Best used DAC around $500
I'm delighted with my PS III running balanced. 
Wilson-Benesch A.C.T. 0.5 arm azimuth
I second what Seeingeyedog posted. Have this arm today and the counterweight is always canted. Why should this be? I guess because the arm weight is not evenly distributed on either side of the pivot point. Perhaps more of the cartridge's weight i...

Neil Young? Okay, not under the radar per se. . but a rocker nonetheless. 
Cant understand Meridian Gear
Hey, I am not familiar with the 561 per se, but I think you may need to configure the CD input to use the Analog input. Meridian let's you choose what plug set (on the back) is used for a source such as CD. This way, if you have a CD player that p... 
Cant understand Meridian Gear
Hi Mudcat. . .Meridian's gear is highly flexible but the byproduct of that is that it can be confusing. As Porschecab has offered, I too will offer to help. For what it's worth, some of the G series stuff can be configured as a traditional analog ... 
Meridian 5xx vs newer lossless systems
Glad to hear that. I have a 562v/518/565 stack that are also comm linked to a DSP5000c and D1500 subs. The stack is in my media rack and the speakers are on another floor of the house. With everything connected, the center speaker is the receiver ... 
Meridian 5xx vs newer lossless systems
Hey Brax:Sorry for the delayed response--have been working like a fiend lately and not enought time to check a'gon.You should definitely be using the comms cable. . . the 565 and 562 will become basically one seamless unit with the comms connected... 
$20 XLR cables that sound good
Yep, I've been using Mogami and Canare Star Quad balanced cables with Neutrik XLRs that I get from Markertek (a video supply house). Can't tell any difference with moderate priced consumer audiophile cables (but haven't compared to the really high... 
B&W Cdm 1nt vs B&W 685 ???
You might fine this thread useful as it posed a quite similar question (and one to which I responded). 
HELP - I Weird Hum or FeedBack Problem
Abill:Could be the motor of your tt is putting out enough EM for the cartridge to be picking it up. Might be good to know what turntable and cartridge you have. There are certain cartridges that are known to be susceptible to this.On the other han... 
CAN THE PARASOUND CBD 2000 DO IT???/
Yes! I just reponded to your other thread. Enjoy! 
Is it the transport or DAC that enables HDCD/Red?
I can confirm that HDCD takes place in the DAC, enabling you to use your choice of transport. In fact, in addition to using a dedicated transport (Rotel RDD980), a CD/SACD player (Marantz 8260) and a network player (Airport Express), all three str... 
Floorstanders designed to be against the wall?
I believe I once read that the Audio Physic can be setup against the long wall and toed in almost directly at the listener. There was a S'phile review about this some years ago and maybe the AP website has some info about this. Also, the Wilson Du... 
Setup question
You could use an Airport Express with a mini-optical digital cable feeding a conventional DAC (no need for USB). I run this way into three audio systems in my home. Nice, cheap, simple and I'm able to control it all from my iPhone.I don't stream w...
