| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I asked this elsewhere but wanted to move this discussion here since it concerns adding an LSA to my system. I've read a lot here about DAC output impedance and power amp input impedance but less about sensitivity. To give an example, my DAC has a... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound experience with 804Ds I've just started using exactly this amp with my Maggies and have exactly the opposite experience, finding it a very warm sound (which I like). This warmth is identified by a wide swathe of critics, not just Ebaen. The W4S is detailled. Could it b... | |
| What's your profession? Age? I'm 45 and a finance director at an industrial firm. Two beautiful kids. I have a main system that retails for about $7k. Still upgrading but it sounds very good. 18 months ago I decided that I had better listen to all that music I had been puttin... | |
| Help a confused newbie build his first setup... Aldres - You need to check out Magnepan MMGs. New at $600 and can usually be found here at $400 in good condition. An amazing speaker and widely thought to present unbelievable value at this price. It requires a good set of upstream components so ... | |
| Is the Monarchy DIP effective? Jedinite - The jitter measurements for another Oppo player (the DV970H) using SPDIF were multiples higher than other budget DVD players according to measurements taken in 1 2007 generally-positive Stereophile review by Wes Phillips. I would look f... | |
| Have you ever got emotionally attached I hope all of us are emotionally attached to the gear we really like. I have several components that I have affection for. They are quality products with sophisticated attributes and have given me much pleasure over the years.Mrtennis - Most sane ... | |
| Need Coaching re: Maggies & Subs About the room size, you are on the edge of having a room a bit too small for the 1.6/1.7 models. I recommend you look at the Magnestand site for some pointers on models and room size. | |
| wyred4sound amps GreggD - "I just dont want W4S to be a victim of their hype. Its a great amp for $1500, but its still an amp for $1500." I'm all for level-headed cost comparisons but isn't one of the advantages of W4S amp pricing that they dispense with a) ret... | |
| Scott Nixon Tubedac = WOW I also am a very satisfied owner of the SN TD-2 DAC. I recently bought the 4xac power supply from Scott, expecting a modest improvement, with a little more slam. Instead, my system became more detailed, even significantly so, which was surprising ... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire Interesting thread. Bump. | |
| power amp question I used my good Rotel RA-02 preamp outs when I first got a power amp. I was blown away by the change - esp in dynamic control - when I went to a dedicated pre-amp. So what you're suggesting is certainly OK but I think it would be an interim step fo... | |
| Oppo as transport Jedinite - I use the Oppo 980H as a transport into a NOS DAC (so non-jitter reducing). I'd be interested in hearing comments on the DTU Pro32. Any other standalone jitter reduction equipment recommendations or commentary would be welcome.I'm actua... | |
| Maggie MMG I'll concur with Pckiing about MMGs and rock. I think they are better suited for rock than classical (which is what I listen to). One of their weaknesses is underplaying dynamic contrasts. Well, rock music mixing keeps most songs at a pretty flat ... | |
| Early Music-----Machaut "Le Remede de Fortune" Shubert -I strongly recommend this Dufay motets recording by the Huelgas Ensemble. Stunning performance of some very beautiful music.http://www.amazon.com/Dufay-O-gemma-lux-Guillaume/dp/B00004TC4W/ref=cm_cr-mr-titleI'm not a fan of Machaut's music... | |
| what percentage of us really knows sound Juan writes: "Do you think, the Director [sic] of an Orchestra, is listening for inner Details?"Are you serious? Darn right the conductor is listening for details. Preparing an orchestra is about things like making sure the bassoons are just a tad... |
