| Of all your gear, what piece impresses you most? I consider my system to be well balanced, however I consider my BEL 1001 MK V to be my most valued component. Probably most difficult to replace from either a sonic or cost basis. | |
| How do I hook uo headphones to my system? Wow, Al! Always impressed with the effort you extend to provide help. | |
| Server question, should I bother? I agree with Dragon. The set up you have seems overkill for MP3. Have you tried playback of Redbook CDs as AIFF?. | |
| Help for a vinyl novice Bill is correct. However the Sumiko recommends the BP be capacitive loaded at 100 pf or less. I own a BP but have it loaded at 100pf. I am not sure what impact on the BP the higher loading would have. Many phono stages are set to 200pf I believe. ... | |
| DAC upgrade assistance needed Congrats on your purchase. A great upgrade. I use Wireworld Starlight 7s. | |
| Upgrade from AQ King Cobra to Columbia DBS Received and placed the Columbia cables into my system. I did not care to A-B then against the KCs, simply replaced and sold them. The result seems to be better imaging within soundstage and more 'air' around upper midrange/treble notes. I am happ... | |

| An Introduction to new member Hi, and welcome from a retired member still in his infancy as I've been on this forum for just over a year. Ditto all Howard said. | |
| DAC upgrade assistance needed Without knowing about your existing system, let me expand on my 1st response. I play Redbook CDs as AIFF via MAC mini using Pure Music. I owned a DL III with the M2Tech Hiface. Felt it to offer great sound for the $700 I had invested. I upgraded t... | |
| DAC upgrade assistance needed The main limitation with the DL III for computer audio is the USB input. I would consider buying a quality USB to SPDIF converter first. I use a Audiophilleo 2 which is very good for the $$$. Sometimes come up used here, which is how I purchased m... | |
| Another DAC bits and Hz question I believe, and I could be wrong, that many of the older DACs can offer a great value/$$$ over newer ones for redbook CD playback. Even if using a computer to playback AIFF or WAV files, provided a USB/SPDIF converter is used. | |
| Budget Front Ported Bookshelf Recommendations Thanks Wolf, I will look into these. | |
| Can audiohile be done on the porch Noromance, you are right that one need to consider ones neighbors. I live in the country, still must understand that sound travels. You sabbathtaged your adversary. Nicely done. | |
| what to TURN to when starting $1000 budget I agree with Schubert that a headphone system provides great sound/dollar. I have a pair of AKG701s with headphone amp and they sound wonderful. Based on your post, I don't believe that is what you are looking for. Here goes one person's opinion o... | |
| Budget Front Ported Bookshelf Recommendations Few drivers made today have foam surrounds. In my setting the speakers will not be subjected to excessive heat or unusual drying conditions which would cause them to age prematurely. |
