| after Valhalla, i changed to Nothing. Still think they are magic, after trying multiple other contenders. Only cable close is Stealth Indra. Have one pair in my system, rest are Valhalla, including biwired speaker cables and PC's. | |
| SS balanced preamplifier for Krell FPB 400cx Get a Wyetech Opal pre or one notch down in line (Jade?) and you will not have to give up tubes -- and will have speed and resoultion in spades, plus tube magic. And the pre will outlast you!Neal | |
| iTunes Apple Lossless Setting Mystery Thanks to all. Mystery solved. Saves me a lot of time. And Audioesq, I discovered a similar trick. I right-click on the song in the Library and the info comes up.Cheers. Neal | |
| The Latest and Greatest in Digital Coax Cables I have tried almost all of them and found the Stealth Sextet to work best on my CEC TL1x to Dodson 218 DAC, but it is relatively expensive.. An excellent budget cable is the Stereovox.I also have the iTransport and found an upgraded PC with an ada... | |
| krell FPB300 or jeff rowland model 7 I have had the Krell 300cx for 6 years and am delighted with it. Not your grandfather's Krell -- as "musical" as any amp I have heard in 35 years of this mania, with all the slam you need. Cannot comment on Rowland 7 as have not heard it.Neal | |
| PC & IC: Stealth vs KS Emotion vs Elrod Is there any info available on new Elrod IC's/spkr cables/PC's? I am a big fan of his work. Thx.Neal | |
| Best Budget interconnect cables for cd to preamp The Speltz Anti-Cables are one of the biggest bargains in all of audio. I have or have tried almost all the big guys (Nordost, PAD, Cardas, etcd.) and this IC is competitive and is not shamed by any of them. Use these IC's in my BR system, and hap... | |
| First SACD to Listen To? I probably will go with Beck's Sea Change because I own the CD and know the sound very well. Will report back on findings. I almost hope I am not impressed because the last thing I need now is another audio obsession!Thanks to all.Neal | |
| Best way to Connect IPOD to Hi-Fi. Before I bought Wadia iTransport, I used Zu Cable Pivot directly from iPod to pre, and it sounded pretty darn good. Paid about $40 on eBay. Very well-made cable.Neal | |
| First SACD to Listen To? Thanks all. I do have both Dark Side of the Moon and Beck's Sea Change on CD and they might be the ones to try on SACD to hear a fair comparison. I recognize the Oppo may not be the best SACD player, but it will have to do for now.Neal | |
| best digital cable,sonic frontier STF-1 transport; Stealth Sextet. I have tried almost all the big names and this is the best-sounding, IMHO.Neal | |
| Received my Wadia i170 transport today. Other than the convenience and ease of use, excellent sound quality when played through a quality DAC, reasonable cost and avoidance of computers, which crash, become infected with viruses, worms, bots, etc., no, there is no advantage over a compu... | |
| IPOD Y Cable Before buying the Wadia iTransport, which run throgh my DAC makes a huge difference, I used a 1M Zu Cable Pivot, which sounded pretty good. About $40 on eBay new.Neal | |
| Norsdost Heimdall iKable I will let you know, Stringreen, as I went ahead and ordered it. You may be right, but I do not see why a better cable in this setting should not make the same difference as , e.g., from a source to a pre.Thanks.Neal | |
| Best sounding Krell ? The 300cx is a contender as well, if 300 watts/ch is enough for you, as it would be for almost any speaker. I have had it for 6 years and it has all the dynamics and bass for which Krell is famous, plus the sweetness and delicacy for which is prev... |
