine, but you can get quite a bit more for your money with a vintage table like the 301. | |
| Lamm + Wadia. A Good match? I would not recommend using the Wadia for volume control. If you are going to combine those two components, make sure to add a good preamplifier to the list. | |
| Question on Emm labs Dac6 vs Dac6e Kgturner is correct. The differences are the added RCA connections and one less fan. Some of them had rackmount ability and some did not. Sonically there is no difference. | |

| How good is the phono stage of the VAC sig.II pre- When done right,a built in phonostage can be superior due to the lack of external connections and shorter connection paths. I would order the unit with the phonostage and you could certainly compare it to external ones. I think you will find it to... | |
| Review: Playback Designs MPS-5 CD Player Wow, Ted really does write well. I thought he only knew how to write code :) | |
| synergy between preamp - amplifier: dartzeel Michael, thank you for your comments on the darT combo. I certainly agree, but as the NA distributor, would you think any differently. :)Bar81: Thanks for you input... even though it is not pertinent to this thread :)Jonathan TinnBlue Light Audio | |
| Turntable speed measurements for speed accuracy? The reason is that most manufacturers, including those who publish measurements, do not measure at the platter and probably do not know how. What is widely done and extremely misleading, is to report the accuracy of the chip used. This information... | |
| Best recording of "Fanfare for the Common Man"? I agree with Newbee and add the Atlanta Symphony/Louis Lane version on Telarc (SACD or CD). It is surprisingly good! | |
| Give Up? Sounds like a few possibilities:DC output from the DAC wreaking havoc. DAC and transport are not linking up and the amplifier is going in and out of protection mode.Take out the new DAC, replace with old and see if the problem reoccurs. If it does... | |
| Grand Prix Audio Monaco Turntable I am an owner of 6 EMT 948, 1 EMT 950 and 2 Technics SP-10MKII turntables. I have always endorsed direct drive and for good reasons. I have also owned many top belt drive and idler drive tables. Direct drive is clearly my favorite. This started ma... |
