| Differences between cd transports? Welcome to the club! The club of frustration. There is no doubt that the transport can make a difference to the sound, because I just experienced that myself. (You'll see that others, even professional reviewers, find that the transport or file st... | |
| Is my DAC my weakest link? Up to a point I agree with reubent but... big but. With digital stuff it is different. Digital is a whole different ball game. Since the human ear is extraordinarily sensitive to anything that sounds un-musical, it can react to seemingly very mino... | |
| Proceed PDT 3/PDP 3 Good is good. I owned the PDT3 for years and years, finally one day it just died, the transport mechanism shot and can't be fixed. I'm in mourning because this beast really helped "perfect sound" (or close to it) to emit from my system and provide... | |
| Audioquest Diamond interconnects I've had only the AQ Diamondsx3, and liked them better than any other non-AQ interconnects. Interesting that only the first reviewer found them bright or edgy and no one else. I found them to be the opposite, so I would also ask along with others ... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Now this thread is going on 6 yrs old! I was out of audio for a while and now I can't afford hi-end stuff, but my sense is that CD players never really got good, I mean it's strange that you can't just buy any cheapo CD player from one of the big ... | |
| I'm depressed, my system hurts my ears.Please help No I would DEFINITELY agree 100% with Maraken and newbee that this is symptom of digitis -- the source is your CD player or more precise it is "jitter", the technical term -- well there's a very simple test, just, listen to some other source such ... | |
| Perpetual Technologies P1,P3, and Monolithic PS I also was not happy with a P1a that I bought used. I hooked it up with MSB Link Dac (to replace a DTI Pro). Yes I could hear tremendous detail but actually harsh sound, like jitter, and it changed the character of the Link Dac *completely*. From ... | |
| Sony 9000es with DAC annoying lock/unlock Both -Thanks but if you can't find anything it's not critical. At first I thought I would use the 9000 as transport but now I've decided I like my old other transport (a Proceed) for 2-channel and keep the 9000 just for DVD viewing. I like the dow... | |
| Sony 9000es DVD/CD/SACD Player as Transport? The original poster is probably long gone but I wanted to post an opinion on this too. The other day I tried my 9000ES as transport driving a Link Dac via an Audio Alchemy DTI Pro (the 9000 directly driving the Link Dac II was not a contender, the... | |
| Differences between Link 1, 2 and 3 DACs? Yes consider the inputs/outputs of the Monarchy. I don't think it has an AES/EBU output, whereas the Audio Alchemy DTI Pro (32) has one (and I've found that the Link Dac does ALWAYS benefit from jitter reduction). But with my Link Dac II, I found ... | |
| Sony DVP-S9000ES Availability??? All I know is I'm glad I got the 9000ES for about $1100 a few years ago -- with the 5 year warranty and all the goodies it's definitely WORTH buying a NEW one in this case (don't think the warranty is transferrable?). (It's usually WORTH getting a... | |
| What XLO digital cable do I have? I also have a green and purple speaker cable that I bought at Audiogon. I guess it must be the XLO Type 5, but is it Reference?? Who knows. there's no identification of model on it anywhere, but it is stiff and I think later models were advertised... | |
| Budget CD / DVD or D/A solution FYI that's MAGNUM Dynalab, not Magnan. | |
| Enacoms for bright speakers? Also David Magnan recommends the Enacom a/c device in his interesting article at www.magnan.com, see the "tweaks" section. But I haven't heard it yet. | |
| Review: Bryston B-60r Amplifier After comparing with different amps over the years -- I only owned the B60 for a year so far, but this is memory of the other amps -- the B60 is very musical. What does it mean, musical? To me, it is very good tonal quality, which means insight in... |
