| Want to upgrade my Adcom GFP 565 preamplifier The 750 is far from clinical and lifeless. I think it is extremely musical and true to whatever source you feed it. The top end is extremely smooth, at least in the passive mode. Active mode, not so much--so maybe that is the criticism. I think ma... | |
| Want to upgrade my Adcom GFP 565 preamplifier I would second the GFP750--very smooth and great soundstage. High quality components for the price. Can be used in active or passive mode--the passive is extremely neutral with a nice deep soundstage if you like that. Imaging is really tight, good... | |
| Squeze Box Question High quality upsampling DACs have been shown to work with up to 500' of high quality true 75 ohm cable. The jitter reduction in these DACs is so good that it becomes a non-issue. That said, wi-fi seems to be a good way to go with the Squeezebox, e... | |
| Inexpensive high efficiency bookshelf speakers Von Schweikert VR1 90 db discontinued, but can be had around 500 on agon. great warmth, soundstage and imaging. Were sold as "set tube friendly". Love em! | |
| Cardas new top of the line cable this is not an affordable price! | |
| Transport for DAC I would characterize the Bel Canto DAC3 as "warm" sounding. No tubes though! | |
| great sounding cds to audition new speakers Cowboy Junkies, The Trinity SessionsBeatles, Love | |
| jeff rowland 501 & 201 vs. bel canto ref1000 How broken in was the mk2 here? Surprising after reading the stereophile review and seeing the new specs!! How did midrange (vocals especially) compare? | |
| Squeze Box Question This is exactly why I want to go this route: Have all my music in one place, not worry about the type of computer or the sound card, and be able to have music anywhere I want in the house! Thanks for everyone's responses. PS, have not decided to g... | |
| Does ProGold have a shelf life? One thing that got missed here too: the original poster was concerned about the time it took him to do the work. If I spent a bunch of time cleaning my equipment like he did and realized the product I was using might not be as effective, I'd be bu... | |
| Does ProGold have a shelf life? Some analogies come to mind: I throw my food away when the freshness date has expired. I throw my prescription meds away too. My used paint in the garage usually starts to get funky and mucky after a couple years sitting in the can. I also change ... | |
| Squeze Box Question I agree somewhat with what acurus just said--technology has a steep learning curve. I am about to go this route too, since I need a new computer anyway, and I just got a Bel Canto DAC3 hooked up and a squeezebox is sitting on my shelf. I know it i... | |
| Does ProGold have a shelf life? Bombay, the chemists would probably disagree with your read on this. How can you say the chemical components have not broken down and become useless? That is pure conjecture. Everything has a shelf life. | |
| Transport for DAC I have had a DAC3 for a couple weeks now and have run a 200.00 player and a 1500.00 player as transports. Can't tell any difference. That's why I am selling the expensive player. Cables might make a bit of a difference, but to be truthful I can't ... | |
| Good USED XLR Interconnect Choices for $300-$400? Another vote here for cardas golden cross xlr! Love em |
