| What is best VTA for Clearaudio Maestro Cartridge? I've own this exact setup for about 3yrs and have been fairly happy with it but am now looking to change the cartridge. Has anyone tried the Soundsmith Zephyer Moving Iron Cart? Looks like it's designed to go with the VPI Arm. | |
| External DAC and Theta Casablanca II I'm using my Gen VIII v2 as a straight 2 channel (analog/digial) but also intergrated into the CB3 for HT (L&R). For 2 channel, I would not compare the Gen VIII's DAC's to the CB3's extreme DACS as they are different. CB3 excels in HT not pure... | |
| Theta Xtreme D-2 DAC Card I have. Yes it's very easy. Just take you time. I have the instruction page if you need it just PM me. | |
| External DAC and Theta Casablanca II I'm not surprised by this test. The Superior DAC is really dated compared to many reasonably priced DAC on the market today. Unless Theta comes out with their HDMI upgrade there's really no reason to upgrade any older CB. I've got a CB3 w/extreme ... | |
| cleaning the pins of NOS tubes...bad idea? Caig has a brand new product out that is specifically designed for this type of cleaning. I received an e-mail from Music Direct the other day that showcased this cleaner. Just do a search for Caig on the music direct site and you'll find it. I th... | |
| Best turntable setup for under $300 He's gets the additional benefit with the LX to transfer his vinyl to digital if he needs/wants to which for me would provide additional value. Most of the other recommended tables can not provide that benefit for $104. I know that the LX is not t... | |
| Best turntable setup for under $300 I've just recently received the Sony LX300USB for a gift and am going to use it to transfer some of my LP's to Cd's. The stock needle isn't the best so if your going to do any transfering I'd suggest going to LP gear .com and getting a better one.... | |
| Best copy of Wish You Were Here Better Records just had three of these on their hot stampers list. $499 super duper copy $399 Super copy $299 Excellent copy. WOw and they all sold within a day. So much for a recession. Funny thing was they where all custom lable which some have ... | |
| Best copy of Wish You Were Here Cool. I did buy a Zeppelin Hot stamper from him but found it was very ticky though the LP did sound nice. Good new is I didn;t spend the high dollar amount he demands on so many of his Hot Stamper. Sometimes I think if you search long enought you'... | |
| Best copy of Wish You Were Here So what make the expensive Tom Port HOT STAMPER one sound better? He sure know how to market LP's though. Which pressing was is that you bought from him? | |
| Best copy of Wish You Were Here The Japan Master Sound is very good compared to a domestic release. I also own a first pressing from the UK, it is wrapped in the blue cello this is also another great sounding pressing. I like the japan pressings better especially if done by Oden... | |
| External DAC and Theta Casablanca II Hey Raks,Thanks for those kind words. Glad I could help. Enjoy your newly tweaked system!! | |
| External DAC and Theta Casablanca II Hey Raks,Wow that's very interesting. Hey if the Sonics are better using the Compi Dacs that's all that matters. I actually looked at the Compi before acquiring the Esoteric. It's a top notch player especially for Redbook! My turntable setup is: A... | |
| External DAC and Theta Casablanca II Raks, Are the DACs in your CDP that much better than the DAC's in the CB3's? I would agree the analog section is very good for an HT processor but the extreme DAC's would kill most CDP's and or DVD players. I used the CB's analog section for my tu... | |
| External DAC and Theta Casablanca II So no analog direct in the casanova? Wow that's a bummer. Currently I'm using the Gen 8's analog section for my 2 channel. I've had the six shooter and have used it for 2 channel. IMO the Gen 8 is better for pure analog. Only downside with the Gen... |
