Music Server with no DAC?
Swamp - Bryston for 2k and other stuff for 300 compared to 2k total is as I said "300 or so more" - just to be clear on what I mean in the comparison, so its not 2k more, its 2.3k-ish total, that is all I mean.I agree that I have no proof that it ... 
Anyone listening to 24/196?
Just an interesting note a half year later, looks like 24/96 PCM is gathering steam as the next standard, although in the computer-digital world it will probably be a mix (i.e., 24/88.2 is currently also very common), but overall 24/96 FLAC set to... 
Music Server with no DAC?
That is cool. I'm sort of heading towards a MediaMonkey - Laptop - ExternalUSBDrive - Beresford DAC TC-2750 way of getting equal or more quality and functionality than the MW Transporter or Sonos for a total price of $500 (250 for DAC, between 30 ... 
Cable Confusion
Yeah - we really need a price point. Mapleshade has $7,000 speaker cables as well as the Clearview Golden Helix, about which I've heard good things and are reasonably priced.Personally I can't figure out this cable stuff at all, and I've gone 100%... 
Bi-amping mark-Daniel Maximus: Mind-blowing
I know this thread is old, but am wondering, for bi-amping do you use an active crossover ala Marchand/Bryston, or are these set up for using 2 pre-outputs from a single pre-amp to 2 amps and then directly connecting to the 2 input terminals? 
MG12 vs ML Source?
Vandy 1c looks cool, same WAF factor, even more than MG12 because of MG12 thinness. I'll mention it, but they definitely have a 'presence' in the room this person is not looking for. Thanks for the reference though! 
MG12 vs ML Source?
Yeah, right now he is choosing between Mark and Daniel Mini and MG12s. Quite the opposite options! WAF may rule out MG12s, M&D Mini's can be hidden quite well into a room. 
MG12 vs ML Source?
Ha ha ha ha... Now that I look carefully that is absolutely correct! What is up with that? I've never seen that before. That makes a lot more sense. Okay, then they are 'too much' for a friend's system I am designing, he has a 1k budget for the sp... 
subwoofers and panels don't mix
Ah, the term is "Group Delay". I am trying to find Group Delay numbers for some of the subs. It would be great if we could get:Electrostatic panel itself Group Delay at say 300 Hz as refernce.Group Delay from Sanders Systems integrated subGroup De... 
subwoofers and panels don't mix
Maybe its because my panels go so low by themselves, but I can't hear a thing that you guys are talking about!! I have the 3.6s. One thing I've learned since then is that my sub is *theoretically* not optimized for use with panels, the Hsu HO w/tu... 
Joule Electra LA-150 MK3 vs MK2?
It would also be interesting to see what our systems compare like in terms of amps. I am running the 3.6s with 60 watts. You are using something like 800 or 1600 depending on how we count monoblocks. The thing is, I have 60 (well, okay, 90 at 4 oh... 
Joule Electra LA-150 MK3 vs MK2?
Yes, particularly with MapleShade or other high-end recordings, I hear the same thing - that it sounds live. I even had someone say once that 'it sounded better than live' and at first I was offended in an odd way - it made me think that person di... 
Joule Electra LA-150 MK3 vs MK2?
I'll check out the reviews. I'll also see if I can audition them as well just out of curiosity - it will be many years before I can lay down that kind of money for audio equipment. But who knows... 
Joule Electra LA-150 MK3 vs MK2?
Hey guys - I want to ask a touchy question without starting a flame war. Just an honest question. I have a Supratek Chardonnay (well known here on Audiogon) that was only 2.3k. If I moved up to this pre for 14.8k can anyone who has heard both tell... 
Replaced La Scala with...?
Here is a 9 watt amp that is quite amazing:http://www.jolida.com/catalogue/models/jd300b.shtml
