| Sound of chip amps / gainclones? Do you think I could put a current version of Peter Daniels Patek amps (in the 100WPC SE mono configuration--as written about in 6Moons) behind my VR4JR's and a long run (20 ft.) of speaker wire? I have a Modwright preamp.Thanks, | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? I have been reading about this speaker and am very curious about them--I have been in serious experimentation mode for the past 6 months with my stereo. That said, I don't change speakers lightly and would demo these before I ever sold my VR4JR's.... | |
| Best preamp is no preamp: always true? I lived with a Sonic Euphoria passive pre between my Pass amp and my Dodson DAC. It was incredibly transparent and revealing. It showed me just how good the Dodson and Pass are. That said, I preferred the sound of my system with the Modwright prea... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Does music have a soul? | |
| Starting From Scratch - What would you do? I agree with the post about beginning with the speakers. If you are not happy with those you will not be happy with the rest of the system. Begin with the speakers you love and work backwards from there. | |
| Need Advice on a DAC for my Music Server? Here is an article that I think does a nice job of explaining things. I am not sure who's point it supports I just think it is great information.http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue22/nugent.htmHere is another good link that, if I recall, talks ... | |
| Need Advice on a DAC for my Music Server? My understanding is that Lossless is not actually compressed. It is smaller than a regular file but that does not mean the music is compressed. Others who know more than I do have written about this on other threads here with more sophistication, ... | |
| Need Advice on a DAC for my Music Server? Do check out threads on just this topic that have appeared here before--much good info already been written. That said, I think Audioadvisor.com sells both the Bel Canto and Benchmark and offers a 30 day trial so you do not have to keep them if yo... | |
| Cary 306 SACD Personally, I don't prefer tubes on a CD player (I do like a tube pre though), so I like that the 306 SACD doesn't have tubes. Though, I think it is great that the 303/300 gives people the option. | |
| Cary 306 SACD From what people are saying it sounds like the 306 has better redbook playback than the 303/300. Of interest to me is the fact that it has a digital input, which I don't believe the 303/300 has. Anyone used the digital input on the new 306 SACD? | |
| Cary 306 SACD Anyone know if the 306 SACD can play Dual Discs? | |
| Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp??? Thanks, Blindjim. I suspect the 55 would drive them as well. I really do listen at low volumes 90% of the time and even when I turn it up its not that loud. I do have my JR's biwired right now but the amp ends of my wire are joined together as I o... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp??? So, do you guys think a BAT VK-55 would be powerrful enough to drive the JR's fully? I am curious about tubes and listen at pretty low volumes -- but I like to have full sound a low volumes. | |
| Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp??? Well said, Arkio. One mistake people often make with the Jr's is to not fill their chamber with shot or sand. Most who know about these consider this essential to set-up. As with any speaker attention to set-up and room acoustics is vital. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Exlibris: I used a CEC TL51-X transport. It did not sound any better than my computer front-end. After 6 months now of living with this set-up, I don't think I can ever go back to CD's and a regular CD player. The Dodson is quite nice. |
