| What CD-player or DAC should I get ? I think A hayman's idea is a good one. I can't believe how relatively low the prices are on the ARC CD3's. | |
| if you had 2500,what player stands out???? What I mean is that digital innovation happens quickly. Get something that you will be able to sell and get most of your money out of when you upgrade, minimizing your loss. I think $1500 (maybe 2K) is all you need to spend to get very good digita... | |
| if you had 2500,what player stands out???? Given the rate of advancement in digital technology these days, I would recommend thinking twice about spending more than $1500 on a digital front end. | |
| The iPod and the Audiophile To me, the iPod is just the new Walkman (I know i'm dateing myself here). Sure, it is MUCH more powerful and flexible than the original Walkman but it is a portable music device. The revolution, to me, is "iTunes". As many of you know from my syst... | |
| Benchmark Dac 1 vs Bel Canto Dac 2 ????????????? You can order the Benchmark from Audio Advisor and take it for a 30 day test drive (they may even sell the bel canto). That way you can hear it in your system, which is the only way to know. | |
| Esoteric UX-3 vs. XO-3 I agree that the war is over, with mostly losers and few, if any, winnners. Stick with redbook until you see what happens with HD/Blu-ray thing. | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need I sold all my non-audiophile CD's to a few local shops in my area. I got between $2 and $5 a piece. But, I only had about 400 or so. I put the cash and some store credit to more music. I have all my stuff ripped onto two different hard drives. One... | |
| Dodson Audio - Still in Business? Definitely some of the best DAC's around. My best to Mr. Dodson as well. | |
| will the VAC 30/30 sound ok with VSA DB-99's Should work splendidly! Let us know how it sounds. | |
| Soliloquy 6.2i vs VS vr4jr , Zu Druid & Usher 6371 I believe Zu offers an in home trial that allows you to return the speakers ifyou don't like them. In home trials are the only way to know. | |
| Marantz SA8260 Direct to Amp I agree with lars22. Your situation is begging for an integrated amp and there are plenty of good ones to be had for under $1500 used. I don't think you can do better in seperates (remember, with seperates you will need another set of interconnect... | |
| Which DAC for computer based system? Computer sits atop my stereo rack. No interconnects are longer than 1M. I currently have no remote capabilities with this configuration but could if I wanted, without too much difficulty. | |
| Best power amp for under 1K Good call Jmcgrogan2. I would also suggest a MUSE 100. | |
| Why does Denon 3910 default to PCM for sacds? I am now listening to a Denon 9000 and while it has the Pure Direct option it does not have the newer Source Direct option. Oh, and this is not a Universal player either as it does not do SACD. | |
| Good sources for tubes other than Upscale Parts Connexion might be a good place. |
