| looking for the best cd transport only, without dac How about this one from Woo Audio? http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=WAWTP1I have no personal experience with this unit but if I was looking this one looks interesting. | |
| Switching from solid state to tubes A VAC PA 100 offers 100 watts with taps for 2,4, and 8ohms. Used, should be around 2k. Sound is adaptable via choice of input and driver tubes. It doesn't run very hot either which is a bonus, not much more than a solid state amp. You can do b... | |
| Please Recommend Transport + DAC for $5K total Sony x77es manufactued around 1992 still going strong. It is used daily as a transport. The Sony was built at a time when quality really mattered. So for something newer as a transport, the Cambridge CXC has received positive recognition in the... | |
| Please Recommend Transport + DAC for $5K total An old top line Sony ES player (the ones that weigh 40 lbs), a Chord Hugo, and a Tara RSC digital cable. You should get by for around 2 grand. Then you've got 3 grand left for other stuff. | |
| Morrow Audio MA5 Interconnects. I have blue heavens in a box in my closet and Morrow MA3's connected in my system. That's not to say that the blue heaven is terrible, but that I prefer the Morrow cable.I also have an MA4 on order. | |
| Looking for a reasonably priced good quality interconnect I'm also a big fan of the Morrow MA3 interconnects. I use MA3's with the optional Eichman terminations between my Chord Hugo and VAC preamp. I have found nothing better in that application. I am also trying a pair of XLR MA3 between pre and pow... | |
| Benefits of an external DAC Chord Hugo kills my Oppo 105D. Oppo is only good for background music. I use a Tara RSC digital cable into the Hugo and Morrow MA3 Rca's to preamp. The Chord represents some original thinking and implementation from an established company. | |
| I need help, please? Listening to my system through music! I think you should look for a push pull tube integrated or separates with something north of 60 watts. | |
| Chord Dave Ricred, did you give the volume control stage sufficient time to break in like 50 plus hours or just perform a quick AB comparison? I would expect the Dave to sound very competitive direct.I would love to hear the Dave as I,m still in love with m... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers Just saying, I bet most speakers look better than the guy sitting in front of them. | |
| Curious about older "world class" D/A converters An original Chord Hugo used, or the new Hugo 2 would be an excellent choice. Price range depending on new or used 1200.00 to 2400.00. Hugo is battery powered so no need for a special power cord plus you get a headphone amp. Chord does not use o... | |
| Connecting a sub.to the CJ ET3 SE Monitor out is not attenuated by the volume control. You need another set of preamp output jacks or another alternative signal such as from the amp/speaker signal. | |
| Incredible deal on incredible amp The middle of summer is bad timing to sell a tube amp, especially an amp that doubles as a room heater. I can only use my BAT amp from the end of Nov. to beginning of April.You should pull the ad and relist in two months. | |
| Room treatments Correct orientation of tube traps is essential to proper spectral balance. In my room with my summer setup, the traps on the front wall corners have the dot of the reflective side pointing directly at the listening seat. The tube traps for the r... | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? Since 1995 only two pairs of speakers plus one pair of subs. B&W N802 and ESP Bodhran se speakers plus Gallo TR1d subs. For me buying speakers is the least amount of fun. I do like to listen to other designs but I'm satisfied with what I h... |
