| Simple Question. Simple Answer? Trelja, I agree with you very much and appreciate your turning us on to some of these very value oriented methods to enhancing music reproduction. Fortunately, a wealth of information has arisen in many of the DIY areas, not just cables. Moreover,... | |
| Help choosing digital front end. Carl, Well I brilliantly found the info that I wanted at that site. I was interested in their DVD player; it's the VT-960. Well, I'm not particularly interested in that unit. However, the CD55 is most intriguing. | |
| Help choosing digital front end. Hi Carl, the only url for RA that I've found is www.resolutionaudio.com/index.html. The bulk of info is on the 55 as Mezmo states. There's also manuals for the 50 and 55 and User Guides for the VT-960 and D-92. My impression was that RA had more p... | |
| Help choosing digital front end. Carl, I always felt that your comments on the RA CDP were very good. There's nothing wrong IMO with recommending a unit that one truly enjoys. I've not heard either the 50 or 55 yet. One thing I do wonder is that I understand RA makes other electr... | |
| Simple Question. Simple Answer? Dekay, oh yeah this sounds all so simple! First, you oughta stay away from sharp objects. ;) I really don't understand why you went through all of these contortions; you should have just left the flat metal jumper on. Nevertheles, I know that the ... | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? Ferrari: I was kidding about "members." I really think we don't see enough humor around here. | |
| Power of amp. Yup, Dekay is right, but so was I. And we really enjoy the frustrating aspects! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! | |
| Bel Canto Dac-1 v. any Wadia Dac Any one Msw26: One thing should be very clear, not all DACs sound the same. That's something you should glean from all of the threads on DACs. Some people love each of the DACs you mentioned, as they have their own sonic signature. This is a really diffic... | |
| Power of amp. I wouldn't agree with that idea at all. The only thing that comes to mind is that if you have excess amp power, then you will have a greater dynamic range. But there are so many factors that could trash that notion too, I feel. I've listed to too ... | |
| Options besides the PS Audio Powerplants The responses definitely argue in favor of try before you buy. I do not use any power conditioning device... yet. | |
| CD and Speakers for a Jolida 302? Check out the Sep/Oct edition of listener magazine where they cover a bunch of speakers in the $600 price range, all efficient, and would work fine with your tube amp. I'm a little puzzled by your system building approach, buying the amp first. Us... | |
| integrated tube amp for $1000.00 clams Hmmmmm... Well I think some of the logic is faulty, since I do not find the Paradigm studio/ 100 to be revealing at all. What good electronics reveal to me about that speaker is how poor a transducer it is. So, I'd recommend finding better speaker... | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? Wow!! Stats are a clear winner, and I agree with many of those mentioned. From what I see here and in no particular order, I agree with Quad ESL 57, Rogers LS3/5A, certain Apogees, certain MLs, Dahlquist DQ-10, Vandersteen 5, the original large Ma... | |
| speaker degradation question John_l, I'm kinda surprised that you find the Sony DVD just OK on CDs. I've heard (read) that it does quite well as a CD transport. But then I did have a Sonographe pre many years ago and loved it. The Muse 8 and 9 are great for CD and DVDs. | |
| Bel Canto Dac-1 v. any Wadia Dac Any one Dolphin, How about telling us about the Muse 9S? I'm very interested in your comments. Please share your system and music preferences. Thanks so much. |
