| bel canto dac 3 cd 2 owners Oh... I didn't realize that, I knew that you mentioned it was a separate box, however, I thought it was an after market mod, so I didn't want to see you throw money at a product that I already believed was using a very good power supply.Rich | |
| Usher 718 BE's vs Focal 1007 BE's My friend has the Focal 1007 BE in her living room; hooked up to a modest Arcam receiver and a Velodyne sub, so I'm very familiar with the sound. It sounds good, and transparent, but lean in her system, without that much flesh on the bones of the ... | |
| bel canto dac 3 cd 2 owners Hi Chrissain,Great News! That was quick...., and I do recall that the DAC3 took at least 2-4 days to warm up initially to sound it's best, so you're probably going to be thrilled with it. Was this upgrade done at Bel Canto, and do they offer this ... | |

| Monoblocks vs Bi-amping Dob, since my first post misled you, that's why I clarified my intent in my second post.I'm familiar with the well deserved accolades of Spector.Dude Chill Out!Rich | |
| Monoblocks vs Bi-amping Hey Dob,That wasn't very nice! Let me explain further..., I wasn't suggesting that Spectron requires it.I was referring to the concept that, he feels he requires bi-amping or bridging may be necessary for his particular application.He didn't buy t... | |

| USB DACs with 24/192 via USB Lets' see the Benchmark DAC1 USB can handle 24bit/192kHz..., but not from its USB input, only from its digtial inputs. So can you buy a new 24bit/192kHz Computer Audio/Sound Card for your computer that has digital out to the digital in on the Benc... | |
| Monoblocks vs Bi-amping Hey Brian,Since you have to buy 2 of these Amps and they're not cheap, does it make any sense to look at other high-end Monoblocks, that don't require Bridging, or Bi-Amping?Rich | |
| question about speaker placement. dead end room? How is that book, I was thinking of getting it?Is it an easy, enjoyable read or is it a more technical reference book?Rich | |

| question about speaker placement. dead end room?

If the "back wall in your room" is the one with... |
