Has anyone tried Mark Audio cables
T_bone, I think that the Audiogon user info doesn't show the date that they signed up on Audiogon, but rather is a "Posting since" date. Hence you could be buying things for years, but just now started posting, and hence get a recent "Posting sinc... 
Has anyone tried Mark Audio cables
T_bone, in all fairness Jimqc's sales feedback goes back to 2002, even though this is his first time posting on Audiogon. That lends some credence to the notion that he didn't just create an Audiogon account at the manufacturer's request to tout t... 
Best Balanced Tube Amp To Pair With Meridian G02?
Nightfall, what speakers are you using? That will help dictate good choices for a tube amp more than the preamp that you plan to mate it with.I do agree, however, with your SS pre and tube amp combination desire. I can say from personal experience... 
Mac Server vs. Wadia/iPod combo
Tbg, do you have a Powerbook (they had the Motorola G3 and G4 processors, although I'm not sure if any of them went up to 2.26GHz) or a Macbook Pro?I'm not sure if the old Powerbooks had Toslink. You can look it up on the specs on Apple's website,... 
Mac Server vs. Wadia/iPod combo
Tbg, what Mac do you have that doesn't have Toslink? Keep in mind that the jack is hidden in the headphone jack, which doubles as a mini-Toslink jack. (You will need an adapter, or a cable that has a mini-Toslink connector on one end.)Michael 
Dac recommendations for computer audio
Houston,You say that you want "analog-like and organic presentation... killer midrange with female vocals, a large soundstage and clearly defined instrument separation".Before shelling out $3K on a new DAC, you already have a well-regarded DAC tha... 
Tag Help
Richard,What software did you use to rip the WAV files? Were they tagged then? WAV files, unfortunately, don't have a standard way of having tags as we know them in FLAC or MP3, for instance, but there are sections of the WAV files dedicated to ma... 
TT sounds so bad I cringe - Help Please
I once had the zPhono, Music Hall MMF2, and the Goldring cartridge that comes with it, so I know that set of equipment.I had problems with used classical records. They sounded thin and the pops and clicks were completely overpowering the underlyin... 
New Mac Mini Outputs
Famoej, I haven't listened critically to the mini-Toslink vs USB, but I have used both of them on the same computer. I switched to USB because my toslink connection at the computer became unstable and would frequently result in a transient static-... 
What's really happening in my receiver?
Why do you find it strange that a D/A converter can make so much of a difference? After all, CD players (largely due to differences in their internal DACs) can sound significantly different. Yours happen to have similar sonic characteristics.I can... 
Advice on possible preamp upgrade
Dwr, what is it that you don't like about your current system? I've never heard Geddes Abbey speakers before, but the rest of your system looks like it leans on the warmish side. Is that your listening preference?If you don't truly have any defici... 
Int-Amp after Rega Mira 3? What's Next?
What speakers are you using? These might be contributing more to your sense of "coldness" than the amp. Or perhaps the amp / speaker mating isn't optimal.I find it interesting that you say it sounds good for classical but not rock music. I associa... 
New Mac Mini Outputs
Drubin, I believe the mini Toslink outputs an S/PDIF signal.Michael 
Classics you can't have too many recordings of
Dvorak's 9th, Tchaikovsky's violin concerto, Rachmaninoff's vocalise, 2nd + 3rd piano concertos, Dvorak's violin concerto, Brahms' 3rd + 4th symphonies, Beethoven's 5th, Prokofiev's violin concertos, and several of Mozart's symphonies. But there a... 
Classe CAP 151 and Copland CSA8
I think the VR-2's sounds great with tubes, but you say that you want SS.The Classe is a solid choice. I haven't heard the Copland.Other options in that price range include the Musical Fidelity A3 series and the Music Hall Mambo. In my experience,...
