| Help with buying used Sonus Faber Cremona m Boy, wasn't I looking at the same speakers, but I won't go for it, regardless of price. The shipping risk alone is immense and Sumiko is refusing even selling replacement parts for speakers not purchased from an authorized dealer.You asked for adv... | |
| Subwoofer for Beginner http://www.musicdirect.com/p-77339-rel-t-zero-subwoofer.aspxIt's REL, small footprint, free shipping.Will give you more than a taste of a musical sub I guess. | |
| Does anyone really need to spend 10k on power This is like saying that one needs a Rolex for time keeping.It's a lot of "because one can" in there, in my opinion. | |
| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? Certainly, either scotch or red wine, when available and in moderate amounts, otherwise the sound stage would lose focus ;-) | |
| wyred 4 sound DAC-2 DSD upgrade Thank you very much, Mksker. I didn't jump as soon as I saw the upgrade available, and now the upgrade is $500 plus shipping. I know that $500 isn't much in the "crazy world of audiophile prices" ;-) but I was thinking that I could direct that sum... | |
| subwoofer 60Hz buzz Thank you all for your posts.I'm certain there's not an interconnect issue, because the buzz is there even when there's no interconnect at all.It's also not the outlet, for everything else works OK in it and the subwoofer is buzzy in other outlets... | |
| Anyone with cyrogenic treatment experience? The wife treatment is a wonderful thought. No more shrieking or screaming sound can come . Everything smooth and relaxed:)I wonder, though, wouldn't such a treatment make her, well... cold? ;-) | |
| Best Way to Play Flac Files I am also using foobar and control it via monkeymote app from my iPhone. Very pleased with the results.This app also streams from the computer into the phone, for casual ear-bud listening, when I'm running on my treadmill in the basement.Thus if a... | |
| Which OPPO? Completely agree, 103 is just perfect for your needs. | |
| Entry-level speaker cables @Mtrot, JW Audio applies cryogenic treatment to them and that seems to make the difference. I heard the difference (if you search for JW Audio in forum chats you'll find that I'm not alone in my findings) and went for the change.To my ears, there'... | |
| Entry-level speaker cables JW Audio are shockingly good. And I'm not talking only "at their price point", but in general. Absolutely stunning value.There is a return policy as well, thus you don't stand to lose almost anything. Give them a try and you may find yourself not ... | |
| Quality of laptop for use with Dac. I wonder whether something like http://industrialcomponent.com/opticis/opm210003.html would be good to yield galvanic separation between an async USB DAC and the computer.Did anyone try something like this? | |
| Converting Flac to Wav & Upconversion Hi Dob, all I wanted to say is that Sgr's system is far superior to mine (mere mortal) and yet he stated that the differences between FLAC and WAV he heard were relatively subtle.I simply inferred that a lesser system, like mine would probably not... | |
| Converting Flac to Wav & Upconversion In my system, comparing the same WAV to Flac files, I don't hear differences in imaging, but there is just a little more snap and live sound with WAV and maybe a little more blackness. However if one is not comparing them purposely, they are so cl... | |
| Benchmark DAC2 or Bel Canto DAC3.5VB or OPPO 105 I know that your initial list didn't mention it, but W4S DAC-2 is a very good DAC, has excellent volume control and HT bypass. In my experience, it left the Benchmark in the dust and scored way better than Oppo 105 at a shootout in my house. |
