| question about "lower" priced CD players/DACs Richardfinegold, I am stunned to hear that the DLIII is "aggressive and in your face" on your system!!!With my Magneplanars, the DLIII seems quite mellow. I remember when I bought my Maggie's I listen to some nice Thiel speakers too. They impresse... | |
| question about "lower" priced CD players/DACs Loomisjohnson, you suggested I consider consider I'd get more significant improvement by changing other components. My preamp and amp are vintage Adcom. The Adcom amp was supposed to be pretty decent at the time (certainly for the price), designed... | |
| question about "lower" priced CD players/DACs Rlwainwright, my speakers are Magneplanar MG-IIIa's - 3-way planar speakers with a ribbon tweeter. They have been completely rebuilt by Magnepan within the last year. The MG-IIIa is the grandfather of the Magneplanar MG3.7. Replacing them with the... | |
| question about "lower" priced CD players/DACs My CD player is close to 20 years old. I'm thinking about buying a new CD player to replace it. hadn't really given a lot of thought yet to using my old CD player as a transport into a new DAC because of the age of the CD player. Minorl, you and M... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 Versus Bel Canto DAC 3.5 After reading Sterophile off and on for a few years and after subscribing for awhile, I feel like they hype things too much and seldom have anything bad to say about equipment they review. If the unit under review does have some bad points, they t... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? I especially like this part of Drubin's response:"draws you into the music, makes the emotional connection." | |
| difficulty finding CD player match for Magneplanar I have thought about playing music directly from my PC through a USB port into my DAC, but am not sure yet if that's the way I want to go. My main concern is if USB output from the computer can provide CD quality sound. I bought a ~$100 U.S. headp... | |
| difficulty finding CD player match for Magneplanar This thread is pretty old now, but if anyone is reading this now I have learned more about powering Maggies lately.The folks on this thread who said that my amp was underpowered for the Maggies are absolutely correct. I hooked up a pair of PSB Alp... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Folks have been saying that digital is poor-sounding compared to their old vinyl. I'm wondering if the big problem isn't that digital sounds bad, per se, but maybe a a lot of the problem is that most recordings are mixed and mastered by engineers ... | |
| NAD M3 V Vincent 236MKII any experiences?? Geph0007 originally asked, "Has anyone had the chance to compare the Vincent 236MKII to the NAD M3?", but all the responses I've seen so far are discussions/arguments over whether or not the the Vincent is the same as the Shengya.Can anyone respon... | |
| options for highly compressed CDs? Tpreaves said: "Most recordings are done in bits and pieces with one musician at a time..."I know, but you're interfering with my imagination :) | |
| Rega Saturn. Is it really a giant killer? I borrowed the player only a few months ago, so it should be fairly current. | |
| difficulty finding CD player match for Magneplanar Okay, guys, thanks for the advice about amps, but for now it is a moot point. The CD player is dying; it has to be the first item to be replaced. I can put in a 500w/ch. amp but if my CD player goes out, I can't listen to music.I had sufficient ba... | |
| difficulty finding CD player match for Magneplanar everyone recommends more power for my speakers. My Maggies are rated at 85db, which means they will produce 85db sound pressure at 1 meter using 1 watt of amplifier power. According to the inverse square law (and an article I read on the internet)... | |
| Rega Saturn. Is it really a giant killer? One problem I ran into with the home-trial Saturn I had over a weekend was that it seemed to demand pristine disks. Some of my CDs have a few scratches on them, but generally nothing serious. The Saturn got very upset over a couple of my CDs. I to... |
