I have owned CD players that upsample. I have never owned a DAC that had the capability so I am going to ask a foolish question. The Benchmark DAC1 has upsampling ability. How does this work. Does it simply recognize an upsampled data stream from a CD player or source, or does it take a signal from a CD player and then do the upsampling. I ask because I hope to aquire the DAC1 and am curious about which inexpensive CD player to use with it, one that upsamples or a cheaper one that does not but that I already own???

I recently inherited a an old Eico HF20 from my dad, found another one relativley cheap, and had them both refurbished by a knowledgeable technician. I have them running through a pair of new Klipsch RB-81s and really like the sound but I still have some questions about them. I know that it is unusual, if not frowned upon, to attempt to run two mono integrated amps simultaneously for stereo listening, but I have found that the two amps do not sound 'identical'.

Six short minutes offers a glimpse into the new release.

Hi everyone. This is the first of what I hope to be many posts on this board. I'm relatively new to the Stereophile world and recently got a job at Audio Visions South, a consumer electronics sales and integration company in Tampa, FL. I'm hoping to use this board to expand my knowledge concerning the world of high fidelity audio and possibly meet some people that share my interest and excitement regarding high-end audio gear.

Howdy, I'm trying to get some speakers I've recently come to own. I tried out two different amps with the speakers.This is what I've working with,

2 Speakers: Carver - Amazing Loudspeaker Platinum IV

Amps: Kenwood - KA-4002 Solid State Amplifier
Lafayette Stereo 10B Solid State Amplifier

I hooked my video game audio RCA cables to the amplifiers. Both popped when I turn the audio source on, but neither produce any sound except a small buzz. I also tested this with headphones to the exact same result.

Since working, it's been difficult finding the time to visit different record stores. I usually know what I want to get and head over to Bleecker or Other Music or something during lunch or after work. But are there record stores close to Wall Street? Would love to save some more time.
