| PS Audio Direct Stream Ozzie: mines not supposed to come until early June. Sigh. Cal3713 and French_fried : that is my exact dilemma. There are some serious contenders in the outboard USB to SPDIF converter category. 2 of the top choices are the Berkeley Alpha USB and t... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I love true "accuracy". But I will give up "accuracy" to be engaged. If you want to call being emotionally involved and lost in the music - colored, then feel free to take my Audiophiles of America card away! There are many components that are acc... | |

| PS Audio Direct Stream not until June. I didn't get in early enough. But they didn't seam to have a problem charging my card now for a (maybe) June delivery....I have a friend whose opinions and preferences are pretty much identical to my own who is telling me to just b... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream Emm labs has been doing what the DS claims since the beginning. Meitner and Emm utilize immediate DSD conversion and up sampling to process PCM and then convert to analog. Obviously Mr. Meitner is doing something right.In DSD there are no filters ... | |
| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers I'm very happy with my system right now. I'm focusing on my DAC/Pre-amp combo. Deciding if I should run DAC straight into amps or keep the Rowland Pre-amp which I have fallen in love with. I just traded in my PerfectWave 2 for the new PS Audio Hot... | |
| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers Thank you for the great review PTHEO!My amps are now playing at around 1300 hours and have proven to me that I can settle in and enjoy the fact that I no longer need to think, ever again, about replacing my amps for better performance. The combo o... | |
| bat vk 60 speaker reccomendations One of the absolute best systems I ever had was a Cary Audio SLP-98P pre-amp, BAT VK-60 and Usher AC-10 speakers. They are big and very heavy speakers, but offer huge performance for their cost, especially on the used market.I have moved on a 3 do... | |
| KEF LS50 Need Help FWIW - I love my Kef R500's!I have them set up as my office system with a Musical Fidelity M6i Integrated and M1 DAC. Awesome system for the money; and pretty much full range. Yes, a sub would go lower. But subs only work properly if they are meti... | |

| Upgrading Sonus Faber Cremona M - Elipsa SE Listened to Ellipsa-SE for 3 hours. Wonderful speaker. Was comparing Kef 207/2, Revel Salon 2, TAD Evo-1 and Vienna The Muzik. The Ellipsa-SE was wonderful and I truly enjoyed the time I spent with it. A speaker I could unquestionably live with an... | |
| W4S STI500 or MF A5.5 for Kef R500? I didn't. I found a really good deal on the M6i and went with it. | |
| W4S STI500 or MF A5.5 for Kef R500? I know the speakers. More power will help to improve dynamics, bass response and control. I decided on a Musical Fidelity M6i. They are ridiculously good speakers for their price. Truly a mega-bang for buck product. U should find a pair to hear th... | |
| Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers I'm 42 and have been an enthusiast since my first system when I was 14; Kef C-80's, Carver 900 Receiver and Carver CD player with Sonic Hologram technology. Years ago (about 10, pre-kids) I had a killer top tier system. Talon Firebirds, Tenor Audi... | |
