| Jitter reduction, best device? mapman - if your skeptical, then you will probably never be happy with a setup like this because in the back of your mind, you think other alternatives will be better. why don't you think a pc can read a cd as well as a cd player? check out who ma... | |
| Jitter reduction, best device? hens - i also use the monarchy in my audio system. i also heard a huge improvement when i inserted this device before the dac. i also use other brand jitter devices in my den and rec room and they also made a large improvement in the quality. | |
| Office System -- Low Volume Speakers i have never heard or had a pair of totem speakers that were bright. if the arros sounded bright, there must have been some cheap hardware before the speakers. | |
| Office System -- Low Volume Speakers just curious, why would you think the mites or staff's would be a better fit? the arros will actually give you a more full sound than the mites. for a smallish bookshelf speaker, the mites are very nice, but the arros are just better all around. t... | |
| Office System -- Low Volume Speakers the totem arros would be an excellent choice. i used to own them for my den setup in my last house. i sold them andwent with the totem taw in-wall speakers in my new den. | |
| How does Totem do it ??? i have had my mani's for 5 years now. they need power, PERIOD! i use a 200 watt classe amp for mine which is as low as i would go. but, they sound very nice. a few years a go i took the mani's to my friends audio store and hooked them up to the 10... | |
| Jitter reduction, best device? bottom line: the only way to tell if a jitter device will do something in your system is to try it. everybody could guess all day long about things. but in the end, you won't know if it works or not for you until you test it. also, all the room tu... | |
| How do YOU organize your iTunes library? a nas device is just a storage system attached to all of your computers. you would still have your computer running itunes but your itunes library can be placed on the nas. the nas is a good idea if you have multiple computers sharing the same dis... | |
| Jitter reduction, best device? not necessarily. why does esoteric build a $10k external clock? why does dcs build the 3 box setup for $60k. thats like saying you can buy the cheapest cd player but the dac will fix all symptoms. those pieces sound wonderful but at a price. IMO, ... | |
| Looking for a small bedroom amp thats probably it. it did have a glass cage. i used to own the jd1301 for my den and it is a giant killer imo. both the jd10 and the jd1301 produce more power than their specifications indicate. | |
| Airport Express to DAC - Cable Suggestion depends on how much you want to spend. some companies to consider are: audio alchemy, monarchy, and genesis. | |
| Adcom DAC the 700 has hdcd, balanced outputs, better chips, and just sounds better. i used to also own the 600. | |
| Flash report from 2009 T.H.E. Show 1 day? last time i went, i was there all 4 days and still didn't see everything. | |
| Jitter reduction, best device? mapmani disagree on your theory that your ears can tell if you have jitter or not. all i can tell you is if you hook up the jitter device between the source component and the dac, you will hear a big improvement, something you won't hear until you... | |
| Looking for a small bedroom amp i don't remember. it will have a clear cover to it. it sounded fantastic. i'm thinking about purchasing 1 when it comes out. i wrote jolida and they said feb. the decco also sounded very good. its between those 2. a little bit more $$$ and the pri... |
