Is Soliloquy out of business????
Good question. I sent Soliquy several emails via their website and did not receive any responses. I sent one final e-mail last week asking if they were still in business. I Finally received a response from the president of the company and his repl... 
Amplifier Hum
TDSPEP11, I just verified your AMP on the Classe website and it does have the 3rd connector which may be causing the ground loop problem that I refered to above. Again, try disconnecting your cable as a test. 
Amplifier Hum
Check the A/c plug on the back of our amp...if there's a 3rd prong on the unit, that is more than likely the cause of your problem. The extra conector will generate a 60 hz cyle humm which may be coming through you cable TV...try disconnecting you... 
JRDG Concerto + Amphion Xenon
Nice choice! ...another option could be the musical fidelity KW500. Keep in mind that the unit has a seperate power supply - in case space is an issueGood luck 
Best isolation device
I use the ISODES polymer feet with my gear(also have a bello rack). If I am not mistaken, the ISONodes were a recommended tweak by stereotimes were well receiive by various reviewers. The manufacture of the product is BrightstarGood luck 
Benchmark Dac1 + Rotel 1072
If I am not mistaken, Bel Canto recommends pairing the BC DAC with a DVD player. If you're considering the BC DAC ver 2, then pairing the unit with a CARY DVD or universal player would be a great choice. I have a modded Bel Canto DAC 1.1 connected... 
Benchmark Dac1 + Rotel 1072
I tink that would be a great combination. I Originally had the rotel RCD-1071 connected to a Bel Canto DAC and was very pleased with the results. The benchmark DAC has received great reviews, so your really cant go wrong. Just be sure to use use t... 
Power Cords: Signal vs. Shunyata
I would try to audition both cable before applying one to your setup. I believe SC has a 30 day money back guarantee so you really have nothing to loose. I have the Signal cable HC installed on my Denon transport, as well as a Bel Canto DAC 1.1 an... 
Denon 3910 with dac or not.
I cannot speak to the 3910, however, I do have a Bel Canto DAC ver 1.1 connected to my Denon 2800 MKII which I am very pleased with. The player was well reviewed for both DVD and redbook CD playback, however, in my experience( with the addition on... 
What is the best DAC to buy used in the $500 range
please disregard the subject line of my previous post "rotel rb-1080 hmmm" looks like the line was copied from a previous post. The line should have read Bel Canto Dac 1.1...thks 
What is the best DAC to buy used in the $500 range
I was in the same situation 6 months ago and my research lead me to the Bel Canto DAC rev 1.1 - the .1 is an power supply upgrade from the original. The BC DAC retails for 1300.00 and they can be acquired on A'gon used for 500-600 dollars. Do a go... 
Why does Denon 3910 default to PCM for sacds?
What is the optimal setting on the denon to achieve the best 2 channel sound for redbook CD's?. I am using the Denon 2800 MKII as both DVD and CD transport (which by the way is connected on BEl Canto Dac). The 2 digital setting options are 1- LPCM... 
Ground Loop Question
check to see if your receiver has 3prongs instead of 2. If so, the 3rd prong maybe pulling in the 60 cycle hum from your cable TV...regardless if any of your componens are switched on or off. As a test try uppluging your cable TV and see if the pr... 
Amplifier suggestions for EE Minimax/Soliloquy 6.3
Hello, I went through the same "amp" search dilema and the winner was a MArsh A400 amp. The Amp came highly recommended to me by soliloquy's president David Bearman. BTW... The AMP also won the TAS golden ear award. My current set up has the Solil... 
CD player - skips and static pops ... related?
Hello, my CD player suddenly began skipping and the fix was an optic lazer replacement. The "quick fix" for my particular situation was to elevate the front of the CD player approx 4-6 inches when inserting a CD. Once the CD was mounted and all tr...
