| B&W Rip-Off Good One! | |
| Dac for Adcom System A better dac is a worthwhile investment probably in your case. I don't know the rest of your equipment though. Most dacs don't have XLR input but many do. They all do have a coax input though. The XLR digital output and inputs do the same thing as... | |
| How could you go wrong for $240.01? I'd give it a try. For that much money you don't have much to lose. I'm sure you're right that the same amp architectures are made and sold for far more money every day. | |
| Benchmark DAC 1 or Musical Fidelity Tri Vista? "No changes for the forseeable future in anything anywhere in my system."Yeah, you say this now but wait til next month! We know the disease around here well. | |
| any thoughts on the pioneer sx-939 receiver Actually a hundred for a 939 in good condition is about right. I have a mint Pioneer SX 780 and am looking to get some Dynaco A 25's for my computer room. The A 25's were my first hi fi speakers worth noting back in the early 70's. The 939 is thir... | |
| whats your idea of loud music. I like to be able to reproduce fairly loud listening levels when I want to. This means at least 200wpc. I also feel many people running low powered amps with average sensitivity speakers are more than likely clipping the amp once in a while, somet... | |
| Biggest bang: add Behringer or replace CDP? Brainwater: You're welcome. I just want to help and in this case I know by much experience that my opinion is more than likely the right one. After looking at your system I noticed that you have several which are very nice but nothing to help with... | |
| Biggest bang: add Behringer or replace CDP? I hadn't noticed your 1200 dollar budget. With the extra money you could get a Bel Canto Dac 2, Benchmark or any number of other dacs that are truly excellent. That combination is you best bet in my opinion. Even if you're very lucky to have a roo... | |
| Biggest bang: add Behringer or replace CDP? It's not even a contest. The Behringer will have much more of a positive improvement on your sound. Also the dac in it is the AKM 4393 which isn't bad. I seriously doubt the other two posters have used one. In my dedicated and fully treated listen... | |
| DAC under $550? I concur with that. The new dac from Dusty will be killer for a very reasonable price. | |
| Need help to buy a subwoofer? I'd buy a Vmps or M&K. A new Vmps has great bang for the buck and is why I became a dealer for them a few months ago. Do a search and check out the user reviews on audioreview.com. Also used M&K's here on Audiogon are great deals. Both of ... | |
| older dacs Channel Island audio will be releasing the VDA 2. A completely different dac which will no doubt be near SOTA. It's too much to go into here but check the Channel Island forum at audiocircle.com. Dusty said they should be ready by Christmas. He ha... | |
| CD Help If your amp is clipping the bass will become mushy and the mids and highs will sound hard. It's very easy to clip a small 100wpc amp. Where the volume control is means nothing as this can vary alot but I'm not going into why here. Suffice it to sa... | |
| HD radio and old antennas I wouldn't get too worried about hd radio as it looks as though there's not much demand for hd radio. Also it's really not HD but more like MP3's that have been compressed some more, in other words many stations quality will go down from bad. NPR ... | |
| Behringer SRC 2496 DAC The dac in my DEQ 2496 sounds excellent in my system which consists of:Krell KRC 3Innersound ESL ampVMPS RM 40 loudspeakersin a dedicated and thoroughly treated listening room. I too had thought I'd need an outboard dac but find the built in one v... |
