How good of a DAC is the Logitech Transporter
I will definitely say that the Transporter should not disappoint you, and yes it is close to some of the best transports available, as I've stated above in comparing it to the MBL 1621A transport. I do not have any anti-jitter devices and I am get... 
How good of a DAC is the Logitech Transporter
Hi Audiogalore,I have a Logitech Transporter and it has a good DAC, but not a great DAC. The sound may be described as a bit analytical as you've mentioned above. Although I have never listened to the Tri-Vista DAC, I doubt that the Logitech DAC w... 
Monitor with sub or Full Range Speakers
Hi Revrob,I think it's great that you found the sound that you've been looking for, within your budget. I've never heard of this company, but I did check out their website and I am familiar with some of the drivers that they use which I believe ar... 
Cat friendly or actually unfriendly speaker
I would recommend speakers with the drivers and grills high up on the cabinet, so that the Cat can't reach them with their claws while stretching on their hind legs.A slippery, automotive type finish is also better than a stained wood finish that ... 
Cat friendly or actually unfriendly speaker
Merlin VSM (used), may be a good choice in your price range.You may also want to buy your Cat; a scratching post, cat bed, or other Cat toys and put some Catnip around those items to draw her attention away from the speakers, and towards something...

Bookshelf Speakers with “Big” sound?
I wouldn't put monitors in a large living living room, but if you must, then the Usher Be-718 on stands will probably be up to the task.Rich 
Wadia 170i/DAC combo with AudioEngine speakers
Hi Lrdmax,I have the A5's and the A2's and I will tell you that the A5'S are able to resolve the difference's between different DAC's. While using the high quality Bitrates (Apple Loseless), I have compared the digital output jacks from my MacPro ... 
Subwoofers for Magnepan 20.1s?
Well, this is a tough one. I would also recommend 2 smaller subs for speed and balance in the room. The JL Audio f110 is -3db at 25HZ, so if you go the JL Audio route I think you would at least need the f112 which is -3db at 19HZ, since your Maggi... 
Help deciding on an amp.
I was curious to see what was going on with BEL (Brown Electronics Laboratories), so I did a search and I couldn't find a website on them, so I'm not sure what's going on with that Company. I did find some info below, however. http://forum.audiogo... 
Help deciding on an amp.
CORRECTION: I'm sorry, I meant to type the "BEL 1001 MKII Amp," not the 1000 as stated above.. 
Help deciding on an amp.

The speaker grade class A, B....
..."Any website tells us or audio review grade speaker from 1st to bottom line in the world. Price of speaker can not tell us performance of speaker."Yes, there are review sites and magazines; like "Stereophile" and "The Absolute Sound," that will... 
Benchmark DAC1 Pre - anybody heard a mod?
Oh, one more thing!True, sometimes, less "is" more. If a component or cable, is not transparent to the source and it gets in the way of the music, than in fact less is more. So, trust your ears, in your system, that's all that matters..
