| Best cables to be used for pass labs X250.5, XP10 They're saying Spring for the 1.7? That's good to hear. | |
| Choosing a new turntable I will add the SOTA to my list as well as the Gyro SE. I don't find the Gyro unattractive although my tastes tend to run toward more traditional looks. If I could own any table based on its appearance, it would be one of the Spiral Grove tables or... | |
| Choosing a new turntable There are many positive comments about the sound of the Amadeus, although for some reason it seems to often be paired with a $9K cart. It looks good but somewhat tweaky and a bit strange to me (tiny wires, golf ball) but I need to get some hands-o... | |
| Ayre QB-9 USB DAC AES/EBU is just balanced S/PDIF.Ayre's asynchronous USB implementation is courtesy of the software written by Gordon Rankin of Wavelength Audio, which Ayre licensed. dCS also has a true asynchronous USB implementation and apparently Resolution Aud... | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus Thanks guys! | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus Besides Jim Pendleton, are there any other US dealers for the WTA? | |
| purchasing a Scout/Scoutmaster: need input please I believe Albert Porter's project is based on the SP10, which is quite different from the current 1200 models. But perhaps the 1200 is unfairly damned as a DJ table. | |
| CES 2010 and THE SHOW The Venetian's floors were a lot bigger than the Flamingo's -- three wings per floor, each smaller than the Flamingo, but still. | |
| Bryston BDA-1 DAC, any thoughts? I use the Empirical Audio Offramp to convert USB to SPDIF.Cerrot, I think it's a meaningful upgrade from the Benchmark. It's not as good as the Berkeley (which I have only auditioned in other systems) but I don't have an opinion on whether the Ber... | |
| Bryston BDA-1 DAC, any thoughts? I have one. It doesn't have a remote volume control, you must use it with a preamp.I prefer it to several DACs I owned previously, including the Benchmark, Lavry and Bel Canto. The USB input is not good, however. I use an external USB -> SPDIF ... | |
| Linn LP12 ..still a good table?? Thanks Gordon. | |
| My Line Arrays and Dynaudio monitor - where to go Xti16 -- to answer your question, I bought my C1s used, so I don't think it a break in issue. | |
| Linn LP12 ..still a good table?? Any recommendations for a Linn setup person in the SF Bay Area? The last Linn TT dealer here that I know of, Access to Music, has closed. | |
| Linn LP12 ..still a good table?? And if it's the very best, Syntax, how come you don't have one in either of your systems? | |
| My Line Arrays and Dynaudio monitor - where to go I have C1s and, when I first got them, also had Nuforce 9SE v2. I thought the two were not a good match and I sold the Nuforce. You may feel differently, and perhaps v3 will do the trick. I don't remember the specifics, but it just didn't sound ri... |
