| EMM Labs DAC6 Joejr, your skepticism is understandable. yes, when emmlabs/Meitner questions are posed......those that own these units answer. as far as patting ourselves on the back......i think it is more a case of sharing our discovery with the curious. if a ... | |
| EMM Labs DAC6 Golden Ears, i respect your perspective and opinion.....but.....i beg to differ. my experience with the emmlabs gear has clearly resulted in a conclusion that it takes digital performance (both redbook and sacd) to clear new levels.it is one thing... | |
| Can 33h's properly drive Salons with punch & SLAM? it is a matter of degrees. the 33H's have plenty of punch and slam......especially if you wire them for 220 volt operation.........but........when i switched from the 33H's to the 33's......there was much more control and lack of congestion on the... | |
| Avalon Opus without bass ? Marc, if you listed your room dimentions and type of amplification it would be easier to offer specific advice......as you really need to consider amps/speakers/room as a package.one thing to consider is that the distance between your woofers and ... | |
| How much does rock-solid speed stability cost? in the 'real world', a high-quality belt-driven tt is the way to go. i agree with Twl that it is possible to minimize (not eliminate) the design limitations of belt-drive to a degree that makes them non-issues unless compared directly with the Roc... | |

| Difference between active and passive preamps i agree with all the previous comments regarding passive's advantages and the system issues required for passive to perform properly. for passive to work correctly in your system you do need sufficiently high input impedence amps, short interconne... | |
| DACs: Burmester vs. Meitner vs. dcs Dolphin, good question. i have heard both the Burmeister and dCS at CES both this year and last. i also have had the dCS in my room about 2 years ago......so my opinions are not only based upon this past weekend. i feel (especially on the dCS whic... | |
| DACs: Burmester vs. Meitner vs. dcs after hearing all three at the Stereophile show in San Francisco this past weekend......it is not close; the Meitner was a good deal better than the other 2 on redbook.....and light-years better on sacd. i went back to these rooms multiple times t... | |

| WADIA / dCS / AA Capitole - the ultimate CD ??? . i've had the Meitner emmlabs DAC6 and modified Philips SACD 1000 for the last 4 months. it replaced the 24-bit Linn CD-12 and the Marantz SA-1 in my system. i have heard all the digital sources mentioned in this thread either in my room or at CES.... | |

| BAT VK75SE buzz and humming ?? help.. the Ghost of the Buzzing Halcro's has come back to haunt you.but seriously, maybe try moving the amps to another room with your surround speakers and Capitole and see if that eliminates the buzzing......you may have some sort of RF that is being r... |
