| Sooloos vs. Sonos I debated the Squeezebox and Sonos systems and ultimately went with the Squeezebox. I got a Transporter for the main system which let me incorporate a DSP into the system and has a really good DAC built in plus balanced outputs. I just installed a... | |
| Which DAC for $1K?Benchmark?Perpetual????? If you are looking at the Perpetual combo MAKE SURE that you get a Modwright, or other, modded P3 DAC. As for the the jitter aspects of the P1 I haven't seen any comparison to the Benchmark but suspect that it's just as good. The neat thing about ... | |
| Turntable tech in Seacoast -Portsmouth-NH area Sounds like you would benefit from purchasing Michael Fremer's Turntable Setup DVD. Do a Google search for reviews and availability. From all accounts it's very good.Also, a quick Google search turned up Fidelis (fidelisav.com), a Basis dealer, lo... | |
| Upgrade for Thiel 1.6 - Or a waste of $$ So, how did the Benchmark compare to the RSX-1067? If it was an improvement, then seek out a 2-ch pre-amp with HT bypass. That way you can keep your current setup and use the new pre-amp for just 2-channel listening. This is the best way to optimi... | |
| Upgrading Sonic Frontiers Line 3SE to ??? Have you tried a different amp to see if that makes a positive difference in your system? I'm using a Line 3SE and don't have issues with dynamics and bass weigth, but I've got Bryston 7B-STs so there's plenty of bass drive. | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line - 1 Volume Control I know if I say mine is OK it will break. My Line3 did the ramp to max volume when I had my headphones on. OUCH! SF fixed it under warranty which involved a logic change. I don't know if the encoder was replace however. | |
| Sonic Frontiers preamp in standby mode I leave my Line 3SE in standby when not in use and have for over 5 years without problems. I seem to recall that the owners manual indicates that if you aren't going to use it for 3-4 days then you may want to power down.Leaving the heaters powere... | |
| Looking for suggestions for a 'new' cassette deck I've always enjoyed Naks. You might consider having the deck professionally overhauled. Stephen Sank worked on my 581 (sold) and my current CR-7A. | |
| Adding DAC to 5-Disc changer Knowing your budget and sonic preferences (musical, analytical,etc.) would be helpful. | |
| With SME Model 10 is it possible to get 78RPM? I upgraded from a TD126 MKII to the SME10. Amazing upgrade!Keep the Thorens for 78 only which would be a more cost effective solution than the SME20 or trying to use the 20's motor controller on the 10. | |
| Anybody go from Thorens 125 II to VPI? I'd think with all the different spinners at your disposal you'd have a pretty good idea of the sonic finger print of the Thorens. I went from a TD-126MkII/TP-16(?)/V15VxMR to an SME-10/V15VxMR and the improvement was nothing short of amazing.I do... | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used WRT Modwright... Dan modified my Perpetual P3 to his Level 2 and it totally changed the character of the beast for the better. Give him a call or drop him an e-mail about modding your Link DAC. He's a very nice guy, has a good ear and does good work. | |
| Helikon LOADING 47K was too bright and 470 ohms a little too flat. I settled on 5K just as an intermediate order of magnitude which seems to suite my taste. I suspect that 1K would have worked equally well. It will depend on your preferences. | |
| SME Model 10 How much should I spend on speakers? "Cart:I think I am going to get a Lyra Helikon, will that be good with a SME 10?"I have the Helikon in my SME 10 and it works very well. I don't have the exact numbers but, recall that the compliancy and mass was just about perfect for the arm. If... | |
| SME Model 10 How much should I spend on speakers? I upgraded from a Thorens TD126mkII and absolutly love my SME-10. When I upgraded my audio chain I went from the speakers back to the source. Until I finished I could hear the limitations of the upstream components. So, my recommendation is to wor... |
