| KEXP with Squeezebox Touch Let us know if you figure it out. Thanks | |
| Can I connect my iPhone to my Ayre integrated amp Check out the Pure Digital I-20. For $100 you can use almost any apple iphone or ipod and stream internet radio or play itunes. It takes the digital from the iphone and processes it through its own DAC, or will pass it along to the DAC of your cho... | |
| AMPS - the Ayre V5-xe and the Classe CA 2200 I used the Ayre to drive my 4-ohm Avalon Indras and it sounded very good. Lots of delicacy and inner detail, very good soundstaging. People including myself sometimes note that the Ayre can be a tad light in the bass region, but it's positive qual... | |
| Tube Pre to mate with Parasound JC-1s & Maggies? I think you need a very lively preamp to go with the JC-1's. My experience is that the Audible Illusions isn't all that lively. Rogure might do. An older CAT. How about an EAR? Not quite as lively, but very musical and far above the AI, you might ... | |
| Questions About CAT JC-2 Thanks Jafox,Yep, that was a typo. Meant to type JL-2.My understanding is that the original JL-2 began with 6 resistors, then up to 10, and like you say, there is now a newer resistor set which supposedly allow the amps to better handle a catastro... | |
| Tube amps known to have a low damping factor? CAT JL-2 has a DF of 10. Why do you want a low DF? I thought I high DF was desireable... | |
| Questions About CAT JC-2 I did get a bit of info from CAT.The input impedance is 110 KohmsAs for replacing a blown tube, Lee said that one should replace the whole set if they are getting close to worn out, but if they are still in pretty good shape and the "blown" tube s... | |
| Naim 5i: How important are Naim NACA Cables? Thanks guys - that's just the kind of information I'm looking for. So far, here on agon, even split. The seller tells me that the NACA is quite critical, but I can't use it in my system. My speakers take only spades, and the run is about 18', too ... | |
| selection of amp to drive DYNAUDIO C1 I've heard the Plinius 102 with Harbeths - what a sweet combination - I think it's a very sweet amplifier. | |
| selection of amp to drive DYNAUDIO C1 I've heard it with Gamut monoblock amplification. Wow!!! | |
| Best bookshelf for House Music I'd look into a Dynaudio C1. But I don't see how a monitor on a stand is that much smaller than a small footprint floorstander. Anyhow, the C1 is very dynamic with lots of bass. Also, what about a Totem 1 or Mani2? | |
| Long USB cable If your imac has optical out of its mini headphone jack, get a good glass optical cable. Talk to underwoodwally. | |
| Long USB cable That is correct, 15' is the max. There are repeaters to extend this, but I'm not sure about the effect on sound quality. | |
| Speakers free of grain, glare and steel? I've had Harbeth's and think they are great. I've been impressed with hearing Spendors and the Adagios too (very impressed with them). | |
| Is 75 ohm coax the same as S/PDIF? You can make your own 75 ohm connector with good quality belgin 75 ohm coax and good quality RCA connectors. Most people say the proper length for this is 1.5 meters, but I believe a very short run (e.g. 8 inches) also works well (if your DAC will... |
