Roger Waters Amused to Death LP what is it worth$
i've actually cataloged my cd collection and searched for all the "must have" albums. of the small percentage that are even on vinyl, 90%+ are long oop and prices start around $50-$100 each. i think the actually software would end up cost double w... 
Roger Waters Amused to Death LP what is it worth$
and this thread only helps to reinforce why i can't afford to get into vinyl. sure, i could buy an awesome turntable/tonearm/cart and phono pre, but once i had to start buying albums..... :( 
Is it worth expanding into Vinyl???
i'm not 100% sure, but i don't think the outlaw 950 preamplifier has a phono input. i'm kicking around the idea of getting into vinyl myself and i'm pretty sure a dedicated phono input is needed to properly playback vinyl. something to do with ria... 
Question on Emm labs Dac6 vs Dac6e
as a side tangent, how does the dac6e compare to the dcc2 in regard to the dac only. i have a tube preamp so i will not utilitze the preamp functions of the dcc2. i emailed emm and was told that the dac6e only upsamples to dsd from a non-emm trans... 
Question on Emm labs Dac6 vs Dac6e
between the dac6 and dac6e, i believe the original version used aes/ebu connections for all channels while the 6e included rca connections with the aes/ebu. i think the original version also had a small fan in it while the 6e did not. i'm not sure... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
there's a pair of piano black/chrome malbecs on eBay for $3500 plus shipping if anybody is interested. they aren't mine for what it's worth. i just found it interesting that supratek gear is popping up on eBay. 
budget component in high-end system?
i use a squeezebox 3 ($299) as a transport into a 47 labs shigaraki dac. i had previous used a 47 labs shigaraki transport ($2250 now that prices have gone up). i don't notice any significant difference. i use a supratek dual cabernet with yamamot... 
Wired or wireless duet?
i use a squeezebox 3 so i'm unfamiliar with the duet interface. if all your music isn't showing up, i suppose you should try to rescan your library. perhaps somebody with duet experience will chime in. 
Wired or wireless duet?
scoly1:i understand all too well about the attic heat. these south alabama summers are killers.in my experience, i've never seen a wireless setup that operated 100% of the time. it's already so hard for me to find time to listen to music and reall... 
Wired or wireless duet?
my wired squeezebox has NEVER had a drop out. i find it interesting that you'd base your decision to go wireless on 100% testimony that wireless does drop out. to each his own i suppose. 
Noblesse Audio Furniture??
i was looking for it at one time, but could never come up with a dealer. i ended up purchasing a pair of core furniture mod3 racks (http://www.corefurniture.com/) which are very similar in design to the noblesse racks i had my eye on.a big plus fo... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
very interesting. now that supratek is defunct, i wondered how long it would take before modifications to the circuit started being proposed. while i am naturally intrigued by this, i don't think i'll mess with my dual cabernet if for no other rea... 
VSA DB99 - safe to buy semi-active used?
my dB99 speakers still perform flawlessly. vsa is still in business and offers support on all their products, so i don't think it should be too much of a concern for you. 
does anybody have core furniture racks
i received my MOD3 racks yesterday and have assembled them and placed my gear on them in static display at this time. they arrived very, very well packaged with no shipping damage which is no easy feat for two 95 lb. boxes shipped from san francis...
