| What Is Best Monoblocks For Around $10,000 Used? Boulder 1060 should be in that price range. | |
| Best Dac/Transport Under 50,000 Boulder 2020 DAC with dCS Verdi transport is the best I have heard. Same DAC with the Spectral transport was too detailed. full dCS stack wasn't quite as good. It's all analog in the end, and many digital pieces overlook the analog sections. I hav... | |
| Cool Amps Needed for Eggleston Savoy's HVAC. Instead of spending more money on audio gear, add some air conditioning to the room. A small dedicated outdoor compressor, and an indoor air-handler. True Class A amps run warm, but nothing sounds as good. | |
| Anyone compared McIntosh mc252 and mc352? what speakers are you trying to drive? if they are floor standers, they will probably benefit from the larger of the two (i'm not a flea power SET fan). My MC352 runs out of steam before my Aerial 10T's run out of dynamic range (granted at high SP... | |

| Meridian Help For DolbyDigital, DTS, and ProLogic decoding, you want to use the Meridian, fed with a digital input. The 568.1 does not have any analog pass thru ability, not even for two channel. Therefore, I would never supply the 568.1 with an analog signal. ... | |
| High end cdp with Meridian equip The 568 does not have any analog pre-amp capabilities. It digitizes all of the analog inputs. Therefore, a high end CD player (via its analog outputs) would be a waste with a Meridian 568. The 568 only supports single ended analog inputs anyway.On... | |
| Is the Meridian 568 still good in 2005 The 568 is an all digital box. It does have a DAC and a digital volume control. Not sure if the 861 has an analog volume control or not. | |
| Is the Meridian 568 still good in 2005 I have been usung my 568.1 since Feb 2000. It still sounds fantastic, and has all the functionality you will need for 90% of all pre/pro applications (DD,DTS,ProLogic decoding, along with pre-amp).The only question I would have, and this applies t... | |
| what amp. to power areial 10-t speakers The 10t's i own sound best when driven with authority. The McIntosh MC352 i use now is "adequate", probably the same as the CA-300. I have heard the 10t's driven by larger Levinson mono's....wow. I have also listened to the CAM350's, but with non-... | |
| Will Wadio ever make an SACD player? the days of actually owning physical media are numbered. the future is all about subscription services and premium service levels. the software owners have nothing to gain by distributing 5" optical disks, the profit margins aren't very good excep... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? Rsbeck,have you evaluated the G4 with a spdif output into the EMM?i am curious to know if better results can be obtained using a PC HD based transport as a source for a good audio DAC like my Wadia.AudioEng,curious to know which transports you aar... | |
| Dunlavy question I currently own both the SC-IVa's and the SC-V's. Both are very good. The V's are just a little bit better in every respect.BUT, they are bigger, 300+ lbs, and love power despite their efficiency. If you don't have a large room with 9+ ft ceilings... | |
| Wadia Owner - with or without preamp i have been told, that when using a pre-amp, it is important to set the Wadia's output level low enough such that you are using the higher end of the analog pre-amps volume control.it was posited that pre-amps will generally sound best up near (ap... | |
| Halo A51 transformer hum...Need power conditioner? A DC filter may be what is required. The inductance of the trani is a short to even tiny amounts of DC voltage on the line side, and it causes the trani to hum, because the low DC impedance will cause a large DC current. There are plenty of DC blo... |
