| Used Rega Planet or Apollo vs. affordable PC audio think catastrophic flood or lightning storm that sends electrical surge spikes thru anything and everything plugged into a wall. Its happened to my sister and a friend of mine (separate occasions). I think having the CD is the ultimate back-up, bu... | |
| Used Rega Planet or Apollo vs. affordable PC audio Another thing about buy the CD and ripping it for PC audio - if, in 5-6 years, your hard drive goes t!ts up and you lose 50GB of music, you can get it all back. If the files are simply downloads, the lossless version may not be so readily available. | |
| Used Rega Planet or Apollo vs. affordable PC audio OK - so...back to the OP - which system do you think would sound better? We have one vote for and one against the Rega...And regarding the fate of physical media - until a good solution for lossless downloads is implemented, for a broad range of g... | |
| Recommendations for 5-Disc Carousel Player I should also have noted, my current Yami changer needs a push to get the tray back into the unit, and changing discs is quite noisy, but I don't care much about that. I use the thing because I can run it and my Yami amp off of the same remote. Th... | |
| Recommendations for 5-Disc Carousel Player I have read a lot of bad reviews about the Denon DCM 290 and 390 changers, bad reliability, worse service, but they have Burr Brown DACs - the 390 has a 20 bit DAC. No other changers on the market have these DACs that I know of - Sony uses Analog ... | |
| upgrade the amp or the head unit? speakers are a 2.1 system, B&W 685s and a HSU VTF-1 sub. current Yami changer does not have a digital output. On the back of my Yami receiver under the spring clip speaker terminals, there is a bit of text stating the amp is stable to 8 ohms w... | |
| Used Rega Planet or Apollo vs. affordable PC audio Learsfool has a point. I know audiophiles who prefer CDs and vinyl just because of the media aspect - handing the case/cover, seeing the cover art, the liner notes, etc. I am not one of these types of folks. We have two diametrically opposite opin... | |
| CDP breaks and I move to computer-based... I would rather stick with PC audio for the convenience or access to thousands of songs. What if you have a jitter problem? You could try an affordable re-clocker, like the Monarchy DIP, run toslink into the DIP and then digital coax into your DAC.... | |
| Paradigm Mini Monitors v.5 I think Paradigm's generally are better at low end response. I was disappointed with my 685s bass, obviously its a bookshelf speaker (only goes to 49Hz), but I did not have the $$$ for floorstanders. So I saved up and bought a sub. Now my system g... | |
| B&W 685 vs Monitor Audio BR5 I have the 685s on B&W stands | |
| Peachtree Decco vs. MF V-DAC Tgrisham - great suggestion regarding the choice of toslink cable. This is the first company I have seen that makes me confident buying plastic over glass (>GASP< what did I just write??!?)...What is a T-amp? I am not getting a Decco if the ... | |
| Paradigm Mini Monitors v.5 Wharfedale has much better frequency response than the 685s. Also, the new Wharfedale 10 series has magnetic speaker grills, great freq response and is IMHO a better deal than the 685s. Wish I had known about them last August... | |
| B&W 685 vs Monitor Audio BR5 I run B&W 685s off of a 15 year old Yami receiver and I have been very happy. I am kind of a bass head and most of the music I listen to benefits from good deep bass, so I bought a HSU VTF-1 to match with the 685s. All total, its a $1200 inves... | |
| Peachtree Decco vs. MF V-DAC Stanwal and Elderoth2 both posted in December, talking about results from a HiFiCritic magazine test that rated several DACs on a point system:Pro-Ject USB BOX @ 100 GBP - 22 pointsFirestone Audio Fubar II USB @ 124 GBP - 25 pointsMF V-DAC @ 150 G... | |
