| Do I need a DAC? My BAT VK-5SE CD player trounces my custom modded Perpetual Technologies DAC and my Oppo 83 SE with the vaunted Sabre 32 DACS built-in. Unless you want/need the convenience of a computer source, no you do not "need" a DAC. | |
| Long interconnect cables I am running 15 feet (XLR) with absolutely no problems. Four feet should be no sweat. | |
| Emotiva amplifiers review/experience? I have a 7 channel Emotiva MPS-1 amp. It is a caged 7 "blade" design, so each blade is essentially a digital powered monoblock. It is outstanding for home theater (200 watts per channel). It was quite satisfactory for a couple of years in two chan... | |
| Surround speaker location for music? I agree with Pdn. | |
| JL Audio I use two F113's. The point is not to shake the walls but to even out the frequency response in the room (always easier with two subs). I would buy one F113 now and when funds become available buy the second one later. You can run them in stereo (... | |
| How to merge my 2 Channel and HT Systems? I do it as follows:Surround processor to the "unity gain" input on stereo preamp. The sub is on the LFE output from the processor. I run two channel as full signal with no subs. For HT, I hit one button on the preamp remote to change from the two ... | |
| Exact power.....hookup question Neil, thanks for the tip. | |
| Speaker cables for Wilson Sophia 3 I am using WireWorld Silver Eclipse 6 speaker cables with my Wilson Audio Sophia 2's with great success. Be sure to let them burn in at least 100 hours because at first they will sound very congested. When mine hit 200 hours they began to perform ... | |
| 12s cable for perpetual tech. Dac This article will help a little, although it is not the operator's manual (which I recall was all of one or two pages).http://www.audioxpress.com/reviews/media/402galo2079.pdf | |
| cd player or computer with dac I went contrary to the usual progression, giving up a DAC in favor of a dedicated CD player. I did it for synergy and got it in spades. Now it is BAT tube CD player to BAT tube preamp to BAT solid state amp.Conventional wisdom is computer source t... | |
| 12s cable for perpetual tech. Dac Joehernandez509, The P-3A is the DAC. The P-1A is a digital upconverter and re-clocker that did reduce jitter imposed by the SPDIF cable feeding it. Green/Red lights really depend on the exact function in question and unfortunately I do not have t... | |
| 12s cable for perpetual tech. Dac The Revelation I2S cable made a significant improvement to my Perpetual Technologies P-3A and P-1A when I was using that duo. | |
| Cardas or Wireworld for BAT system? I ended up going with WireWorld Silver Eclipse 6. At 50 hours I feel that they are still burning in, but they are already a nice improvement over what I had. The sonic signature is neutral to maybe one tick cool. They are not bright. The upper end... | |
| Exact power.....hookup question I forgot to mention, both units are left on at all times. | |
| Exact power.....hookup question My SP-15 is plugged into my EP-15, with everything except the amp plugged into the SP-15. The amp is plugged straight into the wall because its draw on start up would blow the fuse in the EP-15. Counting the previous amp, this set-up has been in p... |
