PS Audio DAC

Hi

Ive been trying the PS audio DAC on the outputs of an older Pioneer DV-45 DVD player, ive tried it on the optical and the COAX outputs.

This unit has been well reviewed, the problem im having is that any differences in sound between the DAC output and the analogue L/R of the DVD player are minimal. In a very close A/B comparison you could possibly detect subtle differences but it would be impossible to detect in a blind test. I have a policy of not changing kit if I cant hear a difference, i was really surprised that it did not improve on my sound.

After enjoying involvement with the members of this forum for some time, I stopped visiting the forum several months ago and cancelled my subscription to Stereophile. I had two reasons: the content of the magazine and the forum included what I felt was excessive political commentary by the writers and the Editor, and much of the interaction in the forum was decidedly uncivil.

Just thought I'd flag this for the community at large - if you have an apartment, or a small to medium sized listening area, check out Avalon's Symbol speakers.

They are positioned between Avalon's NP Evolution and Ascendant models. I don't believe I've ever seen them reviewed in the US, but recently heard them at the outstanding Music Lovers showroom in San Francisco.

I told them it wasn't what it's cracked up to be

BOSTON (AP) - A lesbian couple who led the fight for gay marriage in Massachusetts has filed for divorce. Julie and Hillary Goodridge were among seven gay couples who filed a lawsuit that led to a court ruling making Massachusetts the first state to legalize same-sex marriages in 2004. The couple became the public face of the debate in the state and married the first day same-sex marriages became legal.

Why No Sales?

Every day a new economic indicator points downward. Most retail stores near me have been putting many items on sale- many substantially.
Yet whenever I visit my local hi-fi dealer, or Music Direct, Audio Advisor, etc., the prices seem etched in stone. I worked for a number of years doing home theater installs, and know that audio equipment has quite a markup, on the order of 40-50 per cent.
Thank you for reading...
