| I need a new DAC! Advice/Recommendations? No DSD but if you're looking for something made in-house with QC then take a look at Shiit (http://schiit.com/) - especially the multibit models if you listen to mostly CDs. | |
| UL gets into the music quality / branding market LOL ... Ears? We don't need no stinking ears! We have a test bench. (apologies to Mel Brooks). | |
| UL gets into the music quality / branding market I hear they reincarnated Julian Hirsch just for this project! | |
| dinosaur ISO player... @24phun The Oppos I've experienced were unbelievable values, but still not as good as really quality playersGiven the players mentioned in your original post, that's why I listed the modded version rather than suggesting an unmodded model.Another... | |
| dinosaur ISO player... What about an upgraded Oppo like this one (not affiliated with the seller).https://www.audiogon.com/listings/da-converters-exemplar-tube-oppo-105-with-every-upgrade-2017-06-20-digital | |
| Modifying my Mark Levinson 332 for a unique visual experience I'm sure you're going to keep it but I don't think you hurt the resale value at all. It's beautiful and I can't imagine anyone else not thinking so too. Dick | |
| I have a blown driver and I'm not sure what to do Scott, a search for "download test tones" will turn up a bunch of sites. http://www.testsounds.com/ is just one of many. I'd start with a tone that is close to the middle of the range handled by the affected driver and see if I got any output. ... | |
| I have a blown driver and I'm not sure what to do Scott, pink or white noise might do the trick but a better test would be a set of frequency sweep tones. Unhook the speaker that you think is ok and play the set of tones that should be covered by the driver in question (be careful of the volume)... | |
| METHOD TO HOOK UP PHONE'S AMAZON MUSIC, PANDORA, ETC. TO CIRCA 1978 RECEIVER +1 on reubent's bluetooth receiver option. I use this on my office system at work and it's fine. With bluetooth you can control it from across the room and don't have to mess with cables. The one I have plugs directly into an AC outlet and has ... | |
| I have a blown driver and I'm not sure what to do Check with Madisound (https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/ under the Madisound Services tab) to see if it might be repairable.I'm sure that this has occurred to you but, if they didn't get blown at the same time (and possibly even if they did),... | |
| Time for Two Ways ! Erik,I wouldn't say I'm a "two-way only" kind of guy. But I moved from Vandersteen 3a sigs to Merlin MXes when we changed houses and the listening room got smaller. Bass is impressive for a speaker of its size (although not nearly in the same le... | |
| Any Imelda May fans out there @mcondo After discovering her I watched some of the YouTube videos of her performances. As I said, I'd love to see her in concert!@mofimadness Yeah, I wish I'd found her earlier. However, as much as I liked Tribal (and the earlier albums too), I... | |
| Any Imelda May fans out there @ozzy I was thinking the same thing. If you do, let me know what you think. | |
| Any Imelda May fans out there @frogman My daughter actually brought her to my attention when Tribal came out - said she thought I would like her. Like you, I've never been into rockabilly much but her lyrics seem to have a little more depth than you usually find in the genre.... | |
| Audiophile quality streamer/server-in-one without a DAC. Does this exist? @bubba12 - I think the only one *with* a DAC is the A10. All the rest are just player/servers (apart from the little headphone amp/DAC and the Pre/Power/DAC combo). They get pretty pricey though. :)@joshelton - I wish I did have one. Still drea... |
