| Clearaudio Innovation: Help with setup in Philly Steve Monte of Quest for Sound is in Bensalem Pa and will be able to help. He did a Rega for me then I upgraded to a VPI classic with the Ortofon black 2m. | |
| Need Advice On A Network Music Player Another mention for the Auraliti which is similar to the Bryston. Check out the discussions over at computer audiophile for some of the differences between The two. | |
| Sony PS3 Optical Out to a DAC? The fan noise would stop me, perhaps yours is much quieter. | |
| Music server I think many would say the Squeezebox Touch. I dont have any personal experience with it so I cant help in that regard. Beyond that it gets more complicated and quite a bit more expensive. | |
| Best preamplifier, amplifier for B&W 800 Diamond You will want to check out the Spectron Musician III amps which are a very popular choice with the 800 series. That's what I use with my 802d. The joule pre is another popular one. I personally use a Cary SLP03 for my preamp. | |
| Auraliti PK100 Any updates on this? Looks interesting. | |
| Itunes or Cds, the smartest purchase? According to the new audio Advisor catalog " Two years ago Apple began to offer "lossless" digital music files on its iTunes store" | |
| Which MC for my setup? Thanks for the replies so far. Here is the rest of my analogue setup:The Whest runs balanced out to Cary SLP 03 tube pre, balanced to Spectron Musician III Se amp with B&W 802D speakers. | |
| $2500 Phono Stage Suggestions The turntable and cartridge are less than a year old and I think the combo does what I want. Of course I want to try a MC down the road but not just yet. | |
| $2500 Phono Stage Suggestions My reason for looking to change is that I feel there is more to be had from my setup by changing the phono. I believe the Whest can be bested, but it will take a good step up to get there. I would like a bit of warmth without covering up the detai... | |
| Ipod Touch as a music server I have the idac and can highly recommend it. It comes with a remote and has inputs for USB, 2x coax, 2x optical. There is a review in the newest Stereophile. | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC I wanted to add that TEAC makes a turntable direct to CD player/recorder. | |
| Best Way To Archive Vinyl On My PC I use a NAD PP3 $200 that has a usb output and a A/D converter and it came with Vinyl Studio Lite software. It has a line in/out so I can use my Whest phono stage. The NAD has good reviews just as a phono stage. The sound quality of the files is q... | |
| most musical DAC under 1k? I just got the idac and am very impressed so far. I pulls the digital signal direct from the ipod and processes the signal via dac. The output thru USB was as good as other input sources which eliminates the need for a S/pdif converter. There is a... | |
| Ipod Server-Why not? Lots of good feedback. I agree that having a DAC makes sense now and will be ready for when I can get hi rez files playing. I am leaning towards the iDac from Peachtree- it has an ipod doc that feeds the dac with a direct digital signal. It will b... |
