Jitter reduction, best device? This may have been addressed in other threads, but how does one know for sure that jitter is the issue when not satisfied with the digital sound? | |
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? No. They are also out there in standard redbook format CD. | |
Outdated CD player I you want to experiment with something newer or different, do the DAC route as others have suggested. That is where most of the difference will come from. | |
Jitter reduction, best device? I agree you are probably better off trying a different DAC rather than trying to adjust what you have.How about a tube dac? I can vouch for the mhdt DACs based on my very positive experience with the Paradisea. These can cost under $500 used.Or th... | |
Musical Fidelity's USB Ready V DAC No bleached tonality with my A3CR amp either. It was Stereophile Class A recommended as well, I believe, for whatever it is worth.Greeni, can you be more specific which MF products exhibit this? | |
Mcintosh xrt20 or Gallo 3.1?? Wow, two radically different designs, apples and oranges to compare really.Never heard these particular Mcs, but the line arrays in the Mc's would lend themselves better to listening from more of a distance in a larger room I would expect.The Gall... | |
Internet radio stations that sound really good Audiocandy Red White and Blue Radio is a home run.Material on this station regularly sounds as good as some of my best CDs with my current rig. Outstanding range, dynamics, imaging detail, soundstage....wow! | |
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I can vouch for the Mercury Living Presence Recordings as well.They are most unique and special and I seek them out regularly.I have 5 or 6 titles all on CD so far. | |
What's your favorite lyric from a song? "How can all these people afford so many things?When I was young, we wore what we had on"Neil Young - Falling From Above | |
How can you not have multichannel system "What the hell are you talking about? Me (Tbg) and Tvad???"My thoughts exactly when I read this.LOL! | |
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? DOFP was conceived mainly to demonstrate sound quality of a new recording system at the time.I didn't realize how good the sound really was either until I played both CD and vinyl copies to review recently.Check my review here on Agon of DOFP and ... | |
the grills My cats used to use the exposed label edge of my stored records as a scratching post. The sleeves took a beating but the contents survived luckily. | |
Gallo Ref 3.1s: TWO per channel?? 2 pair sounds like a kludgy attempt at a more omnidirectional sound.I'd look at something comparable but inherently more omnidirectional in the $4000-$5000 price range first, like a larger pair of OHMs perhaps. | |
Best Turntable/arm/cartridge system for $30k Sounds like your mind is made up.In order to be sure of getting the best, maybe go used here on A'gon. If you find a supportive seller, you might be able to pick up a $60000 rig for only $30000. |
