| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 Just picked up a used Decware modded version of the DA3000. Jury is still out but I do like what I'm hearing. I like the NOS Dacs, but this unit with upsampling and Decware output stage takes this unit to a completely new level! Steve provides a s... | |
| Jena Labs cables simply amazing!! Yep completely agree! Awesome cables! Last stop on the merry-go-round! | |
| Pre-amp upgrade time? I second the Shiny Eyes 4P1L tube preamp from Radu Tarta! I had mine made with a custom TKD remote volume pot. Very reasonable in cost and very well made.http://http//www.hificollective.co.uk/potentiometers/tkd-2cp-2511-mc-motorised-potentiometer.... | |
| Do you find battery supplies inferior to well designed power supplies? I ave had a number of battery dacs and my transport is run off a battery. IMHO A Dac and amp on a battery is very quiet, but you loose the bloom that a well designed transformer supply can offer. At first it sounds great but after a while you real... | |
| These three cables, what would you choose? DH Labs | |
| The most transparent speaker cable Jena Labs you get what you pay for! | |
| Need recomendation for an IC to fill out and enrich the sound between amp and pre-amp. +1 for the Belden 8402 and 8412 IC's...made them myself and can't believe the improvement in sound quality. http://jeffsplace.me/wordpress/?p=7325 | |
| What transport should I get? I have had the pleasure of listening to the Sparkler Audio s303 ($1300.00) as a player and transport to a very highly modified dac. As a transport it sounds fantastic since it runs off a battery power supply. For about $400.00 more the S503 is a w... | |
| EAR vs Audio Note preamp Audio Note! I had a very upgraded and modified M3 at one time. Wish I still had it! AN gear makes music not just good sounds. Well worth the investment. | |
| Best interconnects used for around $500 +? DNM HFTN IC cables run about $500.00 new and to my ears are very hard to beat at 4x their cost. | |
| Toslink cables...do they make a difference? Lifatec are excellent optical cables and reasonable on the wallet.Glasslined is the way to go in optical cables if you are looking at something else. Happy hunting | |
| Looking for speakers under 30" tall. Decware DNA horn...great sounding and only 28" high. Plus you can have them custom finished. $1700.00 + shipping.Hope you find what your looking for. | |
| Considering buying a CD transport cooper52,For a great cd transport the 47 Labs Flatfish is a good choice. I have mine modified with a super clock and custom battery power supply. I have yet to hear anything better including computer audio. Unfortunately mine is in a box since I l... | |
| Improvement in CD player transports Never thought CD players worked well as transports. Bought a 47 Labs Flatfish Transport and had a guy modify it with a super clock, BG caps in the internal power supply, and runs off a custom battery and cap bank power supply. Cost a bit but was w... | |
| recommendations on a good used cd player for under $750 Look for an Oppo BDP 95, used they go from 600.00-800.00 on the used market. Run it in Pure Audio Mode with either Variable or Fixed Output. Sounds awesome and you can play concert BDVD through it with awesome sound quality!just my 2c |
