MSB Technology DAC Owners (Question)
@dpt - I do have a preamp in the chain as I listen to vinyl as well.  Even with the preamp in the chain the Discrete will act the same as you state, show a quick view of the sample rate and then switches back the level.   I did not compare not tr...

I have a MSB discrete Dac paired with a Lumia U2 via USB -> MSB Pro ISL. When playback is started the MSB DAC will show - USB and the sample rate, if I pause the track, the MSB displays the --K as you describe.  This is showing the change from... 
Turntable set-up recommendation in Southeast Florida
Thank you  
Anyone used VS-110 with KT120 for extended period?
I own a VS-110 and replaced the 6550's with KT-120's 6 month's ago. I have had no problems with about 400 hours on the KT-120's. My experience with sonic improvements are the same as Bifwynne. I would heartily agree that you move to the KT-120's. 
Has any used the HDMI output on a Mac Mini for....
I used the HDMI output from the Mac Mini to my Rotel RSP1570 for a few months. It worked with no problems, the fidelity was what I would expect from the Rotel. I was able to upsample with no problem. I used this setup after I sold my ARC DAC8 and ... 
ARC VS-115 Amp with new KT-120 Tubes
Bifwynne, I spoke to Audio Research before I purchased the KT-120's to see if it was ok to drop them into the VS-110. They said that they had not tested it with older equipment so I decided to buy them and have my dealer make sure everything was o... 
ARC VS-115 Amp with new KT-120 Tubes
Byfwnne, I just replaced the 6550's in my arc VS-110 with KT-120's from Upscale Audio as well.  I only have 20 hrs on the tubes so far I am impressed. I had the unit checked by my dealer with the new tubes and he recommends running them at a lower... 
Audio Research VS-115 vs Ref110
Cmalak, thanks for the response, my dealer has the Ref110 on hand but not the VS-115. The response from your dealer is close to what mine said as well. Although I like my dealer and trust him for the most part, he is still in business to make mone... 
Benz Ace S H or Dyna DV-20x2H
I have a Benz Wood S medium output which I feel has a great soundstage, tracks very well and has a sweet sounding midrange. I had this cartridge on a Rega P3-24 and now on a TW-Acustic Raven One. This is my second Benz cartridge and would recommen... 
Budget Phono Amp / Stage Recommendation?
I would recommend the Clearaudio Nano, which I used for 2 years with a Rega p3-24 and a Benz MC20E2 cartridge. Sounded great. It goes for $350 retail, but look for it used you should be able to get it for close to your $200. Read the reviews as we... 
Rega P9 Feet on a P3-24
When I had my p3-24, I found that adding an isolation base was a very large improvement. I used the Ginko platform, which was reasonable cost. The SRA equipment is very good as well. I have upgraded to a TW-Acustic Raven one which come with Stillp... 
Seeking Turntable Advice
I agree with Cio52 that Vinyl is a great value. I would also say with a good table in your price range, the sound will either rival of exceed your CD7. Until my table & Phono stage upgrade, I had a Rega P3-24 with the TT-PSU and used a Clearau... 
Vandersteen Quatro Signature with Vandy dual subs?
Chad,I have Vandersteen Quatro's and a single JLf113 sub. For 2 channel music I use the the Quatro's without the JL. I do not feel that they need any additional base support in either extension or volume.I use the JL for home theater. I bypass the...
