| Sonus Faber Grand Piano vs. ProAc 2.5 Speakers Hey, keep one of each - see if we care! ;^) | |
| Any electronics wizards? Tube problem with RM-9 Reading of your experience had greatly modified my opinion of Mr. Modjeski - maybe he can't or won't really try to do the repairs (bad enough), but he should at least be honest about it...this is just ridiculous. Since the amp apparently requires ... | |
| Criminy, I've reached 300 threads Recently doubled the total I started this thread with...too bad I can't update the title... :-) | |
| best monitor available? El: I consider it unwise policy to make fun of dragons (just ask that guy Sharon Stone took to the zoo... :-) | |
| Clarification for a newb, DACs and other stuff too I'm not sure what you mean about your DAC having "Signal" and "DAT" inputs - my IIIa just has coaxial S/PDIF (RCA - two provided), balanced AES/EBU (XLR), and Toslink digital inputs (not counting the digital monitoring loop input, also on RCA, and... | |
| Tubes v. SS: can you mix and match? OK, I'll put my unqualified neck on the chopping block...Webnick: It's the ratios, not the absolute values involved, that matter most. Convention says that there should be a factor of at least 10X between the output impedance of the soucre compone... | |
| MSB Link III DAC - The Right Way to Go? Just used as a CD converter for a dedicated transport, I ultimately did not prefer the sound of the Gold Link (the highest model in the Link line) + P1000 that I bought last year, choosing instead to hang on to my much-older-yet Theta DSPro Basic ... | |
| Tubes v. SS: can you mix and match? The main parts of your question have been answered (The first rule is that there are no rules! - I am running SS preamplification with tube power amplification right now), so I'll try to answer your last question. The only real qualification that ... | |
| best monitor available? Tim, are we now classifying any 2-way speaker as a "monitor"? The Kharmas I thought are floor-standers, and I associate the designation with small-to-medium stand-mounts (at least as we audiophiles have bastardized the term; in a recording studio,... | |
| Clarification for a newb, DACs and other stuff too Many older DAC's, including my own DSPro Basic IIIa, will decode 48KHz sample-rate inputs, because that was the DAT standard. Not that I can promise yours will work with the output from your DVD player when playing DVD's (there could be other comp... | |
| Loading times / problems on Agon ??? Occasional instances of sticky page transitions I've noticed have occurred when trying to access Member Log In, My Page, and after clicking Submit on the forums. | |
| Predictions about effects of new feature This function has been around for a long time - I guess you just didn't notice it. But as Albert notes, the chisled stone remains eternal for everyone but the last word. Many's the time I decided a little editing after posting was in order, only t... | |
| Help, I'm going crazy with vinyl noise Herman, assuming you've reversed or swapped-out all the connectors (including headshell leads) as a diagnostic precaution, I would have to guess that since what you changed was the pre-preamplifier/preamplifier chain, you might have engendered a s... | |
| Loading times / problems on Agon ??? Yes, I've had a few problems like this recently, but nothing that ended a session - usually hitting refresh fixed it. It's also not the first time I've encountered such delays here, but again, for the most part they've been minor enough to ignore ... | |
| Dynavector DV-507 Mk II ? Yeah, but you won't look that cool for twice the money... :-) |
