| Best rca digital cable for Audio Logic 24MXL dac? Thanks RC- who makes 'Kubala'? Also- what transport are you using with the AL dac? Do you think this dac is transport-dependent at all? | |
| Best rca digital cable for Audio Logic 24MXL dac? D-60 is better IMO (probably should have kept it around btu sold it a couple of years ago...). Only using HDVX 'cause a friend gave it to me. In fact, I have now put the HDVX on my secondary dac, and am now using a nice silver-braided Kimber digit... | |
| Antique Hurricane Bias yah, the new ones do look better, but I am still skeptical. My ASL 1009's (PP triode monoblocks using a pair of 845's per channel), although sounding great in my system, could NEVER hold the bias properly- I got thoroughly frustrated and sold them... | |
| Pass labs Aleph 3, upgrade to X150 hmmmm... interesting, as just for fun I am about to demo an Aleph 30 (the successor to your Model 3)- same size listening room as yours, and almost the same efficiency speakers (97 db/14 ohm Coincident Total Victory). I am using a Sim Audio amp th... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? pretty nice HT system ya got there...as for your question- I heard the DV-50 last night at a local dealer- very impressive for a one-box. Still does not touch my Vecteur L-4 transport/Audio Logic 24MXL dac (with nos tubes and XLR output option) co... | |
| sistrum vs neuance Hi from Toronto! I have 2 Sistrum SP-6 racks here, and am not even interested in trying anything else, HOWEVER, am considering a large SET amp on the bottom shelf, and may consider a Neuance shelf sitting ON TOP OF the brass audiopoints. IMHO ther... | |
| Sony SCD-XA777ES or SCD-1 SCD-1 as TRANSPORT only to outboard dac for redbook. I am finding the Audiologic 24MXL dac simply fabulous. SACD is good on the SCD-1, but with the above suggestion, you would have all the bases covered (budget-dependent suggestion of course). | |
| EAD TheaterMaster 8000 8000pro 8800 8800pro and avsforum covers these pieces in more detail. | |
| A'gon Classified or Auction - Which do you prefer? classifieds for sure. The auction seems 'sneakier' to me somehow. I mean c'mon, just state your desired price in a classified ad and be done with it! | |
| Coincident S E III vs Total E bigger sense of scale with the TE's, more effortless on the deep bass as well. It also depends largely on room size. I used to own SE's, and skipped the TE's in favour of the TV's, but would be happy with any of the above. | |
| AR CD3 MKII vs Sim Audio Moon Eclipse Cd player Yes- I have compared them both extensively- the Eclipse was superior to me if I had to live with one of he two. The CD3 MKII had better 'jump' factor, but was not as relaxing to listen to, and actually I found it fatiguing after a while, with a bi... | |
| tube pre amp to match Sim audio w-3 or w-5 I have a W-3 and use a Sonic Frontiers Line 3- but it's a bit out of your stated price range. An SFL-2 would be an excellent second choice, and would give you exactly the attributes you mention above- good luck! | |
| Any superb balanced dacs up to $2,500 used?? Nutella- who are you? :-) | |
| HT and 2-channel music setup - New Ideas? I will chime in for the Sim Attraction (5.1 version only). excellent 2-ch and a low noise floor when run balanced (I also used a Theta Dreadnaught as well- superb HT amp). The EAD 8800 Pro may be a step up though. Some of the EAD's use a special A... | |
| Any superb balanced dacs up to $2,500 used?? ordered the Audiologic 24MXL dac- thanks for all the responses guys. |
