Isotek Orion GII
Well, now that I've used it a bit, I have an opinion.Works well, however, in my system a slight but consistent reduction in high frequencies and resolution. Produces what appears to be a reduction in soundstage and subtle cues that give ambience t... 
"Internet Radio" Suggestions Please?
Ones that I listen to a fair bit (CKUA perhaps moreso than others) . . . . Bartok Radio, DR Folk, TSF 89.9, CKUA (local public radio . . . . my view the best in it's class), France Musique, France Vivace, Folk Alley, WGBH, Virlands Early Pink Floy... 
Plinius 9200 phono stage w/Clearaudio Emotion CMB?
A follow-up to my original response. Forget gain issue . . . the issue lies with just how noisy the high-gain phono setting on the 9200 is. May be just this amp, but I've run across similar comments from other owners.Similar tactic thought . . . I... 
Plinius 9200 phono stage w/Clearaudio Emotion CMB?
Perhaps completely unrelated, but my Clearaudio Symphony cartridge (VPI TT) paired with the 9200 may be requiring a separate phono stage w/ gain adjustment. I wouldn't have thought so, using the hi-gain setting with this 0.7 output, but it present... 
What speakers match well with my Plinius 8200mk2?
9200 with Tyler D3M's. Excellent. 
Circuit Status
Having to bring up this thread again as I'm now at the point of having an electrician come in to install. I live off the beaten path, so choice is limited; more so the experience or knowledge of electricians regarding this type of work. The one I'... 
CDP for Plinius/Totem Combo
Alas, purchased my 9200 before the balanced input feature, so limited to unbalanced.With that purchase, new Tyler monitors, replacing my LP12 . . . . no near future upgrading of electronics! At some point it would be nice to hear the balanced outp... 
CDP for Plinius/Totem Combo
Using a Bryston BCD-1 input to 9200 feeding Tyler monitors. Excellent resolving, neutral sound with soundstaging and instrument timbres galore. I was unsure at first due to several critiques as to 'cold' sound from the Bryston, but after an involv... 
Tyler Acoustics D1: Listening impressions
Nice review. I'm finding many of the same traits with the D3M's that I purchased. Running those with the DS12 sub. Similar to yourself, an intial etched sound (~ my term) to the tweeters, now attenuated but with incredible resolution. Excellent mi... 
Internet Radio Hardware
A followup to my original query . . . Checking further, I'm seeing two seemingly critical upgrades required to any of the squeezebox units: PSU (ex. CI Audio) and external DAC. Given that I have neither of these (again, my only critique on the Bry... 
Internet Radio Hardware
For the moment, I have been hooking up a laptop to my system. Not having a DAC available (and my Bryston CD player has no input), I've been running F/W to one of my Focusrite audio interfaces that I use in my keyboard rig. Does the trick (save for... 
A CD platyer that is s sonic match to an LP12?
I purchased a BCD-1 to replace a Cyrus CD player; this in addition to having an LP12. The Bryston has the prat, musicality, detail down in spades, but it is more neutral than any LP12 I've ever heard (some call it cold, but I take it as neutral . ... 
Audience Au24 - Did any one have problems....?
No. Audience all around. 
Dedicated Lines, Now what?
With this two circuit setup, if (say) an integrated or pre/power in one duplex, how best to deal with the power for the digital and analog (TT) sources?
