| Computer/DAC combo sugestions Steve, there is much more to say about it than is possible in a single post, therefore the best way to get informed about it is to go to the Computer Audiophile link and read, there is a huge amount of information there back to the first CAPS comp... | |
| Computer/DAC combo sugestions CAPS 3 Zuma + Red Wine Audio Black Lightning (dual output) + JPlay + Centrum Hex (or your choice among many good DACs) | |
| Hand crafted equipment rack? Box Furniture, Trellis Audio | |
| Anyone tried military grade anti vibration feet ? Generally, you get what you pay for. Save money for Stillpoints Ultra SS or Ultra 5s. | |
| Dynaudio speaker stands 4 or 6? Go for the cheapest ones and then buy Track Audio isolation feet; you'll have the best stands ever. | |
| Need DEQX HDP 3 Manual. I have two DEQX manuals, but they are for the previous model, 2.6. I don't think there are big differences, mostly higher specs. Send me a message and I will forward them to you (val at dorta dot com). | |
| Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers? Yes, Stillpoints is no longer the only one. Besides Track Audio (I just love their speaker stands), there is also Spiral Groove's Strange Attractors. I also love those laminated bamboo speakers, designed by Joachim Gerhard of Audio Physic fame! | |
| Integrated amp: Can it perform equal to separates? I agree with Warrenh. Many years ago, when the first Focals came to the US, that little integrated was the only one that could make them listenable. Another real classic. | |
| Who here uses Von Gaylord amps or other gear? "... and the lower end of the Von Gaylord electronics. LAD-2 Signature Pre Amp and LM Triode"Nothing low end with those, Ravicchio, the LM Triodes are one of the best small tube amps ever, real classics. | |
| Esoteric K-01 and Aurender S10 compatibility By the way, JPlay does DSD.You're welcome, Jon47, that's what these forums are for, hoping that our own opinions will help others. | |
| Esoteric K-01 and Aurender S10 compatibility I build my own computers and follow CA daily. Any CAPS is surely better sounding than Mac Minis and the latest v3 (both computer and USB card battery-powered by one RWA Black Lightning) probably better than the S10 too (Chris Conaker believes so e... | |
| Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter This is a fascinating and important discussion. One thing nobody has brought up is what happens when a sudden blackout occurs. I'm sure at least some components could be damaged, and that means $$$ in high-end audio. That's when battery backup suc... | |
| Esoteric K-01 and Aurender S10 compatibility I don't see the need to complicate things going USB when the S10 is designed to directly connect via S/PDIF.Complementarily, you can build or purchase something like a CAPS computer (see the latest four designs at Computer Audiophile) and then hav... | |
| Anyone ever hear NTT Audio Lab speakers Wow! A great discovery for me. The larger ones certainly look similar to Wilsons, but nicer in my opinion. Yet another one for the short list while waiting for the lotto! | |
| Modern amp that has warmth and sound of B&K? I remember the sound of the B&K ST-140 and also the similar sounding Audionics CC-2 that I owned. For a similar sounding modern amp, try the Musical Fidelity M6PRX. |
