| Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ? Check the APL NB-1 speakers, I used to own them but moved to the smaller NB-2s with only one woofer, they are amazing! | |
| APL NWO Owners I use the supplied tubes with the NWO-M. I used to have Elrod Statements and Evolution Acoustics cables but changed them all for the APL cables. I had Formula Grand Prix rack but replaced it with placing on a wood board and a 20kg weight on top th... | |
| Best Integrated amp for Wilson Audio Sasha I used to on the WP/7s and drove them with a Spectron MIIISE amp and VTL TL7.5 preamp. I happily replaced/upgraded this combo to the APL UA-S4 integrated which is a single gain stage amp with extremely pure tone, which I still own although Ive sol... | |
| Favorite High-Resolution Tube DAC? Unless you want tube dac to be able to roll tubes, the APL DAC-S is supposed to be pretty close to the APL NWO-4.0-SE tube based DAC/Player that I own, so I suppose similar signatures. | |
| Your experience & thoughts on SSDs for MacMini Its the first post by PeterST Im referring too, he is Not advocating what you say thats what Miska says, Peter says to deal with all small spikes.Also he is saying in other places that he has designed his software after several trials so that now ... | |
| Your experience & thoughts on SSDs for MacMini Here is an interesting take by someone saying SSDs cant improve sound. http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/Software-Hardware-Comparison?page=1 | |
| Your experience & thoughts on SSDs for MacMini Dmccombs, thats not my intention:-)Without extrapolating then, why do you not have linear PS or battery on the server?So how did the internal HDD compare to an internal SSD?SSDs are getting quite large so with two of those you can cover quite larg... | |
| Your experience & thoughts on SSDs for MacMini Darrell,I just extrapolated from that the mach2 has switching PS you preferred that?So if I understand you never A/B the internal HDD vs. internal SSD?, couldnt this have been easily done by having a stock vs. a Mach2?I dont see why youd wanna use... | |
| $8k budget. Need advice. I use the APL UA-S4, has tube stage and power buffers. I auditioned extensively integrateds and separates before settling with this one.Fits the budget well too. | |
| Your experience & thoughts on SSDs for MacMini Tbg, agree, I would love the convenience of just using Itunes. Imagine if it had the capability of the Sooloos with grouping and searching.As for FW Im not convinced by what Ive heard.I use a Plextor, one of the old really well built ones for ripp... | |
| Your experience & thoughts on SSDs for MacMini Dmccombs,Extrapolating from the mach2 you are saying the Linear PS is worse than the switching inside the mac mini but the ssd makes a big enough difference?Could you please elaborate on the sonic differences between the SSD vs. the HDD? | |
| Your experience & thoughts on SSDs for MacMini I would find big sticks less convenient than a HDD/SSD, it would be like partitions or catalogs and then would they be running of the USB bus or what?Im waiting for my Mac Mini 2010 server version, to compare to the PC I built, both with HDDs, to ... | |
| Your experience & thoughts on SSDs for MacMini Dmccombs,have you tried a linear PS and can you elaborate how the sound changed when going from a HDD to a SSD? | |
| Your experience & thoughts on SSDs for MacMini 03-07-11: Almarg..it would certainly seem conceivable that replacing an hdd with an ssd might affect (and hopefully improve) jitter levels and noise levels on the signal supplied to the dac. The keys in that senetence are "might" and "hopefully", ... | |
| Your experience & thoughts on SSDs for MacMini Prpixel,I thought regular HDDs did sequential (what most programs do) loadings faster than SSDs?Do you copy the music from the external to the internal when you want to listen a song? What type of power supplies do you run, battery or Linear PS?Ch... |
