transport DAC incompatibility?
...right-on the voltage is not enough. inside the one-box CD players the DAC chips are matched to the output whilist the digital output itself might not be appropriate. you might contact the manufacturer and state the problem. in the digital case ... 
Change needed at Audiogon
I have a Question to all participating in this discussion members about Verification.Is the verification process similar to paypal that you have to verify your bank account?If Yes than I will stay Unverified due to the unsolved security issues on ...

Ambient / New Age Anyone?
...just want to remind to all ambient lovers that Roedelius is a member of german ambient project CLUSTER along with Moebius and Plank.I used to have one of Cluster's latest albums "One Hour" which means one track on CD that lasts exactly one hour... 
Change needed at Audiogon
Patrick, I do not get how non-member can get your e-mail from your a'gon userid? I assume that you also have an ebay account and certainly there the non-audiogon ebay members can get your e-mail.Audiogon has certainly huge number of "holes" of a d... 
What do you think about this idea for the FORUMS??
i'm sorry to jump a-little aside from that topic. there are a large number of things that must be done to improve and there are some negative things have been done so far while i'm using this site.-- somehow audiogon became much slower than it use... 
Upsampling put to "THE TEST": R U ready 2 take it?
Ohh!! that GamuT CD-1... Excellent machine!...but still it's one-box with perfectly matched transport and DAC i believe and it's still not a turntable... 
Cartridge output matching to phono stage.
You're getting some number approx 10^2*sqrt(10) which gives you approx 300 times and doing wrong nothing. So you're getting an approx output voltage of 240mV. Now you should check specs of your preamp in terms of input sencitivity which has to be ... 
Upsampling put to "THE TEST": R U ready 2 take it?
Whewwwhhh! I finally ended reading but with curiosity and from top to bottom THANKS!I knew you would stand towards "Former Heavy Weight Champs".I believe that you was someway wrong comparing MSB Gold with Theta DSPro Basic III. You've mention a di... 
4 Ohm vs. 8 Ohm, what does it mean.....
Nice article, Sean there is only something I wanted to add that SS amps in all logical sence do require deep negative feedback that increases an output impedance and thus creates an addtional voltage drop while in tube case the negative feedback i... 
Downsizing advice
i'm with suggestions for plinius 8200 that has a well-controlled bass and tube-like mids and highs. you can also get it used for $1.5k and be surprise how good this unit for the price and how can it beat separates. 
Joseph Audio Speakers never show up used
Cdc, I heard each of Joseph's(RM33 or Pearl) only once and only with one setup. Maybe I should listen to Nautilus 802 with Manley electronics later somewhere since Manley electronics are always true for me. I realy don't know how to describe the w... 
4 Ohm vs. 8 Ohm, what does it mean.....
Rockead, it all depends on where larger current is drown. larger current is drown through the 4 Ohm and smaller is through the 8 Ohm. More resistance creates smaller current and thus creates "easier load" The heaviest load thus is a short circuit(... 
Joseph Audio Speakers never show up used
I heard RM33 and I heard Pearl. These are two so different speakers. RM33 are overvalued and shouldn't have the offered price of $7k. I didn't find anything successfull or even positive in these speakers except look and shiny Cardas binding posts ...
