| AppleTV to external DAC? You are right Darkj. It is cheap and I might get my eyes opened. After all, I am not trying to get it perfect yet. | |
| AppleTV to external DAC? Macrojack, I don't speak fluent AppleTV yet but can suggest the following: If you don't already have a wireless network, you can create one, and the AppleTV can join it (just make sure it is not hidden). Your AppleTV will then be able to link to y... | |
| AppleTV to external DAC? Got my AppleTV last week. Finally hooked up now (all kinds of issues up to now). I can put in a toslink cable to the DAC, but would prefer a higher quality linkage. Wondering if something like a Monarchy DIP would do it... Macrojack, my understand... | |
| arguments against starting a vinyl collection? Karmapolice,I think Sns' last post accurately describes what a lot of people go through when they decide to try vinyl again. I can see a lot of what I went/am going through in there. I agree with his last paragraph.The thing which people do not me... | |
| DIY solid gold interconnects? There are a number of threads commenting about gold wire (worth a search in the archives). I do not know of one referring to rhodium plating though it is easy enough to search the archives for that too. There are a number of "recipes" posted here ... | |
| TT+tonearm under $5k Buying used is generally best bang for buck, Buying a Serac may negate that. Buying a used TT or tonearm involves substantially less 'relative risk' than buying a used cartridge because the wear factors are different. | |

| Stand out phono stages I can second Swampwalker's opinion that ZYX Artisan is very good. I have not compared it in the same system with all the great ones noted above, but I have heard some of them in systems I greatly respect and enjoy, and have no desire to 'upgrade' ... | |
| Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable As Thom says, stainless steel is way up over the past few years and aluminum is following suit - aluminum ingots are up 50% since 2004 and stainless steel is up more than 100%. Kind of surprised by the PVC price jump but small lot buyers can get s... | |
| What time do you wear? The coolest [production] watch out there in conceptual terms, IMHO, is f p journe's chronometre a resonance. I think it looks nice too but the idea, if it actually works, is really neat. | |
| Cat owner wants speakers try horns. the worst the cat could do is rub up against them. | |
| SACD & DVDA done? How good is the DSD DAC in the PS3? Anyone ever used it for audio? | |
| The most important link in the chain... I would have said "the room" is most important, but now that I read some of the other responses, I would tend to agree with the people who said that the most important "component" is the listener (and his/her priorities). I noticed when I thought ... | |
| Acapella Ion Tweeters: Diff btwn TW1 and TW1S Thanks Glory. I emailed Brian and he suggested that I contact Acapella. I did and got an answer several hours later saying that the older "ATR" labelled TW1 model was the same as the "Acapella Audio Arts" labelled TW1S. | |
| Your First Concert was..... For rock, it was Genesis' "shapes" album tour in 1983. For orchestral it was Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite (at the Lincoln Center I think). |
