| Esoteric D-05 dac and Oracle transport Hi Audiofeil,actually, i was basically recommending that Valves consider keeping his Oracle CD player use it as a transport into his Esoteric D-05 DAC...instead of spending 5 figures on a P-05 Transport. And use a world class digital cable which c... | |
| Preamps suitable for CJ ACT2 Series 2 preamp. Hi vmhf, Not really...it depends on the gain of the Herron...might have been higher than the ACT 2.2 which i believe is 21.5 decibels. In any event, 50 totally normal for me. The power amp should not be fussed by the preamp either...the power amp ... | |
| Biwire jumpers as speaker cables? yes, that should work. Frankly, i am amazed you can get the jumper to reach...the terminals must be...what?...within 5 inches of each other? Super-close!(BTW, I happen to have a pair of Transparent Audio Reference jumpers which I used with my SF G... | |
| Esoteric D-05 dac and Oracle transport Personally, i have found that execution of whatever technology is more important than whether it has upsampling, no upsampling, etc. I have been fortunate to listen to some of the world's great names in digital...DCS SCarlatti full stack, Stahl-Te... | |
| Speaker cable upgrade BTW, i have 0 affiliation with Paragon Sound in Ann Arbor Michigan...i thnk they are great. They are the largest Transparent Ref dealer, and i know the guys at TA think very highly of them. Larry there is great, and can usually sell s/hand to you ... | |
| Speaker cable upgrade Hi Willie,i would def recommend s/hand...cables rarely degrade with age (unless someone has really mistreated the cable). Cost is waaay lower too.For that price range, i would recommend Transparent Reference (older, XL). For that money, i have per... | |
| Optical Toslink vs.. RCA SP/DF cables best?? Hi KKing,personally, i have found i prefer RCA outs for digital. As for DVD-A, i think some of the high-res formats are blocked for output thru non-hdmi because those outputs are not encoded (to protect against copying). In your case, i [think] th... | |
| Krell vs Parasound Ha-haaaahhhhhh!!!!! That is great news!!!!! Pleased to hear it. Enjoy!! pls continue to post! | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities by coincidence, walked into the local dealer around the corner...playing unico tube amp with Quad 2905...beautiful air, space, 3-dimensionality and musicality. Not the last word in definition...but you only know this is if you have heard systems t... | |
| Best neutral aes/ebu cable for transport - DAC Hi Stanwal,serious collection of good equipment you have there!!! Apogee Duettas must be an experience...only heard the Stages and Stage Grand...whew! good stuff that could be quite competitive even today...15+ years later. Heard the CJ 350SA amp ... | |
| Krell vs Parasound I would say the JC-1 is a different beast than the hca3500 from what i have been told and read. IOW, the JC1 is the superior product. I would be very hard-pressed to compare KSA300 to JC-1, i imagine...that would take a lot of system listening wit... | |
| Krell vs Parasound Agree...the Krell should deliver a bigger, more defined solid soundstage, which also is more delinieated throughout the sound spectrum....and much more powerful through the upper bass, and likely more extended thru lower bass. KSA were some of Kre... | |
| Best neutral aes/ebu cable for transport - DAC Hi Lubos,regarding not too expensive, i would definitely go s/hand. Cable prices drop quite a bit and you can pick up great cables at much lower prices.Transp Ref is a very full sound, with super low noise floor. I use Valhalla BNC cable which i b... | |
| Are the CD'S days numbered? Hi Tmsoroskwhich hmv would this be? interesting turn of events! | |
| Preamps suitable for CJ ACT2 Series 2 preamp. AGree with Onemug. I've had ACT 2 for a long time...always play around 41 soft, 51 normal, 65-70 for movies only (lower soundtrack recording volume). |
