| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? Ferenc--Wow! I just clicked on your system. I have never seen anything like it. I am sure it sounds great---still, with all of those cables, etc. it looks a little bit like a BORG (ala Star Trek) Transport Device. | |
| Are the Grammy's becoming irrelevant? Yup. And then there are all of those idiots who went out and buoght the Dixie Chicks Album by the millions...perhaps all to show contempt for 'W". Hmmmm, maybe the album is good and The Country Awards are too political to get it.Oh, I hated The Di... | |
| Re-discovered Satellite Radio.. If you like Satellite Radio I suggest you also investigate streaming audio with a decent DAC. Slimdevices squeezebox is a really wonderful unit for streaming audio and access to you computer's music files. I really think Satellite Radio is for car... | |
| Oppo DVD with Bel Canto DAC2 make sense? Folks over at AVSFORUM think the oppo is the closest thing to the re-invention of the wheel. Great unit. | |
| Budget Power Cords For Tube Mono Amps ? Rx8man; yup. I can't let it near any on my interconnects. Too mych 60-cycle humm. Anybody want it? you pay shipping. | |
| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? Audioengr; You make a good point. Also, your inputs over at That Other Forum is really appreciated. For now I am using the Transporter digital output for two reasons. First, on my main system I prefer the warmer signal going to my amps that comes ... | |
| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? I am very satisfied with the Slimdevices Transporter. It is the only device that I know of that will output AES/EBU and it also has a word clock input. The DAC is outstanding and probably every bit as good as my Audio Aero Capitole. Having said th... | |
| Budget Power Cords For Tube Mono Amps ? About the only power cord that made a difference for me was Granite Audio---The thing humms like crazy. | |
| HiFi-Tuning German fuses opinion Hmmmmm. yes I have been following this tube-thing and I suppose I will try it and my not-so-audiophile ears might hear the change. The real test is when the wife comes home and asks 'what did I do, now....' as in when I roll tubes. | |
| new loricraft user / solutions questions I have some vinyl that needs cleaning. Thanks for the info. | |
| Can any player challenge Audio Aero Prestige SE ? While the customer is always right, it is up to the dealer to do the insightful presentation. Had i depended on my local dealer's ability I would never have bought the Audio Aero as he had a new one that was only plugged in for demonstrations...no... | |
| Best inexpensive interconnect/speaker cables? Try Stu Wein at audiopartsinc.com His mas interconnects are good. | |
| Best analog sounding cd player under 5K If you can find a lightly used Audio Aero Capitole, buy it. Especially if it is the latest version with the analog passthru.I own one and it always gets great reviews in audiogon circles. This unit will step aside on occasion whenever someone come... | |
| Dac with volume control Budget under $300.00? Can you reach just a bit more for an audio aero Prima? | |
| HT and 2 Channel System set-up question whew. I think you need to go with what you like.Switchboxes, in your system are to be avoided. McIntosh components really don't work all that well with them.You might be better off with just splitting the signal with a simple 'Y-adaptor.' |
