| PS Audio Bridge: First Impressions Thanks for the information Edorr. Perhaps over time the sound quality of the bridge will improve as more experience is gained with it. The bridge is still in its infancy. | |
| what is the best, least costly DAC...? I don't think the dacs being talked about have apodizing or MP filters. I think the PS Audio PerfectWave DAC is the lowest price dac with these filters (but it is not a low price dac).The Perfectwave is a good dac. There are many comments from own... | |
| Tube Buffer Vibration Isolation Tubes do pick up vibrations and send them through your speakers. There is no doubt about that. This noise is called microphonics. Lightly tap on your buffer and you will probably hear those taps through your speakers. Don't tap on the tubes themse... | |
| Amp or Integrated for Dali MS4 I don't know your listening habits so the INT30A may not have enough power for you. I guess if you're not sure then it probably doesn't. But that's not a problem because there are many good more powerful amps around.Spend some time reading reviews... | |
| Amp or Integrated for Dali MS4 You might want to try a tube preamp with a solid state amp. The combinations are endless. I don't know if you will get the same sound quality that you heard with the big $ amps but you can get very good sound with amplification in the Dali's price... | |
| ARC CD8 or Ayre C5mp . I don't know which player sounds better but Ayre's answer for harsh digital sound is the minimum phase filter. It works by eliminating pre-ringing which is a major advancement for digital sound IMHO. Meridian and EMM Labs also think this is the wa... | |
| Amp or Integrated for Dali MS4 I have heard the Helicon 400s with a Plinius SA-201 and c-j 17LS2 preamp, and with a Pass INT30A. Both systems sounded very good.Dalis are a musical speaker and should sound good with any quality amp that suits your tastes. What kind of sound are ... | |
| tube choice for Audible Illusions L1 Gte357s,The 6DJ8, 6922 and 7308 are a family of tubes that are interchangeable in most audio applications. The E88CC is the European name for the 6922. The 7DJ8 is a little higher voltage version of the 6DJ8. Unfortunately NOS versions of these tu... | |
| PS Audio PWT / PWD digital connection Thanks for the help Mrtennis and Srwooten! | |
| PS Audio PWT / PWD digital connection Can an ordinary HDMI cable be used between the PWT and PWD I2S ports or is a specialized cable needed? | |
| SA11 S2 SACD player. I'm listening to more CDs I agree Tz, cd sound is improving steadily and I think that it will continue to improve for a long time. Manufacturers are just now finding solutions to a couple of cds major problems, jitter and preringing. Who knows what else they will find and ... | |
| Parasound halo jc2 and A-21 Dali helicons 800 II Your Parasound amp has plenty of power to get adequate bass out of your Dali speakers. You either have serious room acoustics issues or listen at volumes that are going to destroy your hearing.If you absolutely need more bass, a subwoofer might be... | |
| Favorite Pianists Lynne Arriale plays beautiful, but not smooth, jazz in a trio. She really should be much better known. "Nuance" and "Long Road Home" are probably her LESS accessible albums. | |
| Wyred DAC-2 vs. PS Audio PWave The PWD uses apodising or minimum phase filters which, to my ear, make a significant difference in 16/44.1 playback. I don't see these filters discussed much but I think they are a major step forward in digital. | |
| Filling out the sound I am not familiar with Rega gear, but I think that speakers are the most variable piece of gear in the chain of equipment. If you don't want to take the whole system back and start over, try some speakers that are known as having a warmer sound. I... |
