| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC I have owned a Vac Sigma 160i integrated for 4 years. The tubes have not needed replacement during that time, and biasing the tubes needs to be done rarely, and literally takes a minute or two. It is a very simple procedure. Don't be concerned abo... | |
| Amarra a worthy investment? Thanks Steve, I'll get on this. | |
| Amarra a worthy investment? I have been using Amarra since '09 and have been mostly happy with it. I am using the current version, I may have to look into Steve's recommended older version that I surely had at one time. Steve, I assume that you are using the Amarra Symphony?... | |
| Who stay with Merlin longest time Hi Bobby, I had my superbam upgraded to the masterbam a while back (last year), was the cardas clear geometry stuff used at that time? | |
| Who stay with Merlin longest time Thuan, send those VSM-MXE's to me for safekeeping.BTW, I run my VSM-M's with a REL Storm III also. | |
| Who stay with Merlin longest time Bought my VSM-M's new in 2000, they are stock except for the addition of the Masterbam and Master RC network. Still running strong in the main listening room. | |
| Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers? Thanks Vladimir. I have to say that I can barely afford the Ultra ss version. If you have the Ultra 5's, all I can say is congrats! Tell me what they do for you, if you do have them. | |
| Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers? Thanks Heinrich. I'm looking forward to installing and evaluating the Stillpoints. I know you are already a believer! | |
| Stillpoints Ultra SS under your speakers? Thanks for your response. I know that the only way to really find out is to just put them on and see. I've had many conversations with Bobby in the past and have found him to be very helpful and knowledgeable. He also knows what works best for his... | |
| Cardas Cold Forging Well to me, it looks like a great termination process, and I have ordered my Golden Reference speaker cables with this termination. To those who doubt its benefits, don't have it done... | |
| Mac Mini Power Supply Congrats on building your power supply. I for one am convinced that proper power supplies can make a huge difference. For those not mechanically or technically inclined, Bolder Cable makes a nice ps for the mini. It's a bit pricey ($625.00). | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Thanks, I have a feeling your set-up might put mine to shame.I got my Wireworld Supernova 6 at GCAudio.com (Galen Carol Audio), they can also be had from The Cable Co. It sounds surprisingly good.Yep, Steve at GNSC is a good guy, I've had the oppo... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others I use the Oppo BDP-83 (non-SE version) for blu-ray as well. I don't use it as a cdp (I have a Wadia 860X w/GNSC Statement mods for that), but I do often watch and listen to music concert dvd's & blu-rays. I feed the Oppo's optical digital outp... | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Audiofun, you are indeed fortunate to have access to such high end digital gear to audition at home. Count me as a happy Weiss Dac2/Amarra/mac mini owner (at the moment), but I'm enjoying your observations and comparisons. I have a feeling the MSB... | |
| Cardas Clear USB cable... anyone tried it? I had a Locus Design Axis usb cable, it was VERY good. It's pricey too, but to me it was worth it. I changed dacs to a firewire dac and no longer needed a usb cable or I would still have it. |
