| digital front ends w/ preamp capabilities? As comments above, there are various kinds of what you are looking for. Some have "digital volume" about which some believe is not too great (volume decreases -> bits are dropped -> less resolution, etc.). Some have just a potentiometer to a... | |
| Berning ZH 270 and Power conditioning I use Silent Source Sig PC and Blue Circle Music Ring power conditioner. The dealer brought over the power conditioner and I did hear the difference for better. But, note that that may be the effect of Music Ring on CDP. My understanding is that Z... | |
| Berning ZH-270 Amplifier,Which Speaker? Sorry to be late for reply.I am using Sonus Faber Signum w/REL Strata subwoofer. If I had your budget today, I would go for Cremona Auditor with TWO subwoofers. It all depends on your taste and the room. Ken. | |
| Looking for a transport with word clock input Craig,I don't think there are many more in the market. I searched for it short while ago, too. I found only Tascam RW2000 and SONY CR66 (now discontinued). Even Tascam RW2000 has been discontinued in Japan, so it will be out in US soon. There is o... | |
| Looking for a transport with word clock input By the way, does your dCS's clock sync output BNC? If not (some high end gears have those "sync" connection, but often it is in proprietary form or cable), you just can't cheat on your wife. Btw2, TEAC, Esoteric, and Tascam are all the same compan... | |

| what happened to cd player build quality ? I think some of it comes down to "shareholder's value". 15 or 20 years ago, many stock market investors didn't care much about it. If certian product sells well being said to be good long-term quality, then it means it must be a good company with ... | |
| Review: Scott-Nixon Tube DAC, upgrade parts DA converter Diyaudio: thanks. I asked Scott to add 3xac to my order, in diecast box! Have you had chance to shoot out with dAck! yet? | |
| Review: Scott-Nixon Tube DAC, upgrade parts DA converter I, too, am thinking about this one. Actually an waiting for one to be shipped.Question about the power supply: what is the difference between 3XAC and 3XDC, or 3XAC and the "desktop transformer"? Website info is not clear about it. Desktop transfo... | |
| Best digital cable to go for? I would recommend to try Stereovox HDXV. $100.It does have BNC plug covered by RCA "cap". It made a tremendous difference in my system when changed from $300 coax cable (I mean, positive difference). Superb value. | |
| Is the Berning ZH270 revalatory? Hi Mew,No, you are not being excessive. ZH270 will keep on amazing you. It does to me. If I may add, constant upgrade offer from Allan gives addtional "wow" each time. Depending on your speakers, I don't think there are many more out there which w... | |
| What does your common sense tell you? All,Thank you very much for your inputs. I feel better now knowing that "common sense" is still "common" among good people like you all here. | |
| What does your common sense tell you? Thank you so far for very insightful advices. I am now relieved to contact the second guy.Next and last, maybe a rather moral question, but I am serious. Suppose the buyer #1 has backed away. Further suppose there are buyers #2 and #3 waiting on l... | |
| Blue Circle Music Ring I am curious myself.Go to http://www.bluecircle.com. There is "forum" on it, and do a search. I found two threads about it. You may want to throw in your question as well. | |
| Vivaldi fans lend me your ears for a moment... A Vivaldi fan should never forget about "L'estro Armonico" and "La Cetra". "Four Seasons", I agree, is a great piece, but these two are my regerence. Both are unmistakenly Vivaldi. Enjoy! |
