| Cary CAD 120s MkII vs. Music Reference RM200 MkII I had Roger upgrade my Music Ref with the KT 120 tubes. I set the Music Reference up with the Josephs and let it burn in for about 50 hrs (as per Roger). And I am tickled pink, to say the least! So far I have heard things that I never have from my... | |
| Configuring my system.. component opinions. What about the new Mac C 48 preamp? I just purchased mine from the Upgrade Company and am extremely happy with it. It might give you everything you need, especially the built-in DAC which I feel is better than the W4S DAC.You can also custom tailo... | |
| Ayre, wow I have the new Rogue Medusa hybrid amp with the Ayre K-5XE mp preamp. The Rogue really makes my SF Liutos sing! The sound is natural and more musical than the Ayre amp/pre combo I had before. Check out the reviews for the new Rogue - and you can t... | |
| Cary CAD 120s MkII vs. Music Reference RM200 MkII Thanks! Will keep you posted. | |
| Is Bryson BDA-1 still up to date. Pal,What did you decide on?Rich | |
| Cary CAD 120s MkII vs. Music Reference RM200 MkII I ordered the SLP 98 with all the upgrades with the MkII with the hexfreds and Jensen caps upgrades. I also have the McIntosh C48 preamp modified by the Upgrade Company to switch off.My room is only 10x10 with one side open to a stairwell, so I ha... | |
| Is Bryson BDA-1 still up to date. I believe that the Bryston is more dynamic with more room for the music. Bass is about the same, but the Bryston is closer to an analogue sound. The W4S works best with their IS2 digital input. | |
| Is Bryson BDA-1 still up to date. I have the Bryston BDA-1 and the W4S DAC2 and agree with Sboots in that if you aren't using the USB input then the Bryston is superior. I find it extremely musical and more analogue-like. And the AES/EBU connections are the way to go, regardless o... | |
| Any McIntosh C48 owners out there? Allen,Could you please update us about how the DAC has been performing since your last post? I am waiting for my C48 and have the W4S DAC2 and Bryston DAC and was hoping to sell one or both if the MAC's performance is identical.Thanks.Richard | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar? Mark, they just keep getting better w time. And they really perform w the bel cantos. Happy listening! | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... The Jura is a smooth, but peaty scotch. I prefer it with some ice.The Macallan 18 is the best IMHO.Happy Holidays! | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... OK, here's my current stock of scotch whiskey. Curious as to how you all would rate them!- Macallan 18, 12 and Whiskey Maker's Edition- Glenfiddich 15- Glenlivet 18- Glenmorangie Lasanta 12- Aberlour 15 &12- Balvenie 21- Glen Garioch 12- Jura ... | |
| DAC with a CD player Yes! I have my Cary 303/300 hooked up the a W4S DAC and love it! I use Wywire digital cables with them. I believe that a DAC/transport (or cd player as a transport)is a much better combo than a stand alone cd player. | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... After so many years as an Audiogoner, I finally found this forum. Now I know why I own 15 different types of scotch. It's because I own 15 different audio components. The two go hand-in-hand!Now for my two cents for favorite single malt. I have be... | |
| Rogue Hera II and Athena-info wanted I have the Athena which replaced the BAT 32SE, and I have to say that the Athena is an incredible preamp! I am so happy to have it in place of the BAT because the BAT was harsh whereas the Athena is so musical. I love it! |
