Reference 3a MM De Capo's vs Totem Sttaf vs LSi9's
Hey Ecclectique, I live in the gta, Ajax to be precise. About a 30min drive east of TO. I've found a used pair of MM De Capo's in Montreal, he's asking $1800. I might take a poke, the first time I've done anything on a blind bet. I have to unload ... 
Reference 3a MM De Capo's vs Totem Sttaf vs LSi9's
Thanks guys. If I buy used I'll probably buy locally because I live in Canada.Bshapperd, the frontend I am currently using was on par or given a slight edge in its favor against a SimAudio Moon Nova, provided the Moray James cable was used. I very... 
DAC Recommendations
Museatex Bitstream or Bidat DAC's. I saw one on audiogon for as low as $350. The bidat's where once cheap when everybody was upgrading, suddenly everybody is trying in vain to get them back, one sold a while ago for $3k...send it to John Wright of... 
The most important sources need for a loudspeaker
cd player > pre amp > amp > cables 
Old Digital vs New digital.
I wasn't suggesting to change my Museatex, I'm quite happy with it, I wouldn't change it for anything now. The person I bought this thing off listened to it against a SimAudio Nova, he was leaning towards the Museatex. My point was, how can older ... 
Best Digital Cable, Regardless of Price....
I have to be honest, I haven't tried many. A van den hul, Harmonic Technology Cyberlink Platinum and a Moray James. I have no idea where those fall in line with the ones mentioned but to my ears the Moray James was in a league of its own. After li... 
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
To anybody that suggested Audibile differences can't be detected at the price points listed for digital frontends are wrong in my very humble opinion. John Wright of museatex heavily moddified my Melior DAC, and the differences were huge. The prob... 
Moray James Digital Coax
I compared it to a Van Den Hul (don't know the model) and a Harmonic Technology Cyberlink Platinum. It wasn't even close, I don't understand why or how it made that much of an impact but it did.The only word I can use to describe is "dynamics". I ... 
Moray James Digital Coax
thx Bwhite. I was just sent the cable and told to try it. Along with a Harmonic Technolgies digital cable. The differences are so striking. The HT cable sounds oh so very muted. There is no model number MJ cable. Frankly it looks like a piece of c... 
Top Ten Electronic/alternative Albums
The idea of the thread was to get some ideas on good alt-rock and Electronic music. I don't think every audiophile listens to jazz, blues and classical.It's very interesting seeing the early responses.Jane's Addiction "Nothing Shocking"Fatboy Slim... 
Crackling sound when using a DAC
Hey Sean, thx. Do you know of any used CDP's that I could buy and use as a dedicated Transport, which would have a digital signal sent out at all times? Ideally I'd like to sell my NAD 541i and use that money to buy an equally as good transport. P... 
Crackling sound when using a DAC
It was the NAD, I've since used another Transport and I didn't get the problem.I have no idea why this happens with the NAD. I can avoid the problem by switching it to optical and then back to coax once it's loaded.Im not sure I could buy a DAC th... 
Crackling sound when using a DAC
Hey Oxia, I have my amp's volume set to 0 and it still happens. What i meant by switchin to Optic was, I only change the setting, there isn't really a wire hooked up there, but when I change to optic setting, allow the disc to load, then press pla... 
Crackling sound when using a DAC
I always get a quick, loud and sharp crackle...its bad and very loud. I've tried everything, I have noticed that it only happens after closing the CD drawer and the cd begins to load, the speakers burst out in crackle. I have avoided this problem ...
