The setup was not optimal yet it was easily the best sound I've heard from a digital source (I'm an analog guy). The alpha DAC was being used only as a converter for a Cd... | |

| Dynaudio C1 + Mcintosh 275 amp, do they match? I'm driving my C1's beautifully with a "50 Watt" EL34-based Lectron tube amp. Prior to owning my Lectron, I was driving the C1's with a Simaudio I-7 Solid State (150 Watt) Integrated Amp.I've had no problems driving the C1's with either or these a... | |

| 12 inch tonearms RE: damaged review sampleI'd be happy to take the damaged review sample off your hands ;-).Seriously, though, I read the review and thought the reviewer didn't have a clue. His only negative comments appear to come from the fact that the Schroeder... | |
| Stupid?? Phono Pre question...break in I found that mine (Gold Reflex) required more than just leaving it on for 72 hours. Mine gradually and continually sounded better after listening for about 3 weeks.I also tried speeding up the burn-in process by hooking up my CD player to the phon... | |
| Best USB DAC implimenting I2S under $2.5K? The Musical Fidelity X-DACv8 has a USB port (I2S?) input on its DAC. This DAC is well below US$2500.I evaluated this very combination (MacBook Pro as a transport feeding a MF X-DACv8) a few months ago hoping that the sound would be able to replace... |
