| Are all red book cd transports created equal? Honestly, If it sounds better to your ears, you don’t need anyone’s validation. Enjoy the much improved and modern world of high quality digital streaming and bit perfect cd rips. | |
| Aurender N100 software update, now Aurender Media Manager is incompatible! uber, Glad to hear you got your N100 working as it should. As @psnyder149 pointed out, you should get a internal drive and play your rips off internal drive. Keep the external drive as a backup. Five plus years with Aurender, I have nothing but hi... | |
| Just switched from McIntosh C2500/2600 to ARC Ref 6, initial thoughts @topfinadv,I have owned both C1100 and Ref6 in the past and frankly for $8K you can get a much better preamp. IMHO, both of these preamps are overrated (no offense). I suggest you start a new thread and ask for recommendation under $8K. | |
| The Eagles Greatest Hits - Question garebear, If you’re a Eagles fan, then this disc is a must own. I have yet to hear another Eagles disc that can equal its SQ. https://elusivedisc.com/the-eagles-hell-freezes-over-xrcd2/ | |

| New high end processor @pinto72,Another vote for Marantz 8805. The SQ on both 2 Ch. and HT is superlative. You can find some used bargains for under $3k. Check out listings on Audiogon. | |

| Are all red book cd transports created equal? “This will only be close to bit perfect if he uses a good CD transport, other wise there’ll be errors and jitter transferred to the HD. Then there’s write and read back errors from the HD, probably powered by an smp, so noise to add to that also. ... | |
| Are all red book cd transports created equal? @steve59,I understand you are not quite ready to give up on CD’s yet. I would use Pioneer player in the interim and invest in a high quality streamer with internal hard drive so you can enjoy bit perfect rips of your CD’s.There are plenty of softw... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? +1, tvad and almarg. @hilde45. Only you know what kind of sound you’re after. In reading your various threads, it seems you’re building your audio system from ground up for the long haul by considering amp, preamp, DAC and so on. My post about hig... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? @hilde45,I did not say, it will be impossible to drive 90db speakers with tube amplification. Have you tried comparing SS vs Tube amplification with you 90db speakers? Do you honestly think you can drive 90db speakers comfortably with a 8W SET amp... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? @hilde45,All good points, I would steer clear of linear sounding tubes in preamp or amps if you want to enjoy and experience rich harmonic ‘distortions’ associated with good tube gear....otherwise stick with SS gear. The pre/amp combination, Tube/... | |
| Best Musical Sub... Originally posted in 2014??? In my system, a pair of REL’s Carbon Limited connected via it’s high level input....there is no other brand I care to own when it comes 2-ch audio. Once they are optimized, they just disappear from the room. The high level input allows seamless in... | |
