| When your wife... Bogdan: I am afraid for 500.00, you'd probably can't do better than what she came up with.I bought a pair of Image 5T for my sister and they are not bad at all considering their price. The only thing I can criticize about the 5T is that they do no... | |
| Speakers similar to Avantgarde horn Maybe the Quad ESL 988 is what would do for me. I still need to make sure my room is big enough for them. | |
| Dynaudio 52 vs. 52SE? There is no doubt about the technical superiority of the 52se over the 52, but the Dyn tends to be good with bass heavy materials which is more at home at a party than quiet late night listening. There is something about the Dyn that is cold and e... | |
| Cry 303/100 vs Cary 303/200 From the technical stand point, the 200 can be used as DAC as it has a digital input. The 200 also has a volume control so that you can connect it directly to a power amp.The 200 also has the latest HDCD filter (the 100 has the older version).As f... | |
| Roksan Caspian CDP or other for Bel Canto amp IMHO, do not let upsampling be the deciding factor in choosing your cdp. Everything else considered, and this is shared by many people, upsampling has very minimal effect to the sound as opposed other design factors such as proper power supply, ou... | |
| Buy new amp or new speakers for more power Nrchy: I am not sure why you think the Multi 5 is not up to the task. Anyway, my budget would be about 2 - 3k range for a used amp or I could purchase a three way speakers. I think bi-amp would increase power and to give music more focus and clarity. | |
| Upgrading the Source. If you're into underdog and underrated stuffs, then try the Nad S500i CDP. There is one on sale on Audiogon for 775.00. I still don't understand why this cdp doesn't get the attention that it deserves. Actually, it does receive some good press in ... | |
| High-end Universal...Why? ? I agree with Bld63 that SACD will probably become a small niche in the market only few will care. Most people just don't care about the sound quality as much as they care about the picture quality of their home entertainment center. People will ra... | |
| Digital jitter and disk treament tweak Audioengr: I beleive that most if not all cd player has the data bufferred, formated, and clock out to the DAC stage using a master clock. I can't imagine data just go straight from the disk to wherever they are going. The players may not have a l... | |
| Digital jitter and disk treament tweak Eldartford: I supposed if money is not an issue, you could design a clock system with a few pico second or even femto second of jitter. The quartz itself needs to be amplified so the amplifier need to have low jitter also. The signal has to travel... | |
| Digital jitter and disk treament tweak Eldartford: the clock that is used to clock the data out from the buffer has jitter and that is why the data that come out from the flip flop has jitter. No clock is perfect and therefore they all have jitter. Some has more than other.As for the e... | |
| Can sibilance be eliminated? Most of the time, natural sibilance is not really a problem and I understand that it is part of the way we make speech. But I think the problem is that most digital playback would add a layer of electronics which results in a sound that is shapele... | |
| Sony SCD-C 555ES I also bought it and sold it within a week. It sounded worse than my Kenwood 200cd changer. Vocal through this player sounds as hard as a brick. How this player got stereophile class A is beyond any human logic. | |
| What type of copper is best for power cable? I haven't tried buying Marinco connectors yet. There is a local representative I can call on Monday. Will see then.The odd things is I've been going all over town to find a decent female plug but can't seem to find any store that carry them. The o... | |
| First pre/pro and hopefully last Audio Refinement Pre2 Dsp is an excelent Pre/Pro that sounds great and only costs you 1400.00 new. Though it doesn't have as many features as others but the sound is top notch. All analog inputs can be bypassed by there is a 5.1 input for SACD or ... |
