| Fine speed adjustment on Empire 698 ? Most Empires, afaik, had crowned pulleys and a screw adjustment on one of the motor mounts to shift the belt on the pulley. A crude but effective speed adjustment.A more elegant and $$$ alternative is a VPI SDS controller. | |
| Best DAC with Volume Control? Nagra DAPTheta Gen VIII | |
| Redbook layer on SACD - good enough? In addition to all his other comment with which I concur, Ben Campbell wrote: "So if the information on this is correct then the DSD process can be used to make CD's as well as SACD's."Only if it is converted to PCM as it usually is. I was questio... | |
| Redbook layer on SACD - good enough? "is it common to manufacturers to make CD layer worse then SACD layer intentionally?"Dunno. They have been accused of it but, aside from the DSOTM SACD, I know of no evidence. | |
| Redbook layer on SACD - good enough? "And more important is SACD being played on SACDP sounds lot better than DSD layer to be played on Redbook CDP at the same price range, or even more expensive."How do you play a DSD layer on a Redbook CDP? | |
| Redbook layer on SACD - good enough? Buy it. No difference unless the manufacturer intentionally wanted to make one. | |

| upgrading from McCormack DNA-1 to.....? I doubt it's the McCormacks. Have you tried the SL3s in your room with another amp? | |
| Revel Studios and Tube Amps Probably but your room and listening habits are factors. I use them with 200wpc tubes and similar SS amps. | |
| Exceptional Recording of Carmina Burana And from left field..... I like Fruhbeck de Burgos (more swing and flair than others) and Kegel (more rhythmic power). | |
| Amplification for speakers from the 60's You should consider a tube power amp, like one of the Dynas, in the 35 to 70wpc range for these. A modern integrated like the NAD or Creek might work but I am guessing here. The bass is ample but there's no cure for the hard and beaming HF. | |
| Multiple output preamps? The SF LineX series have 4 outputs, 2 RCA and 2 XLR, all simultaneously active. | |
| BNC out to an RCA in I agree. OTOH, one can buy the same BNC-RCA adapters and put them on your current cables. |
