| SACD player with digital input? Confusing question. A sacd player won't convert your pcm from your Njoe to dsd, there's no reason to use the Njoe as a transport for the internal dac of another player, when you can just use the transport and dac inherent in the superior player an... | |
| SACD/DVD-A Anyone tried Yamaha or Integra? Funny, I gotten the very same type of responses from Krell and Bose owners.... :) | |
| SACD/DVD-A Anyone tried Yamaha or Integra? I have a friend who works in a dealership carrying Integra, claims the whole Integra line, every product, to be absolute mid-fi garbage. The SACD/DVDA player is, according to him, worse then the Denon 2900, which make is pretty bad indeed, as the ... | |
| von schweikert vr3 or magnepan 12qr What kind of music do you listen to? If you like soft, relaxing, low intensity music with simple yet abundant vocal work, played at low volumes, you probably really like your Maggies. If you listen to dynamic music with demanding and driving bass ... | |
| Floorstanders over Suspended Hardwood-Help Please I've tried the Vibrapods under my 125lb full range speakers (Von Schweikerts, as in the article), and it worked great on carpet while using a wood footing, but the pods didn't jive on hardwood floors, sounded awful actually. I'm currently using th... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-2's Von's produce real, deep, full range bass output and move gobs of air, something that 99.99% of all speakers can't come close to doing in a real room, and in turn it is something that 99.9% of audiophiles have never heard nor have had the frustrat... | |
| Do I need a DAC for my Marantz SA14 The Musical Fidelity A3 24 is very marginally better, and personally I liked the MF better overall compared to the Bel Canto, Chord and MSB dacs, fwiw. I sold the MF dac when I bought the Marants SA-14 as I felt I needed 100 more cd/sacds more the... | |
| NAD takes on the Krell Beast 1800 vs 6700?? What Drivel! I'm outta here, I have much better things to do then teach listening and apparently reading skills as well to children.... | |
| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? Abex: are you a spokesperson for the LeAmpII? Any affiliation with the company? In every post I've seen by you on 3 forums you've name dropped this amp constantly as a superior product, and seeing the amp doesn't exist yet, it's all rather absurd.... | |
| NAD takes on the Krell Beast 1800 vs 6700?? Sogood51, if all you have in response is irrational "junk talk," I guess that I have nothing more to say. It's your loss here, not mine, not David99's. No harm no foul, just trying to drop some knowledge, to use the parlance of our times, nothing ... | |
| NAD takes on the Krell Beast 1800 vs 6700?? Another Krell owner that can hear without having heard, Amazing!Transparency is NOT at all where the S200 is lacking, not in the least, it's actually one of its strong suits and it is a revealing piece. What the S-200 does wrong is on the minimal ... | |
| NAD takes on the Krell Beast 1800 vs 6700?? Wow, Krell owners sure seem to be a sensitive bunch, with really good imaginations, too, being able to declair their Krell superior to amps they've never even heard. That's pretty amazing, and I wish that I had that skill as it would save me a lot... | |
| Any one make a good sounding single disc SACD? Be more specific. What exactly is your budget, what does your system look like, what are your musical tastes. Without those questions answered noone can give you a useful response here.... | |
| WOW SACD machines really do need time to break in. Really? The "Every breathe you take" compilation SACD is pretty poor, me thinks, as compared to say Allison Krauss:Live, or even Beck and DSOTM, for that matter, just to stick to pop/rock stuff that destroys that Police album sonically. | |
| WOW SACD machines really do need time to break in. Seriously, folks, do you really think it fair to judge a format by one of its weakest software offereing? The Police albums? Come on! Great music, for sure, a good representation of what SACD is about, not even close.... |
