| Best standalone music server? I have been using a friends Wadia 321 DAC mostly as a learning experience. I sent an email to Aurender about compatibility and got the attach response. If I read correctly, it looks like I would never use DSD as the music offered it nothing I woul... | |
| Best standalone music server? @mahler Very sorry. It was never my intent to start a debate. I am new to forums of any kind and will have to be more attuned to what I post. I very much want to get digital music in my system and I was thrilled to hear, that the Vault sounded so ... | |
| Best standalone music server? Uninteresting that the Vault sounds the best. I would have guessed the Esoteric would be on top but it could also be the DAC making a difference. Is the Mac a tube DAC? Have you ever compared vinyl or is that a bad word, when we have obvious peol... | |
| Best standalone music server? Thank you ubewaltz for starting this post. Years ago I worked & owned audio stores. I have been out of audio for 30+ years. My bucket list included getting back into music, now that I have the time to enjoy it. I have gotten a pretty good syst... | |

| What CD player/transport has the most stable mechanism? I am new to Audiogon but have asked myself the same question as hgonzal. I have been looking at the ARC CD players using a Phillips Pro mechanism. I know they use this transport in commercial CD jukeboxes, so it must be pretty good. I have looked ... | |
| How much gain is needed in a Phono Preamp for a 0.2 to 0.3mv low output moving coil? I bid on a Pass XP 15 but did not bid high enough. Is anyone familiar with the Pass Xono? How would you compare the Xono to the EAR 864P? I have read what I could find. Can the output on the ear be adjusted or is it set? | |
| How much gain is needed in a Phono Preamp for a 0.2 to 0.3mv low output moving coil? Thanks again, I keep reading all the good words regarding the AT Art9. When I owned audio stores years ago we sold AT cartridges along with Grado, Denon, and Shure. The best one AT made was $150 and had a Shabata stylus. Compared to the others we ... | |
| How much gain is needed in a Phono Preamp for a 0.2 to 0.3mv low output moving coil? I try hard to make a good decision, so I don't have to go thru a bucket of cash trying to get things correct. That is why I started this post. I read reviews just to get a feel for the products but hearing from everybody on Audiogon that have the ... | |
| How much gain is needed in a Phono Preamp for a 0.2 to 0.3mv low output moving coil? "Thank You" everyone for the help. I have been away from this so long I will probably never catch up. I am constantly learning things and finding new products. I had looked at the Herron and the ARC Ref. but the price set me back a little. I had n... | |
| How much gain is needed in a Phono Preamp for a 0.2 to 0.3mv low output moving coil? Thank you swampwalker, I checked out the chart and it helps a bunch. I didn't want to make a phono purchase and have it limit which cartridge I could use. Most of the cartridges I have looked at are 0.3 or less so I need to find a Phono with at le... | |
| Should I consider the newer Audio Research pre & power amps, when I play records not CD's Update, I purchased an ARC Ref 5SE and a Ref 75 amp. It has to come from one coast to the other and hopefully it will arrive in tact. I will probably upgrade the B&W's to a larger model speakers and may have to get a larger amp or get another ... | |
| Should I consider the newer Audio Research pre & power amps, when I play records not CD's I have missed 2 Ref 3 over the last week. I am going to make an offer on an ARC 5SE and hope I get it. I have also been looking at the ARC 75 and 75SE. Is the SE worth the difference in money? I ordered a VPI turntable and was wondering what phono... | |
| Should I consider the newer Audio Research pre & power amps, when I play records not CD's When hooking a DAC to my computer I can use USB and I also see an optical connection near my speaker jack. Which is better to use to get the siginal to the DAC? | |
| Should I consider the newer Audio Research pre & power amps, when I play records not CD's I have read and heard from you'll that the ARC LS 25 MKll is a good pre amp in the lower price range. I know the ARC Ref 2mkll and the Ref 3 are better. They seem to never show up for sale. Why not consider the LS 26 and LS 27 over the LS 25? Jus... |
