| Tube pre amp problem?? Help?? RW's response is not helpful. Many of us roll tubes with tube pre's and enjoy the variety without incident, and obtain the benefits of a tube pre over SS.Is there a US rep or dealer for Dared in US you can contact? Email dared in China? Don't give... | |
| Nordost Quattro Fil is still good I also use a pair of Valkyrja's in my BR system and they are everything Dne says they are. At current used prices they are a great bargain.Neal | |
| Nordost Quattro Fil is still good Valhallas are still around as a reference cable because they still ARE a reference cable. It was a breakthrough design that has stood the test of time. Breakthrough designs in cable are very few and far between. Same for amps, pre's, less so for D... | |
| What do audiophiles listen in their cars? BMW 330i Coupe. Superb audio system. Radio has HD capability. Use aux/USB input for iPod or iPhone. Sounds grand. Only problems are BMW has a custom cable with dual USB and aux inputs which must be used simultaneously, and I have not found an upgr... | |
| PS Audio PWD MKII HiFi Tuning fuse direction I use these fuses to excellent effect in my vintage Sansui tuners and directionality makes an obvious difference. Why would it make a difference on e.g., interconnects but not fuses?Neal | |
| Bryston Announces NEW BDP-2 / BDA-2 From what I have read on the BDP-1 AudioCircles site, there is no real improvement in peformance, just in handling capacity and some features, e.g., NAS connectivity. No one who has a BDP-1 needs to go out and upgrade, and I think the BDP-1 will r... | |
| New Music Recommendations 2012 Lisa Marie Presley's latest -- Storm and Grace -- produced by T-Bone Burnett, is breathtakingly good. Lucinda Williams-esque but deeper and more mysterious sounding.This is a landmark album, mark my words.Neal | |
| Conrad Johnson dedicated fansite I have had a PF-R almost from when it first came out and never had a day of trouble with it. I had to swap out my main rig Wyetech Opal for a week and subbed the PF-R and while it is no Opal, I was not unhappy and could have lived with it.Cannot c... | |
| PS Audio PWD MkII vs W4S DAC2 Thanks for your comments. I principally use a Bryston BDP-1 digital player to feed the W4S DAC2 with a Stealth Sexter AES/EBU digicable.. It is a great product. Occassionally use my modded CEC TL-1x with a Kharma RCA digicable. Best transport I ha... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2012 You are welcome, Toddnkaya.If you like female singers, you might try Jessie Baylin's latest disc. She is very good.Neal | |
| Digital Coax to XLR adapters? You shoul ask the folks at Music Direct, who I think sell the adaptors. or ask Cardas; they sell very good RCA/XLR adaptors. I don't see why the would not work. Just passing a signal, but what do I know. Just a dumb lawyer who thinks digital means... | |
| Is there a service to install CDs in a Server? Cdc2,I leave near Greenwich, CT. What is the name of the shop and where is it, please?Neal | |
| PS Audio PWD MkII vs W4S DAC2 6 months on with wider distribution of PWD MK II, any further comparos to share? I am very comfortable with W4S DAC2, especially since I connected it to Bryston BDP-1, but you know how it is . . . . As K D Laing sang, constant craving.Neal | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Von Schweikert VR5 HSE's. After more than 40 years of this hobby (or mania, as they case may be), these are the most "liveable" speakers I have encountered. They do nothing wrong; nothing is missing or deficient; they are always consistent; and th... | |
| VR-5 Anniversary VS Sasha I have very happily owned a pair of VR5 HSE's for some years now, and have heard the Wilson Sophias at audio shows. I cannot speak for the current VR 5's or 9's, but I found the Wilson's to be undesirable and could not understand what the all the ... |
