levinson 436monos vs. krell mcx 350monos
Levinson's lack of support and service are now legendary. It would be hard to find worse. They will charge you about $1200.00 on the average before they will even agree to service your equipment. And how about this for prompt service time? One yea... 
Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others
So are you listening to the PS Audio Perfect Wave digital also? It was mentioned in your orginal thread. 
Perfect Wave Owners...Which UPnP Server for Bridge
Hi,I may be in the same situation. What is a UPnP NAS vs a NAS? Have you heard what PS Audio is going to ask for the bridge and Perfect Wave Library gizmos? Also, I thought Paul had made a couple of recommendations a while back in a newsletter?How... 
the oppo 83 special edition as a transport
The hardness in mine bothered me at first. It did take a long time to go away. I don't know how many hours, but over 300. I continually played Purist Audio's Break In CD.I also replaced the HDMI Cable with the PS Audio Silver HDMI. I don't hear an... 
the oppo 83 special edition as a transport
My advice, sell the PS Audio transport and DAC and move on. From your posts, I don't think their sound suits your ear and I don't believe you'll ever be satisfied with either piece. (Not a bad thing, not every piece of equipment is everyones cup o... 
Jethro Tull questions...
It is the shame one can't return a disc because it is unplayable because of poor sound quality. That would be the only way that the record companies would get the message to not produce junk. I agree about Springsteen too. There are artists whose ... 
Jethro Tull questions...
I have now purchased the original CD for Aqualung and the new "remastered CD" and I've never been so disappointed. While I really enjoy the music, (it is one of my favorite albums) these recordings are abominations! I've rarely heard such a compre... 
Just got the PS Audio Perfectwav DAC -- Amazing
Hey 2chnlben,You are so right. I listend to a trio of brothers play an unamplified musical event, which featured guitars, a violins, a double bass, a mandolin and of course vocals this weekend. It was in a medium sized stage (50 people) in a local... 
Auralex SonoSuede HD 1212 Home Sound Absorption Pa
I have not tried these, but I've had excellent results with all other Auralex products I've used. Plus if you send them a drawing and measurements of your room, (they have a special form for this on their website), they will give their acoustic te... 
Just got the PS Audio Perfectwav DAC -- Amazing
I'm surprised your having isssues with the sound of the PWT/PWD combo. I've been pleased before it broke in and since breaking in found it to surpass my older, but very respectable, Levinson Reference 30.6 DAC and 31.5 transport. Right away, the P... 
Well recorded records ... what are your picks?
The Decemberists- The CD- The Crane WifeExcellent sound, music, and vocals. 
Krell KSA 300S or FPB 300?
A cap replacement at Krell could cost up to $1500.00 including shipping. I've seen a video on how to replace the caps in KSA 250s on the internet and I believe it is on U-Tube. A Google search should bring this up. We have a great tech service in ... 
Krell KSA 300S or FPB 300?
Skip,I'm really enjoying the addition to my system (Legacy Helix, PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC and transport, ARC Ref 3. See my system if interested.)of 1 pair of MDA-300s and 2 KSA-250s. I've listened to KSA 250s at a friends house for years. They p... 
Dedicated lines- need break in?
Well, Schipo, the devi's advocate, (which I enjoy playing too from time to time.) I really didn't want to define all the ways the above system could improve over a couple of weeks. But from lots of experience with this phenomena with my own person... 
Dedicated lines- need break in?
Yes, your new lines will have to break in. They will sound good right from the start, but will sweeten after a couple of weeks. It is hard to tell though, since it is usually hard to "switch" back to the old hook up system.
