| PC audio tweaks? I just got an iMac GT connected by a stock usb cable to a Wavelength Brick USB dac. It sounds great -- way better than my Exemplar/Denon that it replaced. Both units sit on my Samson rack, and the DAC is plugged into my BPT power conditioner. (The... | |
| Cerious cables - Proper setup and run in time REgarding hum, FWIW. I have a pair of CT interconnects. When connected between my EXemplar CD player and preamp, no hum. When I demo'd the Wavelength Brick DAC instead of the Exemplar, yes hum. When I popped in Nirvana SL interconnects into the la... | |
| To upgrade cd player?? The slippery slope? You can't go wrong with a Rotel -- I just checked their site & they have a couple of models at $499. I've had a used Rotel for 5 years -- dependable & great sounding. If you want to spend a little more ($599) check out upscaledaudio.com fo... | |
| Lindemann D680, how does it sound? I've had the Lindemann for about 4 weeks now, and am only starting to get an appreciation for what it can do. REgrettably, I have never heard the Zanden, DCS or any of the other current "champs" of digital reproduction. The Lindemann follows in my... | |
| any tried Still Points? I tried the Still Points under my Berning Siegfried 300B amp, and they made a significant difference in the sound, for the better. Greater harmonic richness, soundstaging and "blackness" of the background. I haven't done A/B tests with other produ... | |
| Problems getting the best out of my Berning I have to second R Hirsch's comments about the Stillpoints under the Berning. I put them under my Siegfried and the improvements were big time. I won't repeat all of the praise, but they are a very cost-effective upgrade. They are also user friend... | |
| NOS vs used tubes I would suggest contacting Andy Bouwman at Vintagetubeservices.com He will deliver you some of the most straight-shooting, best-informed, non-BS opinions on the subject. | |
| Integrated Amp for Girlfriend? It may not have tubes or the required "coolosity" but Creek makes some of the best products in the price range. | |
| Anyone know anything about the new Dodson 218 DAC? I've just heard scuttlebutt that the price is about $7k and it's due out this summer. | |
| Shoot-out I would like to see - Berning ZH270 vs. I have to agree with TWL. The Berning Siegfried, after 12+ yrs in this hobby, has blown me away to a place I thought I was too jaded to experience anymore. (I'm using the 300b model, w/ Avantgarde Duos). I haven't heard Atma Sphere gear, or even t... |
