USB SQ, what can one expect
The USB cable was a modestly priced mapleshade one, but it certainly surpassed the generic cable by a good margin. 
USB SQ, what can one expect
I believe I have a ways to go but I tried a "better" USB cable and this definitely made a very significant difference. So USB cable nay sayers, cables dooo matter. My journey into computer audio, to be continued. 
AMR DP-777, what am I missing ?
I'm having similar issues but slightly different. I purchased a Resolution Audio Cantata here and so far this is my experience. Playing CD's on this device is absolutely glorious and terrific. Digital off the computer, no where close but my digita... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
Matt, I've very much enjoyed your thread as some day in the not too distant future I too would like to upgrade my digital front end with a bias toward redbook. I am very interested in learning your observations regarding the aesthetix units. Final... 
Best Tannoys for mid-field listening?
I'm listening to my Canterbury's in not the largest of rooms. They are placed on the long wall, fairly close to the wall. My listening position is about 7.5 feet away and they sound awesome! I can only imagine what they would sound like in a large... 
Devore Fidelity Silverback Reference.
Wow, well I suggest you give John Devore a call and perhaps purchase a plane ticket. This to me seems to be the only manner in which your many concerns can be responded to adequately. This is a small company and when I have had questions in the pa... 
Subwoofer for "seamless" integration with Zu Druid
How about the zu undertone. 
Tannoy Speakers & Bi-wiring
Kiddman,The amps are M-60's v 3.1. I find the bass in my room great, full and articulate. Previously I had Merlin speakers and when I whet from Quicksilver V-4's to the Atma-sphere's, I think it really brought out the bass more. Of course with the... 
Pulling the trigger on pricey equipment
I think everyone who uses Audiogon shares and empathizes with your concerns. Fortunately, I have had only enjoyable transactions here but it does take a degree of luck and almost a second sense about the party on the other end of the transaction. ... 
Used turntable market
Yup, it shouldn't be any problem so long as it is packaged properly. All turntables, even new ones must endure shipping at some point. Isn't that true? 
Used turntable market
All I know is that I just recently purchased a very nice used tt/cartridge on audiogon, had it shipped across the country, and all is extremely well. Of course a local sale is always preferable but what your looking for is not always available. 
What is a very nice sounding tube preamp?
I've really enjoyed my Joule LA 100. It's a keeper! Although I'm currently using an Aesthetix Janus Signature, I'm hanging on to my Joule. 
Where to go from here
My experience, at least in my system, has always been that vinyl is significanly more envolving then digital. As long as you can listen through the clicks and modest groove noise (difficult for some), more organic, greater dynamics, much bigger so... 
aesthetix
Thank you for this advice. Do you think that the atma-sphere phono stage would handle a mm cartridge well. I use a cartridge man. 
Raysonic gone belly up, is this a hoax? Read on...
All I know is that my Raysonic 128 CD player doesnt't seem cheaply made at all and sounds pretty darn good.
