| Benchmark Dac 1 vs Bel Canto Dac 2 ????????????? I also had both DACs in my system. I think they are both excellent DACs equaling those sold for 10 times more just few years back.The Benchmark sure had more features than you can shake a stick at sub $1k unit price. I used its preamp capability e... | |
| Amp for B&W 802N My N800s are driven by Krell as well. I also had N802s and the same FPB700Cx did a good job. Surprisingly I had good results with Bryston 7BSTs too. | |
| Switch to Krell KCT or keep Modwright SWL.9.0SE Russ:One of the main benefits of going with KCT + FPB CX amp is the CAST connection. However, the CAST has no sounds of its own and bluntly honest - resulting in no warmth or sweetness if there weren't any in the source to begin with. I sometimes ... | |

| Denon DVD-5910 Transport for a DAC??? I would recommend a Bel Canto DAC2 or Benchmark DAC. They both have dejitter circuit built-in. If you want a dedicated dejitter/digital preamp between your DVD-5910 and the DAC, try a Meridian 518. Send me a PM I have three.Ki | |
| Krell CAST Cable connector source? Thanks for the info.Can you tell me the part numbers to order?Ki | |
| Budget speaker selection help I must recommend a pair of old Paradigm Mini Monitor MkIII for the list. It goes for around $200 a pair. It's the best performer/$, IMO.Ki | |
| Jacintha's "Here's To Ben" XRCD Yes, I also have the same recording in SACD/CD version.To my ears, 1)XRCD2)SACD3)CDin that order of preference.Ki | |
| Samsung DVD HD Upsampler? I believe you are refering to DVD-HD841 or HD941. The only differece between these two model is the HDMI output on HD941 and DVI output on HD841. I own HD841 to use while waiting for the Bravo D2 to return from firmware upgrade from the factory. T... | |
| Older Bryston 4B vs 4B ST I concurr with Gunbei. I have owned all 4B flavors other than the new 4BSST. The major difference between 4BST and order 4NRB is the noise level due to the improve signal path design on ST version. The input signal path on 4BST is a lot shorter an... | |
| Update Sony CDP-XA7ES or replace ? I don't have XA7ES but have been using SCD-1 mainly to play Redbook CD's. I figure there's always going to be a better hardware as times go by. It seems any upgrades I have done in the past resulted in small, if any, improvement in my enjoyment of... | |
| Velodyne ULD 15 connects to Yamaha DSP A1 ULD 15 amp has a set of RCA "from" preamp and another set to "power amp." You may have gotten confused. If you did not change the crossover module, the ULD series came with default 85Hz crossover frequency. Make sure your Yamaha's bass managment f... | |
| B & W 805 Nautilus with SET........ Tried teh Bel Canto SET40 that puts out realistic ~35w/ch with N805. The sound was thin and compressed. I have had better luck with Merlin TSM-M with the same amp although both N805 and TSM-M have similar sensitivity rating.The N805s, for that mat... |
