| Mozart's Requiem- Best recording on CD It is also important to remember that Mozart did not "write" much of the Requiem, just a few sections and sketches for the rest. Which version then becomes an important consideration. | |
| Mark Levinson 331 or McCormack .5 Rev. A Hi Jla - I am not familiar with the McCormack amplifiers, but I have been using two M-L 331s in bi-amp mode with Vandy 3A Sigs for a number of years. I think that this set-up works very well. Certainly, the Vandys liked to be bi-amped: base, resol... | |
| Tube advice Tou might want to also check with Kevin at www.upscaleaudio.com for availability. | |
| Best Way to Set up Vandersteens I am sorry, I forgot to mention that I have Vandersteen 3A Signatures. | |
| Best Way to Set up Vandersteens I agree with Garfish on the set up. Vandersteen gives excellent step by step directions in their manual. The most critical is the tilt, since the vertical window is very narrow. Also Vandersteens like to be relatively far from the back wall. They ... | |
| Bi-Amping power amps Instructiuons on how to do this are given in the back of manuals for Mark Levinson 300 series amplifiers. You can get these by going to the Madrigal website (www.madrigal.com). For bridging you will need to strap the grounds together and have a "Y... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge I have been trying out a Dodson DA217 MkIID upsampling DAC in my system and it sounds fantastic. It has MUCH better soundstaging, tonal balance (musicality), bass and treble extension, and resolution than my current Mark Levinson 36. The differenc... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge I too have been worrying about this problem. The problem is that one really has to listen to these DACs to compare them and it is not possible to find dealers that carry more than one line. It becomes especially difficult with the various upgrades... | |
| The Dodson Model 217 24bit/96kHz DAC I have never heard the unit, but technical specifications on their web site (www.dodsonaudio.com) claims that it does upsample. Several reviews seem good, although I really don't know how much weight to give those. | |
| Upsamplers and 24bit/96kHz DACs I'm sorry, but I should also have included something on the MSB Link. With the upgrades, etc., all three (that is Assemblage D2D-2 and DAC 2.6, Bel Canto DAC-1, and MSB LINK) are in the roughly $1000 price range. Is anyone familiar with comparison... | |
| Upsamplers and 24bit/96kHz DACs Carl, thank you for your recommendation of the Bel Canto, 1953, I enjoyed your entry under System Maatching on 24/96 upsampling (4/30). I am sorry that I missed it earlier. | |
| Bi-Amp Vandersteen 3A? I am currently bi-amping Vandersteen 3A Signatures with Mark Levinson 331 amplifiers and Yamamura 6000 speaker cables. Originally, I had been bi-wiring with two pairs of Kimber KC8 cables. The sound quality was improved, greater resolution, better... | |
| Best turntable at $3500 used. Just saw an Immedia RPM 1 tabel with a Graham 2 arm posted on this site. You could use the difference to buy a pretty good cartridge. | |
| BI-AMPING The merits of biamping really depends on the types of speakers you have. In my case, I have Vandersteen 3A Signatures and I am bi-amping with two Mark Levinson 331's (as recommended by Richard Vandersteen). I believe that the speakers sound much b... | |
| The Best Audio Dealer I think that the best shop that I have been to are Immedia Sound on 4th Street in Berkeley, California (of course famous for its turntables and arms and as importer of Audio Physic, Lyra, and representatives for Herron, etc.). I have also enjoyed ... |
