| Review: Blue Circle BC509 DA converter I have the 509. | |
| General PC Audio Set-Up Question Thanks for the responses!My reason for going the streaming route was only because my router and modem are currently in a different room than the rest of my audio system. I could change this set-up, but it would take a little bit of doing and might... | |
| Talon Raven C vs. Tannoy 15 DMT's I am still working on that. I feel I had an amp issue which ultimately led to the demise of my speakers. I'll let you know when I get a proper diagnosis.I have JC1's - one side was not working properly. When I swapped to see if it was the amp or s... | |
| Talon Raven C vs. Tannoy 15 DMT's Congrats! I have no heard the Tannoy's but I think you will enjoy the Talons. They have an incredible soundstage and are incredibly controlled and powerful.Enjoy! I hope mine get fixed soon! | |
| Talon Raven C vs. Tannoy 15 DMT's I have had Raven C's for the last three years and they are amazing. On the used market, I don't think they have an equal. They need lots of power to sound their best (I have JC1's) so you have a very good set-up indeed. These speakers are very pla... | |
| Pre/power or Int Amp for Wilson Sophias? A good friend of mine has Sophia's and he has tried everything with them. These speakers are both fantastic and forgiving and as such nearly eveything coupled with them produces good results - JC-1's, ARC, BAT, C-J, etc. However, having said that,... | |
| Law of Diminishing Returns - CD/SACD Players Hi Calgarian,I can empathize with your situation. I had a chance to listen to many top players and there certainly are differences: the best players (the Aurum Integris and Audio Research CD7 for example) do indeed sound markedly better than less ... | |
| ML390S directly into JC-1's Everyone - thanks for your input! I am actually going to see if I can demo the ML390S. | |
| Talon repair parts etc Mike,Is Talon Audio out of business? If so - yikes - I purchased some used Raven C's a few months ago. I hope these speakers last a long time, they are really nice. I really don't want to be SOL... | |
| Pre-amp recommendation: JC-1/Talon Raven C/ARC CD2 Thanks for the info Jb.I have also been very impressed with the BC equipment that I have heard - and that I own. I also like how his equipment is upgradeable - the Despina could be upgraded to a Galatea and even to your pre-amp (if I won the lotte... | |
| Pre-amp recommendation: JC-1/Talon Raven C/ARC CD2 Thanks for the info. I have chatted with Kevin and Gilbert about my options including the PLS. I really think that BC is the way to go, but I would first like to hear what the others can do since they are immediately available. Unfortunately, this... | |
| ARC CD7 vs ? ? The Cd7 is a very fine CDP. I have not heard a direct comparison, but you might want to consider the Aurum Acoustics Integris - also a state of the are CDP. The CD7 may be a better fit with your Ref 3 though.... | |
| Pre-amp recommendation: JC-1/Talon Raven C/ARC CD2 Thanks for the link. Some good info there.What I plan to do is audition the ones that I can at home, that is the LS16MKII and Ayre K5X. If neither of these amps fit the bill, then I will splurge for the Blue Circle Despina... | |
| What hybrid power amp? Kesh, the BC204 does come balanced - but it is pretty darn expensive. BC stuff is hard to find used too. | |
| Which integrated: Nait 5i, Panache or Shanling? I have a Panache and am very happy with it. The midrange is amazing, and in my opinion, it does live up to its hype. Highly recommended. |
