| NAS or Server... What's the diff.. which is best? blindjim, just wanted to share little bit of story regarding storage for your digital music. I went with a more consumer (versus enterprise) based NAS drive. I used this to store my over 30K song library. To cut a long sad story short, this drive ... | |
| Anything under 3 years is just flirting.... 1.5 years, which for me is like dog years! I usually swap out gear once every 6 months. I love my Usher BE-10s. | |
| Best Cables for Usher Be718? I just wanted to add my opinion. I dont have the BE-718 but I do have the BE-10 and used Nordost Blue Heavens for a long time. I found the Blue Heavens to have great synergy with the Ushers, helping to bring out the speed, transparency, and detail... | |
| Help with finding ultra-transparent pre-amp Bar81, does this mean you are purchasing it? I REALLY do want to audition one...though I think I am afraid to (rather my wallet is afraid). | |
| Esoteric X-01 limitted or Meridian 808? budt, of course performance and its associated value is all subjective. That being said, I thought the improvement over the X-03se was worth the money (though I may have more money than sense!). To my ears, the P3/D5 did a much better job of separ... | |
| Help with finding ultra-transparent pre-amp bar81, more please! Also, what is your current pre? | |
| mbl 6011d or arc ref 3 or dartzeel preamp? One thing to consider is that the MBL is designed as single ended. In order to get balanced output, you have to purchase an additional "board". FWIW I have heard from a former employee of MBL that it sounds best single ended. That being said, I ha... | |
| new female vocalist-Melody Gardot She has an interesting story about how she got into music. Also a nice album. | |
| Esoteric X-01 limitted or Meridian 808? I used to own the Cary (I now own the Esoteric) and would caution that the Esoteric sound is much different from that of Cary. If you like the Cary sound you should probably look elsewhere. I previously owned the Cary 303/300 and 306SACD. I have o... | |
| How would the Usher BE10 sound with Mac Know_talent, I am not sure if it was my room or the speakers but I had an issue with the 802d bass. In my room (15x20 with vaulted ceiling), the bass was loose and a bit boomy. The Usher bass is tight, quick, and accurate. I think your logic of co... | |
| Help with finding ultra-transparent pre-amp I agree with the Ayre recommendation. I would also consider SimAudio or Pass if you want active. On the other hand I would also look into a passive like Promitheus. It is supposedly extremely transparent though perhaps missing the weight you get f... | |
| NAS or Server... What's the diff.. which is best? Personally, to ensure that any pc or device can access the data on the network without the need for a pc to be on, I would use a NAS connected to the wireless router. I have used a few and my favorite is Infrant ReadyNas NV. This NAS has 4 slots f... | |
| Do Usher spkrs sound great with Rock music? I am not a rock fan but if you want a speaker that is transparent,dynamic, and fast, I think the BE-10 may be what you are looking for. I have owned my BE-10s for about 1.5 years now so I think I have a good handle on what they sound like. Send me... | |
| Ayre K1xe vs. Simaudio P7, P8 drubin, what I mean is that I find both Ayre and Sim to be so transparent and airy that they can also sound thin, lacking weight if they are paired up with like sounding components. I have heard all Ayre and Sim systems with revealing speakers and... | |
| Reccomendations for 802D's? beerdraft, dont get me wrong. I am not disparaging your satisfaction with your system. I actually applaud it! Only your opinion matters. Don't let your audiophile buddies convince you that your system is deficient in any way. Trust your own ears. ... |
