| Need Advice on a DAC for my Music Server? Here is an article that I think does a nice job of explaining things. I am not sure who's point it supports I just think it is great information.http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue22/nugent.htmHere is another good link that, if I recall, talks ... | |
| Need Advice on a DAC for my Music Server? My understanding is that Lossless is not actually compressed. It is smaller than a regular file but that does not mean the music is compressed. Others who know more than I do have written about this on other threads here with more sophistication, ... | |
| Need Advice on a DAC for my Music Server? Do check out threads on just this topic that have appeared here before--much good info already been written. That said, I think Audioadvisor.com sells both the Bel Canto and Benchmark and offers a 30 day trial so you do not have to keep them if yo... | |
| Cary 306 SACD Personally, I don't prefer tubes on a CD player (I do like a tube pre though), so I like that the 306 SACD doesn't have tubes. Though, I think it is great that the 303/300 gives people the option. | |
| Cary 306 SACD From what people are saying it sounds like the 306 has better redbook playback than the 303/300. Of interest to me is the fact that it has a digital input, which I don't believe the 303/300 has. Anyone used the digital input on the new 306 SACD? | |
| Cary 306 SACD Anyone know if the 306 SACD can play Dual Discs? | |
| Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp??? Thanks, Blindjim. I suspect the 55 would drive them as well. I really do listen at low volumes 90% of the time and even when I turn it up its not that loud. I do have my JR's biwired right now but the amp ends of my wire are joined together as I o... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp??? So, do you guys think a BAT VK-55 would be powerrful enough to drive the JR's fully? I am curious about tubes and listen at pretty low volumes -- but I like to have full sound a low volumes. | |
| Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp??? Well said, Arkio. One mistake people often make with the Jr's is to not fill their chamber with shot or sand. Most who know about these consider this essential to set-up. As with any speaker attention to set-up and room acoustics is vital. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris: I used a CEC TL51-X transport. It did not sound any better than my computer front-end. After 6 months now of living with this set-up, I don't think I can ever go back to CD's and a regular CD player. The Dodson is quite nice. | |
| Battle of the BAT's, VK-60 vs. VK-220 So, where are all of you with this these days? Anyone using the newer VK-55 with their 4 JR's? | |
| Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp??? What other tube amps have people used with the JR's? Assuming, of course, room tuning and placement are all sound, it seems that 60WPC tubes is a minimum? | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I am using a Dodson 218 for conversion in a hard-drive based system. I find it oveall a very well balanced, very analog sounding, DAC. Not sure where it fits in the molar categories that organized the beginning of this thread but I think it fits i... | |
| Ultimate Amplifier for the next 20 Years You can get a demo Pass Labs 250.5 from Audio-Video Logic for $4500 with warranty. Really nice amp. Just a suggestion | |
| DAC choice advice - hard-drive based system Audioengr wrote, referring to a list of DAC's he'd auditioned: "The Benchmark is the best sounding of these either stock or modded." That is ONE opinion, of course. |
