| boulder and d'agostino Several years ago I had the Boulder 1000 series preamp (the one with Dac 1012 or 1018 I think) paired with a 1060 amp and it was a great. I started venturing into home theater (custom 5.1 surround room, etc) and (learned some lessons) went to Kre... | |
| boulder and d'agostino Maybe it will become clearer after they get back with me. Sorry for the confusion no I contacted Boulder who suggested I speak with the dealers in the area about the specifics of the gear(I had previously had the 1018 preamp and was considering ei... | |
| Naim Speakers This is a second system, so I am considering all naim from source to speaker. I had reservations about the naim power amps with the wilson speakers (which I like) being too hard to drive. I thought the synergy of the naim speakers with the naim el... | |
| Upgrade order suggestion preamp vs speakers I have placed an order for the speakers. I plan to be impressed and will quit thinking about a preamp for awhile.Thanks for sharing your thoughts/experiences. | |
| Upgrade order suggestion preamp vs speakers might have guessed that. although they say the heart of the system is in the preamp. The ARC preamp was always good in my opinion but now I felt it was out classed by the speakers and the amp. I appreciate the suggestions, I will ponder it some mo... | |
| Any Boulder pre/power amp users here? have the 1060 and recently went from harmonic tech speaker cables up to purist venustas which mates well with the 1060 and was a significant improvement, in fact i am considering changing my kimber select interconnects to purist | |

I have also done a good bit of experimenting with hard disk servers connected to DACs (mine is the musical fidelity trivista). There are a few things which experim... | |
| ARC VTM200 Question Problem was blown fuse on input board (that didn't 'look' like it was blown).Thanks for the suggestionsAppreciate Leonard's help from ARC | |
| DAC on Universal player I needed an outboard dac for other reasons and ended up with the MF Trivista 21. I also wanted to delve into hi rez digital and have the Marantz 8400 (decent redbook playback but not at the same level as my Naim CD5) therefore I connected it as a ... | |
| Best upper end CD player with digital inputs How about the musical fidelity trivista SACD? | |
| Best upper end CD player with digital inputs sounds like a lot of votes for the opusIt appears that is is only spdif rca for the inputI'm not certain if that can be converted from xlr via and adaptor. not to mention that I am running the cable a good distance from the server upstairs to the ... | |
| Hard Disk Playback Systems To address the issue of jitter it would seem that the external DAC would need a way to sync to the soundcard "clock". Is this done through the SPDIF connection? | |
| Hard Disk Playback Systems Given some of the inherent limitations listed above what would you folks recommend as an "upper limit" on what would be resonable to spend on a DAC. i.e. it seems silly to buy a Mark Levinson reference DAC to connect to a $200 soundblaster soundca... | |
| Will ARC VT-100 Mk. II drive ProAc 3.8's. I have a chord 600 (130 wpc) and when I am rockin out I feel as though I need more power for my 3.8s -- I guess you can't have TOO much power. |
