| Audioquest Diamond interconnects I've had only the AQ Diamondsx3, and liked them better than any other non-AQ interconnects. Interesting that only the first reviewer found them bright or edgy and no one else. I found them to be the opposite, so I would also ask along with others ... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Now this thread is going on 6 yrs old! I was out of audio for a while and now I can't afford hi-end stuff, but my sense is that CD players never really got good, I mean it's strange that you can't just buy any cheapo CD player from one of the big ... | |
| I'm depressed, my system hurts my ears.Please help No I would DEFINITELY agree 100% with Maraken and newbee that this is symptom of digitis -- the source is your CD player or more precise it is "jitter", the technical term -- well there's a very simple test, just, listen to some other source such ... | |
| Perpetual Technologies P1,P3, and Monolithic PS I also was not happy with a P1a that I bought used. I hooked it up with MSB Link Dac (to replace a DTI Pro). Yes I could hear tremendous detail but actually harsh sound, like jitter, and it changed the character of the Link Dac *completely*. From ... | |
| Sony 9000es with DAC annoying lock/unlock Both -Thanks but if you can't find anything it's not critical. At first I thought I would use the 9000 as transport but now I've decided I like my old other transport (a Proceed) for 2-channel and keep the 9000 just for DVD viewing. I like the dow... | |
| Sony 9000es DVD/CD/SACD Player as Transport? The original poster is probably long gone but I wanted to post an opinion on this too. The other day I tried my 9000ES as transport driving a Link Dac via an Audio Alchemy DTI Pro (the 9000 directly driving the Link Dac II was not a contender, the... | |
| Differences between Link 1, 2 and 3 DACs? Yes consider the inputs/outputs of the Monarchy. I don't think it has an AES/EBU output, whereas the Audio Alchemy DTI Pro (32) has one (and I've found that the Link Dac does ALWAYS benefit from jitter reduction). But with my Link Dac II, I found ... | |
| Sony DVP-S9000ES Availability??? All I know is I'm glad I got the 9000ES for about $1100 a few years ago -- with the 5 year warranty and all the goodies it's definitely WORTH buying a NEW one in this case (don't think the warranty is transferrable?). (It's usually WORTH getting a... | |
| What XLO digital cable do I have? I also have a green and purple speaker cable that I bought at Audiogon. I guess it must be the XLO Type 5, but is it Reference?? Who knows. there's no identification of model on it anywhere, but it is stiff and I think later models were advertised... | |
| Budget CD / DVD or D/A solution FYI that's MAGNUM Dynalab, not Magnan. | |
| Enacoms for bright speakers? Also David Magnan recommends the Enacom a/c device in his interesting article at www.magnan.com, see the "tweaks" section. But I haven't heard it yet. | |
| Review: Bryston B-60r Amplifier After comparing with different amps over the years -- I only owned the B60 for a year so far, but this is memory of the other amps -- the B60 is very musical. What does it mean, musical? To me, it is very good tonal quality, which means insight in... | |
| Why so many Power plants for sale? P300 does not deliver enough power for any amp, even my integrated B60. By this I mean, it restricts power flow and you notice that dynamics become too tame and flat -- not dynamic in other words. If you don't care about dynamics because your gear... | |
| Musical Fidelity A324 DAC as good as Tellig says? 1) there do not seem to be MF dealers while I live, near Chicago. I would definitely audition first if at all possible, also I don't think MF or dealers offer free home trial??2) Sam Tellig reminds me of some kind of slick used car salesman. I don... | |
| Love for music shatter by highend equipment I rarely buy CDs for people as gifts because I think the sound is terrible on most people's mediocre CD players. I would rather buy them tapes. I only buy CDs for myself but it's taken me over a decade to build a CD-based system that I like. |
