Speakers for Adcom GFA 575se $2k-$3k
realized i left out one important detail in my quest while checking out some of the great suggestions here (thanks to all).would much prefer speakers that can be bi-wired. love my accoustic zen santori's but they are shotguns....thus the bi-wired ... 
Speakers for Adcom GFA 575se $2k-$3k
thank you for the suggestion. agree regarding the power and not going crazy with it regardless of what speakers i end up getting. i've always found excess power can be dealt with much easier then not enough. would rather keep the amp working at 50... 
24/192 Big Improvement Over 24/96????
in my experience (4 years into hi-res), it can go either way. i've experimented with over a dozen 96 vs 192 recordings and still wouldn't/can't say which resolution "sounds better". when one does sound better then the other, i wouldn't call it a "... 
PC recomendation for cd ripping
did a similarly big leap last year. from a 4 year old vista setup to a i7-3770 3.4 GHz with 16GB of premium RAM and a 2GB video card. MUCH nicer PC. noticed zero difference in SQ but ripping speed was waaaay faster (would guess 3x or more) 
Weiss is so underrated
Dweinstein: "I am simply making the point that the PS Audio is objectively like a Kia and Weiss is like a Lamborghini, although some people might got for EMM Labs (Ferrari) - an equally good choice determined by taste and system synergy"i'm simply... 
Weiss is so underrated
Neal: you're clearly a beginner who is working on a "budget system" =)seriously nice rig bro! 
Weiss is so underrated
Dweinstein: thanks for confirming "you'll never get it". if your last post reflects what you got out of my most recent reply....i now understand WHY "you'll never get it". did u even read my reply??....or any of the replies in this thread?? narrow... 
Weiss is so underrated
Krell vs Yamaha?..a rather extreme example but i'll bite with an equally extreme rebuttal.so if the Krell was hooked up to a pair of $20 speakers and the Yamaha was painstakingly matched up with some very high quality speakers......would it still ... 
Weiss is so underrated
Mcondon is SOOOO easily impressed. a mere $250,000???. that should be for cables alone!!!!! i'll need to see a 1 MILLION DOLLAR system before i'm impressed !! =)after all....it is all about the money spent isn't it???so....not only does D live in ... 
Weiss is so underrated
Dweinstein" u just don't get it do you??....and probably never will. feel free to state your *opinion* that the PWD2 is comparable to a pos digital source from the 90's. you can also keep pretending the WeissD2 is a universal giant killer. all i'm... 
Weiss is so underrated
Dweinstein: you ask for opinions then go all loud mouth know-it-all on people who chime in?. you should have asked "who believes the crap i'm spewing"....then maybe those of us who know better wouldn't have upset the echo-chamber you prefer to liv... 
Weiss is so underrated
i/we compared a friends Weiss DAC in my system and came away with the opposite opinions. my PWDII sounded MUCH better in every respect. so much so that he sold his Weiss (here on Agon) and picked up a PWDII.glad you're happy with the Weiss. i wasn't. 
Use of footers on maple platforms
i a-b'd Herbie's tender feet on my Blinn extra-wide rack and couldn't tell any difference. the Blinn has 2" maple slabs plus a suspension system. only tested/a-b'd my front end (PSA PWT/PWD). also had them under my pre and amp....but decided not t... 
Computer audio, I am not convinced yet ......
been doing "hi res" since late 2009. in one respect....it's just like any other format. when done wrong(recording and/or gear)....it sounds bad. however...i would challenge skeptics to give it a listen when it's done right. it can sound truly amaz... 
Computer audio, I am not convinced yet ......
Steve N: you are correct. the number of "samples" i've heard are limited to say the least. i'll also agree that a few PSA users are completely happy using USB. i'm not disputing USB can sound great. my problem is with all the flaming hoops one mus...
