    Mark Levinson 30 or 37 Transports

    I was looking at getting either the ML 37 or 30. Yes, I know they are old, but I have owned both many years ago and I liked them. Which do you feel has the better sound? Btw, let's assume both are mechanically in great condition. Maybe some of it is nostalgia at this point. Thanks.

    dSC Rossini Versus Rossini Player

    Let me throw another one at ya. Vivaldi (DAC only) versus Rossini with clock. Put aside network capabilities etc. Just purely sound.

    dSC Rossini Versus Rossini Player

    Thanks. I did some additional reading after making that post and did not know about the multiples. Kind of good news and bad news. The good news is I got the answer. The bad news is I’m going to spend more money. :)

    dSC Rossini Versus Rossini Player

    Thanks for the comment. I'm opting for the Rossini without the transport. I was looking at the specs of the Rossini clock. The specs say clock frequencies of 44.1 and 48khz. So does the mean that it. has no affect when streaming 96 or 192khz?

    dSC Rossini Versus Rossini Player

    I am considering either the Rossini or Rossini player. The two are identical except for the CD transport.... oh yea, and the money. :) Does anyone know if they sound identical? I know it sounds like a weird question. The reason I'm asking is for example, the Bartok and the Rossini DAC is the...

    MSB Discrete versus Premier DAC

    Thanks for your reply. Good pickup. I meant the Discrete versus Premier. I should have explained better. I find that with some components I have purchased in the past, as I went up to the next model, there was more resolution, detail, transparent, but it lost some ofa full sound. It sounded...

    MSB Discrete versus Premier DAC

    I was looking to make a decision between the Select and the Premier. Either would be used with the Powerbase. This might be not the normal question when addressing this comparison, but is one more musical to listen to than the other? Obviously the Premier has more detail and other attributes...

    Audio Research REF 75SE and REF 80S

    I think the better bang for the buck (if I can even use this phrase here), would be the Ref 6 preamp over the 5SE that I own.

    Audio Research REF 75SE and REF 80S

    It does have the same four layer circuit board. From what I read, it is basically the 160S but half the power. AR is still selling the REF 75SE on their website as well. However I do see some dealers that have the REF 75SE selling for less than original retail.

    Audio Research REF 75SE and REF 80S

    I actually have the REF 75SE, I was wonder the difference in sound. I know it is now switchable between pentode and triode mode. I do like the auto bias feature. Of course, if there is not much difference in sound, then of course there is no reason to change amps.

    Audio Research REF 75SE and REF 80S

    Does anyone know if the new REF 80S is an upgrade over the REF 75SE, or more of a side grade? Did AR do away with the SE suffix? Thanks.

    Shunyata Omega QC, Shunyata Denali 6000 V2 component power isolation

    Try swapping the 20 amp breaker for a 30 amp breaker. I did it and it definitely improved the sound even though I wasn't drawing close to 30 amps. It's am inexpensive tweak.
