| Sooloos music server: Anyone hear, anyone a dealer Don_s, the Exemplars were in FIM and LSA suites. The Blue Smoke was in the Rockport suite at THE Show.Swampwalker, What I saw and heard was very real, but the principles said that it would be several months before it would be in production.You can... | |
| Hard Drive/Computer Audio at the SHOW and CES Sammie, there is a good thread under digital. | |
| Sooloos music server: Anyone hear, anyone a dealer There were two other servers at CES and THE Show that I thought were better and cheaper than the Sooloos. They were the Exemplar and Blue Smoke. The Exemplar uses a wireless tablet touch screen but, as shown, did not use the available cover art as... | |
| Whats your "best of CES 2008" The $2500/pair LSA1-Statements were far superior to the Usher Tiny Dancers. | |
| Best digital cable to audition? As usual, little or no agreement. Does anyone get any benefit from such threads? | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Mrdecibel, I agree with you about the Jadis. I can find no evidence that they are still made nor find any used ones. I am curious how many were ever made. | |
| Copland DRC205 digital room correction I have heard demonstrations of the Lyngdorf and Copland units at the RMAF and CES. The improvements were quite audible. I just have great pause to run analog signal through an A to D and then back again. The magic of audio reproduction is just so ... | |
| Whats your "best of CES 2008" I thought the Reference YG speakers sounded very good especially in the terrible room. I have never heard anything sound good in the mezzanine rooms. I didn't bother with the MBL, Soundlab, or Hansen rooms. I did not like the fact that the sweet s... | |
| Why use CD Transport instead of computer source I did compare the same cd with a ripped lossless version, but I know nothing about SB3 or Transporter. Neither used a Benchmark dac but the Exemplar uses the Benchmark board. Neither uses the USB connection nor any sound board. I don't know what t... | |
| Why use CD Transport instead of computer source Hamburg, I have sold the Accustic Arts Dac and Drive One and presently use an Exemplar/Shanling SCD-3000. This was largely the result of wanting to play my many sacds. All that I really know is that my FIM K2 sampler sounded far superior on both c... | |
| Why use CD Transport instead of computer source Long ago I learned that cd servers sound quite different as do cd transports. I think most have had the experience I had in listening to redbook even lossless originating from my hard-drive. It was quite poor music reproduction. Early on I heard a... | |
| Are passive preamps better? Atmasphere, I do recall many saying that in professional applications using balanced cable the wire is unimportant. I once had the Cello system using Cello Strings and all in balance. We found to our consternation that Siltech balanced cables soun... | |
| Are passive preamps better? Atmasphere, can you please elaborate on the linestage "controlling" the interconnect cables. I have not yet heard a linestage that is "immune" to cable choice. | |
| Clement Perry's new reference speaker Clement's warning about listening for yourself is, as always, the best advice, especially at shows. I find it appalling that brand new equipment is used, that there are alliances between manufacturers to split the cost of the room that often have ... | |
| Loricraft and Keith Monks I had one of the first Keith Monks and sold it as too finicky. For years I had Nitty Gritty and then VPI cleaners, but then bought a Loricraft. It made my already cleaned LPs sound even cleaner. |
