| What makes a bigger change, dac or preamp? I have come to the conclusion over the years that the preamp is the heart and soul of the system and a world class one in a world class system makes the biggest improvements I've personally heard. I would also add that I've never heard a preamp th... | |
| Hank Moody's system He def has an Avid turntable | |
| Is Oritek still in bussiness? Need contact info. Tod I have a couple of extra sets of x2 1m length if you are interested. | |
| Pre or Dac...which route and which brand... Once again the benchmark would be perfect | |
| Which preamp with Quad 12L I thought mine sounded pretty good hooked up to a benchmark DAC. I used the volume control on the benchmark. | |
| Best DAC under 2k US ? I would also highly recommend the MHDT paradisea or Havana DAC. I have had both and still use the paradisea in one of my systems. It's a great DAC especially for the price | |
| Dynaudio Contour 1.3 originals or Audience 72SE? The 72 is a floor stander? I personally really like all Dynaudio speakers I think I got as much enjoyment out of the audience 42 as the c4s. I haven't heard either of the models you are thinking of but I'd say if you think they sound close then ge... | |
| PASS LABS SERVICE - GOLD star Great to know thanks for sharing | |
| Airport Express/Apple TV into DAC vs Mac into DAC I have both setups running in my house and I don't feel that I lose any quality by streaming to the apple tv or AE. I don't do hi Rez so it's not an issue for me that can't stream hi Rez. I personally would much rather stream to a higher quality D... | |
| PSB Imagine Minis or Audioengine A5+? I second the Quad L12. I have those paired up with a Benchmark DAC that has a built in preamp and the sound is very good, no comparison to the Audioengine speakers sitting next to my iMac. The finish is spectacular on these as well. They seem to g... | |
| Love the shelter 501MK2, what's the next step Never heard the 501 specifically but I've had quite a few Dynavectors all the way up to the XX-2mk2 as well as the Shelter 90X. The Shelter 90X was far and away the most magical of the bunch. I would guess that if you really like the 501 so much t... | |
| Finally saved 3000 what is a good setup. I would get a nice integrated amp as the backbone of your system. Like a creek destiny or sim audio 5.3 or a krell 400ix then figure on a set of speakers that will work well with a 100 or so watts of solid state power like a Dynaudio x12 or Revel ... | |
| Good power conditioner for non dedicated line Yes I have a sound application xe12 for my bedroom system works great and was the first power conditioning product that really wowed me. I'd snatch one of those up right away if it became available | |
| Speaker recommendation In your size room I would think you could get outstanding bass from a more full range monitor like the Dynaudio C1. That is a pretty small room I have a system in a 12x14 bedroom that gets great bass with a revel M20. I would think you could end u... | |
| Arvo Part... Where have you been my whole life? In pricipio is a newer release that I really like it has the song mein weig which is one of my all time favorites. I also love frates from tabula rasa as well as speigel I'm speigel. There are a lot of modern classical composers I like though they... |
