| Opinions on lower priced digital that can compete I have heard and Owned numerous digital cables. Several that you mention above. The Stereovox does reside on the lean side of things and is very analytical sounding to me. Kind of like the D-60 can be in the wrong setup. I do not know what DAC you... | |
| Yahoo transaction? Western Union? Or just scam Avoid. It is not worth it. Chris | |
| Sony 707ES or XA7ES CDPs I have heard the 707es and owned an XA7es for many years. Both are very enjoyable CD Players. I do think the edge goes to the XA7ES though as it is a joy to listen to especially using the XLR outputs. The XA7ES to this day is still an excellent pl... | |
| Transport - does it matter to the sound at all? Very interesting on the NON OS DAC's and insuating that the Transport is not a huge factor in reproduction of sound. In my past experience and present, the transport makes a HUGE difference. I currently use an Electrocompaniet ECD-1 (which is NOT ... | |
| Ray LaMontagne - Got the Stuff He is great.. I have been enjoying him for a while now.. Great that he is getting recognition..Cheers,Chris | |
| Warm and Detailed S.S. Amp? I would definitely check out the Electrocompaniet amplifiers in the power range you are considering. They are excellent performers and a joy to spend time with. Very musical..KiD | |
| Top Ten Interconnects of all time... I have owned and tried numerous cables and I will have to say my favorites have been the following.Silver Cables - AudioQuest Diamond X3 and Dragon Speaker Wire. A stunning combo. I wish I never sold it. I am sure their new Silver is probably just... | |
| Electrocompaniet ECI 3 vs. McIntosh MA-2275 Both are nice integrateds (I have owned the ECI-3) on the laid back side of Solid State but I would suggest looking for a Tube Integrated Amp like the McIntosh, Cary, or VAC..Triangle Speakers Like Tubes...Good Luck,Chris | |

| Analytical, revealing COPPER w/ "How about with Theil, Wilson or other speakers that are more revealing?"That would be interesting as I have not owned a pair of Theils or Wilsons. However, when I referenced owning the Reference Type 5 Speaker Wire and the Reference 1 Interconnec... | |
| Sony DVP9000ES as a Redbook Transport? Thanks for all of the input. I am a big believer in what a difference a transport makes. I have now tried several in my system but just have not found the right one.. BTW: I own an Electrocompaniet ECD-1 DAC. I would consider a one box solution bu... | |
| Analytical, revealing COPPER w/ "However, I have heard XLO sound thin and bright on equipment that is not so laid back." John,That is very interesting. I had owned the original XLO Reference Series (green & purple) with Solid State Gear and it worked very well and a similiar... | |
| Analytical, revealing COPPER w/ The XLO Signtaure is by far the BEST copper cable I have experienced in my system. However, I would not describe them as "edgy" or "analytical". I just recently upgraded from Audience Au24 to the Signature 2 Interconnects, Digital Cable, and the S... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks Great advice given above. Definitely take a look at your room and figure ways to dampen it as mentioned. If your speakers are towed in, tow them out slightly. Also, do yourself a favor and get rid of the Nordost Cables. I think that change alone w... | |
| Ipod to Digital Out I have not seen anything about Apple planning to add this feature to the iPod. However, if you do get an iPod and start using iTunes, you can purchase an Apple Airport Express ($109.00) which does have a Toslink (mini)digital output which you can ... |
