| Any leads on a particular cable Thanks, Low - I'll be sure to do that - I thought I might have some luck going this route first. I really wish I could manage to get by with a 2 meter run, but based on my room and required positioning of some other things, I just can't get any go... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Marantz SA-14v2 (However, I normally stream PCM files to a PS Audio DL III cullen-mod) | |
| Apple TV - 44.1 kHz output I also use an apple TV to wirelessly receive AIFF & AAC files into my system. I use a reclocker device between the ATV and DAC (which is a Cullen modified PS Audio DL3) and the sound is ......OK. Definitely a step down from my vinyl. I can't f... | |
| Sound quality of shared iTunes library wireless I also use an apple TV (2nd Gen) to wirelessly deliver my music collection (iTunes-ripped AIFF files on a windows 7 computer) from one room to another. I purchased one of the Remedy Reclocker units from Wyred4Sound which now sits between the ATV a... | |
| Who uses home brew cables? I think you can get pretty good analog performance using your own work on cables, but the 75-ohm digital thing is a lot trickier. I didn't think cable quality matters that much, and for analog I still don't, but the improvement when I went to a hi... | |

| Vandersteen 2CE v NHT 2.5?? or ?? I've owned nht and vandersteen, although at different price points. Overall, the wattage efficiencies of the speakers are similar. In my experience, the vandersteens sound more open while the nhts gave a much tighter presentation. I didn't really ... | |
| Add a pair of 2wq's to my Vandersteen 3A Sigs? Yes. The only thing I might suggest is that with the capabilities of the 3A sigs, a single sub might be all that is needed to get your setup sounding right. You could always add the second one if needed. I've gotten really good performance for yea... | |
| More power for better sound at low volumes? Based on my reading, there's an additional factor that might be of importance. That would be the ratio of power supply wattage to output wattage. I'm not a designer, but one told me long ago one of their general rules is that for a 40+40 RMS outpu... | |
| Anybody heard Stereoknight magnetic preamp? I have the standard B&R Transformer based unit. It replaced PS Audio PCA-2 with external power supply. As is often the case with higher-fidelity product changes, You get a trade-off. In this case, more detail came through with the Stereo Knigh... | |
| hum, please, please help Great article, Marco, thanks.Mark | |
| hum, please, please help You might try the following (if you haven't already - you did mention cheater plugs). Create a makeshift star ground configuration by using cheaters on all your components except the preamp.Sounds like a probable ground loop problem to me, and a s... | |
| Technical Help with DIY Power cords, Please? Many thanks. | |
| Can a vintage piece over 40 years old be Highend My opinion is that the short answer is yes. I have listened to the Braun L-810 loudspeaker since the 70's and in many respects (IMHO) they compete well with good quality gear manufactured recently. The Braun L-810's were the prototype/model for th... | |
| Is SACD winning over DVD-A? Based on what I've seen in the market, SACD is beginning to significantly outpace DVD-Audio in popularity. To my ears, both formats are essentially equivalent in potential; A poorly engineered SACD recording will sound worse than a well engineered... |
