| USB Cables in PC Audio Data traveling through your USB cable is time sensitive, if it is going to a USB DAC. Design of the cable is very important, and typically you get what you pay for. Try a few at different price points on Audio Advisor, they have a 30-day home tria... | |
| Are all fuses created equal? I blew all the rail fuses in my RB-1080 amp, but didn't know it. Put it into the shop, ListenUp in Denver, and they treated me right. Told me what was wrong, replaced the blown fuses and tighten everything up, tested it out, etc. I brought it home... | |
| Will a Music Hall a15.2 drive 4 ohm speakers? I think Crouse99 has Polk LS50s, if I read his threads correctly. I do currently have Quads, and I feel the sound is a little bright, but I'm not blaming the speakers. My upgrade path is a new amp (Odyssey or McCormack) or new USB converter (John ... | |
| Devices, desktop player, formats, etc I have started ripping music with MC17 to FLAC, because it doesn't like some of the naming conventions iTunes adds to Apple Lossless rips; MC17 names and files some artists differently, for example PJ Harvey. I had to re-rip all of her stuff becau... | |
| Will a Music Hall a15.2 drive 4 ohm speakers? also depends on other ratings for the speaker, like sensitivity. Generally, I stay away from amps that don't have listed power specs into 6 and/or 4 ohms. The power doesn't have to double, but when the power rating at least increases, that is a si... | |
| Frequency Response you might hear speakers' mid-range being described as "ruler flat" across a certain frequency spectrum. That basically means there are no peaks or valleys in the response that affect the lows, mids or highs. This is my understanding of what linear... | |
| parasound a52 amp vs rotel 1075 Parasound halo is in a totally different league than rotel's older line, don't know that much about and haven't heard Rotel's newer line. i know they use a lot of class d in their newest line, and i have heard some class d amps that i just don't l... | |

| Onkyo a-9050 the NAD has a USB DAC, the Onkyo does not. That would be the only reason to go for the NAD, if you don't need a USB DAC get the Onkyo. looks like the Onkyo's power ratings into four ohms are better than the NAD's, which is unexpected. they both ha... | |

| B & W fans I haven't listened to any of the gear you list, but i do have recent experience with both the b&w 685 and the monitor audio bx5. I can say that the mid range sound is very different when comparing the two. I had the 685s in my system first, th... | |
| Streaming music comparisons and quality I like Mog and radio paradise. | |
| Have you heard of EMOTIVA? I talked to them about the updated version of this DAC at RMAF, the new version has a much better volume control, and i think features a fully balanced internal circuit. | |
| Arcam rDac + rWave- good? and really lossless? Only problem with the ipod route is that you have to walk across the room to see the tiny little menu screen on the ipod if you want to change the music. I would prefer to use an external drive hooked up to my laptop via usb, and then use the apar... | |
