| New Linn Products I went to my Linn dealer yesterday afternoon, and they have received their first Unidisk. No Kisto yet. It is an early production model, apparently sent to only a few dealers here in the U.S. Routine shipping is to begin in six to eight weeks. I l... | |
| Anyone with experience on the PS Audio XStream IC I have two pairs of the single ended audio xStreams in my system right now. I think they are quite excellent, especially for the price. Their sound is neutral and quiet, with no artificial "spotlighting" of certain frequency ranges. I understand t... | |
| Best used dac under $2000 Chord DAC 64. | |
| DAC without power switch - alternative? Why don't you use the power switch on the power plant to turn it off? That's what I did with my DAC64 that didn't have an on/off switch of its' own. | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC 1UP vs.LInn Ikemi vs.DAC 64 I've owned the Ikemi and a DAC 64. No experience with the EC gear. The Ikemi is a wonderful player, but the DAC 64 was clearly superior in my listening tests. I therefore replaced my Ikemi with the DAC 64. I used it with a Sony XA-777ES for a tran... | |
| MFSL going SACD I sure hope they can release some software in other genres. Patricia Barber is not everyone's cup of tea. | |
| Train "Drops of Jupiter" bad recording? It is on SACD from Sony, and the sound is good. | |
| Integrated amp to replace Nu-vista M3? In that case, the BAT would probably be good choice. I've never heard the Pathos equipment. | |
| Integrated amp to replace Nu-vista M3? Seems that all of your choices would be a lateral move. What are you looking for in an upgrade? How does the M3 not please you? Important questions to consider before changing. You are going to have many more options by going to separates. | |
| DVD-A through 2 channel setup experiment I'm not surprised by your conclusion. Almost all of the DVD-A disks I have purchased are seriously flawed. Even with a 5.1 setup, the mixes range from hokey to annoying. | |
| Read My List My suggestion would be the Classe CAP 151. I've never owned one, but when I have listened to it in the past, it seemed to have attributes you desire. In my opinion, the Primare A20 had a very similar sound, perhaps slightly more detailed. If you w... | |
| NAD S200 vs Sonic Frontiers power 2 The two amps will have far different personalities. You must audition them before making a decision. It is usually a mistake to buy a piece of equipment based solely upon a review or a recommendation. | |
| am I nuts? Your sanity is not any more questionable than the rest of the audiophiles around here! This is just a typical obsessive-compulsive situation in which we all seem to find ourselves. | |
| Integrated amp to replace a MF Nu-vista M3? I'd definitely do some listening before changing. What are you looking for with a change in amplification? A more substantial upgrade might be to go with separates. | |
| PC for small IEC socket... Try www.audusa.com. They offer some of their good and reasonably priced power cords with the small "figure eight" two pin connector factory terminated. They are in England, but shipping to the U.S. was quite reasonable. |
