| Dac Questions from an Analogue guy : hello again,So I am looking at buying a very entry level DAC no more than $500 tops. Like I said, I prefer listening to my Lp's and have invested quite a bit of money on my TT rig and Line stage but I do want to play some Cd's since I do have an o... | |
| Dac Questions from an Analogue guy : So I gather that if you do use a Mac Mini, you would need an external drive device given that you will want more 2 TB of storage. I did not realize these drives had a firewire or SATA connections. Also I was wondering if USB 3 connections make a d... | |
| Dac Questions from an Analogue guy : Been on a rather lengthy hiatus from the digital world. It seems Apple works very well as a USB driven system such as a Imac mini integrated with an IPAD or IPOD touch if you want remotely access your files. If you try to use an external hard driv... | |
| Case of the dissapearing Bass Yeah Bryston in the past has been very bright almost too bright with past models. The Newer SST 2 seems to have to my ears anyhow , have remedied that with a much more even/full sound and from what I understand very favourable to many auido equipm... | |
| VPI Scoutmaster to a VPI Classic 1 Well Arnold Layne as long as you are not checking out woman's underwear on clothes lines, I will say the VPI Classic seems to get the nod over the Vpi Scoutmaster II with the JMW II-9 if that indeed is the TT you are talking about. I to am looking... | |
| Case of the dissapearing Bass hmmm...whether you feel your amps are not up for the task is one thing but i cannot understand why you have absolutley no bass at all. I can see a change in the overall sonics when you change the speaker position but it usually is not as drastic a... | |
| Case of the dissapearing Bass yeah speaker performance just does not disappear. The 802 d's obviously have enough performance specifications to provide a good solid bass floor since I have the lower sibling, the 804 d's which supply more than enough bass for my somewhat small ... | |
| Thorens TD166 MK II Cartridge Recommendation What cartridge type are you looking for and what is your budget? | |
| Dac Questions from an Analogue guy : Thanks for the info folks. I just had a chance to go and see a high end audio provider who's main focus is analogue but has been impressed with some of newer digital advances in the past couple years. He is now a dealer for Weiss, a manufacturere ... | |
| Dac Questions from an Analogue guy : Are these high resolution 24/96 -/192 files, flac files. The reason I ask is that I have lent over 300 discs mostly classical and jazz titles to my friend who is going to convert these files to his computer. I believe he said something about Flac ... | |
| Weakest Link? Your honest opinions. Hmm you know....I have heard those Kefs and for the price I quite liked them. I heard them being driven with a Rotel integrated amp. So I don't think the speakers are the weakest link at all in your system to be honest. I would say change out the ... | |
| Good sub $100 cartridge for Thorens TD 160 I just so happened tested a friend's TD 160 and tried a few of my older cartridges with it. As was mentioned the SHure 97XE was a pretty good fit and to a lesser degree an Audio Technica ATX50E. Both for less than a $100. To be honest though, I wo... | |
| Cartridge dilemma Well I have a 2M black and found it to be a very worthy cartridge. I currently am using a Virtuoso Wood cartridge and find it to be warmer with softer highs and deeper bass. I do find the 2M black a little on the harsh side. I am in the process of... | |
| Upscale audio advice Just for an update I have tried 6 Holland made BUGLE BOYS. They sound very good compared to the 6h23's that they replaced. So that answers one question is that I can use more than the Russian made tubes as I was told a few months back. Hope they l... | |
| Early pressings v remastered Of course as Syntax stated, there is a cost factor involved here. If you happen to inherit a bunch of older pressings such as i have than you are lucky. Original Stereo releases from the 60's are hard to come by and the cost, wow....if in good pla... |
