| Harry Pearson's comments regarding ..... Jack,Thanks for the advice. I'll report back as soon as I can test it out.Also, I'll be testing out the USB to coaxial digital interface I came across that Paul endorsed. I can't wait to record 24 bit on the TRL ML9600 HD. It should be an interest... | |
| Harry Pearson's comments regarding ..... I second the Shine Ola. I just started using it after having used Nordost Eco 3 (which I still use on my cables) and Audience Auric Illuniator. The focus is definitiely improved. | |
| Benchmark DAC1 or Ah Reference Tjoeb 4000 The AH! brand new can cost you upwards of $1200. If your deck will serve as a good transport the Benchmark can be a good addition. Another option is to get an Audio Mirror D1 DAC for $500 (you can try it out first, just ask Vlad he is reasonable).... | |
| Jolida JD100A, How to bring it to the next level Rkerv,I own a D1 and actually thought of doing that so I could have more options. I ended up going in another direction, but I'm so impressed with the Audio Mirror D1 DAC I snagged the one that hit Audiogon today. | |
| Jolida JD100A, How to bring it to the next level Less is more with this player. I've heard two sets of mods and they are not worth it. If you want a solid state sound from your CDP go buy a solid state CDP. | |
| AES/CARY Sixpac Mono Amps,Anyone have these? The V12i I own performs nicely in triode. I was interested in the Six Packs at one time, but since I got a real good deal on a pre-owned V12i I went in that direction. I have played with two-thirds triode and the sound is a little less sweeter tha... | |
| Tube CDP vs CDP/DAC Combo There can be too much of the tube sound in a system, but the only way you're going to know is to try an in home test and hear it for yourself.As for your other quandry, you can upgrade the DAC with an Audio Mirrod D1 ($500 on Audiogon) and use the... | |
| Which cable to change first-intercon. or speaker? I upgraded the ICs first in my recent overhaul. Basically the ICs deliver the music from source to preamp to amp. Once I replaced them I got a good idea of what my speaker cables could deliver. I ended up replacing them but the important thing was... | |
| Do I need power conditioning I presently use a PS Audio P300 for source gear and have enjoyed it. Now I'm going to try out a Richard Gray 400 Pro and Running Springs Audio Haley to compare. The knock on the P300 has been that it is taking 1800 watts and squeezing it to 300 wa... | |
| Tube rolling for Jolida 502B Have you tried talking to Brendan Biever at Tube World? He has Jolida amps and is pretty knowledgable about NOS tubes for them. I don't own a Jolida, but when I dealt with him he helped me out with my Cary and in the course of normal conversation ... | |
| Do I need power conditioning Tbg,You seem to have done some researsh on the subject. Any thoughts on Audio Magic or Running Springs? Thanks | |
| audio mirror dac Rob,Should kick butt. | |
| audio mirror dac Jman66,Try the Flavor 4, I think you'll like it. If not, send it back during the trial period. Chris used his cable cooker to burn mine in so it was ready to go. Seems RidgeStreet is having a sale, I have the VH Audio Pulsar, but I'd like to try s... | |
| audio mirror dac Jman66,100 hours or so burn-in, but it will sound pretty good out of the box. Mine is on 300 hours now and is sounding unreal. I am definitely getting another one. Let me know how the pre-amp sounds.What digital cable and PC are you settling on? | |
| audio mirror dac Tom,What are you using as an output from your computer HD to the D1? I just bought a Red Wine Audio USB Select based on the M-Transit. I'm having Vinnie modify it so it doesn't have an analog stage or analog outputs. Just the USB and a BNC/RCA dig... |
