| Finding the ultimate universal player It sounds like the Ayre DX5 would suit the bill , but you will have to wait for a used one , its alot more than 4 to 6 large . When ever you add ( the Ultimate ) to it , add some cash . I preferred the Ayre C5mp for red book CDs . Players that als... | |
| to SACD or not Hello Ed ... Saw your system link , ( very nice ) . I noticed your using W.A. Sophia's , I like them very much . but thought they had a slightly forward sound . I'm using Revel Salon 1's , that Iv'e always felt could have a slightly recessed sound... | |
| Power/voltage Regulator Yes . the regulator should be up stream of the conditioner , they may work well together . I have A Panamax 5510 , now being used for video , One of the better conditioners in my opinion . Make sure you listen closely before making your mind up on... | |
| to SACD or not I tried both the Ayre DX5 and the C5 , and found the C5 much better on CD and SACD , so did the audio buds . I sent the DX back and purchased the C5 . The usb port and Blueray option would have been great , but I could not sacrifice sound quality ... | |
| Binding Straps vs Jumpers Johnnyb53 ... your comment ( SERIOUSLY fast ) brings up a question , I always believed , electricity traveled at the same speed regardless of size or type of conducter , correct me if i'm wrong . | |
| RCA to XLR adapters? Almarg ... I'm aware of where the discussion went , I just don't think we helped out the poster much , probably confused him as much as I . | |
| RCA to XLR adapters? I think most of the responders here have missed the Question . Bobheinatz wants to use a single ended ( 2 wire cable ) in a balanced set up , Which will require a 3 wire cable . You can use adapters or reterminate , but you won't get a balanced si... | |
| Power/voltage Regulator It will also depend on how unstable the voltage is in your area . When I was using a power stabilizer ,with read out , the voltage would drop by 15V at times . Base voltage here is 117 . One would think thats got to make a difference with many com... | |
| Mac sound quality As i said above , iv'e tried several DACs including a friends USB DAC . The collective response was they were no better just different , maybe not even as good as the #360 . So much for asynchronous DACs being better . How do I rip with XLD ? | |
| to SACD or not I went from the Marantz SA11 to the Ayre C5 recently , expecting only a small improvement , but got much more .( the Marantz broke 3 times in 3 years ) . AS far as your question , SACD was stumbling before , I don't think the appearance of Blueray... | |
| Revel Salon 2 vrs Kef 207/2 Stereophile reveiwed both . Kef feb 08 ... Salon june 08 ... They were both very well liked , and tied for speaker of the year . Iv'e heard both and refer the Salons . Although I'm biased as I own the Salon 1s, and would not part with them for any... | |
| Mac sound quality Audioquest . What is the best way to go ? | |
| The Ultimate SACD Machine Paul ... I have two , would you like one ? I will have to find it later , I'm going over to the analog site now to tell them how much better my digital rig sounds . Just kidding . | |
| Mac sound quality 4est . Settings were as you recommended , except error correction was off , does this mean all imported CDs will have to be reburnt ? I could not find the audio midi set . This is the newest Imac , could it be different ? Thanks | |
| Mac sound quality Thanks for the input . I have tried several DACs and was using it with out conditioner , it was worse . The Mac guys told me the Mac mini and the IMac should sound the same and explained why , ( way over my head ) . Im not using the USB port , I'm... |
