| Rubidium Clock Thanks for the great info. I will need to try one of those. | |
| USB to SPDIF Converters Try the JK mk 3 when funds allow. It is much better than the V-Link. BTW - I have confirmed at MF UK that V-Link and V-Link II are identical when it comes to internal design. The only difference is different box. | |
| audiophilleo 2 Having heard both AP and JK mk3 I can echo Eugene81 on the differencies between the two. JK is smoother and more analog like, where AP is more vivid and more resolving. Adding the PurePower battery PSU greatly improves the AP and I think that in t... | |
| ARS Acoustica rank on some best lists. Any else? I have heard them during the HiFi Show in London twice, and then in the friend's system.They were driven by Trilogy 958 amps, and at the time I thought they sounded fantastic ... much better than the WP of the. | |
| VTL TP 2.5 vs Manley Chinook phono stage It was for my father's system. Did not have the chance to compare it to any copeting preamp but his budget project tube box - it is much better than the little Czech box, no contest. | |
| Krell KPS 20i/l 5 Point Magnetic Clamp Puck Worst case scenario - pick up any nonworking CDM-9Pro CDP player / transport (Theta Data Basic, PS Lambda etc) and retrive the origial Philips clamp.I have seen once an original clamp for sale on agon ... you may try posting a wonted ad. | |
| Anthem 225 vs Krell S300I With 86-87db efficient speaker, the noise will not be an issue. In fact, it wa not an issue with my Sashas, which are 91dB efficient. | |
| How to avoid being scammed? Bank wire transfer is BY FAR the safest option for you. Checks can bounce as long as six months after they were supposedly 'cleared', and PayPal transfer can be easily reversed.I never use PayPal on any of my sales above $1000, and I strongly reco... | |
| USB reclocker pecking order? V-Link I and V-link II are basicly identical - the only difference beeing a different case. I had confirmed this info @ MF. V-Link II is $189 from Amazon and other online sources.There is no V-Link III. The one that sells for $399 is called V-Link... | |
| VTL TP 2.5 vs Manley Chinook phono stage Already bought the Chinook. Thanks ! | |
| Hypex Ncore NC400 Anyone ? | |
| Recommended USB- SPDIF converter for Metrum Octave Devilboy - I had the same issue with HiFace 2 in my system (PC server running Win 7/64 + Jriver 17 + Jplay), but changing the buffer size from 1 to 2 samples, solved the problem.dCS U-Clock and Stello U3 - which are also XMOS chip based designs, j... | |
| Recommended USB- SPDIF converter for Metrum Octave Eugene81 - maybe the brightness you were experiencing with the AP1 was a system voicing issue ?The JK SPDIF mk 3 is indeed smoother sounding tha AP1. However, in my system, the JK SPDIF was actually too laidback, lacking in sparkle and ultimate mi... | |
| Ticking noise in Audio Research Reference CD7 Yes, it is plug and play. | |
| Recommended USB- SPDIF converter for Metrum Octave I have tried all converters mentioned here with my Metrum Octave DAC (AP1, Off Ramp 5, JK SPDIF 3). IMO The AP2, possibly with the optional battery PSU (which I have yet to try), represents the best value-for-money BY FAR. |
