| J River Vs. Media Monkey Do they sound different Pettyofficer,I share your frustrations and skepticism. I simply choose to abode by Elvis Costello's famous oobservation:"Well I used to be disgusted,But now I try to be amused."Neal | |
| J River Vs. Media Monkey Do they sound different Koegz,To lower the temperature here, I respect those who can assemble and operate a high end computer audio system. All I am saying is that it is far from simple to assemble and operate a true high end computer audio system that is reliable (free ... | |
| Who is the World's Best 'New' Female Vocalist Adele. And I am serious. Her new album is mature and superb. Could be the next Streisand, and she is only 21!Neal | |
| does it logical to invest on expensive transport? Absolutely, if you are interested in the best sound and want to avoid wrestling with computer hardware and software which is not yet ready for prime time and may never be. Transport very complicated: put a shiny silver disc on, and press Play.Neal | |
| J River Vs. Media Monkey Do they sound different This is precisely why I have heretofore avoided computer audio (other than an iPod into a Wadia iTransport to DAC). There seems to be no end of headaches and nothing causes more teeth-gnashing for me than computer issues. And I have not had to dea... | |
| 1578 for 6SN7GT I have, in my Wyetech Opal. They work beautifully, a large improvement. Make sure they are genuine though. I bought mine from a gentleman named Paul Lindeman, who has been very reliable.Neal | |
| Similar sound to CEC maybe Vecteur or..? I have a RAM - modded CEC TL-1X that is in shop getting refurbished, due to age. Until it returns, I have been using a Toshiba 9200 CD/DVD/DVD-A player that is built like a tank and is about 85% the sound quality of the TL-1X as a transport. (It w... | |
| best transport? CEC TL series. Belt drive sounds like music. And the transports are beautiful and indestructible.Neal | |
| Mac sound quality Here's the solution: use Mac for what is intended to be used as -- a computer for data management, email and Internet access. Neither they not PC's are ready-for-prime-time as music sources. Eliminate the headaches with JRiver, MM, etc., midi sett... | |
| Upgrading Wadia 170i IDoc to new 171 IPod dock I was an early adapter of 170i. With a C7 adapter I use a high quality PC and also a top quality SPDIF digicable. Never had a second's trouble and the sound is virtually identical to spinning transport into DAC. If someone could explain that -- an... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 2006 BMW 330ix. Superb sound system. Although it has an iPod input in storage area under armrest, one must control iPod from the unit itself, not on steering wheel or dash. Later models added this. I bought a Nordost Heimdall cable to connect iPod... | |
| Need a transport recommendation CEC TL-1x. Beautiful sound, beautiful unit and they last forever. Can be repaired in US.Neal | |
| Tranquility Signature vs. Bryston BDA-1? Have you considered the W4S DAC2? I have no dog in this hunt nor have I heard the others, but I have lived with the W4S for 6 months now after selling my Dodson 218, and think it is a breakthrough product at a screamin' steal of a price.Neal | |
| DAC new or used under 2.5K advice Ditto on the W4S Dac2. 6 months owner; very pleased! Been using digital since Magnavox 650 back in 1986.Neal | |
| Is there a qulaity DAC that has USB and coaxial. Second the vote for W4S DAC2. This is the real deal and is a screaming bargain. Has every input you could want and they all work well, regardless of source. I have lived with this DAC for 5 months now and continue to be impressed. I can afford alm... |
