| Astin Trew I remember good reviews at the time, but do we ever see bad reviews anymore? My guess is that based on their current lack of presence on the marketplace is they may hanging by a shoe thread or be gone altogether. If you are buying previously own... | |
| Lieder anyone? I am more of a non vocal music Classical Music listener, but I am devoted to Schubert, Der Wintereisser, Schone Mullerin, Swansong, and individual songs such as The Tout and Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel, etc. I like Mahler’s cycles, and having ... | |
| Marantz SA-10 I’m not a fan of the Marantz house sound. I used to own the (unmodded) 8005, sold it because imho the treble was m.i.a. Fwiw when I heard the SA-10 at a dealer a few years ago it sounded like the 8005 with more expensive casework. I put my bias... | |

| How critical is streamer hardware to SQ when it feeds a good DAC? Troy is ok. He puts his personal interest out there in each post. DACs are 80% of the sound. Streamers the other 20%. So streamers matter but get the DAC part of the equation right first. I really enjoy my CA CXN 60, which into the same DA... | |
| Oh Ye of Little Format Dare I suggest that the type of music used might have had something to do with the outcome? SACD has been kept alive mainly by Classical Music lovers, none of which was used here. I will probably be criticized as Elitist but CM makes more demand... | |
| How does solo piano help you evaluate audio gear? I got rid rid of a Rega turntable when I was playing an album of Beethoven Piano Sonatas by Wilhelm Kempff and the triplets in the opening movement of the Moonlight Sonata were being bent so much that they sounded like a Mellotron | |
| Digital Audio Output Differences? Is USB Audio Really The Top-notch? My first few DACs clearly had a worse implementation of USB than the other inputs. It wasn’t until my current DAC, which I’ve had for about 4 years now, that I felt all inputs, including usb, were equivalent. The OP seems to assume that usb i... | |
