| Tube pre to mate with a Simaudio amp and Dynaudio The Hovland pre (either the old one (HP-100) without the remote or the new one (HP-200)) would be an excellent pairing with those speakers and W-3. I have auditioned the W-3 with a higher level Dyn bookshelf speaker and the Hovland HP-100 and was ... | |
| Running dedicated circuits; What next? I would also recommend trying just connecting directly to the mains, without any PC. I have dedicated circuits and PS Audio Pports, and have seen no reason to rush to powerconditioners ... yet. | |

| Can you play Doves Some Cities on emmLabs CDSD ? Michael,To be honest, it's not all Copy Controlled discs, but two recent releases (canadian made) couldn't play without the pops, clicks, and crackling. On the other hand, I have some old CC discs that will play without a problem. EMI said the tec... | |
| Can you play Doves Some Cities on emmLabs CDSD ? Albert,You're on to something ... I was thinking the same thing ... However, if I didn't spend all the money on the emmlabs stuff, plus the associated equipment, and the 3rd floor that houses the equipment, I may be able to buy a decent machine to... | |

| Progressive Rock sorry 'bout that ... I guess in the 70's ELP, Yes, Genesis never left my Technics TT, 'til I discovered Springsteen back then. Perhaps, my current love of Radiohead and post-Radiohead bands was based on that early diet of PROG.Anyways, given the l... | |

| Worst remote nomination... I also nominate the emm labs remote. It sucks ... small buttons, hard to read in low light and I am forever pressing the wrong buttons as it is not intuitive. The preamp input controls are limited to three buttons, which means you may still have t... | |

| Can you play Doves Some Cities on emmLabs CDSD ? Well, I took the CD back and got my money back. Then, I bought a UK version on amazon.co.uk which doesn't have the damn CopyControl protection and it works fine !!Meanwhile, what can audiophile consumers do to stop EMI from using Copy Control (oth... | |
| Can you play Doves Some Cities on emmLabs CDSD ? I really don't understand the so called protection that Copy Control provides. I mean I can put the disc on my PowerBook and rip to MP3 and make countless CD's or share the MP3's. Yet, I can't play the damn disc on my emmLabs transport. Yet, it wo... | |

Did you try using Mini Khan's on both the CDSD + DCC2 together ?Did either Rgs92 or Springbok10 ever compare the MiniKhan's to the Harmonix Studio Master X-DC (similar price use... |
