| New DAC Not a Dramatic Improvement? If it is the Bryston, as has already been speculated, you should know that which input you use to connect it to the transport will have a considerable impact on the sound. To say nothing of the cable being used. There's an interesting thread on th... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player Has anyone heard the 5400 pitted against the Cambridge 840c? I realize that the Sony does more things, but at the 1.5K mark, on red book CD, this would seem to be the natural competition. | |
| ps audio perfect wave transport As I understand it, it can store/buffer up to 4 minutes of music, to reduce jitter when playing an individual CD conventionally, but the intent is also that it be used as a drive to rip many CDs to an external storage device. | |
| ps audio perfect wave transport Wpines--looks like you might be on to something. Just checked the Music Direct website: projected price has jumped up from the 2K reported by RH to 3K, and availability has jumped back from February to April/May. Hmmmmm. | |
| ps audio perfect wave transport There's a fairly detailed description in the February Absolute Sound, in RH's coverage of the RMAF. Check also the Music Direct website. | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- ...you keep a straight face when you tell your friends that your next turntable is going to be a Milky Stork. | |
| Anyone Remember the B&W DM3000s? I still have a pair of DM1800s that I run in my secondary system. You can infer from the fact that I've kept them for 20 years how I feel about them. Personally, I believe that B&W made really great speakers back then, but in the interim the r... | |
| Predicting the AGon economy? Does anyone have any sense of what percentage of gear gets sold during its first listing period? Any idea of whether that percentage is heading up or down over recent months. My own guess would be down. | |
| Low-powered, class A, solid-state integrated amps Transcendent amp--really nice looking, but are those glass bottles that I see?Perhaps now that Pass make the 150 INT, Nelson will consider adapting one of his First Watt designs.And yes--Dan, you're right: I forgot that MF recently came out with a... | |
| In case you haven't seen the new Maggie? Remember that they were running them with top-of-the-line very high power Bryston monoblocks. The speakers may come to market relatively inexpensively, but I wonder what kind of (and how much) amplification they'll need to make them sing. | |
| Looking for a CDP from a company that'll be around Bryston BCD-1. Longest warranty in the industry. Not as long as on their amps (because of inherent problems with transports) but longer I think than anyone else. Also, conservative company, very likely to be around. | |
| Proac Response D25 match with low power tube amp I drive my Response 2.5s most satisfactorily with 14W of 300B SET. If the sensitivity and impedance haven't changed too much with the revision of the speaker, it should be just fine. | |
| Bryston BCD-1 impressions? Teel's negative comments posted simultaneously over three threads concerning the BCD-1, were very unhelpful.First of all, he doesn't specify the system that the unit was auditioned it, so that we might be able to judge the synergy or lack of same,... | |
| starting from scratch almost , need advice Several integrateds have a slot that allow you (or the manufacturer) to install an optional DAC board. Bryston and Accuphase are two that come to mind... |
