| Van Alstine? When was the last time you compared an amp from the 70's to a high end amp made recently? It's no surprise they couldn't distinguish a cheap receiver from a high end amp back them. | |
| Best Dac with USB input for $1,000 or less I agree with Erik, I'd check out the DAC-1. | |
| Wyred for Sound DAC 2 or Peachtree Nova Sorry for the delay, I had to return my DAC-1 that was on loan before I could make the comparison, but I should be receiving my DAC-2 by the end of the week. | |
| Best earbuds/earphones Shure SE420's have a nice low end and sound good overall. | |
| Van Alstine? Kristian, you're right, all my McIntosh, Wyred 4 Sound, and Pass amps sound exactly the same. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Tony's reviews and rankings are based on his experience with those capacitors used in loudspeaker crossovers, not electronics.How a capacitor sounds in a loudspeaker does not directly correlate with how it will sound in electronics. | |
| goertz cables Their micro purl interconnects are a great bang for the buck. As mentioned above, their termination could be better though. | |
| audio aero vs ayon cd5 Good luck if the AA needs service. | |
| Do all good interconnects sound the same? Maybe his system isn't revealing enough to hear a difference? :P | |
| Audio with a Computer source You can do both. Pick up an Asus sound card with HDMI out for multi-channel/HT. For 2 channel, you can either use the digital coax from the same card or a USB DAC. | |
| DUNLAVY SC-VI 20x20 is a bad idea. Here is some helpful info: http://www.cardas.com/content.php?area=insights&content_id=41&pagestring=Listening+Room+Dimensions | |
| Those black boxes degrade sound? Smeared sound? I haven't heard the older generations, but MIT's newer ones do exactly the opposite. Cleaner, more articulate bass, better coherency top to bottom, better defined images, and a larger soundstage. For image/soundstage freaks like me,... | |
| Gallo Nucleus Solo tweeter repair I'd pull the crossover and check for any burnt resistors or bulging capacitors. | |
| Which cd players have digital INPUT? Marantz SA-15S2 has an optical input. | |
| the preamplifier built in the ayon cd5 is great? Since when is 8V not enough to drive any amp? http://www.ayonaudio.com/products/cd-player-dac/cd-player/cd-5.html |
