    Ayre QB-9 DSD

    That's great to hear, if I had to complain about the dac before it would have been towards the high frequencies. They got hard sounding and very forward at times. There were times it deffinatley sounded digital, but some recordings, 24/96 Allison Krauss that were sooooo amazing, I can't believe...

    Room Treatments redux

    Has anyone played around with room Accoustics directly behind the panels? My vistas are about 6 feet off the back wall. Recently I started playing around with it. I tried blank cork board but that killed all rhythm and darkened the sound, IMO too much. I added egg cartons to the board and the...

    Do I Really Need A Dac?

    No ones has asked, so I will.... Do you want a 2 channel sound or a home theatre sound. Because an AVR is not for 2 channel and they are definitely not for 2 channel hifi. If you are trying to get 2 channel hifi then just upgrade the denon, if you want two channel by an integrated amp to save...

    Exactly Why Vinyl Isn't The Future of Audiophilia

    So as to original post of, wanting to hear other people's opinions....we don't need any red book quotes or anything like that :I Bevensee, I experience the same thing. Like I said, maybe it's the natural distortion as opposed to digital distortion, like tubes vs SS, I find that vinyl sounds...

    Exactly Why Vinyl Isn't The Future of Audiophilia

    I have been playing guitar for 22 years now and something that technology hasn't been able to do through digital is keep the organic real sound an instrument makes in the room where the distortion agreeably is higher on vinyl but is more like a real instrument, digital hasn't been able to break...

    Exactly Why Vinyl Isn't The Future of Audiophilia

    The audible difference between the two isn't debatable. I have both digital and vinyl. I have upgraded my dac to the Ayre QB-9 and all the cables are cardas, and a clear audio performance with maestro mm cart. I love the simplicity and ease of digital, but when I want fidelity I definitely go...

    Summits; Tubes vs SS

    One thig I would suggest is taking a hard look at a hybrid. Conrad Johnson tube preamp with a good solid state power amp preferably 2 mono blocks, I've had SS and tube on my vistas and they were very different,

    System #403 (Vista)

    I actually had to move to the long wall side. Where the record stand is, is now where I have the tv stand and Logans. The wall reflections were just too much to handle. I have added some sound treatments and now I'm playing with rake. The YBA and Logans are great, wish I had a little more power...

    Vista subs

    As far as the music I listen to; I have stuff from Jack Johnson and Norah Jones to InFlames and Metallica and Dream Theater. 50Hz is a good suggestion, should I slowly pan lower or higher, and volume is quite low, I have it roughly at 1/4. I was thinking of picking up the ML Depth i...

    For an amplifier I am using YBA 2Alpha pre-amplifier with a YBA 2 Amplifier; they are 2 1/2 feet from the backwall, innterconnects are analysis plus,

    Vista subs

    Hello; I have Vistas and wondering how I should set my sub. What frequency? I really miss the bottom end from my cabnit speakers and am hoping the sub will fill it in. Thanks Dallas
