| Changing from Vinyl to Digital in Brave New World Bill,In reading this excellent thread, it occurred to me that such an extensive vinyl music collection as yours represents a true labor of love and may contain many works that will be all but impossible to find for digital repurchase. Given this i... | |

| Remote DAC connection to Computer -Shoot Me Now Marantz,The Audiolab USB input is looking for connectivity that supports asynchronous mode for its onboard Sabre chips. This requires a handshake via software drivers between your media serving computer and the dac to control clocking and data tra... | |

| C 2400 with P ?? ,what is better E 460 E E 550 ?? Oh great. Here we go again with yet another ZZ9114 vs. JECT674 rant. Can't you guys ever agree on anything?Hey Nick, on the off-chance that this was a serious attempt at first post, welcome to the forum and please try to provide more info about yo... | |
| bridging integrated amplifier Rome, One additional thought - if your single speaker is able to be biwired - that is, has separate sets of connectors for low-frequency and high-frequency ranges, you should actually be able to connect both "channels" of your receiver while in mo... | |
| bridging integrated amplifier If you want both channels output through a single speaker rated at 8 ohms, you could just connect it conventionally via one set of speaer terminals, then set NAD's speaker impedance selector to 8 ohms, and then press the "Mono" selector button on ... | |
| Balanced XLR to RCA Adapters: Good or Bad? "As for using the adapters, Doug is right on. You will hear the degradation even if you use Rat Shack lamp cord."Agree, but the question IMO is not only whether there will be some loss of fidelity now, but how the OP can best get to his next level... | |
| Balanced XLR to RCA Adapters: Good or Bad? Go with the adapters. They'll give you the flexibility that you may need for upgrading to a balanced system later, w/o much of a dropoff in performance now.Cardas can be found many places for under $75.http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?accstw... | |
| Add a preamp or a whole new integrated Agree with Tobias. You should also consider the Ayre AX-7E integrated - fully balanced w/ passive preamp stage and SET-like sonics. I swapped a NAD 352 for the Ayre a couple of years ago and it made all the difference for me.Timbre, soundstage, an... | |

| J river Media Center 16 settings.....HELP Pulsetsar, May be true in general, but definitely Not the case with Ayre QB-9. The dedicated, proprietary driver provided by Ayre and designed by Wavelength Audio(Ayre uses an implementation similar to Streamlength) and the Ayre onboard upsampling... | |
| Airport Extreme to DAC Once you get the Ayre set up, you won't need or have remote access to any controls for the QB-9 specifically, as it autosenses and adapts to the output bitrate (as well as displays it). If you are planning to use 24/192, select your media software... | |
| Urgently need your input. Scoly,I just waded through more of the 44+ pages of discussion on avsforum and must say that it gave me pause. Not sure I've seen that much solid documentation of a product flaw by long term forum contributers, and lack of adequate response from a... | |
| Urgently need your input. Tough risk vs reward call.There's this thread in which KR4 and others recommend an Integra, but I also noticed that an Integra was included in the avs forum problem list.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?bhome&1321734133&openfrom&... |
