| DAC for iPod/iPhone Look at JDS Labs website. They've got a DAC/headphone amp that works with modern idevices. | |
| High End Enclosures Pose this question on audio circle DIY forums. There are definitely some good manufacturers out there. | |
| what speaker for rega brio-r I don't know about the LSA .5, but I just auditioned it with the LSA Statement, and it DIDN'T make the most of that speaker's abilities. It did a better job with the Silverline Prelude. I haven't compared the Prelude with other speakers, but it so... | |
| Sennheiser 650 Headphone Cable Upgrade I had good experiences with signal cables for my HD 580s. There is a 30 day return policy. | |
| Satellite Type Speakers for 2ch System Good suggestion. I like the simplicity, as we could just connect an airport express to the A5+ speakers. The A5's are rear ported, so that is an issue for mounting near a wall. But she may have the perfect situation... I was going to mount the spe... | |
| Life after ADS How do those ADS models compare to the 810's, which I have heard and was impressed with? | |

| MHDT Havana best DAC under 600 used? The USB is its weak link. If you are going to use USB as a source, get a converter to spdif. I'm not sureifthe USB is even asynchronous. | |
| To Vandersteen or not to Vandersteen Why not look into a good sub or pair of subs? | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio vs Crecendo ? I was very impressed with the Adagios when I heard them. Perhaps a tad bit laid back. Would love to hear the Crescendo's. | |
| Repair of Bedini Amp Replacing the caps with the same (or better) spec modern equivalents did the trick. As I said, Gary told me that there was nothing unique about the power caps they put in originally relative to the ones I replaced them with. This may be different ... | |
| Pulling the trigger on pricey equipment The hardest high $$ sale I ever did was with a Vietnamese fellow who was acting as an agent for a richer guy in Vietnam for a CAT JL2 amplifier ($5k). He had no feedback, and he claimed no account because of Agon international issues. I have excel... | |
| Amplifier for Dynaudio Confidence C1 I've heard the original C1's sound great with Gamut monoblock amplification. The older version, which might be within your cost estimate. TAS did a review on the stereo version of the Gamut amp, and I heard the monoblocks in the reviewers listenin... |
