| Cary 306 Professional vs. Marantz SA11S3 If I remember correctly, the first 306 model was the 306, which did HDCD and 24/96. The 306/200 added 24/192. Then came the 306 SACD, which added SACD. Then, the 306 SACD Pro, which was meant to be the ultimate SACD player. For the SACD Pro Denis ... | |
| Rip LP's to Digital You should look at some of the handheld recorders, like those from Tascam. They are generally used for portable recording using their built in mics, but they also have a line input. You just take line level outputs from your preamp. The entry leve... | |
| Recommendations for a Analog to Digital Converter Vinyl Studio will let you separate and tag tracks in DSD files. Beyond that, you need to convert to PCM to do other post-processing. There is professional software that will allow you to make corrections to DSD files and only converts to PCM in th... | |
| Totem Hawk: Outdated compared to newer spks?? The Elements are something special, but at a different price point. I have never compared Forrest and Hawks. I have Aeros and Sttafs. | |
| Totem Hawk: Outdated compared to newer spks?? Czarivey - have you heard the Elements? The Metal, imo, is much better than the Forest, although clearly at a different price point. | |
| Totem Hawk: Outdated compared to newer spks?? I have Sonus Faber Cremona which were introduced in 2003. SF has gone through several newer models since. I still like the original ones. Over the years, speaker design has changed. Many believe my Cremona are "colored" because they have a slight ... | |
| Recommendations for a Analog to Digital Converter Per Almarg, you can start with something as simple as a Tascam DR-05. It records up to 24/96 from line ins onto a MicroSD card for transfer to a computer. You can get one online for $100 at Sweetwater or Guitar Center or $70 on Amazon or B&H. ... | |
| Thiel SCS3 I have both a SCS3 and a SCS4 as centers. The 3 is quite good, but I find the 4 to be cleaner for dialog. I am running them both off Yamaha receivers with a 180 watt ATI and a 200 watt B&K amp respectively. I think the 4 is a better center, bu... | |
| Green Glue and Wall Channel I used Green Glue on the ceiling when I finished my basement for a theater. It does a very good job of stopping everything except low bass. The bass gets through the ceiling, through the joists I presume. Your staggered wall should help reduce the... | |

| Goodbye ZYX Airy 3 The effect of exchange rate depends on the time frame you consider. From 2000 to 2008, the dollar/yen ratio was between 100 and 120. After 2008, the ratio dropped substantially, bottoming at around 78 in May 2011. Since then it has risen back to 1... | |
| Quality pre amps with home theater by-pass Cary SLP-05 has a home theater bypass. It simply closes a switch that passes the bypass input to the outputs. Works whether preamp is on or off.As Soix says, you can always make your own "home theater bypass" by attaching your receiver left/rights... | |
| USB DAC question for neutral setup. Please help. The Chord Qute HD is an earlier Chord generation than the Chord Hugo. It is a good DAC, but not in the same league as Hugo. The HD was replaced by the EX. There is a new Chord 2Qute which is the Qute box but with the Hugo electronics, but it is ju... | |
| Totem Forest Signature -or- Spendor D7 As long as we are hijacking - if you have the chance listen to the new Element line. They are really special. | |
