| Major upgrade from Rega Apollo: Which one? Audio Space CDP8A. Had the Apollo in my system and the Audio Space is more musical. Allows a SS or Tubed output. Mated with W4S and Maggie 3.6's. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 owners and subwoofers SchubertNothing wrong with W4S amps | |
| Wyred 4 Sound STP SE and ST-1000 I have a W4S STP SE and ST1000 as well.Absolutlely love it with my Maggie 3.6's.Thicker than lamp cord speaker wire and no special interconnects. Can change out the front end and hear the differences. | |
| Simple & Cheap Way to Cut Turntable Vibrations I have a Technics 1200 MK5 with an Audio Technica 150 MLX set up on a glass shelf in an equipment rack.Could hear vibration when I tapped the tt deck or side.Tried Sorbothane 1.5 inch half spheres. The vibration went away.Got a 1.5 inch thick piec... | |
| Oppo 105 or PS Audio PWD Mk2 Hegeifman,I do not want to appear to be a total dunce; and certainly know the difference between a DAC and a CD player.The problem is the listening experience for me requires that I get to hold an album or jewel case so that I can read about the a... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 Weakest Link I am kind of in the same boat as the OP. W4S preamp amd amp with Maggie 3.6's. No fancy interconnects or speaker wire - thicker than lamp cord and lets rock. I have an unmodified Technics 1200 table with an Audio Technica 150 mlx cartridge. For CD... | |
| Best Sounding CD / SACD player under 15K Whatever piece one would choose in the OP's price range better be able to be taken back to the seller if does not sound good when it is auditioned in one's home system setup.Something may have better detail or soundtage or etc. in the store but it... | |
| How to evaluate CD DAC vs. outboard DAC quality sorry - I hit submit instead of preview first.Did not want to sound dogmatic, but given the cost of this hobby, hearing is believing.Oherwise, it is a bet where the best odds are that we are 50% wrong and it goes further wrong from there if we mis... | |
| How to evaluate CD DAC vs. outboard DAC quality Recroom, I have the same question as you regarding DAC vs CD and am to this point:I decided that I like to touch and read about my music rather than listen from a computer which I more readily associate with either work or mindless entertainment.T... | |
| Marantz sa-11s3 To all posters: So how does the Marantz sa-11s3 compare to other cd players that you have heard in your system(s)? | |
| SHELTER - 501II CARTRIDGE on Technics 1200 Table So....having read some more about this topic (thank you for the direction, Hesson11!), I know that light weight tone arms work better with high compliance cartridges. I also think I can explain why - whoppee!The mathematical formulas that would te... | |
| CD player with Tube Output or Music Server Sunandmusic, How complicated is it to build an AN DAC? I have soldered new capacitors in large Advents, but this looks like it this would be at a higher required skill level. | |
| SHELTER - 501II CARTRIDGE on Technics 1200 Table Sidsip, regarding your post "Shelter and SL 1200 aren't good match. Shelter needs a heavier arm."Could you please explain why the Shelter needs a heavier arm? I do not really understand table/arm/cartridge matching and would appreciate learning mo... | |
| CD player with Tube Output or Music Server I appreciate the feedback from everyone. I am learning and it got me thinking which will always result in more ignorant questions. So...I get the impression that the cabling between the computer and DAC or transport and DAC is very important to so... | |
| TECHNICS SL1200 MKII.......THE REAL FACTS Assuming that we all hear sound the same way, the only method to truly evaulate if one table sounds better than another would be to compare them in a blind test.Can anybody recall any threads that describe results from a blind test? |
