| Is Stereophile seeking a new reader demographic? I wish Stereophile would do more to attract a new demographic. The last time I checked they had about 80,000 subscribers. That is not enough audiophiles to support healthy audiophile hardware and software industries. I find it sad that there is so... | |
| Using a PS Audio Perfectwave Dac as a music server 2chnlben,Would you describe the components of your server system and how difficult or easy it was to get them to work together? When I check in over at the PS Audio forums there seem to be a lot of people having trouble getting their systems to wo... | |
| Speaker match for Simaudio W8/P8 I like Dalis. I think they add the touch of warmth or richness that might go well with the Sim gear. What type of sound are you hoping to get? | |
| Using a PS Audio Perfectwave Dac as a music server The PWD is not a server it's just a DAC. You would need to buy a data storage unit and a controller to have a server system.A laptop computer with the appropriate software program plugged into the PWD could serve both functions. A Music Vault (do ... | |
| Gold Lion reissue 12ax7 vs. Mullard reissue 12ax7 I don't know why this isn't getting responses but you could do a search for reputable tube dealers and then discuss what kind of sound you're looking for with one of them. They have the experience to help determine which tube might work best for you. | |
| Music Vault Diamond vs PS audio PWD/PWT The PWT/PWD combo is a fine player but you would still need a storage unit (computer, Nas, Music Vault, etc.) to make a server system. So you would probably be better off keeping your current DAC and getting a Music Vault or other server and see h... | |
| Amps that are "forward" Audio Physic speakers are known for presenting a lot of detail. Their motto is, "No loss of fine detail". | |
| Here I go, shooting myself in the foot I agree Phaelon. I'm not very sensitive to tweaks but swapping out the stock tubes can make a real improvement in sound quality. Elizabeth, when you consider what we spend on our gear, I think it's a worthwhile investment to get the best out of it... | |
| SHM SACD's need to be burned in You heard what you heard. How we perceive sound has to do with a lot of factors other than vibrations passing through the air. I wouldn't go out and buy SHM versions of all my favorites based on one experience but I would buy another SHM-SACD and ... | |
| ...and now a word from your anti-sponsor... I don't know where Johnny got the idea that recorded voices are considered real.Some people like to listen to music that consists of voices and acoustic instruments, but the vast majority of people don't care if there is anything "real" or natural... | |
| Meridian Sooloos or Qsonix? which is better? I haven't heard either server but both have gotten good reviews and there are some threads on Audiogon about them that you can search for. Both servers are most noteworthy for their display software, I think.There is a dealer here on Audiogon, Sou... | |
| What I learned on Audiogon This Year What we post about others often tells more about ourselves. | |
| Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge Thanks Lightminer and _Ben. I'll continue to research. _Ben, uploading 4,000 cds is quite an accomplishment in itself. Enjoy! | |
| Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge Thanks Ben and a Happy New Year to you also!That helps but let me get a little more specific. What I would like to do is get a NAS with a couple of hard drives so I'd have automatic backup. Since my computer with the modem and my stereo are in dif... | |
| Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge Tmhayes, Would you mind giving a little more detail on your setup? Is your external hard drive connected to your computer, router or PWD with wire? If so, what kind of wire? I'm having a little trouble figuring all this out for myself. I'm obvious... |
