| Marantz AV8003 vs 7005 processors sound quality Thanks for the advise Kal. I am not opposed to EQ at all as I have used DEQ2496 in another system. In my admittedly limited experience I have learned that although HT processing does improve many aspects, in the end it also affect dynamics and lif... | |
| Marantz AV8003 vs 7005 processors sound quality Thank you very much for the information. It definitely helps."Clear as a bell" is what I am looking for 8-)I have played with fuses in a past as well. Amazing how things like that affect the sound. | |
| Bryston BCD-1 to upgrade or not? See Bryston's J.Tanners response to this very question:http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.php?topic=59224.20 | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion I would like to dive into vinyl and since I don't have too many LPs the SL-1200 seems like a good and inexpensive choice.Considering it is a mechanical device I prefer to buy new however I see several versions available:1200 MkII1210 Mk51210 M5GWh... | |
| Krell FBP vs Parasound JC1 JC-1 are finicky about the AC power and speakers they drive. FPB is a safe bet. | |
| iPod to a Benchmark Media DAC-1 D/A Steve, would you I2S solution to Squeezebox be applicable to their Transporter | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx If you want something better than 300cx go with a bigger Krell, either 700cx or older 600C or 350Mc monoblocks. Anything else will be different at best.I would suggest staying with 300cx and trying a different preamp. KAV is ok but clearly a budge... | |
| Sample rate converter You can get a new one for $100. I used to have one, really good in digital domain and also very decent as a ADC and DAC. | |
| Is the Pass Labs X350.5 and X1 "warm"? I have tried the X1 preamp for few months and it was very good as far as soundstage, detail and low noise floor are concerned, harmonically things sounded right. Overall sound was neutral and refined and little dark but I would put it on par with ... | |
| Best Concert Film Rush R30. The first recording since vinyl days where you can hear Lifesons guitar in full glory. Clearly one of the best mixed Rush stuff, studio or live. | |
| All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla.. Njp: it was Krell KPS cdp, I don't remember the full model number. | |
| All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla.. I have heard just the EMM DCC2 dac section fed from a good cd player against VPI HRX turntable. It was THAT good. | |
| AKM dacs - which products use them ? Thanks for all the replies. There is no question there is more to a successfull design than just dac chips but I think they can provide a great head start. It seems to me that AKM really listened to what they were making and the $90 (EMU 0404) and... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? I found the DEQ2496 improves significantly with a dedicated power (I use 20A) or isolation transformer type conditioning (no filtering). It shows significant differences between various transports: cdp, dvd, pc. | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? I bought the DEQ as an experiment and tool more than actual system component. I tried it as just digital EQ and it worked great but i really had no use for it. As a DAC it sounded promising, it had a good presence but was a little strained.I recen... |
