| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Since you are already using a PS Audio PWD II, why don't you wait for a little until more people hear the new PS Audio Direct Stream DAC? There is a kit available for retrofitting a Perfect Wave DAC for $3K. Paul McGowan claims that you will hear ... | |
| To all that worked in audio salons. I have a close friend who worked at a store in Omaha during the late-70's that was selling GAS equipment along with Phase Linear. There were always the Sheffield dierct-to-disc records, as well as Manheim Steamroller. But the one that got the most... | |
| Passive Preamp Recommendations? Take a look at Tortuga Audio and the passive they have come up with. All the reviews rave about it. I bought a board recently to start a DYI project to try it out. | |
| When to power off a tube amp? I would agree with Elizabeth. I was listening to music late one night and had fallen asleep in my listening chair. I was using VTL MB250 monobloc amps powering Maggie 1.6's. Something stirred me and when I opened my eyes I saw a shower of sparks c... | |
| VTL 150 Stereo vs. MB185 monoblocks The major gain you will achieve is an increase in soundstage depth. I tried out an ST-150 then went to the MB250 monoblocks. It was clear there was an increase in soundstage depth. I found this to also be the case when I went from a single ATI 150... | |
| Stillpoints and Wilson Maxx II or III speakers I am also considering Stllpoints and just got through with a demo at the dealer 30 minutes ago. While I must say these are the real deal, they are pricey. I asked the store rep the very same question you ask. His response was that the speakers sho... | |

And these guys have their own reasons for it; Pass for the sheer fun while experiencing unforget... | |
| I feel like an idiot; lessons learned Milpai-As far as cleaning, I use a DeOxit kit that I bought from Music Direct. It has all the tools, cleaners, and conditioner needed. It seems about every 6 months the magic fades on my system. A freshening up and cleaning always brings it back. | |
| I feel like an idiot; lessons learned You also might clean all of the connections, if you haven't done so already. I know after a while when my system wasn't grabbing me the way it used to, and I was considering what to upgrade, I would clean all connections and it would spring back t... | |
| What are the "new" brands in amps and pre-amps Wells Audio is about as new as you can get. Doug Schroeder at Dagogo wet his pants over the amps. | |
| Anyone hear of the Black Cable Tie tweak? Read more closely he does not say this is a tweak or what impact it has on the sonic presentation. I do not offer any defense of him, his company, or the products. I think he was trying to ruffle feathers - a long distance teleportation excersise. | |
| Class D with Tyler Acoustics Give Tommy a shout over at Digital Amplifier Company. I have had a few Class D amps (Trends, Virtue Sensation M901, Spectron) over the course of the last 5 years. My speakers just seem to perform better on these amps because of the speed they prov... | |
| Class D amps? Digital Amp Company and their Cherry line of amps. I have had Trends, Spectron, Virtue Audio Class D amps and the Cherry amp is the one my Son will get when I leave this Earth. | |
