| New YBA equipment... Old YBA Benn, there should be a switch to initialize the player before pressing play. This will read the disk the same as a front loading player does when you close the drawer. I once had a CD3 and it had this switch. Plop a disc on, initialize, play. | |
| Gallo Reference 3.1 vs Zu Druid Tricon dave, Thank you for finding the words that have eluded me wrt the Druid sound. | |
| Top Choices Under 2K Dac and Transport I'd suggest the Museatex Bitstream dac (modded by John Wright of Museatex) with a Theta data II. That should put him at around 1000 to 1200 bucks. Add a decent digital cable and you still are under 1500. This is one of the best combos I have heard... | |
| Zu tone or Druid or which Omega ? Do not purchase the Druid without hearing it first. You may love it. You may not. I have heard it five times in different rooms with different gear. Sometimes it sounded good and sometimes it did NOT. | |
| Placette RVC review in Stereophile So then what would be ideal matching for a passive to work as well as an active. I guess it is optimizing source output impedance with amp input impecance assuming gain is more than sufficient. But what are those optimal impedances? | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables I have standard bybees in one pair. I have used the plug in bybee filters in the past on IC's and never cared for them. A little gained but something lost. NOT the case here. I have been unable to find a downside. They reveal a little more and pro... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables As I said earlier I planned to post my thoughts on the Jade cables once I spent sufficient time with them. I find that initially when one compares components, the differences are noticed and if one likes these differences, one becomes pleased and ... | |

| Best Transport with Museatex Bitstream DAC The biggest bang for the buck transport I had was the Theta Data II (big freakin laser disc) transport. I took it to a buddy's for him to hear and he begged me to buy it. So I sold it to him. It was the most regretful sale I ever made.Then I happe... | |
| JADE AUDIO Cables The cables I used were Purist Aqueous Anniversary and Venustas, Jena Labs Symphony and the top Sonoran cables. I've used numerous other cables but these were well above anything near their price. That is until I got the Jade cables.I plan to go in... | |

| Who Do You Credit For Getting You Into This Hobby? I would credit the late Michael Oddie, owner of Alternative Audio. His store (Village Audio at the time) was on my way to university. I walked by nearly every day and one day decided to see what was in the store. Michael always remembered me whene... | |
| Trying to extract more from my Vandersteen It's funny how I read your post and came to the same conclusion as Albert before I finished reading your question. I think your money is best spent on speakers. Having heard the Vandy's last week, I am confident in mine and Albert's suggestions. | |
| I want to talk to Wyetech Topaz's owners If you have read the Soundstage review of the topaz, you'll find that Mickelson reviewed them on a pair of WP7's and found they had plenty of power. In comparison to the Lamm ML2:" The amps' power output seems about equal, with perhaps the Wyetech... |
