USB - SPDIF on Eastern Electric DAC
-------------Coax 
REL subwoofer selection T5 T3 or R series
Or would you suggest another sub. Looking for something sealed, compact, and under 5-6 hundred. 
USB - SPDIF on Eastern Electric DAC
PROBLEM SOLVED!! I just purchased a musical fidelity V-link and it works perfectly. Definite improvement over the stock USB input and perhaps even more importantly it works with my EE dac and doesn't have drop outs. As others have mentioned above,... 
USB - SPDIF on Eastern Electric DAC
If it is true that the 9018 chip is particularly sensitive to jitter, that may be the issue since the halide bridge and stello U2 both have jitter around 300-400ps. Has anyone else tried the EE dac with the hiface or other converter. I believe the... 
Eastern Electric DAC USB input vs asynchronous
has anyone else tried the hiface, or any other asynchronous inputs?

Green Mountain Audio Europa Max Vs. Tyler Taylo Re
I have moved the speakers out from the wall (slightly, as I don't really have much space in my apt), and there was a slight increase in the width of the soundstage. However, they still sound a little muddy and obscured. I think I am going to at le... 
Green Mountain Audio Europa Max Vs. Tyler Taylo Re
I agree, if I can fix this problem with some tweaking, I would prefer that to shelling out some more cash, as I am a broke grad student. I think the settings on the sub are OK, however the speakers are rather close to the wall (they are both in co... 
Green Mountain Audio Europa Max Vs. Tyler Taylo Re
Thanks for the input. I may be exaggerating a little on the Tyler's qualities that I described. I'm not saying that they sound like a blanket is in front of them or anything. I'm just feeling the upgrade bug lately and I feel like the tylers may b... 
Green Mountain Audio Europa Max Vs. Tyler Taylo Re
hey, thanks for the response. I am looking in the 2-3k range. I am currently using my tyler ref. monitors with a velodyne SPL-800 subwoofer so bass is not really a concern in the monitors. I am using a jolida jd-100 cdp, and Onix sp3 integrated. T... 
Do power conditioners help with unwanted hum/noise
I had the same exact problem on my system. I was able to do it by simply puting a 2 prong to 3 prong adaptor onto all of my power cords. This eliminates the ground loop on your house's circuit and if that is the source of the hum (which it most li... 
Tube Preamp for an audio zone gaincard-like AMP1
Thanks for letting me know about the ultrapath available, but i'm not quit ready to buy yet. Still have to do a little research. And I will look into the first sound as well, i've never heard of it. 
Wilson Benesch ARC vs. other Scanspeak revelators
Rello, I have listened to the ARC (only breifly in at audiovision SF), although I have never heard them in my own system so I could do a direct compairison with my tyler taylo monitors. I'm having trouble deciding if it is worth the jump in price ... 
Wilson Benesch ARC vs. other Scanspeak revelators
jk4hifi@highstream.net, the reason that the Discoverys sound more than $2000 better than the ARCs is because they are around $5000 more than the ARCs. The arcs are only $3600, I think the discoverys are around $8500. 
Wilson Benesch ARC vs. other Scanspeak revelators
I heard somewhere that it was a modified revelator, maybe I was misinformed, I'm not that familiar with the speakers. They certainly could be at $2500 though, the tweeter itself is only around $200.
