| Berkeley Alpha DAC vs Theta Gen VIII and stuff... I have not compared the Berkeley to the Theta, and I have not heard the Theta in a few years to be honest, but I did compare the Berkeley to the Bryston, and I bought the Bryston and sold the Berkeley.I thought the Bryston, while not a minutely de... | |
| What is a good upgrade to the Magnepan MGlc? Yes, the IIIa is an unbelievable deal if you can find them in good shape. I am not sure if Magnepan will still rebuild them, but if they do, you basically get a new speaker for about $400. I have the 3.6r's and I think the IIIa's are in the same l... | |

| Apple TV vs Wadia 170i? Shardone makes a great point about integration. I can't take anything that sounds bright with Maggies and a less than perfect room. I need things that add warmth, that's why I have a lot of Cary gear (SLP98, CAD 500 MB amps) and for some reason th... | |

| Apple TV music server question I've never had that problem, if it's still under warranty go get another one. | |
| Is difference between B&W 802D & 800D worth price? A buddy of mine has the Mac 501's with the 801's and they are absolutely SPECTACULAR!! I bought the Mac's for my Maggies and they were a terrible match. I switched with him, he had Bel Canto Ref 1000's at the time, and we were both very happy. The... | |
| processor that could serve as a good preamp just use the analog outputs from the disc players for decoding the new formats. Let the DAC in the disc player do it. The processors will still sound stellar. | |
| Apple TV vs Wadia 170i? I agree on the Benchmark, it was very bright. I tried it 2 different times just to make sure. I love my Bryston BDA-1 now, after trying many others. | |
| Suggestions 4 surround processor w/newest formats. any of the Anthems, it depends on how much you want to spend.the D2 is pretty incredible | |
