| Which? Rotel,Marantz,MusicHall,Creek I own the Creek Evolution 5350 and can attest to its fine sound. Had Rotel RB-1070/RC-1050 which I found to be somewhat shrill with a lack of a 3D soundstage.The Creek is the antithesis of that sound.Vinny | |
| CAV-50 and 804 Diamonds Agree, CAV-50 with B&W 805's YES, 804's NO. I had both these speakers with the CAV-50 and this is my experience.Vinny | |
| Logitech Squeezebox Touch DAC: How Good? Ryder, it can be both/either wireless or wired...vin | |
| Integrated recommendations for electronic music I'm listening to the Creek Evolution 5350 to B&W CM1's and DEF Tech supercube 1 and Frank Zappa right now. In two words, I LIKE.Vin | |
| Using McCormack amp with Vandersteen II Yes, I use the McCormack RLD-1/DNA-125 on Vandersteen 2CE sigs. I very much like this combination and perhaps you will to.Vin | |
| Rotel RDV-1060 vs Rotel RCD-1072vs RCC-1055 I did at one time have the RDV-1060 and was very displeased with the cd sound. It just sounded closed in. I exchanged it for the RCD-1072 and have not wanted for more.NO comparison get the RCD-1072.Vin | |
| CJ CAV-50 & Rega Planar 3/24 I use a Grado PH-1 for the phono preamp to the CAV-50. Sounds great to me. | |
| ConradJohnson--Can their vintage compete with new? Well, I have the CAV-50 and don't think it is especially rolled off. It's sound is the most 3 dimensional amp I own. Sounds great with B&W 805s, which is a very detailed speaker, so perhaps there is a balance here.Vin | |
| Sony scd-xa777es vs scd-777es? I have the XA777es and think it sounds just great, at least too me. Have not heard the 5400es, but have grown sick of trying to keep up with the latest and just enjoy the music.Vinny | |
| speakers for a smaller listening room I use B&W CM1's in a small room (14x14x8)ft. I had to use the supplied bungs to plug the ports as the bass was just a little too much. With this done they sound very nice.If you are not familiar, the CM1's are (6.5w x 11h x 10.9deep)inch small... | |
| Logitech Squeezebox Touch DAC: How Good? Sutherk; good suggestion, but may I ask for an example of powerpac whose ripple voltage is near zero? Are you speaking of a linear power supply? Can you recommend one that is not too expensive?Thankyou for any information;Vin | |
| Airport Express "local clock" issue? Magfan, sorry for the late response. Thankyou, for the info on CA Tech Support. I will contact them and ask.Guess I may have been off track on the OP issue, sorry about that. Just thought it may be somehow related.Vinny | |
| Creek, Arcam, Cambridge - fullness and body I had a Rotel RB-1070/RC-1070 combination that was traded in for the Creek Evolution 5350. All I can say is what a difference.The reason I bring this up is the Rotel stuff did not sound full or have body/warmth. The Creek has this but also maintai... | |
| Airport Express "local clock" issue? I have problems, as mentioned above, with Airfoil to Airport Express to DacMagic when using the optical out from AE. No problems with analog and no problems using Itunes to AE optical out, that is skipping airfoil as it is not needed..In fact I ha... | |
| Dahlquist DQ10 Woofer Repair? As Howard indicated above, I mailed my woofer from my Dahlquist DQ-20's to Simply Speakers(simplyspeakers.com). Got them back in very short order and they were done to perfection. |
