| Squeezbox Touch USB or SPDIF? I am surprised and feel slightly guilty when people agree with me as I'm certain there's a large mistake somewhere. | |
| Cambridge 640P Power Supply Upgrade Hey Woodrow...You're making my addled brain fog up...I'm not sure what you mean about the 640P as from what I see the inputs are marked as 12 volts on both the 640P and the DACMagic, and both original wall wart power supplies (that I just looked a... | |
| Vandy 2ci's in mint condition or Totem Hawks The Vandy 2Ci has to be the used speaker bargain champ. I don't have room for 'em in my current listening area (I use a Silverline Prelude/REL sub combo) but I love the sound of Vandys and had some 1Bs years ago that were amazing. | |
| What's the best pre-amp to use with the Acurus I had an Acurus A250 for years...a great amp even though I used it with a mediocre Adcom preamp. I did borrow an Acurus L10 preamp (from the dealer) for a while and it sounded amazing although I couldn't afford it for some reason. I think the Acur... | |
| Are Mcintosh Tube Amps really all that? I won't respect McIntosh until they move to China. | |
| Dual volume control - it should be standard I have no balance controls on my preamp (although I love my remote) and rarely miss 'em. Ever notice how much things change when you turn your head? I was using a test CD once and noticed some test tones REALLY change when you turn your head a lit... | |
| Squeezbox Touch USB or SPDIF? My 2 cents: I use the "Squeeze" S/PDIF output to a DAC...works very well and sounds amazing. | |
| How to best connect active sub to int amp? The REL system of connecting it to the speaker outs of the amp works great...positive left and right and one negative. It presents a very high impedance (100,000 ohms) to the amp so it doesn't disturb anything. | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? I admit that I'm wrong for not being more adamant and argumentative with my opinions. | |
| Classe move to China I think Canada will survive without Classe' as after all, they're Canadians...supposedly part of the British Empire (and some of 'em speak FRENCH!). Also, not that it's a bad thing, but America is by far the most dangerous country out there...to o... | |
| Classe move to China Blame your corrupt government as the "ethics free zone" because they're the ones who allowed the horse out of the barn. Corporations are bound by laws. Period. MAC would have to live with 50% profit margins if they made things in the USA...instead... | |
| Have digital players improved It's fruitless for there not to be fruit. | |
| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? True story: I had a 1960 Fender Deluxe guitar amp (brown tolex vibrato version...no reverb) that I thought needed attention (I'd owned and used it as a studio amp for 35 years or so) before selling it (mistake). It had old leakey caps...a reliable... | |
| audiophile rockers I have my original Royal Scam LP...I'll have to go check it out, although I have listened to it fairly recently. Interesting. I did notice my Gaucho (a fave) CD SUCKS compared to the vinyl version...I suppose I should look for a better version but... | |
| Have digital players improved It's about at least SEEMING smarter. Actually being smarter is something else altogether. |
