| Why Rhodium? I picked up a Furutech FI-28M (R) which is rhodium over pure copper. It's very smooth with great dynamics and soundstaging. I also use Kaplan cables. Several with all copper ends, and one with rhodium over copper for my source. In my experience, t... | |
| Ultimate DIY speaker design? You might consider John Kreskovsky's NaO. I built the NaO IIt. A really great, DYNAMIC dipole! I had a fellow over that built the Orion. He told me they were very similar. A little easier build, IMHO.For less money, the NaO mini would be nice. | |
| Buffalo DAC? Expect to see some new DACs at RMAF 2009. | |
| Black Sand Cable Power Cords How Good? I really like Kaplan cables. The copper cord is pretty much a "universal" cord that can be used anywhere. Clean, clear, with great tone.Tweekgeek on this site sells them. Try before you buy. | |
| Oppo 83 transport and DAC I really like the CIA VDA-2. It's a great little DAC. It will also handle high bit rate PCM (up to 24 bit, 192 kHz). CIA offers a trial period (30 days,less 10%).FYI, there are a number of Blu-Ray music discs featuring hi-rez sound. Chris Botti is... | |
| Stereovox XV2 vs Zu Audio Ash MK II Let us know how it sounds. | |
| Stereovox XV2 vs Zu Audio Ash MK II At one time my entire system was cabled with Zu product. I used the Ash, Gedes and Libtecs. Now I use a different mix. My system is all SS, with the exception of a Modwright preamp. The Stereovox has been the most transparent digital cable that I ... | |
| Blu Ray Player The PQ on the JVC is excellent. What I really like about this player is disk compatibility and speed of operation. Many players have problems loading disks, and are very slow in operation. Not the JVC. I use my JVC to feed a CIA VDA2 DAC via coax.... | |
| Blu Ray Player The JVC XV-BP1 has a blue bar and blue back-lit buttons. A bit of "bling", but I can live with it for the performance of the unit. Page 36 of the owners manual (on-line) describes the audio outputs for each connection. To get the HD codecs I suspe... | |
| Blu Ray Player For under $250, I really like the new JVC XV-BP1. It doesn't do SACD or DVD-Audio, but it's very fast and plays everything I've thrown at it. It handles the codecs that you mention via HDMI to your receiver. AVS Forum is a good site to get info on... | |
| Stereovox XV2 vs Zu Audio Ash MK II I've had both in my system for extended periods. The Stereovox is more transparent. The Zu is warmer, with fuller bass, and a broader soundstage. I'm now trying an LAT DI-30 and prefer it to both the Zu and the Stereovox. |
