I need help - Better DAC or NEW CD player?
Demianm,To get back to your original question, your Rotel is a pretty decent CD player. I haven't heard the DAC Magic but suspect that it's likely a lateral move from the Rotel. Maybe someone who has heard both can comment much more intelligently.... 
audio research ls25 mk1 volume issue
Syhilly, my understanding is that, especially for tube preamps, that they frequently sound better when the volume control is wide open. (That's what the owner's manual for my old VAC preamp said, anyway.)Michael 
Preamp for Thiel 1.6's
The best combination with Thiels I've heard yet is a Plinius preamp / amp combo. Of course, that is well beyond your price range but you could easily get a Plinius 8200 integrated amp that might do just the trick.What is your source? If you're com... 
audio research ls25 mk1 volume issue
Forgive my asking, but what's the problem with having the volume knob at 12 o'clock? In my opinion, this is ideal as it provides you with some room for volume adjustment, rather than being extremely loud with minimal turning of the knob.In your ca... 
Preamp for Thiel 1.6's
Geh7, although frequently classified as Mid-Fi, the Rotel 1095 is a very good amp that should be able to drive your Thiels fairly well. The 1.6's require some power to sound their best, and IMHO the preamp and amp together should sit slightly on t... 
Inactive audio members that you miss
Ah yes, Slappy and Suburuguru. Slappy cracked me up -- they guy definitely has a sense of humor.Albert, that's great that you have such a personal relationship with so many Audiogon members. So far I personally know two people from Audiogon, so th... 
Is it possible? A good solution?
The idea sounds interesting enough that it just might work under proper circumstances. I'm just wondering, though, if you might get the worst of both worlds (ie, record noise + digital glare).Michael 
Universal remote for audio only
I'll put a 4th in for Logitech Harmony (I have the Harmony One). It has finally replaced my other remotes 98% of the time, and I might add it is the first universal remote to even get close to that (and I've used several). The setup process is str... 
Tube Preamp, Amp or Int for holographic imaging?
Superapplekid, I've heard some Boston Acoustics (a model similar to the VR3 I think) and, at least with the setup I heard them in, I wasn't too impressed with the sound or the soundstaging.If you have a relatively small room, and you're after holo... 
Tube Preamp, Amp or Int for holographic imaging?
Tvad is right on the money. You need to have speakers, proper positioning, and an appropriate room for the best imaging. This implies also amplification/preamplification that is appropriately mated to the speakers. That said, I find that having tu...

How to tell which version of Squeezebox I bought?
If you've installed the Squeezebox's server software, point your browser to the server and go to Settings -> Player, and look at the Player Information toward the bottom. It will tell you the version of the Squeezebox, the firmware version, MAC... 
Woofers Gone Wild
I used to have that problem, too. Some phono preamps don't filter out the very low frequencies, and this ends up getting transmitted to your amp and speakers.Here is your solution:KAB rumble filterMichael 
More help finding lossless downloads please
If you can't find a place that will offer lossless downloads, then I just recommend purchasing the CD (I get mine used from Amazon.com) and then ripping it yourself into the lossless format of your choice.This ensures that it will fit properly int...
