| Art Dudley Listening - Stereophile Dec '09 Nordost I am a big Nordost fan. I think you should start with your IC and substitute used Valkyrie for the Quatro Fil. I have both and the Val is a large step up, not far off from Valhalla and available for reasonable cost on used market.It has been my ex... | |
| Keces 131.2 versus PS Audio Digital Link III Oops, it was the Keces and Music hall, not PS Audio. Sorry.neal | |
| Wadia 170i how to connect? A good digital cable will make a big difference with the 170i, as well a good power cord. For the latter, you will need an adaptor that you can get from Voodoo Cable that is well made and works well.Neal | |
| Keces 131.2 versus PS Audio Digital Link III Check out current 6moons.com. I think they compare these two DAC's.Neal | |
| Small speakers...big sound?? Spendor SA1. Little soeaker, grand sound for small room.Neal | |
| What is the best DAC ever made? Dodson 218, with latest software. Still up there, IMHO.Neal Glazer | |
| Lessloss on power conditioners/dedicated lines? I have the LessLoss (DFPC) plugged into an Audience ARp1 power conditioner and it has improved the overall sound of my BR system beyond what it sounded like without Audience, so I would not have reservations about using cord with a power condition... | |
| Suggestions for DAC isolation? DAC's should not hum or buzz. Either the mfr. is BS'ng you or it is a defective design/manufacture.Neal | |
| Is it best to isolate?? Aurios MIB's under CD player work very well to improve resolution and bass. I have used them for years under CEC TL-1x transport with excellent results compared to nothing and other isolation/anti-resonance devices.Neal | |
| Any opinion on Kharma Grand Reference Digital Cabl I have a GR, which was my main digicable until the Stealth Sextet. I still use the GR from iTransport to DAC. It is smooth, full - bodied, with a bit of warmth but still well-detailed. No real rolloff of highs, just a bit of a golden glow, but muc... | |
| AES/EBU cables for Emm Labs DCC2 SE Richard,There is a Kharma Enigma AES/EBU digicable listed for sale at around the same price a Sextet would go for. I have an old Kharma Grand Reference I use from my Wadia i70 iPod transport to Dodson DAC, and I previously used it from my CEC. The... | |
| AES/EBU cables for Emm Labs DCC2 SE having tried most of the big names in digicables, for the past 3 years I have been very happy with the Stealth Sextet AES/EBU running from my modded CEC TL-1X to Dodson 218 DAC. This is the most neutral, realistic sounding cable I have found and h... | |
| Is high end Power Conditioners worth the extra $$$ Audience AR6 markedly and audibly impoved the sound IMS. Cleaner, more presence, tighter bass, bigger soundstage.Neal | |
| I need SS muscle I own VR5 HSE's and for years have happily been using a Krell 300cx amp. Plenty of muscle, but sensitive (in the musical sense)too! Works very well with these speakers, to which I am deeply committed. You need to match speaker cables well -- nothi... | |
| Ideas for used SS amp Krell FPB 300cx. I use it with VS VR5 HSE's and they are a perfect match. Musical and with tight deep bass in spades.Neal |
