| Has CD playback evolved in the last 5 years? What about the use of multiple DAC chips in the CD units and improvements in the technology of onboard DACS in the last 10 years? | |
| Amp repair...What to expect. Thanks, Mofi. It's frustrating because it's not like burning in a new tube or a cable, which can be an adventure. In this case we know the sound of our system and now it's a waiting game to get back to that sound we know so well. | |
| Amp repair...What to expect. I love the sound of my sunfire 300 and I'm using both current and voltage outputs to the different drivers. The right channel blew out, so I sent it for repair and told them to also upgrade the electronics. Now, the amp sounds nothing like it did... | |
| Where to buy CD's "Expect cracked jewel cases as most sellers use the cheapest packaging possible. Boxes are rare." Because I order so many CDs, I bought high quality plastic cases on Amazon.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00065DG0A/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i02 | |
| Frequency Response I'll try and help. Manufacturers don't tell you all the specs such as +/- 3db linearity. You will find that type of data in a review of the speakers.A typical floorstander may have freq. response of 34hz-20khz, but sensitivity should be high, arou... | |
| Where to buy CD's Highly recommend Amazon. Use the private venders on Amazon for great deals on used CDs. I always buy "Like New" and have never had a problem disk. I agree that the vender must have a rating of 97 to 100% positive feedback. | |
| What to connect with my system? If you indicate your budget, I'm sure other members will have advice for u. | |
| Advice on Equipment Upgrade Why start experimenting with ICs when the pre and amp impedance are obviously not a match? Tls49 and others have directed you to the most likely problem. | |
| I can't handle digital after analog light my fire "The engineering and mastering of the particular recording is by far the most significant variable, IMO, followed by the quality of the particular playback equipment."Definitely true, Almarg. I just received my first Chesky CD and it sounds so nat... | |

| building the best system I can? "This day and age it is very difficult to audition speakers by different manufacturers because dealers just don't carry the inventory they did 20 years ago."That is so true, Wmbode. I want to upgrade my spkrs, but haven't yet until I find a store ... | |
| Advice on Equipment Upgrade Rogue and Conrad Johnson preamps have low output impedance that might match well with your 20kOhm amp input. (Rogue has 450 Ohm output). You should also check on the specs of a BAT preamp. | |
| Admiral Television? That's a good find, Loomisjohnson. I now agree that the "Admiral" is someone under contract by a different label. I really thought that it was Todd because he was so advanced with the technology and engineering, so why not use a pseudonym relating... | |
| Admiral Television? This is interesting. Maybe you can tweet Todd Rundgren? |
