Coax to Optical Converters Anygood?
Ginov,I found out about the Dual Core from US distributor Tim Ryan of Simplifi Audio. I had purchased a Dspeaker Antimode 8033s from him, and before the D/C came out he offered me one at a prerelease discount. The 8033s impressed me so much that I... 
Coax to Optical Converters Anygood?
Hi Ginov,Thank you for the lead on the Behringer SRC 2496. I looked into buying one, but most dealers in the states are sold out. The new shipment should arrive sometime in the next couple of months, so maybe then. I received my Dual Core on July ... 
Class D amps
Gents,Over on Audio Circle there are many threads abut Ncore amps. Everybody so far who has listened to them has either ordered or will order the modules in the future. It's a great group of DIY'ers and music Nthusiasts.ChrisJust offering...please... 
Abbingdon Music Research gold fuses ???
Audiofun hit the nail on the head about the AMR fuses. I put the AMR fuses in my amp and noticed a considerable improvement in sound quality and tonal texture. As "boutique" fuses go the AMR's are a steel at their price point. I think I paid in th... 
DACT stepped vs. TKD continuous attenuator?
I had them both in my Audio Note Kits M3 Pre amp. I felt the Dact was the better choice for sound quality. If you are still looking for a very good attenuator (bested the Dact IMHO) look at the Acoustic Dimension 41 stepped Attenuator. The price w... 
Downward facing subwoofer on carpet, bad idea?
First off your Snell K2's are awesome sounding 2 ways. Detailed, wide soundstage, speedy, dynamic and well controlled tight bass. Back in the mid 90's I sooo wanted to purchse them, but was putting the ex through college and....So onto the amp. Yo... 
natural sounding CD player or transport
47 Labs Flatfish Transport :-) Very natural sounding and takes a huge step forward on a battery power supply. 
integrated amp suggestions solid state
I have used and love the ATC SIA2-150. 150 watts where the first 15 are in class A and then moves into class A/B if more power is needed. The ATC has the rich full bodied sound of class A with the nuts of very well designed class A/B. I preferred ... 
2 Subs
I'm using a DSpeaker Antimode 8033s ($500.00) on my two subs and have the best bass I have ever heard. A lot has been written about the Antimode if you do a search you will find all the info you need. A good thing about the Antimode is that sub pl... 
Need Advise for open sounding monitors
Look into Shelby+Kroll monitors and the matching sub. I have had mine for about 10 months and am amazed at how full, deep, and wide the soundstage is. Imaging is spot on and not to sound cliche but the S/K's do deliver the "you are there" sound in... 
Granite stands for speakers experiment

DNM Stereo speaker cables-experiences?
I have been using the DNM Stereo cables and HFTN IC's for sometime now. They replaced Crimson and Audio Consulting Solid Silver and Cryoed speaker wires. Everything that Mapman and Gnobber (cool moniker BTW) has written is spot on. Top to bottom c...
