Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat
Vhiner,Thank you for the additional info. I might just do that as well. One of my LEDs has gotten a little dim on the unit also. I have a Bitstream as well that he modified and it is serving very well in my 2nd system. Great DACs! 
Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat
Hmmm, I have had my units for a little over a year back from John. Do you know when he started doing his latest miracle mods?Thanks,Michael 
LSA speakers?
I have a pair of LSA-1 standards that I enjoy tremendously. I will be upgrading to the statements soon. This speaker is a tremendous performer at the price point. I am driving it with a Mcintosh MC-7270 and it sings! 
Best amp for LSA LS1 Monitors in large room?
I am running my LSA1 standards with a Mcintosh MC7270 amp and a Mcintosh C712 preamp. I love the sound and it can get very loud if needed. I am looking to upgrade them to the statements.Michael 
Bidat vs. Perfecwave MSB Playback Design
I also have a recently John Wright modified Bidat and Bitstream. I really enjoy them very much as they do seem to just make the music come alive!I have not compared them to other DACs recently, but felt that I should chime in even if it is a littl... 
Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat
I have both a recently John Wright upgraded Bidat and Bitstream DAC and I enjoy very much. The Bidat is in my higher end living room system while my Bitstream is in my bedroom system. They are both very musical and resolving. I have had them on fo... 
Connecting Bidat Wired Remote
I would use the balanced or RCA connections, whatever works best for your amps.so the path would be: Source (CD player) connected to the Bidat via digital coax or toslink, then the Bidat is connected to the amp via RCA or XLR cables.......(I have ... 
Audio Art vs Signal Silver Resolution
I have the Signal Silver Resolution cables, but I am concerned that their resistance is so high. It is listed as 18.5 ohms per 1000 feet. That is about 18 times standard copper wire (and other brands) and six times their other speaker cables. 
Vienna Acoustics or Proac
I have heard great things about the Proac speakers, but I loved my Mahlers! I had the Beethovens, but ended upgrading to the Mahlers about a year ago. I am driving them with the Mcintosh MC-501 mono amps and it is amazing! I started out small with... 
AT&T U Verse any good?
I am a Sr. Director at AT&T and if anybody has an issue that has not been resolved I would be happy to help getting it resolved. 
Wadia 521 Converter
I am also very interested in this DAC and am cusious how it compares to the Mcintosh MDA-1000.Thanks,Michael 
Help -- EAD PM1000 and REL Strata III experience?
I had a hum challenge with my REL B-1 sub. I called sumiko and I ended up moving my REL cable away from my other power cords and I also connected the black wire (per sumiko's suggestion) to a screw on the chassis of my amp.No more hum at all...I l...

On The Feeding And Care Of Vienna Mahlers
Guidocorona,Hmmm, It is tough for me to describe. It has been a year and a half since I positioned them so it is tough to describe.Not to opt out or providing an opinion, but go ahead and try each way and see what you prefer.Michael 
On The Feeding And Care Of Vienna Mahlers
Guidocorona,I have my set up in a fairly large room and the woofers facing outside just sounded better. I also have a REL B1 sub integrated into my system as well. The MC-402 sounds fantastic, but upgrading to the Mcintosh mono-block 501 amps will...
