| Wyred DACS I will give my brief comments on DAC2 after only 20 hrs of listening, well short of the recommended 100-200 hrs burn-in. I will preface my comments by stating I approached this audition with healthy skepticism an inexpensive DAC like this, so load... | |
| Grado Earbuds Look at Etymotic 6i or whatever the current iteration is. Can get them throughj Amazon cheaper than on mfr site.. They are superb.Neal | |
| Tift Merrit on tour She was interviewed and performed live on WFUV in New York last night. delightful, thoughtful artist. They usually archive these under "Words and Music." WFUV.org. Great listener - sponsored station with a huge archive of their shows. They stream ... | |
| Wyred DACS I have not had time to listen to it long enough to form an intelligent opinion. Designer says 100-200 hr burn-in. I have listened about 5 hrs. Will report at closer to 100 hrs. so it gets a fair shake.Neal | |
| Tift Merrit on tour Another Country is one of the great albums of the decade, lyrically, musically and vocally. The latest, See You on the Moon, is not quite its predecessor's equal, but outstanding in its own right. Tift Merrit has a unique, crystalline voice with e... | |
| Wyred DACS I am supposed to receive delivery of my DAC2 today and will audition it over the next few days and report on my findings. I have had a number of CDP's and DAC's over the years and so feel that I will be able to tell if this is a quantum leap, an i... | |
| Krell primer? I have been using a Krell FPB 300cx in my Main System since early 2003 and have never found a reason to "upgrade," if that is even the proper word. The amp has never even had a hiccup, much less given me a problem; sounds excellent on all types of... | |
| Television through tube preamp? I have been doing it forever. Verizon FIOS (and Direct TV when I had it) also have music channels like Sirius XM which don't sound great but certainly are tolerable, lots better than Internet radio(ugh!).Neal | |
| Top ten tube preamps Wyetech Opal. Timeless and legendary, with good reason. It's alive!Neal | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Krell 300cx. Have owned it for almost 8 years, sounds fab, never even a burp.Neal | |
| Nordost Tyr vs Valhalla I use Valhalla IC's, PC's and spkr cables throughout my system, but not exclusively because they can get to be too much of a god thing. But if you find the cost of Valhallas too dear, try looking for used Valkyrje's. For some reason, Nordost disco... | |
| Has anyone had eperience with the new sony xa5400e No, no digital input. What do you expect for $1500?Neal | |
| Wadia ITransport Now there is an honest company! Rather than trying to BS the customer or blaming the customer, they were straightforward. Very refreshing!Neal | |
| Has anyone had eperience with the new sony xa5400e I had it, liked it very much, thought it was an absolute steal for the $$. Sold it because it did not surpass my CEC TL1X/Dodson 218 combo, which costs considerably more. But if I were looking for a one-box for less than $5K, I certainly would ser... | |
| Oppo 83 SE wich would be best for my system vs 83 Is there any difference in DAC's used for SACD in 83 vs 83SE? If so, is there an audible difference in performance to justify the price differential? Will be using coax out for DVD's.Neal |
