| Do I need a power cable - if so what brand? You guys need to be more like me. Gunbei,I wanna be like you. | |
| what do I change or upgrade? Assuming no distortion from clipping. A three way generally will get you better midrange clarity. As you turn it up the room reflected energy plays a greater role - the ideal driver size for midrange is around 3 inches or so. The problem with an 8... | |
| Wadia 170i and Benchmark Dac1 - anyone try it? I have no experience with Wadia 170i but if your Benchmark DAC1 does its job in eliminating interface jitter then the digital source will not affect the sound. Digital is Digital and provided the source reads the bits correctly then it should soun... | |
| Help narrow my speaker search. $2500-$3500 used. Well Said Jaybo - for the money I agree. | |
| 2 subs? This problem might be the suckout at 130 Hz to 170 HZ . This is probably due to the tuned pipe - 150 Hz is around 8 feet - so ceiling height may play a big role in the sound (does it excite the ceiling room mode for a boost or not) Since the pipe... | |
| Voltage Regulator APC H15 new around $450 or Rotel RLC-1040 $500 (if you want an audiophile branded product) | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference? Shadorne - I was under impression that we discuss sonic differences of different transports with the same DAC and not comparing DAC with stand alone CDP.That was the way I understood it too. It doesn't matter anyway as I am quite happy if we all u... | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference? He claims that the only way to get real piano sound is to use headphones because crossover does similar thing. You can use active speakers to eliminate that issue, which John Siau should be aware of. One of his customers bought 7 Benchmark DAC1's... | |
| Help narrow my speaker search. $2500-$3500 used. The Vienna Acoustics Beethoven should do the trick to get rid of any midrange issue. | |
| Help narrow my speaker search. $2500-$3500 used. I'd go with Dunalvy SC IVa's. What? The less than 44" tall junior version? | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference? Shadorne, you are wrong in regards to your Jitter reduction theory, If the DAC is excellent at jitter rejection then it won't make a difference (one jitter immune input versus another should sound the same as it is all just bits). " Doug,If you r... | |
| Processor as a DAC for music? I appreciate the feedback however I was looking at it from the standpoint that many of the more expensive HT pre/pro had better two channel preamps in the $500-1000 used range than the same price point in something that was 2 channel only. Good t... | |
| 2 subs? That is odd. Try adjusting the placement - you must have a nasty room modal suckout. How about PHASE - do you have left right or subwoofer out of PHASE!!!!Those speaker drivers are a favorite for use in bass guitar amps and you have a BIG MAC driv... | |
| What the benifit of using a separate dac? This is the way I would approach it. Look for two or three DAC's with high jitter immunity first and foremost. Those that have a few years under their belts (not just a recent one with a rave review but DAC's with many happy users and a resale val... | |
| Bryston BCD-1 to upgrade or not? Honestly, I don't think you can find out without trying - another persons experience may not match yours. Who knows how your Bryston handles the interface jitter from your Rotel with your speakers/system - is it even audible - will the BCD-1 do be... |
