| 25 foot bi-wire speaker cables that won't bust the bank? I am against Kimber 8tc since they have a very high capacity that is not suitable for some amplifiers + it's an addition of extra capacity into the speaker circuit that will certainly change the freequency curve. I would suggest to go for monobloc... | |
| why is belt drive better than direct drive? The direct drive turntables do not have a belt wearing and pick up faster.Sonically there are disadvantages only. | |
| Tube or SS DAC/Player with Tube Preamp? Since technically SS output is matched with any input impedance I would go for SS. It is not guaranteed that it'll sound better than tube since we all have different ears. On my opinion most of the tube designs have colouration of sound rather tha... | |
| Why a transport over a CD player? In your situation I would prefere to get a good quality dedicated CD transport. Having a good quality DAC means that you will hear all digital "dirt" that is comming out of the bad CD-transport/player. The integrated designs just seem not to have ... | |
| Seek Integrated for 1000 dollars, new / used, suggestions? I agree with Gunbei and DR_joe on the choice of amps.I am from New York too and I wouldn't go to Sound By Singer because they have all products highly overpriced. | |
| The Return of the LASER Turntable? ...heh sometimes some pearls like that surfing through electronic audiomarkets and most of us can only take a look at that if there is a picture present. This turntable would cost used as my whole system new $$$$$$$$. | |
| Burned CDs can sound better than the original? Hell Yes!I've made a few copies from vinyls using ADC of Led Zeppelin -- Houses of the Holy, Pat Metheny -- Offramp and compared them to an originals... | |
| Suggestions For A DAC From my experience it's no worth to by modern tech upsampling DACs which most of the dealers are going to convince you. The ideal DAC has no upsampling! Upsampling sonically can enhance or deplete the sound but will never produce a linear real rep... | |
| What does "jitter" sound like???? On my EAD DSP-7000 MKII there is an error indicator that shows a "jitter" or error reading a digital data. You can hear the jitter from the good quality DAC coupled with bad quality CD-player or Transport. Usually when it there is an error occured... | |

| What multi channel amp sounds like a Class A two channel? ...theoretically speaking -- none of them sounds like class A. There is a large heat interferance between the active stages of multichanell amplifier that will cause the offset point of the active elements displacesd. The best thing is to use 5 cl... | |
| Please help me choose CD isolation Try as bunch tweakings as you know one after another for a certain period of time of experimenting to find out what's the best for the rack/room and platforms. Try to surf over DIY examples first. Different setups/racks/rooms require different exp... | |
| Which Transport? Theta Jade, Proceed CDD, Sonic F. SFT-1 Transport in sound plays the role of the turntable in the vinyl setup (maybe turntable + cartridge or so)I vote for Theta, against Proceed, and newtral to Sonic | |
| Speakers for small room,near field Direct reflect speakers are always better for the small room than dipole Try Spendor FL6, Totem Forest or JM Lab Elecra 901or if you need monitors than try Viena Accoustics Haydn or Totem Tabu. | |
| Biwiring ...I appologize for incomplete previous explanation and in addition, for more understanding I want to say that speaker wire means a lot as well as amplifier not in terms of bucks or quality but... 1 Capacity of speaker wire as well as length -- t... |
