| Windows Media Player I wouldn't under estimate the importance of the pc configuration and software. The final result is very cumulative IMO. | |
| Can Mac/PC compete with High End CDT?? I recently built a music server based upon the cics Memory Player (cMP2). It has been both very rewarding and eye/ear opening to say the least.In the past, I have tried using my daily office computer to stream uncompressed audio to my Playback Des... | |
| Windows Media Player Windows has many responsibilities, one of which is audio but understandably the OS was never built with for audiophile purposes in mind. The cics philosophy is try to minimize and streamline the OS to reduce RFI/EMI noise, latency and jitter which... | |
| Windows Media Player You might want to take a look at the cics Memory Player. I recently built it with great results. Even if you don't want to go down the route of cMP/cPlay, I would still recommend the PC optimizations that are discussed in detail. The improvements ... | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? If you take a trip to Montreal, you can hear the Verity ... maybe at the factory. ;-)I purchased my Playback Designs MPS-5, Blue Circle BC206 & BC208 sight unseen and it worked out. When I purchased the BC206 ($15k US), I knew very little of B... | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? They have a dealer in Toronto, but I don't know who it is. Just give them a call 519-469-3215. They have a message on their site that email is currently down.Gilbert Yeung (owner/designer) is great to work with. | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? You might want to check out Blue Circle from Innerkip ON Canada. Gilbert makes some very fine products. I assume you are in the Toronto area so auditioning it would be easy. | |
| Blue Circle amplifiers I can certainly attest to how accommodating Gilbert will be if you want to tailor your equipment to make it more special. My recent purchases were a dramatic change from stock. | |
| Blue Circle amplifiers I have no experience with BC integrated amps so I'm not sure that this will be any use to you. I own the BC206 and just recently the BC208 and they are special amps indeed. The 200 series has an effortless quality about them that never make you th... | |
| Blue Circle BC 3000 MKII Gilbert has always had a remote vc option, however even he says that it compromises the performance. You do have the option of bypassing the remote vc and using the manual shallco's, but that doesn't make much sense to me. I asked him if he could ... | |
| Blue Circle BC 3000 MKII Jwtrace,I was actually considering Gilbert's BC303 DWBB which is their tube based flagship pre. Although it is a production unit, Gilbert still does not have any propaganda on his site and Im not sure that he really intends on putting anything up... | |
| Blue Circle BC 3000 MKII I would take a look at the Blue Circle forum. There are plenty of comments that have been posted on this pre.I had the opportunity to spend some time with the 3000 MKII GZpz and it is a wonderful pre. Has lots of speed, detail and clarity but neve... | |
| EMM Labs DAC2 When I asked their sales director about it, the performance should remain similar to the current SE as the DAC remains relatively unchanged.The "breakthru" seems to be that they will now offer jitter-free inputs without their proprietary digital l... | |
| Review: Playback Designs MPS-5 CD Player I was asked a question on my thread, so I thought I would post my response here as well ... FWIW.-----------------I'm not sure if I can add anything more meaningful to what has already been said about the PD player.Construction wise, the player se... | |
| Which is the top dog in "subs"? The DD-18 will go deeper and with greater ease. They are very musical and do not over power my room.I previously used a single DD-15, but once I went to the stereo DD-18s, the bass no longer sounded forced. It is simply there, in an effortless and... |
