| Squeezebox touch sounds better than benchmark dac1 Just got my Touch two days ago and I was amazed at the improvement in sound over the Squeezebox 3. I'm going to run it tonight through my Wyred4Sound DAC and listen for any difference.While the sound is far superior to the SB3, I'm a bit disappoin... | |
| Should the best systems sound almost identical? No. No. No. | |
| A bit overwhelmed, need preamp advice You've got the right idea. I have B-Minors that I used to run with a VTL 2.5 and a Levinson 27. The combo of tube pre and solid state amp worked very nicely with the Snells. The Rogue is certainly a worthwhile choice. I'd pass on the Placette. | |
| Oversampling rate in J River Steve,"There are other ways to make your W4S sound a LOT better without upsampling."Pray, tell . . .Thanks,--Neil | |
| Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you? Definitely. Aesthetix & VTL have remotes. | |
| GIK, Rives, Real Traps I have purchased a half dozen Real Trap panels and found them to be very effective in my irregular room. I first noticed the Real Traps at the show in NY several years ago. I had realized certain rooms sounded distinctly better than others. Then I... | |

| Is the Transporter Vincent, all things being equal (whatever that is!), the Wired4Sound DAC has volume controls and can connect directly to your amp without a preamp . . . in fact, that is the way it supposedly sounds best. I have not tried it yet as I am in the pro... | |
| Is the Transporter As Ozzy says, is the Transporter any better than a Squeezebox Touch with, say, a Wyred4Sound DAC? Any thoughts on comparisions? I'm currently using the W4S with a SB3. | |
| The Physics of Electricity Uh . . . $980? | |

| New Giant Television I also wanted a front projector, but decided I had too much ambient light. I went for size, too, and got the Mitsu 73" DLP. It has a great picture and gives you the most bang for the buck in size. I bought it online from Homegoodz. No problem tran... | |
