| Cary Audio DMS 700 vs 800 PV Oops. Sorry I mis read your post. Glad you are still happy with the 800! | |
| Cary Audio DMS 700 vs 800 PV Hey Gabenda, I moved on to a Bricasti M3 w/network card. As you know I had a Cary 600 and 700. Very good and always listenable but just didn’t seem to get that last 10% of transparency. The 800 seems crazy expensive for marginal improvement. Are ... | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) I have owned the Seismic platforms for a couple years and they are transforming . Prior to the Podiums I was using spikes with Combak Harmonic footer. It is one of the few audio products that is universally praised by people who actually own th... | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? Retail around 50k Out of pocket around 30K I have a 50k boat but most of my friends have 150-250K boats. They look at my speaker cables and think I am nuts. I see them working their ass off on their boat and think their crazy. Everybody spends... | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? Fantastic room!! Maybe a few window treatments would warm up your digital side a bit?. Awesome setting!! | |
| Considering A New Streaming DAC (Pick 1 of 4) You can use Mconnect or other UPnP interfaces for the Bricasti. I really like my M3 but the Meitner MA3 looks pretty interesting. The Meitner offers a USB for local files so you could play your rips with no need for a nas or a streamer. Really lik... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers Underwoodhifi.com is a Melco retailer. Give Walt a call he may be able to get you the C100 cable | |
| iFi iPower X - hifi bargain? I have an IFI Power X on an Xfinity XB7 cable/modem and definitely a little bump. | |
| Wilson to Tekton to ???? Not a big Tekton fan but you will love the Townshend podiums!! | |
| new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today Thanks Ross I listened to the MA3 at a dealer with the flagship B&W 804? The Mac 600 w amps. Sounded good and the idea of attaching a portable SSD was pretty cool. I do like my current setup. Between the Melco’s filtering and the EtherRege... | |
| new Meitner MA3 hit the rack today How does the attached files sound thru the MA3? I could get rid of a box with my Bricasti M3 and Melco Na combo. | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC Take a look at Melco’s. Not as big on this side of the pond but huge in Europe and Asia. Storage as you need, Roon ready. You can stream thru Ethernet without the use of USB. I have had Aurender and Lumin’s and Melco’s are a step above. | |
| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? I have really enjoyed the Iconoclast 4x4 UPOCCC Gen 2. Absolutely destroyed the top of the line cables fro Audience (SX), Cerious ( Matrix) , Townshend . Separation of instruments and depth between instruments on the stage is what really stands ... | |
| Looking at best option for 20-25k for DAC Streamer combo I have to believe the Cary’s are not going to be what you are looking for. I moved on from a Cary DMS 700 to a Bricasti M3 and they are in different leagues. Cary’s will always sound nice but not get you that last 10% of resolution or dynamics. ... |
