| Speaker recommendation please, please, please This is interesting, since I've been considering some of the same speakers myself. There was a pair of Joseph Pulsars on eBay today that wound up selling for about $3500, which seemed like a good deal. However, I didn't bid on them since I'm audit... | |
| Acoustics and chair Or get a dentist chair that has one of those mini head-cradle things ; ) | |
| Acoustics and chair I am surprised by how many dealers have those tall-back Ikea chairs that go above ear level. They always ask me why I don't sit down, but the tall back completely changes the sound. How do they not know this? | |
| Does Anyone Have a Traveling System? That's pretty interesting. But I'm wondering: if you are watching TV by yourself and listening with headphones, why lug around a 46" flat screen TV? You could probably get the same effect watching movies on a good laptop 1 foot away from your eyes... | |
| Ipod 30-pin-to-USB cable I didn't think you could bypass the iPod's DAC with any available cable. I thought you needed the Wadia i70 or similar dock. As far as I know, there are only a few that do this - and they all cost more than $100 new. | |
| Streaming music comparisons and quality MOG is fantastic - I use it every day in the office. Linn has 3 streaming channels of their own music that sounds excellent (jazz, classical and eclectic), but you can't choose what you want to hear, and some of it is a bit weird and not that grea... | |
| I think I need an audio repeater - need simplicity Did you check the Logitech Harmony database? If they don't have it, they will supposedly add new components to their database by request. You should contact them. If that fails, most universal remotes can "learn" your IR codes from your proprietar... | |
| iPhone/iTunes best connection advice Something like one of these:http://www.wadia.com/products/transports/171i/ http://www.cambridgeaudio.com/summary.php?PID=605 http://www.uk.onkyo.com/en/products/nd-s1-34533.html | |
| Do I really need a Dac? I would say yes, but there's only 1 way to find out . . . | |
| Preamps built Into DACs Understanding lyrics is a particular type of human skill. Some people are just better at it than others. Seems like an extremely poor way of testing how resolving a system is. | |
| Best speakers for a Linn Majik Why not the newer Linn Majik speakers? Or is that too obvious? The Majik 140 and Majik Isobarik floor-standing speakers have both received excellent reviews, and Stereophile gushed over the Majik 109 monitors. | |
| PC audio with USB DAC You reference to needing to install drivers for the DAC suggests that you are using Windows, not a Mac. Let us know if that is not correct. You need a Windows person to tell you how to best adjust your sound settings, I think. You shouldnt' be hav... | |
| Preamps built Into DACs I note the following from the manual of my Wadia 121, which uses digital VC:"Best performance is obtained when operating the Wadia 121Decoding Computer Volume Control near the top of its range. If needed, the maximum output level of your Wadia 121... | |
| Wadia 121 Dedoding Computer? late response, but in case anyone cares, note that the LED lights can be dimmed and turned off via the remote. also, I haven't had the clicking problem noted above. | |
| Gallo Stradas vs. Merlin TSM-MXRs I already have a Bel Canto amp and Wadia DAC that I'm quite happy with, but thanks for the suggestion. |
