DAC question
I have been listening to different cd players with and without a DAC being involved for several years now. To me, all the differences I have heard are very slight. I am now buying components based on the color of lights they have. I can usually se... 
Great Progessive Scan and Great CD Playback?
I just got a Denon 2800 and so far I'm very pleased with both dvd and cd playback. Dealtime.com has some reviews of it (and others)and I think one of the reviewers felt the cd playback was superior to him more expensive cd only player. I'm not tha... 
Amp cutting out/shutting off at same place on CD
Thanks for the input. I agree with all of you. I'm not overly concerned about this particular track as it is actually a recording of the space shuttle lifting off and is not too entertaining after you've heard it once. The jacket of the cd actuall... 
A quick question?
It is for me. I was told that if you can't hear it from your usual listening distance it is not a problem. 
What do you know about Sim Audio amps?
I've had a W-5 and P-3 for almost two years now and although I've upgraded cables and recently bought new speakers I feel no need to upgrade the Sim stuff. It has been a pleasure to listen to and has(almost)cured my once constant need to change eq... 
fiber optic digital output.
Yes you can use the toslink to connect to a DAC. You will be sending a digital signal to the DAC. It will then convert it to analog.Rob 
Why does my MSB DAC III click?
I had the same problem with the Link DAC III when I installed the upsampling chip. I sent it back to the manufacturer and they fixed it. That was over a year ago and it has been fine since. Rob. 
Sim W5 vs. Aragon 8008BB
I can't comment on the Aragon amp becuase I never had one. In regard to the Sim Audio W-5 I have to tell you that I have had one for a litle over a year now and I have been very happy with it. Since I got it, I quit trying to upgrade my system. I ... 
Sim W-3, W5 vs Classe 201
I've been on this site for years now and seldom if ever get involved in these discussions. I only offered my opinion because Sim Audio equipment is too often knocked based on its (perceived)resale value. Comparing the cost of a used piece of equip... 
Sim W-3, W5 vs Classe 201
Lev335..The Sim Audio W-5 is rated class A and if it upsets you that I prefer it over your brand then I guess you just better grow up and get over it. Its too bad people like you are so insecure that they use forums like this to get others to agre... 
Sim W-3, W5 vs Classe 201
You can not go wrong with the Sim Audio W-5. I bought one about a year ago and totally quit trying to upgrade my system. Since I got it, all I do is listen and enjoy. The resale value is in line with other manufacturers. Most of the used units you... 
Best Silver ICs under 300?
Goertz Micro Purl Silver. Several people I know (including me)love them. Mine are about one year old and since I got them I quit trying to upgrade my interconnects. The Needle Doctor had great prices on them when I bought mine. Perhaps he still does. 
Solid state power amps.; on or off?
I have a Sim Audio W5/P3. It is about one year old and has never been off except during bad electrical storms. I have not read the manuel lately but I'm pretty sure the manufacturer even reccommends leaving it on. You could check with your manufac... 
Ethics of last minute auction "poaching"
Sory about my speling. 
Ethics of last minute auction "poaching"
Its the people who bid too early that inflate the price unessarily. Look at the bid histories on just about any auction that is started at a low number. Usually there will be numerous bids at clearly cannot win. If no one bid till the last minute,...
