| PS audio PWD MK2 a real upgrade from MKI? Hi Vhiner, I admit that my ears are not the most sensitive and I do not get to listen to a lot of different gear. Maybe I should have explained that in my post.So if the OP is good at hearing differences he should take your advice. If he sometimes... | |
| PS audio PWD MK2 a real upgrade from MKI? In my opinion the Mk II is a definite upgrade. However, it is not a night and day difference. If money is tight and you enjoy the Mk I, I'd save the money and wait and see what PS Audio comes up with for a music server, if they ever do. | |

| High End In China: Visiting This Summer There is an article written by Robert Harley in TAS that you can find with a search on their website, it's titled, "The World's Number One Audiophile?".It's about a Chinese gentleman in the city of Yang Jiang who undoubtedly is number one. The art... | |
| Anyone own or listened to this cd? You might like "Bleecker Street: Greenwich Village In The 60's"It's classic folk songs from the 60s interpreted by younger folk influenced artists. Marshall Crenshaw does a killer electric "My Back Pages" and there are several other exceptional co... | |
| Conrad Johnson with Gallo Reference 3.1s I'm not familiar with the Gallos but I owned the c-j CA200. I would not describe it as warm. It did have a very nice sound though. I would describe it as "sweet" (that's not an official audiophile term). I think that resulted from very good high f... | |
| Easy biasing Tube amps PrimaLuna are autobiasing. You don't have to do anything at all except plug the tubes in. This also allows you to use a variety of tube types (EL34, KT88, etc.) in the same amp. | |
| preamp vs integrated As you noted, the preamp preamplifies the signal before sending it to the amp. It also allows switching between sources, the inclusion of a phono stage, may provide a balance control, another set of preamp out outputs, etc. Any of these functions ... | |
| Question: Is CDR recording the same as the SACD You are sending an SACD quality analog signal to your recorder and recording it at a lower resolution (16/44.1), as you probably know. Cds and Cd-rs can sound very good, better than many SACDs, so I don't see why you couldn't get close to SACD qua... | |
| Why does the copy sound better than the original I am not a professional reviewer or listener but I'm not deaf either. I have listened to many copies of cds and they don't sound better to me. Someone else may hear an improvement but there are many possible explanations why.If you make a copy of ... | |
| MP3 vs Hi Res Will the real Steve N. please stand up. In the CD vs FLAC thread you write:"If you are planning on USB from a computer and you actually have a highly resolving system, FLAC will not sound as good as .wav. Even AIFF files dont sound as good as FLAC... | |
| Quality of laptop for use with Dac. Hi James, I'm sure there are a lot of great speakers out there, unfortunately, like you, I haven't been able to listen to them. If your Zingalis sound good to you I'd keep them until you get to hear something that sound a good deal better. No sens... | |

| PrimaLuna ProLogue Two vs ProLogue Premium P.S. You can usually get the biggest improvement in sound for your money by upgrading your speakers, in my humble opinion. It is important that you listen to them first. It is best if you can listen to them in your home.Most of us have tried to bu... | |
| PrimaLuna ProLogue Two vs ProLogue Premium If you can listen to them side by side and can hear a difference worth the money, then upgrade to the Premium.If you cannot do a side by side comparison, I'd stay with the Prologue 2 and save your money until you can afford an upgrade that will ma... |
