| Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions? Shardone, I actually bought one of these a few back due to some glowing reviews on here by many, including yourself.

| Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions? Lindisfarne, maybe you should check the Oxford Dictionary, it's usually more inclusive. | |
| Benchmark dac - why such diverging opinions? It doesn't sound good. Very bright, harsh, and strindgent. There are very few positive comments I have heard about the Benchmark from people who have owned it. Especially if they have auditioned other DAC's, then it really gets thrown out with the... | |
| Inexpensive Phono Cables Recommendations vpi's are great, and a a great value | |
| Sota Cosmos tonearm? Lighter, shorter, lo pressure pump, less noise. It's a better design, simpler with superior sound. I've craved one since I first heard one, I keep thinking I'm going to buy a Sota and add the Trans-fi arm. Email the guy who makes them, or give him... | |

| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP Oui, Mssr. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP Good call, as the W4S breaks in, you will get more bass. Not booming bass, but down to the 42 hrz range, that Magnepan advertises. I love the Bass on Maggies, especially the bigger models, it's very tight and fast.The amps I currently use with min... | |
| It was 44 years ago that... Bongo knows my take on the place of rap, hip-hop, or whatever they are currently calling lyric poetry set to someone else's music, but I whole-heartedly agree with Innervisions and What's Going On. Both are genre defining. Innervisions is just min... | |
| How to hook JL F112 sub to both preamp and pre/pro It will send signals at the same time, and I am 100% certain the manual is correct, and the tech, don't know the name, at JL Audio told me explictly that you CANNOT send both signals, you have to only have one going at a time, unlike Rel's or Def ... | |
| How to hook JL F112 sub to both preamp and pre/pro The below is from the JL Audio F112/3 manual. As you can see, they specify NOT connecting 2 sources to one sub, as the tech at JL Audio told me previously. I don't know who Barry is, but I would check for clarification.
