| new updates in transports or are they obsolete ? That will be interesting Rcprince, keep us informed. | |
| Will MFSL gold cds sound better on pc audio than They will sound better than inferior recordings. In this case it does not have specifically to do with the fact that you are puttin git on a hard drive. The same old maxim applies to the hard drive as to a cd player: "better recordings/masters wil... | |
| new updates in transports or are they obsolete ? I have written about my own comparisons between transports (dedicated and CD player) and my hard drive based system before on other threads here. In short, I no longer have a CD player and all my CD's are now in my attic. | |
| ipod -VS - Mac-Mini I agree with the above sentiments on using either the Mini or a laptop for your source. You will end up wanting an iPod too so budget that in, but you would not want to use the iPod as your source. You can look at my system (and others) to see pos... | |
| What's the difference in sound... I'm not much of a detail guy so I don't know how helpful this will be. I have owned both. The 217 D with 218 software is outstanding, all around -- balanced, smooth, detailed, non-fatiguing, invovling, etc.. The 218 is just MORE of this already "g... | |
| CD player in the $2,500 to $5,000 range If you don't want SACD I would seriously consider maximizing redbook with a redbook only player. Of the players you have listed I have heard the G08 and thought it great. Others have recommended some nice players as well. I agree with everyone who... | |
| Has anyone tried out new Mapleshade speaker wires Has anyone ever listened to any Mapleshade cables? Curious. | |
| Which One box cd player I have heard both, but at different times, in different systems. I liked both of them. I think it is really more a matter of different strenghts rather than one being better than the other. I don't think you can really go wrong here. Obviously, de... | |
| Solid state amp for Von Schweikert vr4jr's My JR's sound great with my pass labs amp. You may want to look for a used one. | |
| Looking for a new powerful amp. I am using the Pass Labs X250.5 with a tube preamp right now and it is a wonderful combination. Best my system has ever sounded. I see several demo 250.5's on sale now at really good prices. Consider it. | |
| Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player...... I own the Prima MK II SE DAC and it is a wonderful piece that does have volume control. Probably more like the Capitole II than the Prima CD player. | |
| PC as a transport vs Regular transport or player I have crossed over to a PC set-up and just can't see myself going back at this point. I was so nostaligic to handle CD's that I bought a CEC transport. But, I returned it becuase it was not an imrovement in sound over my hard-drive based system. ... | |
| PC as a transport vs Regular transport or player It is important to distinguish something here. Using a laptop as an interface and the hard-drive as the transport is different than putting a disc into the computer and listening to the computer playing the disc. I agree that the computer playing ... | |
| Audio Aero Prima I have spent some quality time with the Prima MK II SE DAC, which is more like the D/A section of Capitole II than the Prima CD player. It is one of the better DAC's out there. | |
| Notice how many SACD collections for sale? I put SACD to rest earlier this year. I have decided to maximize my redbook playback. I already unloaded all of my single sided SACD's and am slowly getting rid of my hybrids. It was a nice ride, got me into Jazz music. |
