| choose a DAC to complete my system Huge +1 for Onhwy61. Your photos indicate possible major problems with speaker setup and room placement. There seems to be a large difference in the space behind your left vs.right speaker, with the right in front of a large void under a staircase... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Hifi Will,Here's hoping that you will soon kick "Big C's" ass and be able to complete your order for those MMMicros. | |
| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? You might give consideration to a used pair of Triangle Cometes. | |
| a crazy free audiophile tweak TLS49, ROFL...That's just waaay too funny.Hope my wife doesn't see those, as she'll probably try to get them for my birthday. Last year it was this neatly wrapped present of river rocks after she saw the Machina Dynamica pebbles ads and laughed he... | |

| Arcam, Cambridge Audio or Sony: Most musical?? Aloha, SunnyJim.I've owned both the Arcam CD-33 and Ayre CX-7e MP. Both are quality, highly musical sources, but the Ayre is in a different league. If you have an extensive SACD collection, I would suggest the Arcam CD-37 that now supports SACD, o... | |
| Nad C565BEE vs. Arcam CD23? As you probably know, the Arcam CD23T FMJ is one of the last and best Ring DAC models that Arcam designed. Later models used Wolfson DACs for cost savings and then were very questionably touted as "improved". Since you seem to like this component ... | |
| RCA to balanced If your BAT preamp has available RCA inputs, use them. There is most likely no SQ advantage from using the balanced XLR input with an unbalanced source. There is a slight, insignificant increase in gain via XLR, but your signal will also negotiate... | |
| How do I use dedicated storage and iTunes? +1 Yiorys. You can demonstrate this to yourself by setting up a subfolder on your 1TB backup drive and designating it within iTunes preferences as above. | |
| USB to S/PDIF: Stello U3 You've properly also directed this qn to the April Music site. If you already own both, no harm in trying it, and I suspect that the Stello might be able to conform its output to 24/96. Interesting experiment to see how an asynchronous USB-S/PDIF ... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Kevm2,You may want to confirm, but I think the stands are included in purchase price. | |
| Speakers than can run 2 different amps ...and it's not just gain matching that you must be concerned with. There can be issues with impedance matching, crossovers, etc, etc. Please check out some of the other Agon threads on bi-amping before you jump in.Here's a discussion on why you m... | |
| Forced to Downsize Good luck with the move. Sure hope you'll be able to keep your Quads. | |
| Another cheater plug thread After having followed the expert comments on these threads, but without wading much further into the murky swamp of perceived risks and high-consequence/low-probability events (where I misspent way too much of my life), just an added thought or tw... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Unoear,I recall from conversations with Malmgren at Newport 2011 that the MMMicro One is the first EA speaker with overseas mfr. I understand all other models to be designed and mfr'ed in the states. Design, control and distribution for MMMicro On... |
