| Ladder Schumann DAC Warning Yes I second that -- this is exactly the kind of info buyers need. Buyers beware! This seller has no presence, no storefront, in America, you are ordering from China. It’s hard to resolve problems and shipping costs a bundle. So people should be ... | |
| Proceed PDT 3/PDP 3 A little more info, just for the curious among you. On the Dac side, it was an MSB Link Dac, de-jittered via an Audio Alchemy DTI, which I’m still using for Redbook sources by the way (DTI had to be repaired once by Dusty Vawter).I think of the DT... | |
| Another Analog v. Digital Thread? Not Really For one, there was the whole "progress" thing. When CD came along, the selling slogan was "Perfect sound forever". And eveeryone discovered that the sound was far from perfect, so far from it. But then the high-end marketers came along and pro rev... | |
| The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance I’m not as savvy as some here about electricity (such as atdavid) but a few things. One, a reviewer once suggested that you can often improve by defeating the ground of any power cord. In other words, use one of those cheater plugs or yank out the... | |
| Want a streaming device without DAC in $1K range I also have the Bryston but BDP-1, nabbed it for about $700, and it's pretty good after suitable break-in (funny that it seemed to take a couple 100 hours??) and tweaks. Of course you need a good Dac. The BDP-1 definitely vanquishes jitter so it's... | |
| Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand? Comment #2: I don't think you can assume that players today are better than those of 20 years ago at a roughly similar price point. Companies like Madrigal, Mark Levinson, were driven to produce fantastic players in the new field. Today? I'm not s... | |
| Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand? From how the question is phrased, I'm sure that Faust understands that disc spinners can break down, so I'm definitely in the camp of being reluctant to buy these -- for one thing, you just simply don't know how many hours are on it. I had a wonde... | |
| Bel Canto Dac 3 Have the 3.0 and I concur that power is important. The 3.0 sounds better with a good power cable over the stock power cord, so therefore I'd assume that a dedicated power supply helps -- obviously that's why Bel Canto offers one although I do not.... | |
| Audience Au-24 vs. Empirical Design Cable Review Just a quick note -- I did just have a chance to audition a pre-owned ED digital cable, an S/PDIF, not sure of model but I think it's tagged "Alpha", cost $150 new. I liked it. I've owned an ED AES/EBU cable for years running into my Dac. So it... | |
| PayPal Frustration/Issue Heads-Up I already have a support ticket in to Audiogon for this but I want to ask the community also: I'm trying to sell a product, and, to set up to allow Paypal payment, I need to verify my account. I did that, following all instructions, so in Paypal i... | |
| Paypal issues through Audiogon I use to buy/sell on Audiogon years ago but much has changed. For one, it irritates me that they don't allow you to accept payment except through Paypal -- not by cashier check which they use to. Okay but the major issue, when I try to set up Payp... | |
| Marantz HD CD 1 Awesome Transport Thanks for your review. How is the bass? | |
| Bryston B60 - Is it worth it? Belated comments: Superlative midrange and treble. Especially midrange. Bass? Well you can't have perfection for this price (or for the price it retailed for 15 years ago). The preamp stage is excellent. But, if you are so inclined, you'll fin... | |
| Why do Cyrus get such praise from What HiFi??? And I do agree about the jitter-reduction, it usually helps to improve any sort of transport-dac rig; I've had an Audio Alchemy Dti Pro for now almost 20 years (Rev. 2.7) and it is a miracle. Now there are some other versions from Emperical Audio ... | |
| Why do Cyrus get such praise from What HiFi??? Thanks appreciate the posts here esp. about Cyrus Cd t. I was also considering this transport but the insight here about quality issues has put the damper on that idea. |
