| AES cable for Berkeley Alpha Dac @hgeifman +1 for the Snake River Boomslang digital cables!This is an older thread, but IMO and for the sake of recognition, the Snake River Boomslang is one heck of a great digital cable! I started out with their SPDIF cable with BNC connectors (w... | |
| Three weeks with Omega SAM's As Bon ( @jayctoy ) mentioned the SAMs are wonderful, I had them for a couple of years, then went on to a pair of SAM HOs. As good as the orig were, the HOs have more quality bass, play louder without distortion (better handling of more complex mu... | |
| Which USB Cable to buy And to get my 500th post, lol.....I found that USB cables with separated (isolated) 5v lines to be sonically better to those that did not have it separated. | |
| Which USB Cable to buy There's a Verastarr Nemesis USB cable listed here now, at a really nice price (no affiliation with the seller, yada, yada, etc.), which is an EXCELLENT USB cable. I have been using one for the last couple of years, and in direct comparison, I pref... | |
| Might try a tube preamp @bbreneman1 +1 for the Backert Preamp; I use the Rhumba 1.2.Excellent sounding preamp that's highly tunable based on the relatively inexpensive 12au7 family of tubes (uses a pair). Highly recommended! | |

| High pass filter need @bundy I'd suggest the Harrison Labs FMOD inline high pass RCA filters. I've used them, and they are quite transparent, and do the job just fine. They filter at 12db/octave, so whatever value you get, take half of that value, and that becomes y... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat @mrs_ppt Welcome Krissy! You gotta tell hubby to reduce his pricing so that I can get on the E Mat bandwagon! :) | |
| In need high-efficency speakers @jayctoy @ihor Thanks guys!@mjcmt I wrote a lot up there, but ultimately, if glorious MUSIC is your #1 priority, then it's hard to go wrong with the Omegas; they connect me to the music and artists like no other I've tried. | |
| In need high-efficency speakers +1 on the Omegas... I'm with @jayctoy @ihor @jmolsberg recommending the Omega speakers, and the owner Louis C is fantastic to work with, bar none!I've owned Klipsch Heresies for a few years, I've owned the Zu Essence for a couple of years as well... | |
| Axpona 2018 @joseph287 You meant 2019 I think?? | |
| Metrum Dac owners @ajnackman I have the Onyx, and I used to use it via USB and my MacBook Pro laptop. It sounded ok, with no pops or other distortions. I did go thru all sorts of USB correction devices, decrapifiers, Ultrarendu, etc. but not much really improved... |
