| Bel Canto DAC3 vs ARC DAC 7 ? Anyone I have an Oppo BD83 connected via SPDIF, but I rarely use it. I almost exclusively use my AppleTV on digital, and to be honest, I probably listen about 90% to vinyl. But, I do really like the Bryston. | |
| Can AR REF3 be converted from 110v to 230v? yes, ARC will do it. Just contact your area dealer and they will send it to them, or arrange for it to be done in your area. | |
| Has anyone heard the VPI Classic yet I was in the VPI room, and you won't believe this, I never saw the Classic. I was looking at the Aries 3 and HRX. I don't remember the sound from the room at all.The Vandersteen rooms was ridiculous with the gear they had hooked up to the new 7's.... | |
| Bel Canto DAC3 vs ARC DAC 7 ? Anyone I used the Toslink from my AppleTV. RCA's to the preamp (my Cary SLP98P does not have XLR's). | |
| Your First Concert was..... REO Speedwagon (.38 Special opening) 1981 at the Chicago Amphitheater. They were terrible!!My next concert was Jan 1983, the Who at the Rosemont Horizon on their first "Farwell Tour", they were fantastic. | |
| Bel Canto DAC3 vs ARC DAC 7 ? Anyone Berkeley was great, very detailed, full sound, not bright at all, and the ARC sounded very much like the Berkeley. A buddy of mine took the Berkeley, and he couldn't be happier, and it does sound stellar in his set up. But with my gear the Bryston... | |
| Has anyone heard the VPI Classic yet I was not explicit enough. I think the volume of sales for The Classic, will greatly increase VPI's total revenue and more to the point, profit. I think this increase could and will dwarf the loss in sales of the higher end tables they sell. The p... | |
| CDs with heavy, fast bass and/or long drum solos Toni Braxton - Secrets, very, very bass heavy | |
| Has anyone heard the VPI Classic yet Without regard to price, it's the best table I have owned period. It's just so solid, no weaknesses. I would say that it is a statement table from VPI that will actually increase revenue substantially. Why buy any other table of theirs', or really... | |
| Bel Canto DAC3 vs ARC DAC 7 ? Anyone I have had both in my system, and many others.Bryston BDA-1 is the best I have tried, including; Berkeley Alpha Dac, Tube Audio Design Predac, Benchmark Dac1 usb, MHDT Labs Havana (this is very nice btw), PS Audio III, the Bel Canto and the ARC. I... | |
| I need help with my Equipment addiction Phaelon, you have never been to Houston have you? If you had you would know that sadly we laugh at the Vegas gentlemen's clubs. They seem trite, and downright amatuerish compared to ours'. As my wife always says, " I'm so proud Houston's not known... | |
| Is high end Power Conditioners worth the extra $$$ It really depends on the condition of the power grid in your area. If you have a fairly steady state of power, with ample wiring, transformers that don't get stressed and little weather related electrical incidents, it's sort of importan.If you li... | |
| VPI turntables come with phono cables? you can use regular (shielded) cables and a piece of old speaker wire or the like for the ground. I actually like the VPI cable very much after trying a bunch of others. It's shielded and has the ground wire in the outer casing too.Sounds V good t... |
