| Power conditioners around $500 Any thoughts on the PS Audio Dectet, or Power Center 3000? | |
| Power conditioners around $500 Blue Circle, eh? Never heard of it. I wonder if I will regret the lack of surge protection. | |
| Favorite international pressings Lots of US-distributed CDs are made in Mexico now. I have many US discs which seem fine or at least passable. But it's unpredictable. Last week I bought Donald Fagen's new CD, US version, and it's poor IMO, very muffled. Which is shocking actually... | |
| Favorite international pressings I agree, I'm roundly disappointed by US pressings. And I've had the same experience with UK discs (some better, some not). Actually, I know about Discogs but it seems that most everything is subsumed under "EU." I don't find many broken out by ind... | |
| Favorite international pressings Yes, I mean Redbooks, and I listen to all types of music. I have several from Harmonia Mundi, that's a great example. I even have two CDs from the mid-90s--a Marley CD and a Stone Roses CD--that were pressed in France and they sound better, of hig... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Well, I don't expect my system to levitate, I just expect it to sound as good as Morph or the newer Steely Dan's and remasters, and it doesn't. I assumed these problems happen during the manufacturing process, but I guess I don't know much about i... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Rebbi: I agree with your opinion on the quality of this recording. Fagen/Dan recordings are usually better than this. I'm wondering if anyone has heard the Japanese pressing? Lately I've been wondering about alternative pressings generally. I try ... | |
| Benefits of MF V-Link with a Mac-based system? Realremo, another question: You are using both Wireworld and Lifatec. Do you really find significant difference between the two? | |
| Benefits of MF V-Link with a Mac-based system? Thanks guys, I think I understand better now. I assumed initially that the V-Link was mostly being used by guys with no optical port on their computers, but then I saw posts from guys who were in fact using Macs with optical, but were using the V ... | |
| Musical Fidelity V-Link with Rega DAC REVIEW Hello, I am now embarking on conversion to a computer-based system. Like many, I am going to use a Mac (specifically an older Macbook, circa 2007, but eventually will put it all on a Mac Mini) feeding into a Rega DAC. I'm in the process of uploadi... | |
| Glass v.s. Plastic Toslink Actually, I have no experience at all with optical. Is 2m too much? Will there be a significant degradation from, say, 1m? | |
| Glass v.s. Plastic Toslink I'm in need of a reasonably priced toslink to run audio from my Macbook to DAC. Mrderrick, you recommend Sys Concept 1300 over the Silfex. This is the only reference I have found to Sys Concept. Silfex seems to be highly popular, but can anyone el... | |
| Buying used equipment in Japan Thanks, Hakuchosan, this is helpful advice. I am worried about availability and also price. So I suppose it is easy to find dealers in the major cities, but even used equipment is very expensive? (Yes, and I have also heard that it is difficult to... | |
| Cary XCiter DAC vs Rega DAC Yah, it is a tough choice. But I seem to be hearing that there is no significant quality difference. At least not $500 worth of difference. | |
| Cary XCiter DAC vs Rega DAC My CDP is an Arcam DV79. It sounds very good, but I used to keep both this and a Rega Saturn, so I know the difference in sound. I was thinking about getting another Saturn, but suddenly thought that the DAC might be a better alternative. Because ... |
