| Shouldn't done that... The W4S DAC 2 is exceptional, and exceptionally versatile. Would be much more expensive if sold through dealers or if it were gussied up.Neal | |
| FM Radio is dead ....R.I.P I listen to FM in Metro NYC every day: WFUV(90.7)(folk rock, pop, listener supported); WNYC (105.9) (classical, listener supoorted) and 93.9 (WNYC - news, culture, classical and standards music, listener supported). So to me FM radio is very much ... | |
| Is good customer service about dead? I have received outstanding customer support from Wyetech, Wyred for Sound, Stealth Cables and Etymotic earphones. If you do your homework and buy top quality components from music-loving designers and manufacturers, you will receive great custome... | |
| Nordost Valhalla Power Cords They are exceptional. I have two. Among the best I have heard, and I have heard many. A bit more full-bodied than the IC's. More detail tghan LessLoss Sig, which I also like a lot.Neal | |
| CD Recommendation -- EMI Tchaikovsky Selections You would likely get more responses if you posted this in the Music Forum. Just a suggestion.Neal | |
| NY Technician to replace capacitors FYI, it was a bit of a drive, but Peter Ledermann at SoundSmith in Peekskill, NY did an excellent job, with only a week's turnaround, and at very reasonable cost. He is very knowledgeable (designs cartridges and speakers) and raised a good questio... | |
| Mystery 30 Minute Sound Degradation Thanks, Nickjn. I have been leaving the pre on all day fed by Verizon FIOS jazz station, to burn in caps. Also, I think the problem was the new HiFi Supreme Tuning Fuse I installed. It is directional and although I swore I inserted it correctly, i... | |
| Mystery 30 Minute Sound Degradation Almarg,Thanks for reply. The change to "normal" is abrupt. I know the capacitors were of the right values as I checked them before installation. Sgr,It may be a warmup issue peculiar to these capacitors although I don't know why that might be. I s... | |
| The best digital IC, period. Stealth Sextet, especially AES/EBU. I have tried many: AZ, Kimber, Nordost Valhalla, Kharma Grand ref, Chris Sommogio's Black Cat predecessor, etc. Valhalla and Kharma's were close, but nothing as good all around as the Sextet. Just one man's opin... | |
| 6sn7 and 12sn7 octal preamp for under $5k Look for a Wyetech Opal (almost never come up) or Jade. I have been an audiophile for 40 years and have heard many pre's, but there are extraordinary.Neal | |
| ConradJohnson--Can their vintage compete with new? I have a CJ PF-R SS preamp made in the mid to late '90's, formerly Stereophile Class A. It cost $2500 when new. I use it in my BR system but recently swapped into Main Rig when the caps in my Wyetech Opal was being upgraded to Teflon caps. The CF-... | |
| IC Failure Thanks, all. I try to be gentle with IC's but my bet is there is a short. I do have have a multimeter. What am I looking for? Thx.Neal | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment Pettyofficer,As you may know from previous posts, for the most part I share your disdain for computer audio. But the compromise I found was the Bryston BDP-1. I had all this music on my computer already for my iPod, so it was a simple matter of ba... | |
| iPod to iTunes Facten,Here is your answer. I can attest that it works. Good luck.support.apple.com/kb/HT1382Neal | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment Try a Bryston BDP-1. Simple and straightforward, and the sound is breathtaking. I abhor computer audio because of its unnecessary complexity and lack of reliability, but have found this to be the perfect solution.Neal |
