| 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... | |
| Krell S-150M Mono Blocks I have a FPB 300cx and don't even think of changing. There is absolutely nothing about the amp that bothers me (other than its massive size and general ugliness), much I love about it and like a good friendship, after more than 8 years we still ge... | |
| Digitalmeisters - Thoughts on Olive..... I have been looking into an Olive for motnhs and cannot find anyone who has anything good to say about it long-term. Too bad because I hate computers, which I use all day at work.Neal | |
| RCA to XLR adapters? I runRCA IC's from a Wyetech Opal pre (RCA out) to Krell FPB 300cx (only XLR in) and use BAT adaptors (female on RCA side, male on XLR side). Sounds pretty darn good to me, and has for several years now. I had used Cardas adaptors, which also were... | |
| Blue Moon Award for Burson Audio's new DAC/Preamp Charles1 dad,Indeed. If you can understand, so much the better. here is another example of Srabanese. See if you can divine what he is talking about:"For that we need yet another example - auras. Rather than acrylics, auras act like water colors. ... |
