| Magico vs the world I moved from a set of B&W 803D3 to S3mkII last year and I never looked back. I was very happy with my 803s but after listening to the S3s several times (my dealer was kind enough to let me bring CDs and LPs for a few listening sessions with a ... | |
| Replacement for Kimber 8TC cables I am very biased, as all of my cables are Kimber but a few years ago I moved from the 8TCs to Bifocal XL and loved the upgrade. If you don’t need biwiring, the Monocles would be fantastic. I just now upgraded from the Bifocals to their new Carbon ... | |
| Sale on Acoustic Sounds Blue Note 45's They also offered several SACDs that were very handsomely priced. Since I enjoy a good SACD, I picked several of those. | |
| Speaker-ish related question (Crates) Ah, that's a great idea millercarbon, thank you! | |
| PASS LABS X150.8 AMP SUFFICIENT FOR B&W 803 D3s? @liszt458 out of curiosity, did you get the x150? I am considering the 250 but the 150 would fit better in my rack. | |
| Playing SACDs @melm Well, it is going to take me some time to rip through my SACD collection but I am making progress, 10 done, 100 plus to go... :) thank you again for reminding me of the process! | |
| Playing SACDs @elevick, yes, I can play the CD stereo component of the hybrid SACD through the DAC but after testing and doing multiple A/B comparisons, I find that I ripped red book CD sounds better when ripped and then played through my Aurender—Hugo. My inte... | |
| Playing SACDs @melm, well I am officially an idiot. I just remembered that I never sold the old 103 the 203 replaced, LOL. I am now reading the posts on how to rip SACDs. Good weekend project! | |
| Playing SACDs @melm I have thought about doing that several times... I am technology included (SW engineer) but for some reason I have never gone that route. Perhaps I need time to justify buying the HW just for that. Anyways, I have a UDP-203. I will check how... | |
| Playing SACDs @mahler123, I emailed GeerFab this morning asking about its price. We will see :-) | |
| Playing SACDs @lalitk, very interesting! Will check it out, thank you for the suggestion. | |
| So just how much vinyl do YOU own? Wow, I thought I had an issue with vinyl but I feel happy to read that I am not alone! I am merely under 800 records, plus about the same amount in CDs although the CDs I mainly play from an Aurender server, not directly.I know it is not a contest... | |
| Audio Desk Ultrasonic Record Cleaner Onwers? @seasoned "I do not use the drying cycle for that reason; instead I shut the machine off once the cavitation is finished, then rinse the record in a Spin Clean, then dry with a vacuum machine"Very interesting and it makes total sense to me. I will... | |
| Audio Desk Ultrasonic Record Cleaner Onwers? @theo : "In relation of the cost of the machine versus my record collection it’s a small investment change every hundred"Agreed. I was testing the waters so to speak. Now that I know how dirty it gets with 150, I will do 100 and change fluid and i... |
