| Adding a DAC to a cdp LADavid,"your mileage may vary" depending on the rest of your system. What amp/pre-amp, speakers are you using? If your system is not a high resolution system and if you do not sit down in the sweet spot and critically listen, it may be difficult ... | |
| ZHorns or Hornshoppes? The Decware forum is THE place to find an answer to this question.http://www.decware.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgiI am not currently a Decware owner, but I know several people who are. They "hang out" at the Decware forum and could likely provide feed... | |
| Sensitive Monitors I agree with Rr about the Reference 3A MM DeCapos. I own these speakers and they have gotten me off of the perpetual upgrade train.However, Rr is not correct about the effeciency number. They are actually 92db eff., but they are a very easy speake... | |
| concert DVD recommendations The James Taylor DVD-Live at the Beacon Theater is both visually stunning and sonically very good. I love the simple, but clean way this DVD is filmed. I also like the fact that most people will recognize most of the songs and may even want to sin... | |
| Single input Line-Stage Pre-amp JAX2,Per my suggestions, just because they are inexpensive doesn't mean they aren't good! Why spend big bucks if you don't need to. BTW, the Dodd is pretty good, using the circuitry from the $3500 Melos that Gary Dodd bought the rights to. Also, t... | |
| Single input Line-Stage Pre-amp Do you need the gain of an active pre-amp or is passive OK?If passive will work, Luminous Audio Tech. (LAT) makes a very good single input passive unit for $125 brand new. I think they have a money back offer too, but not sure.For active pre-amps,... | |
| Can I integrate 5Ch Surround with my Stereo setup? It's easy! The simplest way is to buy a quality HT receiver for processing, switching of HT inputs and powering the surrounds, center and sub. As Dave said, simply run the L&R front pre-outs from your future HT receiver/processor into any unus... | |
| Help me pick a monitor I'm surprised that nobody has recommended the Reference 3A MM DeCapo yet! It generally comes up in this type of post. Yes, its list price is $2500, but an excellent used pair can be had for as little as $1000-1500.I have owned a lot of different s... | |
| Blues /rock: music recommendations? Robben Ford and the Blue Line has been in regular rotation in my listening room since about 1992. This is a GREAT record!! My current favorite Blues Rock tune is by a 22 year old kid from Placerville, California named Jackie Greene. I recently saw... | |
| $1K CD Player for Amp w/ truly balanced inputs The price of a balanced version Theta Miles has recently dropped to the $900-1000 range. It is a very good CD player for that kind of money. Of course, like the Sony mentioned, the Miles is a few years old now, BUT, it is a very good company and s... | |
| Audio Refinement Complete owners: amp power Q I have owned 2 of the amps you mentioned and used them with the Tyler Acoustics Tylo Reference Monitors (89db eff, I think). To me, the Bryston seemed to not have enough power at times. The Plinius is another story, with its much greater power out... | |
| Cremona Auditor, Decappo Or Proac 1sc? I own the DeCapos and really like them. I had been on a speaker merry-go-round for a couple of years, but the DeCapos have stopped that! I power mine with 3.5 watt 2A3 SET amps and they play plenty loud in my listening room. A great thing about th... | |
