Mac Server vs. Wadia/iPod combo
Sufentanil, I stand corrected. I have never used Toslink and could not find an output for such. I have a Powerbook Pro 2.26 GHz 
Synergistic R Hologram A or T3 on preamp ???
I would predict that you will get the greatest improvement with the D. 
Mac Server vs. Wadia/iPod combo
Toslink will come straight from some Macs, but not this one. No Mac that I have used has SP DIF or AES/EBU. 
Azimuth and the Fozgometer
Stltrains, thanks for your post. I am buying one. 
Mac Server vs. Wadia/iPod combo
Buy the server and use Pure Music. Anything using MP3 is crap. If you already have a Mac just try it with Pure Music. You can use it for 15 days at no cost. If the Berkeley has a USB port go straight from the computer to it. Most USB to SP DIF are... 
Marantz SA-14 vs. Cary CDP-1??
If you try the Exemplar revision of the Oppo 83 (not SE), you would try no others. It costs $2700. I heard it in Winston Ma's big buck listening room and was just amazed. I get mine soon. 
Tripoint Spartan
You guys are driving me crazy. I had the Troy for a review, raved about it, but ultimately sent it back. I regret it now. I don't even want to hear the Spartan. 
Synergistic R Hologram A or T3 on preamp ???
Joris, I compared the Hologram A versus the T2 on my preamp and preferred the T2. That certainly was not the case on my amp where I tried both the Power Reference and the T2. The Hologram A was clearly best.I think the difference between the T2 an... 
How has Pure Music been so greatly improved?
4est, I do also have Amarra software, but I forgot my key to use it when I went to my summer home. I had already decided that Pure Music 1.40 was more to my tastes, however. I will be going back to Texas next week and will once again be able to us...

Jdoris, if you have an account, just select download and pick 1.61. You can also go to download to buy an account. I can tell you how to get Memory and HOG operating. 
Reference 3a Grand veena or Duntech Sovereign
Wasitpon, if I recall correctly, John Dunlevy wanted no toe in. He was wrong as I recall. The speaker's drivers are in a curve to have the voice coils in the same line. I always found toe in improved the sound stage.I would think a minimum of ten ... 
Reference 3a Grand veena or Duntech Sovereign
Wasitpon, they will work.Another matter, is the use of feet or stands under the Sovereigns. Dunlevy never recommended the use of feet and I never did. They would have to be very substantial feet as each Sovereign weighs 350 pounds. I do suspect th... 
Reference 3a Grand veena or Duntech Sovereign
Rgs92, thankfully the Grand Veenas sound nothing like Wilsons. They have a very real soundstage and very real on vocals. I have no idea why you would ask about buzzing. 
Reference 3a Grand veena or Duntech Sovereign
Wasitpon, what is the MC 1201 amp? I don't know much of your equipment but do know that the Sovereigns take power.

I haven't seen my Contrivas in 3 months, but mine are just over 10' apart. I do this to avoid having them too close to my side walls. I sit at the same distance from both. They are toed in to intersect just behind my my ears which sounds just like...
