| Comparing rips One thing to check out is the issue of drive offset numbers. If I remember correctly, iTunes gives you no control over the drive offset and EAC and dBpoweramp both do. When I played with this a while ago, once I got EAC and iTunes to use the same ... | |
| 5.1 surround sound help needed Not sure what you currently have, but here is a brief description, assuming current equipment with HDMI connections. Given your question, I will try to keep it very simple. You should provide more information on exactly what your issues are.You st... | |
| Musical Fidelity VLink 192 to kw dm 25 dac As a gross generalization, many modern DACs go for maximum detail, which to someone coming from vinyl can sound overly "digital" and can easily becomes fatiguing. Of course, it really depends on your system. I would just in selecting any new DACs ... | |
| Step up transformer for Benz Ebony TR cartridge Your RCM has a lot of gain options, which is very nice. That raises the question of how much gain to get from a SUT versus your RCM. A 34 dB gain would mean you end up with something like 35 or dB gain on the RCM. Is it better to have a large SUT ... | |
| Mcintosh MC501 or MC 352 for Sonus Faber Cremona I use a Levinson 432 with my Cremona and it delivers 400 watts at 8 ohms and 800 watts at 4 ohms. Works fine. Based on my experience, he MC501 would not be to powerful. Based on my experience choosing amps for the Cremona, more power is better, bu... | |

| Is there an amp that does 2-channel and all this? Is your phono MM or MC? I believe the ARCAM is MM only. Just something to check. | |
| Step up transformer for Benz Ebony TR cartridge I have an Ebony TR (not the S) and it has .2mV output. I use it will a Linn Linto with 62.5dB gain and it is fine with that amplification. I believe that the newer S drops to .1mV. Rest of the system is Cary SLP 05 and Levinson 432. I have the Car... | |
| Is there an amp that does 2-channel and all this? Sorry, that should be MRX 700. | |
| Is there an amp that does 2-channel and all this? You might look at the Anthem MX700 receiver. It does not have a phono stage, but you could easily add one and be below your budget. Have not heard it, but the Anthem gear is generally believed to have much better 2 channel sound than the mass mark... | |

| Option to decode dolby / dts There are inexpensive S/PDIF versions, although they do not have volume control. Can you use those? Finding an HDMI 5.1 converter is harder. If you are not using the lossless codecs, you can buy an old receiver that does 5.1 conversion with pre-ou... | |
| When was the last time you listened to live music? I saw Judy Collins 2 weeks ago in one of the most gorgeous new small venues in the US - the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport MA. Sitting in the front row listening to her with that background in late afternoon was awesome. Listening to Fa... | |
| Mark Levinson 532H I had a 432, the predecessor to the 532H. I tried it with a 326 and did not like the results. The 432 has a somewhat laid back sound and coupled with the 326, it was just too laid back. It was just too mellow in my system. Admittedly I have Sonus ... |
