| Verity Audio Parsifal vs. Aerial 10T I don't want to do the lead shot in the Vr4's and the Vr5's are out of my price range. Thanks for the thoughts, though. | |
| Upgrading to Totem Mani 2's Mani-2 on Totem four pillar stands, here.SimAudio Moon W-6 monoblocks (425 watts @ 8 ohms) wired with double run Kimber 8TC.They really sound wonderful. I've always lusted over Aerial 10Ts, though, so I sit listen and wonder. Bass is fast and deep... | |
| Cullen ZP-80 Mod and D-Link 3 mod A concern I had when deciding on a DAC to add to my Sonos system was if it had a volume control (like the Benchmark). You want the Sonos to be near the max volume setting to send the most accurate digital bits to your DAC. Thus, the DACs volume co... | |
| Building through the mail??? Just so you know, we were all there at one point in time.My advice would be to forget the subs. Use that money to put toward one of the other components (the amp would be my choice). Either buy speakers that give you everything mid-fi (PSB Stratus... | |
| which external hard disc for music storage? I'm happy using a NAS drive which gets backed up about every two months. Complete image of drive, no compression in my backup. I have a Buffalo Terastation Pro. Fan noise is too loud for me even though it's in a separate room. The fan is always ru... | |

| Sonos Questions I'm really more interested in Sonos adding support for higher resolution flac files. That would be my next digital jump, I think. I don't think Sonos is going to go there. I wonder if that is merely a firware upgrade to be able to happen? | |
| Sonos Questions Steve N.I hear what you are saying, but the Sonos engineers say the jitter is quite low. Will there be a big difference from outboard DAC to jitter corrected outboard DAC if jitter is quite low to start with? | |
| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings I agree with Strateahed, let's get this back on topic.What's MOST important is the recording/production/engineering quality of the solo piano CD. Please mention if it is classical, jazz, etc. Weight, depth, clarity, speed and lack of color here.As... | |
| help what is the current bestbang in PC audio ? Flac files on NAS storage sent computer-free to Sonos system. Digital out to Benchmark DAC directly to Sim Audio Moon W-6 monoblocks to Totem Mani-2's. The Sonos controller can't be beat. Every song/file at my fingertips instantly. I don't use a p... |
