quad 2805 vs magnepan 1.7
the price here for a used 2805 in mint condition is a bit more than 3000euro. The dealer in Greece sells the 1.7 for a bit more than 3000euro!I think I am leaning towards the quads. Listening in low volume levels is important.Are the 2805 adequate... 
quad 2805 vs magnepan 1.7
ok thank you all.I am trying to listen a pair of 1.7.I would like to know if they can play acceptable in low volume levels (as JV wrote in TAS review).It's very ipmortant to me cause I have a baby in house.Quads are great in low volume levels.Keep... 
Magnepan 1.7
"11-11-10: CharlesjnicholasI've had my 1.7s for nearly 3 months and have several hundred hours on them. ......I'I much prefer them to the B&W 802Ds, Usher 718s, KEF 201/2s and Apogee Duetta IIs I've used in the same listening area over the pas...

Wadia ITransport

Wadia ITransport
wadia itransport is a bitperfect transport with high levels of jitter.with a dac capable of eliminating it the results are equal to a good cd.but always the high levels of incoming jitter affects the sound quality in even the best dacs. I have a n... 
Integrated amp with digital to analog converter?
itransport output has a lot of jitter.you need to choose a dac capable of eliminating it. 
My passive preamp project – DIY vs Deep pocket
pots or stepped are fine but passive with transformers are much better. no problems with impedance matching, more body, better soundstage.tvc is your next step.then music first audio. and finnaly ypsilon electronics passive/active preamp. Nikos 
Recommendation for Wall Mounted Speaker
Try the Sonus faber Elipsa auditors.Great speaker designed for close to the wall placement. Even a bracket for the wall is included.Search for ken kessler's review.Nikos
