| I2S, S/PDIF, Toslink connections I2S is also used in the Wyred4sound dac2. | |
| KIND OF BLUE I am doing this from memory but I think it was mostly the hiss that stood out for me. I did notice the horns in a couple of spots on both recordings sounded a little brash, then clears up. If you don't mind the hiss, get the Columbia. It's much ch... | |
| MULTI-CH SACD'S on 2CH SOUND STRANGE? I notice the same thing. My Esoteric player is 2 channel only as well and I have observed the same thing when playing multichannel sacd's on my 2 channel player. Rock sacd's can be even worse. I much prefer the Sony Mastersound Redbook cd of Pink ... | |
| KIND OF BLUE I have the Japanese SACD recording. It is wonderful, a little less hiss than the Columbia. | |
| Odyssey audio Tempest vs Candela ? I own a Stratos Extreme +++ stereo amp and I use a tube preamp with it. I absolutely love the sound with the solid state amp mated with tubes. I use an Audible Illusions Modulus 3B tube preamp. I would go with the Candela simply because it uses tu... | |
| Magico Comparison I second the Rockport's. I have heard 4 different model Rockport's at Goodwins High End and I would die to get any one of them. | |
| KIND OF BLUE lp, cd or download? | |
| Odyssey Stratos Plus vs Parasound A21 for usher718 I extensively listened to the A21 when I was purchasing a new amp. I took a leap of faith and had Odyssey custom build my amp to exactly what I wanted. I took delivery of the Stratos amp 3 years ago and I have no desire to get something better. Th... | |
| Luxman MQ 88u Think ZU Speakers. 98-101db efficiency. | |
| dcs Puccini heats up CDs I doubt it's the drive itself. My Esoteric player has the VRDS Neo drive and my disks are always at room temp when they come out of the player. It is something else in the drive enclosure that is causing the heat. | |
| new cart 600.00 and under Not sure of the going price, but the Dynavector 20x cartridge is excellent on the Scout. I had one for quite a while. Decided to try something different after reading Art Dudley's review on the ZU-DL103 cartridge. I should not have sold the Dynave... | |
| Audible Illusions 3A vs Belles 28A I own both a Modulus 3A and a Modulus 3B preamp and I don't think you be gaining anything by going to the Belles. I think you will be losing. The Modulus 3 was rated one of the best preamps of all times. It also has an excellent phono preamp as we... | |
| DAC Impressions I have a Wyred4Sound Dac1. It is extremely revealing and musical, especially for the price. | |
| Heavy Duty Binding posts for Krell KSA 250 The WBT's come to mind but they are very expensive. Cardas makes them as well as a few other cable manufacturers. You will either need a tech to do it or be very handy with a soldering iron. | |
| WireWorld I have 2 Starlight 6 digital coax cables and a Starlight 6 usb cable. I agree, you get a lot out of their digital cables. Not sure about the 7 series, but I would think that they are up there with the best in that class.I am very satisfied with Wi... |
