| Reaching the top and stoping The only component in my system that is safe is my Esoteric P3/D5 transport and dac combo. Everything else is free game. | |
| Cary 303/300 vs. 306/200? Michael, I owned both the 306SACD and the 303/300. first of all, the 306SACD does not have volume control. Overall, I liked the 306SACD more. It had much better bass and a more refined sound. | |
| What Volume do you listen at? Ed, very well put! I also listen mostly late in the evening after my kids are asleep. I find that listening at low volumes given the right circumstances, provides me all the inner detail and subtleties that help to convey a sense of intimacy and r... | |
| What Volume do you listen at? According to my RatShack SPL meter, I listen between 50-70. Anything above that and it just hurts my ears. | |
| Power Plant Premier vs. Hydra V-Ray Comparison For you PS Audio Premier users, any issue with the fan turning on? My friend has one and the fan is pretty loud. | |
| What do you do when you listen to music? dpac996: suck it up man! J/K I feel your pain. I have 2 kids only 1.5 years apart so I have been haggard and worn for over 4+ years!!!! I only really get to enjoy my system after my kids have gone to sleep but by then the wifey always tells me to ... | |

| How many hours weekly do you listen to your system I usually critically listen to at least 1 cd per night Mon-Thursday. On Sat-Sun I will listen for around 2 hours per day so I guess the total is 8-10 hours per week. However, my system or some other system in the house is pretty much always on str... | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? ditto Walt and Bigamp. I buy cds, listen to them, then rip them. Most of them go to storage but I do keep a stash of around 50 cds handy. Because I do not encode in lossless, I do believe my transport sounds marginally better than my Sonos. Like o... | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? I use both and will continue to do so. Like Mark02131 stated, the biggest benefit for me of having a music server is the ability to easily enjoy my vast cd collection. Because of the size of collection, I do not encode in a lossles format but rath... | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Chris, remember what I said about the Sonos, it acts as a repeater so as long as you have multiple zones throughout your house, you should have no problem with a weak signal. My router is upstairs in our office which is the front right edge of my ... | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? brontox, I also upgraded to the Seagate enterprise hard drives . I also recommend Aegis.com, which is where I purchased my NAS. | |
| Music Server vs. PC vs. Transport vs. ? Chris, what brontotx is what I did but with a Sonos. One piece of advice, do not skimp on the NAS storage. Get something that is designed for business use with a good RAID backup scheme and recovery software. I had my first NAS (a consumer grade u... |
