Want to buy a high-end and excellent DAC, help plz
If you want liquid the Theta Gen VIII v.2 is the why to go. I bought one a few months back and boy did it bring out the music on my CD's. There is a used one currently listed for a great price and for an additional $1500 you can have it upgraded t...

I use a pair of Theta Enterprise Mono's. Seem to work very well with these speakers.

Are your referred to me Ckoffend? If so, I'm a bit confused by your last post. I never said anything regarding me or my friend being blow away by my system nor would I. That's not my style. Honestly, I have no others close to me interested in this... 
VPI Scoutmaster Upgrade
Ginkgo or some other type of isolation platform. 
vpi scoutmaster versus technics unbiased
I've had the VPI for just under two months and have replayed several of my most favorite LP's and most have shown a signifgant improvement in LP surface noise. Again, I don't think it's 100% fair comparision due to a different cart and arm. Maybe ... 
vpi scoutmaster versus technics unbiased
I just sold a fully modded M5G for a Scoutmaster. For some reason, in my setup, my M5G had a high pitched noise (was not a ground issue). The noise was coming from the pitch control. My previous TT MK2 did not have that problem. Anyway, in my syst... 
Tube phono preamp help please.
I second the Jolida. Cool part with tubes is you can roll them to (in some cases) achieve better sonics. Also Rogue is another to look into. Very close to the Jolida. Bellari VP 129 is another lower cost option. For slightly more you can pick up a...

One can certainly go back and fourth on this but for me I just don't know if my ears can hear that level of difference. What the hell is coloration anyway? Moreover, I think the point of this thread was getting the best of both worlds out of the C...

I used the Theta Dreadnaught as my two channel amp for a bit before I upgraded to Theta's Enterprise Mono's. I did not have the same experience as Ckoffend. It just goes to show that everyone's system and room are different. I still have the dread...

I think so. Certainly a great start. If your budget could get you to the Superior II DAC's I think that might be even better and very close to the Extremes at a much lower cost. Actually, most say the Superior II are your best bang for the buck. I...

Yes! Thanks Ckoffend that's what I meant to say. The CB3 is a very interesting HT Processor because of it's flexibility. If you have a really good all around CDP with good dacs and good transport than save the $$ and just use that. With the CB3 an...

Theta builds higher end DACs right into the CB3. Goto Theta's web site for all of the details. Or search here and AVS forum for details.

Theta offers three different levels of DAC's. Check out their web site for details. I've used the CB3 with their top of the line DAC's for years. This is one of the few Prepro's that can pull off sounding excellent in two channel. Just make sure y...
