| Hovland HP-100 Users I had this pre for about 4 years. Purchased new. Never replaced tubes, or heard any need to. Loved the pre, ir performed flawlessly and was gorgeous looking, but moved up the food chain.Neal | |
| Wyred DACS I don't doubt anything you say, Bhobba. But it is not clear to me (no pun intended) whether you heard the sibilance and glare when using the DAC2 both as a DAC and a pre, or even when using as a DAC alone. If the latter, it may be that the DAC2 is... | |
| Wyred DACS Bhobba,I run the W4S DAC2 with Stealth Indra IC's through a Wyetech Opal pre,to a Krell 300cx with JPS Aluminata IC's, and on to Von Schweikert VR5HSE's using Nordost Valhalla spkr cables. So I do not think it is lack of system resolution that acc... | |
| Wyred DACS I am at a loss to understand why Bhobba suffers from glare and sibilance from W4S. From my experience, I could not attribute that to the DAC itself but must conclude its source is upstream in Bhobba's system or in his cables. I have been using the... | |
| need suggestion about pre-amp, price around $5,000 Used Wyetech Opal, if you can find one. A pre like no other -- fast, giant soundstage, deep taut bass, you would hardly know it was tubes except for the magic. They come up rarely on Audiogon; when one does, grab it; it won't last.Neal | |
| ipod as source? Try Digital site for this query, which I do not understand. What are you trying to accomplish?Neal | |
| Dynaudio C1, why so expensive? High labor and material costs in Denmark, shipping costs AND A WEAK DOLLAR all conspire to raise costs. You cannot underestimate currency effect as foreign mfr pays a certain amount for materials and components and if it sells speakers in US, has ... | |
| Digital IC- I use Stealth Sextet- anything better? I have tried many of the big names and have stayed with the Stealth Sextet for a few years now. Only one close was Nordost Valhalla digital. Did not think the AZ MC2 played nearly in the same league, WADR.Neal | |
| "NEWEST'" Favorite album Brian Wilson's Gershwin album. Gershwin never sounded so fresh and contemporary.Neal | |
| Dac recommendations for computer audio Wyred4Sound DAC2 is an excellent DAC, and has an asynchronous mode DAC input that accepts up to 24/192. This would be a terrific unit at 3x the price, even though I find it ugly.Neal | |
| Synergistic R Hologram D powercord As a matter of fact, I use Stealth Indras from DAC to pre and think they are terrific, and JPS Illuminata from pre to amp. After years of experimentation, I have found mixing and matching IC's and PC's to produce the best results IMS. The JPS are ... | |
| Synergistic R Hologram D powercord Audiofeil,I usually do not get personal on this site, but I find your comments offensive and inappropriate. Glory did not say the SR were the best; he merely suggested that a full loom of SR might be superior, a legitimate suggestion. I do not thi... | |
| New Apple iTunes 10 Features Proving the rule that every new version of software has at least one annoying feature that makes it inferior to predecessor, songs from an album now seem to be split up. I ripped the South Pacific soundtrack and the album is now split into 3 diffe... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Have you tried any resonance or vibration controls underneath CDP? I use Aurios MIB's under my transport and they do wonderful things. Just a thought well short of a mod.I had this player for a few months and last thing I heard was glare; couldn't... | |
| CIAUDIO VDC-9.0 Powering Wadia 170I Transport Thanks, RPG. Yes, using the analog outs would defeat entire purpose. I use digital out to DAC using a Kharma digicable, and with an adaptor use a high quality power cord (Nordost Braahma) rather than what comes with the unit. Sounds pretty darn cl... |
