| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 I have just ordered the CAPS v3 Carbon from Small Green Computers, so see Kr4's comments above (12-31-13).IMO - This "concept" product(s) is worth checking out. For the most part, it's plug-n-play to build it yourself, or just get it built like me... | |
| Is there a Music Player for this? It was an indirect recommendation as the result of rave reviews from forum chatter, mentioned during Six Moons' review of the Synchro-Mesh. | |
| Is there a Music Player for this? I need to make a correction. I meant to say that I prefer the sound of my coaxial connection in my current setup, over a USB one that I previously tried (different player). So, really apples and oranges.Steve, I read a Six Moons recommendation of ... | |
| Is there a Music Player for this? Okay, the Bryston BDP-2 reminds me of Chris Connaker's C.A.P.S. (Computer Audiophile) player. It adds the eSATA option for the external hard drive which I want and upgrades the OS from Linux to Atom. Chris' new version upgrades his C.A.P.S. to Win... | |
| Is there a Music Player for this? Thanks guys! I'll check out these products.Kenny | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... Johnnyb53,Personally, so with my ears, subs have always sounded strangely additive, but they may not have been set up properly. Or, maybe they were'nt matched correctly. So, my listening winners have consistently been coherent full range speakers.... | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... I agree with Karl_desch, so upgrade your speakers if you must improve your bass. There's a reason you must spend considerable bucks for a true full range. As Karl put it, "coherent balanced sound." Adding a sub may give you the low frequency you c... | |
| Network digital players--any good? I'm exploring similar options. Many manufacturers want to do it all for you, so computer, DAC, hard drive all-in-one. I don't like that. Check out the Sonore Rendu, and if that does not fit the bill, check out the products from Small Green Compute... | |
| Has anyone tried a "leather" turntable mat? No, but interesting and different. I have tried many things both purchased and home-made in an effort to better the sound of my TT of which I already feel is wonderful. I have finally realized that the solution, for me, is not to change the sound ... | |
| Remember the year and first vynil you ever bought? I don't remember my first, so children's records like Alvin and the Chipmunks (e.g., Witch Doctor). My first 'real" album was a birthday gift, from my oldest friend, Dave. So, Peter, Paul, and Mary in 1962 when I was 9.Dave played guitar as a chil... | |
| I've been gifted a pair of Thiel CS2s I own 3.6 Thiels and they like to sit into the room, so away from the back wall to provide good soundstage and image. | |
| sansui or yamaha Bombaywalla is kind in writing "much richness," where I wrote "colored sound" regarding the Sansui/DCM combo.It comes down to the sound that you're after, and 70's gear (not everything) leans towards rich/colored sound when we're talking Sansui, Y... | |
| sansui or yamaha Ih8this1, That's a blast from the past for me!I owned DCM Time Windows and Sansui gear back in 1976. I still have my TU-717!I tend to agree with Yogiboy. if my memory serves me, the Sansui/DCM combo had a somewhat colored sound, and I thought that... | |
| Audiophile Speakers with 25 yr + Longevity I own a pair of Thiel 3.6 speakers from 1995 and they sound better than ever. Of course, my gear has improved over the years. I've been having trouble replacing these speakers with new ones as they're hard to get rid of.I've always had dogs with w... | |
| dc10audio Best Sound at RMAF? There are many factors why a speaker sounds the way it does at that particular moment, especially at these shows. Finding a tonal balance that does it, is a personal preference. Best sound at RMAF? No such thing! I'm glad the Kondo guy liked the s... |
