Keces 131.2 versus PS Audio Digital Link III
Great, thanks for the opinion Rotarius! I've decided to give the DLIII a try. 
Keces 131.2 versus PS Audio Digital Link III
Well I value detail retrieval, distinct placement, sound stage, and depth... this would be my top priority for upgrading.Would you say the DLIII would be an upgrade over the Keces in those regards? Which did you prefer overall in your system? 
Keces 131.2 versus PS Audio Digital Link III
I just looked for the review at 6moons. I found a couple articles talking of Keces, but no direct comparisons to the PS Audio. Perhaps I missed it... I often find the layout of the 6Moons site counter intuitive. 
Keces 131.2 versus PS Audio Digital Link III
@ Rotarius - Your the first person I've heard from that has sampled both the Keces and the PS Audio. I am thinking about selling my Keces in favor of a new PS Audio... is the DLIII a worthy upgrade to the Keces? Did you find it to be an upgrade ov... 
Passive preamp vs. powered
Wow, lots of responses - thanks for the input everyone.Am I off in my hypothesis that the input impedence on an amplifier would make all the difference in the world? I mean, as this varies, it will react differently to a given output level of the ... 
need suggestions for GMA C1 match
Right now I have a modified Yamaha M80... upgraded binding posts and power cord.It's nice... but upgrading from a 120wpc M40 to a 250wpc M80 seemed to yield zero difference in sound quality... at least at any SPLs that my ears could handle.So, I'm... 
ATI vs Yamaha
nobody knows? 
Is this clipping or just high SPL?
Ya... its all too relative to put definites on.I do think that I have been listening to my speakers very politely though... the other day I gave them a bit more power than usual and things weren't really loud or harsh, but just had more impact and... 
Is this clipping or just high SPL?
Thanks for the info Shadorne.I guess I would need to test my DB to get a sense of where I'm at. There are DB charts with examples scattered about, but I'm not sure how the loudness of these compares to that of a lawnmower from 3 feet away or that ... 
Is this clipping or just high SPL?
Gotcha - thanks guys.I just listened again at a slightly lower volume and worked my way back up... because this was driving me nuts.It sounds fine, actually... I think I'm just not used to playing at higher SPL's than what I'm used to... in fact I... 
Is this clipping or just high SPL?
Yup - "Time"...But the rated power handling of Green Mountain Audio Continuum 1s is around 200-250 watts I think... so I shouldn't even be close to distorting my tweeter or midrange with a Yamaha M-40 (120wpc) at 3/4 volume.. right? Any distortion... 
Is this clipping or just high SPL?
Hmm... tough to tell. The thing is the amp sounds great at that volume on any other recording I throw at it...Maybe this is a redundant question, but what exactly is room overload? Is it when the reflected sound is so strong that everything just t... 
Old Paradigm studios against new monitors?
Great - thanks a bunch for the info guys. 
Brown out
This isn't a consistent thing... in fact it's the first time it has happened here.I do use a pretty nice power conditioner / surge protector - a Furman elite 15i. This doesn't have any protection against a brown-out though, does it? It has an auto... 
Brown out
Most people have them now and then, right?I don't understand how they could damage something... something to do with heat build-up?
