| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved PettyOfficer, I really can't see any real truth or facts in your arguments.As I see PC audio, it is a diy bolt together hobby for the keen audiophiles. NO manufacturer like Apple or Del will ever produce what you are claiming should exist. It is o... | |

| Audio Note Conquest Silver Signature vs. Bat VK-60 I would concurr with that. The Audio Note Conquests are superb in the right setting. Hook them up to efficient speakers, preferably 2 ways, or horn hybrids of at least 93 db efficiency, not just for the volume but the dynamic ceiling as well.I run... | |
| Subwoofer for Tannoy Autograph Mini Depending on your local, and prices I would recommend the MJ Acoustics range. They are very simlar to the original RELs, strata and studio, but are more reasonably priced. I am running a MJ Acoustics Ref 150 MkII with SET amps and horn hybrids, an... | |
| Review: REL Acoustics Britannia B-1 Subwoofer I am not so convinced by this review on the ST series. I have read quite a few reviews from dissapointed buyers, saying the exact opposite. Nothing like as good as the older range, depth and slam not up to previous audiophile standards.My view, do... | |
| Audio Note DAC 5 I do not agree here. Have any of you guy's actually heard the DAC 5. If you had a superb set-up and the front end was the only thing left to tweak, you would no doubt look to a DAC 5, if money was no really a problem.To illustrate my point:I do a ... | |
| Need an amp, either SS or tube, around $1000 Look at the OTO SE. 8 watts of pure tube heaven at a bargain price. It is very reliable, the tubes last 2-3 years and are cheap to replace. Plus lots of happy users out there, and reviews to read.Check out:www.audionote.co.ukAstrostar59 | |
| Transport - does it matter to the sound at all? Hello you guys!Nice responses to my post. It seems that there are 3 schools of thought here. Transport is most important, or DAC is or both. I am wondering if the combination of certain gear is also playing a role here. I mean, any electronic in t... |
