| Hope for Pearl Jam's Remastered Vs. and Vitalogy? I think Vitalogy was one of the worst sounding cd's ever released.. | |
| What are your favorite phono cartridges? using a Shelter Harmony right now. Love it. When I get a second arm, I'm trying a Koetsu "stone" body cart of some flavor. | |
| What is my next step to a better sound ? 05-24-11: KnghifiAs long as the buffer in the DAC is large enough, it should not matter.as long as the buffer is big enough which usually isn't the case with most DAC's. Memory "buffered" transports do make a difference... | |
| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? My test for multi channel versus two channel... What would the band playing live do ? I bet it's two channel ! Save the multi channel for movie soundtracks... | |
| Mark Levinson No. 36 DAC & High Resolution Files Mark Levinson isn't what it used to be...Bring back Madrigal Labs ! | |
| What is my next step to a better sound ? Your pre-amp is definately not the problem. I use a 380S with Watt/Puppy 8's and Pass Labs XA-100.5 amps. Your digital source is probably the problem. If you want a great balanced sounding system for digital for a resonable cost, PS Audio Perfect ... | |

Any higher resolution files will be truncated abrubtly and I would expect to not sound very good.From the manual:All digital filtering and ... | |
| A $300-$400 turntable tweak Manitunc,I agree, magnetic bearing's like yours and on Clearaudio's bigger CMB tables are unaffected by the additional weight. | |

| LP Deadwax marking guide/database Thanks Sonofjim...Helpful info. | |
| Do Kimber KCAG's sound bright???? Further I would add that I also use pure silver speaker cables (Siltech LS-180). I feel that those who experience the tonal balance turning bright when using silver cables in their system are experiencing impedance resistence issues related to dif... | |
