Three transport choices, which one?
Jeff, which DAC did you use at the time? I've read reports on Audio Asylum that the T-7000 did not do well in recreating the decay, kind of the "back end" of the notes, and that it was maybe not quite so airy and extended on top. I'd appreciate yo... 
Three transport choices, which one?
Factaudio, I've heard that the Museatex is an okay transport, but only okay, if it is not used with the BIDAT. Can you shed any light on this? Have you heard the Museatex with other DACs? Additional thoughts on its sound would be most welcome. 
Can anyone recommend center ch. for Shahinians?
Jer, I just looked at these on the web. Yes, they are oddly shaped - but the Diapasons are not exactly standard looking either! Very reasonably priced. I remember hearing Ohm speakers many times over the years.The stuff they offer is very reasonab... 
Can anyone recommend center ch. for Shahinians?
Holzhauer, unfortunately the room layout will not allow me to hang a Diapason or Hawk module off the wall or ceiling. The back wall is also home to a number of pieces of artwork and the ceiling supports the track lighting structure for the art (ye... 
A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help
Sean, I had already asked Richard about this. If you may not already know, his position is driven first and foremost by what is good for music. In that regard he is NOT a believer in a center channel. I already knew they offered nothing in the way... 
Better then Proceed CDD and AN DAC1.1x?
Chris, can you describe the sonic dfferences between the CDD and the 37? 
A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help
Yes, I saw the pictures. There're a couple of things that look a little familiar there (bg)! I'll have to give Dick a call about the new DEs. I have a friend who has the Hawks, and one of the things I was afraid to admit was that, while the single... 
A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help
My Shahinian brother (Holzhauer)! You bring me news I did not know. I have a recollection of the new tweeters going in, but when did the Double Eagles get this indicated redesign?Also, can you describe the new 100W monos? Is it "Bedini high bias A... 
A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help
Sean, is it possible to use the center for movies but then deselect it for multichannel music? I assume this would depend on the prepro being used. If that's the case I would maybe go that route, as I have heard MC music a number of times (on a fe... 
Better then Proceed CDD and AN DAC1.1x?
Stereo, is the CDD built like the PCD - a sort of cube shape? 
EAD lovers: tell me about the $10K TM Sig Classic
Michael, does that mean that the CAL did not (does not) have a 5.1 analog bypass? 
EAD lovers: tell me about the $10K TM Sig Classic
You interest me, Iam. Can you describe your impressions of the difference between the EADs and the CAL? 
Are any of the newer DACs better than BB PCM63s?
Yes, that has been going on for quite a while (the mods). And one of (if not the) first things to be modded is the power supply. That and (in extreme mods) the replacement of part or all of what is usually a monolithic output stage with discrete c... 
Is 24/192 all hype?
Thanks for that, Sean. It is as I suspected, but it's good to hear from another person. 
Transport recommendation for EAD DSP7000
Not quite sure yet, El. I won't be sending my 7000 in until maybe next week or the week after. I am in the process of emailing details back and forth with Greg over at Boelen. I should have said I "will be" having it upgraded. Sorry. Once I have i...
