| Assemblage 3.1 vs. EVS Millenium II DAC Sean,Are you a new customer for Ric, or are you a customer who is upgrading from one of his previous DACs? I'm asking because I now have the DAC 1B, and is on the waiting list to upgrade my 1B to the II. Just want to know if Ric was getting closer... | |
| Bob Crump Custom Power Cord My complete system uses T.G. Audio power cords (except my transport), per recommendations from the "Bound for Sound" audio newsletter (I'm only a subsciber to BFS). There are three types of power cords that Bob makes:1.) HSR "i" Rev II: for use wi... | |
| Speaker Grill Cloth, On or Off I have some Osborn Epitomes w/extra woofers, that have a very transparent mesh grill on the speakers (you can actually see the drivers through the grills).I therefore leave the grills on at all times. | |
| Opinions on Sonoran cables I have recently purchased two pairs of Catus Oasis (now called Signature) interconnects from Ric Schultz and Robert (from Star Sound, the makers of the Audio Points and Sistrium equipment racks). The cables are made by Brent Riehl in Nebraska. The... | |
| Rate the Audiophile Publications I agree with Jaica, BFS is a newsletter based publication that is both informative and a good read. I have used their method for breaking in I/Cs,their recommendation for powercords, and the various tweaks we audiophiles love to play with. | |
| Digital cable recommendations? Ric's own EVS digital cable for $75.00 is a steal for the performance. The cable is very detailed, yet not sterile. It presents the music as a cohesive whole, not fragmented.I've been using my digital cable from EVS, since my first DAC I purchase.... | |
| Sierra amps with BAT VK5SE? The Sierra amps will work with your BAT source. The amps input impedance is 100Kohms using the RCA inputs(single-ended). The 100k can drive any load. The amps impedance is low (2200ohms) when using the XLR (balanced) inputs only.If you use RCA's f... | |
| Wanted: EVS Millennium DAC 1 opinions I have owned a DAC-1A for about 3 months now, and this is the best DAC around for the money ($650.00). I use Ric's DAC and modified Sony Transport as my front-end. I have had to upgrade my preamp and amp on occassion, but not the EVS components. V... | |
| Best Power Amp for Adcom GFP 750 Pre? I agree with Sean, however if you plan to use the pramp in the passive mode, the 750 with the Sunfire Signature amp is excellent. | |
| MSB III vs. Soundstream DAC-1 by Krell The EVS Millenium DAC -1A is the way to go. I have owned an EVS DAC ($650) for about 8 months. The performance is great. Ric Shultz (of EVS) also modifies MSB DACs, but his own design is superior. Check the comments found in audioreview.com. For t... | |
| Best Vanishing speakers Have you heard the speakers from Australia? The Osborn Epitomes with extra Woofers.Check out their review in the latest Bound for Sound publication. Unbelievable transparency. | |
| Best Preamp to drive Sierra Audio Amps? Thanks Acuujim, What is the o/p impedance of the Audio research ref One? Most high qulaity tube preamps have an impedance of 300-600 ohms. This I thought was too high for the amps input Z of 2200 ohms? Is this not true? If not, than this opens up ... |
