| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Mofimadness, thank you for the Alela Diane recommendation. She reminds me a bit of Mary Coughlan. I am going to buy her latest album from Amazon.Great thread! | |
| Goodbye CD's I am kind of in between on this. I will continue to buy CDs as long as they are available but perhaps for different reasons than others in this thread.#1 - I rip my cds to FLAC, most download sites like Amazon and itunes do not offer lossless down... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report The new KT Tunstall cd...love it! | |
| Luxman DA-06 Dac...anyone? I can confirm that the list price is $6K not $5k. Also, the click is also present with their D-06 cdp using the digital inputs. Finally, I am really on the fence about getting a 100V Japenese spec version and using a step down transformer. Assumin... | |
| Child-Proof Speakers Get one of those configurable plastic baby gates and surround each speaker with it. I did that and my stand mount speakers survived 2 kids! | |
| Ayre mx-r vs. Pass xa 60.5 I've owned both the MXR and XA160.5 amps. Obviously both are very good amps. I cannot believe the Pass is having issues with bass and control. I would first look to your speakers and room treatments before discarding your Pass amps. That being sai... | |
| Luxman D-06 digital input can accept 192khz OK I got confirmation that the D-06 is just downsampling the 192 signal to 96. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Niiice Ghosthouse! I really like their older albums like Pale and Bread & Circus. Tonight listening to one of my favorite bands Hem. Just saw them live last night at the Troubadour. Awesome, intimate show. | |
| Getting into SACD Whats your budget and what kind of sound do you like? Whats the rest of your system? I have owned both Esoteric and Luxman. I prefer the Luxman. | |
| Power cords? Williewonka, my experiences mirrors yours. The biggest impact of pc's in my system was with my Ps Audio P3 AC regenerator. Second biggest impact was on my Luxman D-06 cdp. I heard no change with my Accustic Arts Power 1 integrated amp. Consider yo... | |
| Best Speakers for 10' x 12' room? Your room is almost like mine. I use Sonus Faber Auditors without a sub and am very happy with the sound. I used to own the 805Ds but prefer the SF. | |
| New on audiogon Very nice gear! The Einstein stuff is very very good! One of these days I am going get one. As for speakers, tough to say since its a personal decision but for me I would get something that is very neutral, dynamic, and airy to let the magic of th... | |
| Goodbye Sonos, hello ???? Just an update...I decided to retask an HTPC I had laying around which is very close to specs of the CAPS Carbon server aside from the USB card. Using Jriver and Jremote on my iPad and streaming music wireless via the optical output from the mobo ... | |
| Room size & choosing speakers I used to own the 802Ds, 803Ds, and 805Ds and I will say a 10x12 room is definitely too small unless you spend some effort into room treatments. I personally would start with the 805Ds and go from there adding a sub as required. BTW, I used to be ... | |
| Anyone try the Bryston BDP-2 or the BDA-2 Dac Ozzy, would you mind giving us your impressions of the BDP-2 when you get it? I am torn right now between that or building my own CAPS server. Coming from a Sonos the user interface is very important to me. Based on the Bryston website I am not en... |
