| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade "I do hope that the OP comes back to the thread as I didn't like how I answered him originally and I'm sorry for that. This thread is a good one and I tend to keep it that way. He taught me a great lesson about jumping to conclusions that most of ... | |
| Rip LP's to Digital If you are just looking to make CD's and MP-3's for your ipod, the solution is very simple. All you need to buy is a traditional component type CD burner. You would connect it to the tape input and tape loop on your C1, and it will work just like ... | |
| Rip LP's to Digital Can you list your system? | |
| Cambridge Audio Azur 851N "07-14-15: LalitkI own a Classe CA-2200 amp. My goal is to get better dynamics out of digital music. The sound from Olive and Sonos is pretty dull and flat on most music. I may try some hi-res (DSD) downloads in near future. But for now, it's pret... | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade "That would also go for the bass problems. I have a feeling that the speaker was knocked out of whack somehow."There's a really good chance that the dealer wired the bass speaker cables out of phase with each other. They do it all the time. | |
| Cambridge Audio Azur 851N I think you need to define what better means. I may think something is better, but you may hate it. Also, you don't list an amp. It would be helpful to know what it is.I'm assuming that your goal is to get better 2 channel sound for music. If that... | |
| What is the best usb convertor If I needed one, I would try the Empirical Audio Off-Ramp. It has lots of features and options. If you don't like it, they give a full refund. | |

| Scratches on acrylic platter Clearaudio Emotion "Just another question, Zd542: when you say that alcohol will destroy acrylic, what will it do exactly? Change the texture of it, I guess, or create spots on it?"Its not subtle. Alcohol dissolves/breaks down acrylic. I should have been more clear.... | |
| SACD transport for W4S DAC2 DSD SE? "Regarding a standalone SACD player, what would you suggest in an SACD/CD only stereo player, with XLR outputs, that would offer DAC performance comparable to my outboard DAC?"There's really no way to answer that in general terms. You need to go b... | |
| Some Musical Truths 1. There may be no stupid questions, but there are stupid people.2. The preamp is the most important piece in an audio system. | |
| Are Klipsch or Usher and Upgrade for Me? Avgoround, here's your new best friend. You guys already have 1 thing in common. You both have an extreme dislike for me. Although, and I can't believe I'm even saying this, but you have better taste in audio equipment. | |
| SACD transport for W4S DAC2 DSD SE? The only transport I can think of is the dcs Verdi. And one of those may not be easy to find. Also, someone mentioned I2S. You need to be careful, especially if you have older equipment that supports it. Not everyone uses the same connectors. It w... | |
| Amp pairing for Sierra 2 bookshelves and Vtf-1 Mk2 Its not what the Sys will do, its what it won't to. To make a good sounding active line stage is difficult and costs a lot more money than what your budget allows. The reason for the high cost is due to the fact that the lower the signal voltage, ... | |
| Amp pairing for Sierra 2 bookshelves and Vtf-1 Mk2 For an even bigger increase in sound quality, you can get a Sys passive for $50 and a regular power amp. Not having a cheap active line stage in the signal path will make a huge difference. |
