Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
My wife has listened with me for over thirty years. She was the one that said the dCS upgrade from the MSB Platinum was worth the extra $$. 
Bybee speaker filter questions
Just checked my instructions to see I hadn't put mine in wrong. Speaker cables from your amp to the Banana Posts/Connectors on the box. Flatwire out to Banana Pins to your speaker terminals. Let me know what you think. I like mine but I'm in the m... 
Any Opinions about Innersound ESL amps?
We're a tube kinda couple, but when my wife and I compared the Innersound ESL amp to our 400 watt customized Melos monoblocks, an ARC VT-200 and Threshold Stasis SA-2's we were mighty impressed. We tried the combo on the Eros and our old full rang... 
Speaker Positioning with Tact RCS 2.0
Kr4 is absolutely right. I went for overal fewest nulls at the listening position from my measurements and modelling. 
How is the TacT RCS 2.0 as a pre amp vs
My digital system is a Theta III (waiting to hear the new dCS unit),DMX Digital Music Express unit isolated via a ThetaLinque and an ATT connection to the Sigtech. Sigtech, dCS 972/elgar combo (z-Systems RDP and MSB Platinum alternative) Elgar dir... 
Speaker Positioning with Tact RCS 2.0
I use a wider than recommended spacing of my Dunlavy's with my Sigtech. I used some room design software and RTA room measuements to determine the places where the room modal response problems were minimized. Then I picked a wider than recommended... 
How is the TacT RCS 2.0 as a pre amp vs
Hbrandt. Thanks for the update. Your DAC comparison was much more careful than mine. Again, above a certain level of perfomance all of this stuff is very close to one another. That's why it is important to listen and decide if it is worth it to you. 
How is the TacT RCS 2.0 as a pre amp vs
It depends on your level of fanaticism and your budget. The DAC’s in the SigTech and Tact are not as good as the best stand alone DAC’s. From your perspective they, MAY be good enough depending on your overall system. I personally think the MSB Pl... 
How is the TacT RCS 2.0 as a pre amp vs
I've posted alot on this topic but the quick answer is the Sigtech is better. This doesn't mean the Tact doesn't work, it does. I own an MSB Gold, an MSB Platinum and a dCS 972/Elgar combo. They are all work as DACs but they are different. Greene ... 
dcs sound
Question for Jtinn, what kind of music do you primarily listen to? I'm going to check out the Audiomeca when I get a chance. The big difference I've heard in my dCS 972/Elgar compared to everything else I've heard including the Accuphase and the B... 
How is the TacT RCS 2.0 as a pre amp vs
For what it's worth, my experience matches Hbrandt. I have the dCS 972/Elgar combo. I have a Vishay resistor shunt to ground volume control built into each of my Melos Monoblocks. The Elgar is directly connected to the Melos. For serious listening... 
TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group
As per above, I compared the Tact to outboard DAC's and it isn't as good. The digital volume control is best over a limited range. I use a shunt to ground volume control in my monoblocks to allow for setting the output from the digital volume cont... 
TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group
I assume from your question that you would be using the Tact as a DAC also. The DAC portions of the Tact or the Sigtech are not as good as the best DAC's out there. The combination of a DSP and an MSB Platinum DAC (which I used for the last year) ...

I gave these speakers a serious listen and decided to stay with my Dunlavy's but I would strongly recommend tubes. I heard them with both the big CJ monoblocks and Spectral monoblocks. In my opinion if you like their sound you should stay away fro... 
Can $15,000 Sound As Good As $75,000?
I mean this response in good will and I'm ging to limit my comments to classical because it is the easiest example. I have a basic problem with the concept of perfection, or absolute sound. I just don't think it exists in anything let alone the re...
