| Good amp match for vinatge Vandersteen 2C's? I am driving my Vandersteen 2ce's in my secondary system with a Classe 15 power amp and an Audible Illusions Modulus 3 tube preamp. It sounds sublime | |
| Pre: Audible Illusions vs Joule-Electra vs ARC? I am the proud owner of both a Modulus 3 and 3A in my 2 systems. The Modulus preamp is very rich sounding, offers deep bass, smooth mids and pristine highs. They are best used with 6h23neb tubes as it seems to bring out the best in them. AI's cust... | |
| Help with fatiguing sound in my PC system I am running a Asus notebook running Windows 7 64bit and J Rivers 17. The usb output from the notebook goes to a Musical Fidelity V-Link via a Wireworld Starlight usb cable and a Wireworld Starlight coax cable from the V-Link to a Wyred Dac 1. The... | |
| vibration counter weight What about a piece of black granite? I use it on top of my Sony DVP999ES sacd player in my secondary system and it smoothed out the sound considerably. | |
| Review: Odyssey Audio Stratos Amplifier I own a stereo Stratos with the upgraded Kismet roards, Groneberg wireing, dual power transformers and 180,000uf of capacatance and the WBT binding posts. I have had this in my system for 3 years and to this day I am still amazed at how incredible... | |
| Best DAC for $500 I agree with Gumbydammit. The Emotiva is an excellent dac with 6 digital inputs. Buy that for 249.00 and add a Musical Fidelity V-Link for around 90 from Amazon and you will have one heck of a digital set up. You will be able to decode all files o... | |
| Questions about Musical Fidelity V-Link USB/SPDIF The V Link brought the XDA-1 to the next level. Music sounded much more relaxed and I could listen for many hours at a time. Bass was good, mids and highs were smooth. I recently moved up to the Wyred4Sound DAC1 and using in conjunction with the V... | |
| VTI audio rack, any good? I bought a Salamander Synergy S40 s shelf audio rack with a 7th shelf that pulls out for my laptop. I also added the perforated metal sides and the rack looks stunning in my living room. It is extremely well made and very sturdy. The shelf spacing... | |

| Marantz 2245 & Rega Brio It sounds like you may have a cold solder connection or two on the Marantz. I had the same problem with a Classe cap150 integrated amp. I had a tech go over all the soldered connections and all was fine after that. | |
| Best audio purchase of 2011 Bought an Emotiva DAC and Musical Fidelity V-Link usb/spdif converter. Replaced the bulk of my interconnects with Groneberg Quattro Reference cables and upgraded my speaker cables to Groneberg Quattreo Reference as well. Just ordered a new Salaman... | |
| Any Caviar Fans Here? what does this have to do with audio? | |
| What is the best DAC under $500? Right now you can get the Emotiva dac on closeout for 250.00 At that price, it's a steal. I am using one in conjunction with a Musical Fidelity V-Link and couldn't be happier. The dac offers a lot of bang for the buck and is very musical. It is no... | |
| What did you get for Christmas? My wonderful wife gave me a complete Groneberg Cable set consisting of 2 one meter pairs of interconnects, a 1.5 meter pair of interconnects, and a pair of 20 foot speaker cables. I am in audio heaven. |
