| Dorm room audio Buy used Pioneer PL12D on Ebay. Great vintage TT, well built. With new belt and cartridge (Audio Technica 95E) makes a great starter table for ~$150.The use of powered speakers for a dorm setting is a good idea. However, another approach might be ... | |
| amps,pre amps HELP There is more than one way to assemble a system. In your case you have gone from source to sink. No problem there. Now it seems you have a compatible match in a TT and amplification but have run out of budget (other post). As Paraneer states, matc... | |
| If you started from scratch - what would you do? Replace the integrated. Continue to explore DACs having proper inputs for your anticipated needs. I use a disk player and have a computer as a server. Run both through the same DAC. Amplification technology is very mature. An integrated amp can ho... | |

| RUNNING POWERED SPEAKERS FROM AN IMAC +1 Lak. The use of an outboard DAC would make for a significant sonic improvement over the headphone jack output. At $129 new the AQ is one of the least expensive. | |

They would not all sound the same.If you are looking for more specific input, please provide additional in... | |
| Has anyone in Mi.acheived holographic imaging? I think the fact that the room volume was so much greater than the volume required by the sound stage was the major contributor. I must say that I was impressed by the X12s. Now they often sell for ~$700. I think they do best with 100wpc SS amp. | |
| Best Dac under $600... New or used The USB module for the Bifrost can be added. However, if I were not in need of USB I wouldnt be concerned. I like the idea of using a USB/SPDIF converter. There are are many on the market and improving. I have the SCHiit SYS. It seems to work wel... | |
| Has anyone in Mi.acheived holographic imaging? One of the most holographic experiences I have had was in a dealership. The system was a Mac computer w/puremusic feeding a Simaudio integrated into a pair of Dynaudio X12s. Speakers were placed far from the back and side walls. One could literall... | |
| Passive radiator My only experience with a passive radiator was the original Vandersteen model 2 which I owned between 1986 to 1994. I never heard this design as a failure. | |
| Pangea Power Cables comments I use the SE versions on all my gear. Was skeptical about the value of the XLs. Thanks for your input, Lowrider. | |
| Phono Preamp? +1 Zd. What is to be gained depends on what one seeks to gain. |
