| Yes,another DAC question Lol. Spend half of that on a computer/dac combo and get better sound than any cdp, and give the rest to feed the homeless. | |
| Is theRega Saturn a major upgrade over the Apollo Don't know if this helps but.....back in the day, I owned both the 2000 Planet and then the Saturn. The Planet blew away the more expensive Saturn and I wasn't the only one who thought that. Not just in my system, but someone I spoke with over the... | |
| Are CD players dead Pettyofficer: Very interesting and scary theory. As nice as it is, I don't necessarily need hi-rez. In fact, 100% of my music is redbook. One would hope that if cds are abolished, sites would still have uncompressed material for sale. One would ho... | |
| Are CD players dead Pettyofficer: This is just my opinion but....don't confuse the "death of cd players" with the "death of cds". Don't assume that the only way people get music into their computers is via downloading. We don't need cd players, we just need the cds t... | |
| BEST TUBE PREAMP FOR NUFORCE 9 V2 SE ?? The input impedance on the 9 V2 SE is 45K ohms and the voltage sensitivity is 2.5V (I think). Keep these numbers in mind when shopping for a tube preamp. Since your looking for an active preamp, you should be fine with the Nuforce's 2.5V sensitivi... | |
| Crimson Speaker Cables? I originally had my speaker cable run as a bi-wired configuration. IMO, the Crimsons are a ridiculously good cable at a price which is a fraction of many others (which don't sound as good). | |
| Crimson Speaker Cables? I use the Crimson interconnects and speaker cables. They simply are the best cables I've had in my system. They replaced my Kimber Kable Selects and My Nordost Tyrs. | |
| Cheap DAC w/ volume control for direct amp input? Burson HA-160. Loved it. $1,250 new. | |
| Are CD players dead Fusion10: In my opinion, the sales of cds don't necessarily mean that the sales of cd PLAYERS will continue. Think about it. When you have a hard drive based system you're putting the music into your computer by either downloading from the net, or... | |
| Will Vincent "Dynaco" Amps Will Vincent is Autospec. | |
| Best treatment for speaker feet???? Nsgarch: Interesting opinion. I respectfully disagree about the spikes. The flooring makes sense though. | |
| Are CD players dead I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with you PO. Popping in a cd is obviously easier than setting up a server/dac system. You have to admit thought, things sure look like they will go the computer/dac route....right? | |
| Best treatment for speaker feet???? I would stay away from granite. IMO, you need to ABSORB, not REFLECT. What I believe happens with granite for example, is the drivers move causing vibrations in the cabinet. Those vibrations travel down the cabinet, through the spikes, into the gr... | |
| Does your amp/preamp/int amp have to look good? Back when I had all EAR equipment I used to just look at the rack, with the music off. It was that beautiful to me. Now they're gone. While EAR stuff sounds great, it's really overpriced, IMO. Oh well... | |
| Are CD players dead You just don't get it. I have no problem with someone who disagrees with me. Quite the contrary in fact. I WELCOME a difference of opinion, but take a look a some of the endless rants PO has made and tell me he is not on something. |
