| Integrated McIntosh vs. separates I guess the natural fits within Mac would be MC275 and MC252. | |
| Ayre QB-9 USB DAC B_lee,Thanks for posting your experience. To help put it into perspective, would you tell us a bit more: which Wavelength DAC did you audition, how were you feeding the Bel Canto?While I have yet to jump on the asynch USB DAC bandwagon, I have bee... | |
| Creek evo cdp with burson opamp mod? been considering the burson opamp upgrade for my Rotel CD player, and also have a hard time finding user comments, so I'm interested too.Maybe I should just get a DAC and forgetaboutit! | |
| where do I connect the earth in my pre to? OK, thanks for the feedback.Al: that website is outdated. 3-prong installations are mandatory here. Also, it's not me using the term "earth"; it is printed on the back of the Lamm, which is a unit initially meant to be sold in the US.I guess I'll ... | |
| Oyaide SWO-GX, R1, or Shunyata SR-Z1? OK, so it is safe to assume the R1 is more neutral than the GX, ah?I'm looking at these because they are rated for 220V, which we have here. Porter isn't (I personally doubt they won't work with 220V, but they were unfriendly enough for me to look... | |
| where do I connect the earth in my pre to? sorry, maybe I wasn't clear enough. Our local code also makes a ground mandatory, and my home has a pretty good ground (had a new one installed before moving in). My comment about the ground pointed to why a ground and an earth connection? Lamm pr... | |
| Next upgrade: cables. But which ones first? Great feed back. Thanks to all!I'm leaning towards power cords to get started. For the time being it will be one power cord, actually. I can go for a $350 PC. So I could buy 2 Oyaide connectors and still have about $150 for 3 to 5 feet of conducto... | |
| Next upgrade: cables. But which ones first? Point taken: I'm not after trophy names - just better sound. So I'm not really thinking expensive...eg: 3 PCs for $1000.The Nordost guide was a good read. Seems PCs would be a good starting point.I guess the next question would be: buy a used PC f... | |
| Shindo preamp with Mcintosh MC252 Never heard the Shindo's, but I'm running a Lamm LL2 deluxe with my McIntosh MC275 and love it. It's priced used within your range. I think the Lamm beats the C220 in sound (I tried it with same amp and speakers), but the Mc interfase is a lot mor... | |
| McIntosh MA2275 I have no idea, but you might want to post this very specific question at the McIntosh forum over at http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=54Good luck! | |
| dedicated line: 10AWG stranded or 2 solid cores? Stenersr,So you liked Analysis Plus better than Romex? Is the former stranded? | |
| dedicated line: 10AWG stranded or 2 solid cores? Babybear,That is a GREAT system! Very nice job on the room and power supply.I can get something similar to the Greenfield flexible conduit around here. I guess I want to run 2 parallel conduits, one for each dedicated line. Does the conduit need t... | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player Neophyle,I hear you. I'm navigating those same waters and it's taking me time. Fortunately I'm patient!The Computer Audiophile website is good for this. They've put together a "Computer Audiophile CD Ripping Strategy and Methodology" (found at htt... | |
| dedicated line: 10AWG stranded or 2 solid cores? thanks Babybear.My twisted runs will be about 25 feet long, so well under the 50 feet you recommend. Good news!Tell me more about the flexible steel conduit: what's the purpose? Just conduit or RFI/EMI shielding as well? Do you have the counduit g... | |
| dedicated line: 10AWG stranded or 2 solid cores? OK. So sounds like making a twisted pair of solid core still beats stranded. Good news.Lak: the drill chuck idea is a good one. I had not thought about it. What spacing per twist should I be aiming for? 1 twist every 2 inches? Does it make a diffe... |
