| Dac Questions from an Analogue guy : If you lent CDs to your friend, I don't think he can turn them into any hi-resolution files, he only has 16 bits and 44khz to start with. As I said he may do some upsampling, but that won't make them into what I'd consider to be a hi-rez file.For ... | |
| Dac Questions from an Analogue guy : I don't think your ICON player can output anything more than a 16/44 signal, so a lot of your questions might not be applicable just using that transport. Some DACS can "upsample" that signal to higher levels; I have ultimately found that to be a ... | |
| Speakers that copied the Wilson Watt Puppy look Way back, I believe that the SOTA Panorama speakers were similar in appearance and build to the WP. Hyperion speakers had the same look as well, though they were one-box speakers. | |
| Turntable setup under $2000? I believe that your YBA has a phono stage, and a pretty good one at that, but you should confirm that before figuring your final pricing and also determine if it's a MM or MC phono stage, as that will affect your cartridge choice. Goldprintaudio's... | |
| The Demise of the Hi-End Audio Store Buconero117, that sounds like Summit! | |
| What to buy ??? I would say that the XDS1's bass is significantly tighter than prior EMM Labs efforts, at least compared with my CDSD SE/DCC2SE units that I used previously. It also gets a good deal more of the low level detail, IMO. The use of the Esoteric trans... | |
| Dunlavy SC4 Speakers I agree, you need to be at least 8 to 10 feet away for the best driver integration (when you're listening from your listening seat, as opposed to elsewhere). Best not to movbe everything around, in my view. | |
| Easter Bunny Lays New Egg Who needs those $2500 wireless speakers mentioned in another thread from today when you can get the same wireless technology for far less with these? | |
| Hearing Aid Confusion Lloydc--I live in NJ, and insurance doesn't cover it; as far as I know, I'm not getting a special deal. I basically lease the unit, with unlimited replacements during the lease if it goes bad or the battery in it runs out (usually every 2-4 months... | |
| Hearing Aid Confusion I have the Lyric in one of my ears, and it is programmed to compensate for the frequencies where I have hearing loss due to an infection years ago. It works very well, though it can be overloaded and compress when hit with loud sounds in the highe... | |
| Dunlavy SC4 Speakers I'd suggest you get the speakers in your room and start listening and experimenting. Then you'll see if they need a sub or not. | |
| Dunlavy SC4 Speakers I think you'll love them. Yes, they can be improved on, but they do everything well and that's what makes them so good. | |
| Dunlavy SC4 Speakers I seem to recall there was an audio dealer in Des Moines, Iowa (Audio Video Logic?) who may still stock some parts for Dunlavy speakers. Might be worth giving them a try. | |
| Does it matter which component I power up first? Lupinthe3rd, when you get as old as some of us sometimes you tend to forget things. :^) You are correct, of course, that your method works fine as well. | |
| Does it matter which component I power up first? Follow you owner's manual advice. You can probably avoid the turn-on thump problems doing as Lupinthe3rd does and muting or turning the volume all the way down on the integrated amp, but you do risk a disturbing sound if you forget to do that, and... |
