God, you really are a pain in the butt, aren't you? I can't imagine what it must be like to be so angry and bored in life as to need to attack complete strangers on line. I hope you don't behave this way in person.
As stated elsewhere: Harbeth Monitor 40s ($9k, okay?) + ACI Force subs (relatively inexpensive and just wonderful); Carver Sunfire amp (a real dark horse); Bel Canto Pre2 preamp; Rane DEQ60L equalizer (with Fuzzmeasure software, Prenous Firexbox mic preamp, DBX RTA mic). All cables by Blue Jeans Cables, which are a real bargain, and every bit as good as the AP Oval 9's and Acoustic Zen Satoris I've had. Assorted room treatments. Custom stands to my specs by Skylan stands. Very careful positioning. Etc., etc. Now, go out and get a girlfriend or something, and chill out. Oh: the Rane carried AKM chips and the digital stuff was engineering by Ray Miller. Ray Miller did/does Wadia's digital stuff. The point is, if you're using the SB3 with a DAC that completely re-clocks the signal, it doesn't really matter what you're using as a transport. Like I said, yes, there IS a difference, especially with some recordings and some genres. However, for most listening, the stand-alone SB3 is a little marvel. I'm happy. I guess you're not. I feel sorry for people like you. -- highdudgeon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ highdudgeon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2195 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19475 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
