| 508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark? Fetch,Great info on getting my hands on some vinyl. You should write a vinyl buying guide...possibly in the "Stranger"?

| 508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark? Sorry Letch...I just realized I've been typing "Fetch" the whole time. Didn't mean anything by it, must be some Freudian slip. Maybe I should take it up with my analyst...possible post traumatic stress from when my dog ran away from home when I wa... | |

| 508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark? Rainchild,are you saying that the Mogamis are the same as the AU24? | |
| 508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark? Fetch,It is really too bad about JMC. The genius of mating waves of distortion to catchy old school rock riffs and dark lyrics somehow degenerated to just catchy pop tunes. What's a good cheap turntable? Gonna try the ers sheets before I give up o... | |
| Vienna Acoustics Bach in small room? Let me know how it goes. The bachs have been about the same price used for a couple years now. So I doubt you'd loose any money.good luck! | |
| 508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark? Smooth jazz may equal no headaches, but for me it would probably also equal no head, mostly because of the 9mm I'd to blow brains out if I had to listen to that for an hour.What exactly is ERS paper...I guess I'll do a search.Fetch, maybe that's t... | |
| 508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark? Yes, but there's quite a few things about high school many of us would like to forget. There's also quite a lot about high school that many of us can't remember, no matter how much Iron Maiden and Scorpions we listen to.I'll play around with polar... | |
| Vienna Acoustics Bach in small room? I think if you could get the Bachs 23inches away from the wall, they would be fine. I think they sound pretty good nice and up close. They are indeed smooth and full sounding. As long as the rest of the system is smooth and full bodied the Bachs w... | |
| Vienna Acoustics Bach in small room? Kray,I have to agree with Lpgal. I own a set of Bach's and they indeed have to be pulled out far into the room. The speakers are very placement sensitive. I have mine about 18inches to 22 inches away from the wall. I'll check again tonight. Placem... | |
| 508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark? Rainchild,Great info. I just do happen to have the Green Day stuff. But man, the Iron Maiden and Scorpions stuff I haven't heard or even thought about them since Junior High. I'll have to revisit a bit of my youth. The last few days I've found som... | |
| 508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark? Rainchild,I'll look into the Monarchy. I think you're right about the "warm" thing. You're exactly right about the sound I'm looking for- "smooth with attack". To be fair, I'm sure my current set-up is doing the best it can trying to make some rea... | |
| 508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark? I called meridian about the upgrade. The guy I talked admitted to not knowing too much about the upgrade other than the model I have can be upgraded to the 24 bit version. Does anyone know exactly what the upgrade includes. And how would an upgrad... | |
| 508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark? My Integrated doesn't take balanced connectors. Can you get and adapter? Or would that just defeat the purpose? Cytocycle? how did the sound change on your friend's Meridian? Better bass, smoother, more detail?-sean | |
| Best Integrated amp under 1k I'd try a linn majik. My uncle uses it and I'm always impressed by the smooth sound and its sense of pace. Only 30 watts but it drives my uncle's thiel .5 exceptionally well. You also have limitless options for upgrades. Under a thousand used is n... |
