| Apple Macintosh Music System Nice thread. I use an old iMac as a server for my Transporter (wireless thru Airport Extreme), and sometimes a MacBook Pro toslinked to my dCS Elgar Plus. Thanks for the tips on glass interconnects. The main lesson I learned: never connect any com... | |
| Using External Word Clock with Transporter? Follow this link: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43605&highlight=word+clock+speedOr search the slimdevices forum on 'word clock speed' and you get lots of threads concerning problems fellow dCS users encounter using an external... | |
| Using External Word Clock with Transporter? Be careful using the Transporter with your dCS gear. In my system connecting the TP to my Purcell or Elgar Plus doesn't improve the sound, on the contrary. I could not believe my ears when I discovered there was no improvement comparing the TP dir... | |
| Will the Big Ben improve the 24 MXL? Elberoth & Kana813You are comparing apples with pears. Big Ben is a stand alone word clock, Digital Lens is a reclocking device. See http://www.apogeedigital.com/products/bigben.php with links to very positive reviews. As always: try out in yo... | |
| dcs Verona Interesting statements. Did (any of) you compare this stand alone master clock option with the word clock sync option (slaving the transport to the dac) or just with the traditional set up (no sync).I experienced a major improvement using that opt... | |
| dCS Delius / Purcell 176,4 -- i have to when i use the Delius in Master mode with my Studer transport. Using it slaved to my (heavily modded) Philips CDD882 transport i don't hear much difference between 196 an 176,4kS/s.Filter settings depend on cd quality, but mostl... | |
| Does anybody own or have heard the DCS Delius ? After a long and scrupulous search I have chosen the Delius/Purcell combo to partner my heavily moddified Philips CDD882 transport (with the famous cdm1 mkII drive mechanism). I compared this set for several weeks with ML 390S as a cdp and as a tr... | |

| CD lense cleaner. Is it necessary ? If it is used in a smoking environment I should certainly recommend it. Even if you don't know the history of the player I should do it anyhow. In case of strange behavior or problems it's one of the first things to do. I have used a cleaning disc... | |
| Aero Capitole as pre-amp for Spectral DMA-150? Thanks for your responses. Although I do not know any of you, it is still very interessting to learn from you, Vader007 ;-) And yes I do trust my dealer, that's why I did not try out the 390S (which I had on loan) directly into my Spectral. On the... | |
| The Audio Research Database Great! Congratulations. Looks good, with nice picures and a lot of information, yet to be completed, I guess. Thank you very much. | |
| Unwanted radio signal from turntable I can receive short wave radio stations with my Rega RB300, modified with the Incognito rewiring kit (Cardas). To turn them off: unplug the FM-antenna(s) from your tuner, twist the interconnects from the turntable to the phono amp and take care of... | |
| Best Audio-Manufacturing Countries? Rives, a minor correction: Philips is based in The Netherlands -- the same country where Van den Hul, Siltech, Kharma (to name only the well known) create their wonderful gear. Having said that, I certainly don't want to suggest that nationality i... | |
| Pass labs x250 vs Classe CA301 Two years ago I auditioned both, upgrading from a CA150. I agree with Pehare on the X250. The CA301 sounds warmer, a bit slower and laid back; a matter of taste I guess. I prefered the Pass, but ended up with Spectral DMA-150, because of severe hu... |
