| Moving from Blue Heaven to Silver Reference II Thank you for taking the time to respond with specifics. In reality I would really like to get my hands on a Nirvana S-L, but they are impossible to find on audiogon!Thanks again | |
| Moving from Blue Heaven to Silver Reference II Audphile1,I was hoping you wouldn't say that! lolI'm trying extract realistic cymbals from my system and was hoping the Silv. Ref II would be a step in the right direction. Are you suggesting that this cable may not privde for much bloom in the mi... | |
| Cary 303/300 VS. Resolution Audio Opus 21??? I remember reading reviews (stereophile I think) that stated the Cary 303/300 was forward sounding, even with tubes. Having said that, I would go for the Opus if analog-like is your goal. | |
| Integrated Amps with HT bypass? I believe that the Plinius integrateds have a HT bypass... My 8200 does... | |
| Music that has good cymbals So I picked up Monk's Monk (remastered), JVC's XRCD of Bill Evan's Trio was hard to track down but was able to order a used copy, the Patricia Barber red book Cafe Blue disk, and the Manu Katche red book Neighborhood CD...Some of your recommendati... | |
| Plinius 9200 or separates? Leftyfox,Take that tube preamp and plug it in between your source and the 9200. Turn the volume on the 9200 all the way up. Adjust your listening volume on the preamp. What are you hearing? | |
| Which DAC for $1K?Benchmark?Perpetual????? What would be the purpose of puchasing the Electrocompaniet DAC and not the CD player itself? It seems that for only about $500 more on the used market you could get the one box solution, no? Just wondering if there are any downsides here... | |
| Upgrade Audio Aero Prima with mods? Restock, curious what your thoughts are after you've had some time with the unit... | |
| A viable portable system? Just curious... What is everyone importing their music as? I read the article in the above link and don't remember reading what format was used and at what bit rate.Thanks. | |
| AAC, AIFF, Lossless, MP3 Wow, 128, I was hoping for a little more resolution! I'm very happy with MP3 at 320 VBR on the Nano. Thanks to all that guided me in that direction. As an experiment, I went from the line out on the dock into my Plinius integrated and while the so... | |
| AAC, AIFF, Lossless, MP3 Sort of a related question regarding iTunes...What is the highest quality download that you can obtain from the iTunes store. I don't believe that they offer downloads in Apple Lossless, is that correct? If so, how high up the chain can you go?Tha... | |
| AAC, AIFF, Lossless, MP3 Ckorody,What I was thinking about doing was keeping everything I already have in Lossless for home playback. And, making copies of the Lossless files in MP3 format for the Nano. It's kind of cumbersome to have two different copies of the same song... | |
| AAC, AIFF, Lossless, MP3 Thank you for your responses thus far. So MP3 is arguably the best size v. quality compromise for an iPod? Am I correct in assuming that all you experimented with the different bit rates using iTunes?Tobooe, I too have a Cary CDP and have been dyi... | |
| Someone please 'splain me Hi Boa2,That is interesting that you find it difficult to say which you prefer... I would have thought that playing the SB through your modified player's DAC would have been the clear cut choice. Show hows little I know...Also, does anyone one hav... |
