| Herron VTSP-3A Since this thread was brought back, I was wondering if Mitch got to try the Herron vs the Lamm. Mitch? | |
| Practical Power Approaches Isolation transformers and balanced AC are intiguing, but how can I tell if this approach is the right one to treat the power I get at home? I've been considering alternatives to power "management" (conditioning, regeneration, etc) but always get ... | |
| Wyred DACS Juanito,"just another very good DAC for his price, as the weiss dac 2" sounds like if the wyred was a commodity product...which I don't think is what people are conveying here. The Weiss DAC2 ($3k), Bel Canto DAC3 ($2.5k), Bryston DBA1 ($2.3k) and... | |
| Importance of source quality with asynch USB DAC? Larry,You have a nice system! And a dedicated room!! Congrats.How does the netbook + QB-9 sound compared to your Esoteric DV50?Where do you store your music? Anything to look for in the laptop/netbook/pc that could/would impact sound quality if us... | |
| Lamm LL2.1 I haven't, but recently purchased a used LL2 and in the process of researching it I exchanged with several LL2 owners who mentioned looking into the LL2.1 and concluding the differences were not in sound. I recall a gain switch for reducing the ov... | |
| PREAMP suggestions I've been looking around preamps for a while too, and decided on a Lamm LL2. It's a great minimalist design, but RCA only. First Sound was also on my short list and is also RCA only; Mr Go is great to deal with and can provide a very credible expl... | |
| How to diagnose the need for room treatment? Sandhya,Thanks for the compliments. It's a big deal in this part of the World!To me it has been worthwhile learning about this. The two books I have are Alton Everest's master Handbook of Acoustics and Floyd Toole's Sound Reproduction. Both very g... | |
| How to diagnose the need for room treatment? Sandhya,Thanks for bringing up this thread of mine again. A year and a half has gone by and I've done a fair amount of further reading and experimentation and things have improved, and I'm still working on improving things further. This might be t... | |
| Recommend a DAC perfect timing for me too! I also have an RCD1072 and I'm looking into DACs. See my thread over at Tech Talk, where several people recommended DACs. I´m mostly thinking Bel Canto DAC3, Bryston BDA-1, Lavry DA10 or 11, Benchmark, Weiss DAC2. All of... | |
| Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs? Blindjim: Thanks for the thoughtful post. I'm adding the Lavry DA10 to the list. Looking at your system I see you also have a tubed pre and amp.After going through several threads I'm wondering about jitter immunity. For over a year until I can ge... | |
| Good amps for Thiel CS 3.7 speakers? Congrats on your purchase!! I like Thiels a lot, and although I have not heard the 3.7, they must be awesome.I came close to buying CS2.4 and was digging for info on amps too. Bryston is generally liked with Thiels. I demoed the 2.4 with an Ayre a... | |
| Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs? So I went back for some reading on the proposed units. A lot more reading still pending.I decided to ditch the Zardoz and Mojo units. They are probably very good, but there is so little talk about these that is leading me to pass, as I'm overseas ... | |
| Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs? OK Mintzar, looks like you want to be asked: what are your suggestions for doing better than those components, for the money? | |
| Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs? Great feedback!Actually, I'm surprised everybody went for the source as the first step. It's unusual to get an unanimous answer in this hobby. Maybe the question was too obvious, not to me anyway.Sorry about the typo: the Rotel is a CD player inde... | |
| Power cord for MHDT Havana Sandhya,It might be your room and setup. It sounds like you have no treatment whatsoever done, amd your room might have a lot of hard surfaces.I've been reading A LOT about acoustics and its's paying off nicely. Without changing my electronics or ... |
