| A new phono stage Thanks to all here for sharing. Also for inputs on phono stages I had not considered - you have some great ideas.I have closure now, because an EAR 834P became available yesterday, in the version I wanted (no volume or mc transformers, seldom seen... | |
| Moray James Digital Coax Brian,I am currently in the market for a digital cable for my upgraded Melior. Would you mind sharing other digital cables you used to compare with MJ? John Wright recommended the MJ to me, too. So far my favorite is PAD Dominus, have not listened... | |
| Forth Order Noise Shaping?......... Bombaywalla,Are you a digital engineer? Is it accurate than that Nyquist converters are more time / phase accurate when compared with over-sampled DACs, all else being equal? In any case, yours was one of the most lucid, informed answers I have re... | |
| What IEC for Counterpoint SA-220 Power Amp? I just completed the mod you are considering on my Counterpoint SA-20, with very positive results. The piece I used was from Mouser (mouser.com), part number 161-0707-1, manufactured by Kobiconn, price $0.74. I don't know if this is "the best". It... | |
| What digital evolution? Redkiwi - just reread your post, and I actually concur with your version of the future of digital media, being downloaded in digital format, via broadband, to a high-end device (a type of specialized media PC). Many of my 20-something friends with... | |
| What digital evolution? Based upon some responses, my words must be as clear as mud... Regrets on my ambiguity.Redkiwi- Absolutely no offense taken. Don't know why my post came across as taking offense, but none taken. I refer to Moore's Law (processor power doubling eve... | |
| What digital evolution? Redkiwi - I mentioned Moore's Law only because CDPs and DACs are most often mentioned as having very short product life-cycles compared to other gear due to evoloving technology. Since I just acquired a DAC, I was wondering what specifically is ch... | |
| What digital evolution? UncleJeff,Those are my sentiments, too. Maybe I'm too cynical, but my question remains: are there really improvements being developed so quickly in digital playback technology that the life cycle of CD players and DACs is like a PC (say 18 - 24 mo... | |
| Reconciling analog and digital playback Is it really accurate that digital processing technology is evoloving (depreciating) quickly? The economics of technology don't seem to support this.Unlike computer hardware which benefits from Moore's Law, and can therefore process more software ... | |
| Reconciling analog and digital playback Consensus is the last thing I expected to encounter in this forum, but the verdict seems to be that the gap between analog and digital is fundamental and part of our landscape. Your input reinforced my feeling. Thanks to the more experienced digit... | |
| Counterpoint SA-5000 or First Sound Presence Pre Bigkidz, please let us know the results of your decision. I listen to a Counterpoint SA-5.1, extensively modified by AVA. I really enjoy the sound. The First Sound was on my short list of preamps when I upgraded last year, and costs similar to my ... | |
| Question for Micro Seiki experts Good suggestion, psychicanimal. Just posted. | |
| Amp recommendation for Alon Circe? Rcprince - I have read (but unfortunately not auditioned) that the ML-1 is sonically superior to the M1.1, although the differences are subtle (Soundstage review), and naturally dependent upon the load applied. My initial thought was to find a ML-... | |
| Amp recommendation for Alon Circe? Kevinkwann - The Lamms have an extraordinary reputation, but where I live (Seattle), there are no Lamm dealers to arrange an audition. No doubt the Lamm M1.1 (like many other power amps) can drive my Circes satisfactorily. And I value all of the L... | |
| Amp recommendation for Alon Circe? Thank you all for sharing your experiences. One thing I should have mentioned in my original post is that I intend to go with tubes, or possibly another hybrid amp because the Circes were designed with them in mind.Awdeeofyle - Thank you for the s... |
