| Audio Alchemy DDE v.3 Dac problem Check out the Channel Islands Audio VDA 2 DAC. At $599 it's a killer dac for the money in my opinion. | |
| Van Alstine SS vs. McCormack DNA amps I have a DNA 125 and it's a great amp. I picked up the RLD 1 pre shortly after and the combo blows away the McIntosh 7100 amp and C15 pre combo it replaced. | |
| $300 for older Rotel/Outlaw or do something else? The 1066 smokes any of the Outlaw preamps. | |
| McCormack vs. Parasound Amp I am currently using a DNA-125 and I can easily say it's the best sounding amp I've ever owned and I've had many. I'm using it with their RLD-1 pre and PSB Platinum M2 speakers, very lifelike 3D sound. | |
| Information on Emotiva The 990 is a good pre but it's seriously outdated compared to the UMC-1. That's why it's $700 and not $1200 like it was originally priced. I'm waiting for the UMC-1 to put in my preamp's HT bypass. | |
| I need SS muscle McCormack DNA 225s can be had cheap with the launch of the DNA 250. It's a great amp, I have a DNA 125 and it's extremely musical and has great dynamics. | |
| Mirage BPS-400 subwoofer or something new? great sub for $250 | |
| very detailed bookshelf monitor around $700 used I've seen PSB Platinum M2s for as low as $800, awesome speaker. | |
| Transitioning from Tubes back to SS I bought a McCormack RLD-1 and DNA-125 and never looked back. | |
| Bryston or Outlaw The Bryston is leagues above the 200. The 200s are good for budget system. The ATI amps are good and have a seven year warranty, but Bryston's is 20. | |
| Snell Snell's still in business ? | |
| 3 head cassette decks Believe it or not Sanyo made a serious deck back in the day, the 5370. You can buy them dirt cheap, IF you can find one. I still use it to make tapes for my car, it's a great sounding machine. http://www.vintagecassette.com/Sanyo/RD5370 | |
| What the most musical power amp for under $1K? I have a McCormack DNA 125 and love it, in fact it replaced an Anthem AMP 1 which was a nice sounding 40w tube amp. The DNA 125 is a great amp that you can find used for around $800. FWIW I paid $1600 for mine new and felt it was well worth the mo... | |
| An antiquated DAC or an affordable recent one? I've owned some older Audio Alchemy dacs, some decent CD players, and a CAL Alpha DAC which was one of my better hifi purchases some time ago. A while back I started out looking for a cheap DAC to connect my cable box and DVD player to in a 2.1 sy... | |
| Sherwood Unfortunately no one's actually heard the 972, it's not here yet. |
