| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? Well, I agree your room is certainly Dead!A dedicated room is a great thing to have, so you should take advantage of it. I'm kind of surprised that your speakers are sounding aggressive in that room with all that "deadness" around you. A couple of... | |
| Critical elements for hi-rez music streaming? Hey Roger and Richard,"So what about the influence of the router on the sound? Is bandwidth not an issue for streaming hi-rez audio files to the transporter? What about the optical drives in our PCs? Does it matter? Why does the same CD ripped and... | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? Thanks Dave,It sounds like you have a lovely room, however my question was directed towards the OP! (LOL) Sorry about the Confusion!Regards,Rich | |

| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? Tell us more about your room, besides the dimensions. Do you have wood floors, tile, area rugs, mirrors or windows, Ceiling Height?Does the room seem live or dead to you?Were you happy with your previous speakers in this room?I think we all need t... | |
| Critical elements for hi-rez music streaming? Don't worry, the good news is that the Transporter is very capable of competing with some of the best SOTA Transports available. I have compared it directly to an MBL 1621A Transport with very favorable results. The MBL was marginally better, but ... | |

| Benchmark DAC1 USB w/ Focal XS - observations Well..., after a little checking it seems that the Focal XS System does have a built in internal DAC, but you're certainly on the right track using the mini Analog inputs, with that great sounding Benchmark DAC.Enjoy,Rich | |
| Benchmark DAC1 USB w/ Focal XS - observations I think you're on the right track with the RCA to 1/8" mini plug into the Focal Speakers. I would be surprised if the Focal System had an internal DAC, but I'm not familair with them, and actually it wouldn't matter because by using the RCA mini, ... | |
| Jolida Hybrid vs. NAD or Rotel I've listened to all three of these companies offerings a few times each, however it was many years ago and in different systems.It is my opinion that the Jolida Hybrid although not the most powerful was the most musical of the three that you're l... | |
| Synergy OK... So, lets see... From the above posts it sounds like we can summarize Synergy to represent the following: 1) "Electrical Engineering Synergy" or the compatibility of loads and impedances and so forth...2) "Sonic Synergy" which complements the... | |
| Bryston 28 sst's vs Spectron Musician 3 SE ? Mribob Quotes: "I am looking to replace my MBL 8011's powering my MBL 111'es; looking for 'warmth' in the highs, and more punch in the base; with detail and openness...I feel my current amps are not quite powerful enough to fully open my low imped... | |

This is an easy one, Get the Bryston!I would consider Bryston Class Band Adcom Class C based on the Stereophile rating system.You may... |
