| DAC - DCS Bartok or the new Berkeley Alpha DAC 3 A few contributors above have suggested get a good streamer/front end before the DAC. This is the best advice. The enemy of every DAC is jitter and even if a DAC has zero jitter it can't compensate for the jitter coming in. So spend on your front ... | |
| I2s DSD @aswill thank you for a great reply, looks like we're on the same mission. Seems that you confirmed my suspicions that the PS Audio SACD transport will not "handshake" with other DACs, and other high end DACs are not allowing it. Which really is a... | |
| TV between speakers: Curved Screen TV, help? Hurt? I don't see how a curved screen would offer ant acoustic advantage over a flat screen. To me they are like looking at a goldfish bowl. If you want improved acoustics do some research on acoustic panels but they aren't going to look good in your li... | |
| Tweeter Problem Thanks guys great advice. I'll swap the speakers around first to check the amp and then check for a fuse and a signal from the crossover.Too much Black Sabbath!On a side note if the cross over is down can I buy upgraded or improved crossovers? Any... | |
| Smooth sounding copper IC like Kubala Sosna Cardas cables in my experience are very system sensitive. Even their less expensive cables like Quadlink can sound great in the right system. Give them a try they are great value and can perform very well if they match your system. | |
| Best Interconnects Bernie, Have you had a chance audition the KS Elation yet? However your recomendation to try a used Indra first is a good one especially considering the price. My setup is all solid state pre & power amps. Do you know if these cables have a bi... | |
| Best Interconnects Marco, Yes I agree this is the dilemma, too much choice! And very good choices at that. Thank you for sharing your experience with the KS Elation balanced interconnect everyone confirms it is one of the very best cables, but can you remember any s... | |
| Any one here heard the Bmi Oceanic Statement? Hi Bernie, Thanks, your comments are highly appreciated by the way those Kronzilla Monoblocks you have are certainly impressive. They really look the biz.Cheers,David | |
| Any one here heard the Bmi Oceanic Statement? Elrod have also just brought out the Diamond Statement at $14,500 I believe. I expect both the BMI and Elrod will give a superb elevated performance but a pair costs about the same as a Wadia 9 Series Decoding Computer (DAC). There is no way a pai... | |
| Any one here heard the Bmi Oceanic Statement? $14500.00 is pushing the boundarires of price performance. I hope you got a discount. I thought I pushed the boat out with my Tara Labs Cobalts! | |
| Best Interconnects Essentialaudio, Thanks for your input, I had never heard of these cables but they definitely sound interesting. I read on their website that they wanted to create a cable that would outperform Tara Labs Zero, and they did. That's a fine recommenda... | |
| Best Interconnects Hi Chuck, I know Wadia recommends running straight into your power amp and I can appreciate the logic behind this ie most people aren't going to be too happy to spend as much again on their preamp as they spent on their Wadia and it does soften th... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green There was and is no better blues/rock guitarist than Mick Taylor. Just remember that he played his first live concert with the Stones at Hyde Park in London when he was only 17!! This was a hard act for even Robert Johnson to follow. The lead brea... |
