| Windows Media Player I have something here that you may want to try. In a previous post, I recommend that you give Linux a try because a lot of people (including myself) seem to be having good results with regards to sound quality. Instead of going about it the way I ... | |
| Pls recommend preamp for Merlin/Rogue/Wadia setup I am familiar with Wadia CD players. I have a 302 and a 861. If you have a $1000 budget, new or used, I wouldn't recommend getting a preamp. In that price range, nothing will come remotely close to the sound you get from driving your amp directly ... | |
| VPI SDS Factory Voltage Setting Question As long as it spins at the right speed I wouldn't worry about it. | |
| cable burning Thats why you should never buy cables first. As for explaining what happened, that's easy; something is not working properly and caused a failure. | |
| amp improvement ? 2 questions for you. 1. How are you going about upgrading your power supply? 2. When you listen to your amp, what about it leads you to believe that you have a signal to noise issue and not something else? | |
| Entry Level Turntable-- Preamp Matching It sounds like you are pretty happy with what you have now. I wouldn't be so fast to change it. If you are listening to music, thats all that matters. One thing I will ad given your statement about the phono preamp making a big difference. You're ... | |
| Which DAC is better? I think all 3 choices are very good. Ayre happens to be my favourite in solid state electronics. Naturally, that would be my first choice. I've also had Arcam CD players. Both products sound great, but they are very different from each other. Arca... | |
| Windows Media Player Almarg,Your post provides a lot of really useful tips. I have a question that you might know the answer to. Have you ever tried any type of line conditioner with a computer and external drives? Given that computers are not really made for high end... | |
| Windows Media Player I can give you some options to try. For windows, you can download a free program called Foobar2000. It does look a little dated but it is very feature rich and reliable. Some may perfer other programs, but you should be able to get everything you ... | |
| McCormack vs. BAT Tswlsla,If you check my last post, I recommend a couple of choices you might like. After reading your last post, however, I don't think you should buy anything at this point'; even the stuff I recommend. It's clear that you want some type of chang... | |
| Whats more important, source cables or amp cables? The way you are going about this is almost a guaranteed fail. I like what Almarg has to say in his post. I will simply add that if you buy cables on recommendations alone and not demo them in your system, you're nuts. | |
| Next Upgrade Help Since its your money you will be spending, what do you think the weakest link in the system is? I'm sure you will get some good recommendations, but in the end, you need to play an active part in the selection. If you don't and just go by other pe... | |
| McCormack vs. BAT Ton Hankins makes a good point. Personally, I've always felt that the preamp is more important to get right than the amp. That's why I asked about the "power" issue as a matter of actual power or power in terms of sound quality. Given that your cu... | |
| CD direct to monobloks? With regards to digital volume controls, I have some info that may be of value. I have been a long time Wadia user and have had several players; all of which have dig vol. I wanted to really find out how big the difference in sound quality is when... | |
| McCormack vs. BAT When you say that you need a little more power in the mid and treb, I'm not sure as to what you mean. Your A21 should be very powerful. Are you talking actual power from the amp or, possibly, power in relation to sound quality? |
