| KEF Blade Two - Unbelieveable I set up a demo at Bestbuy Torrance and listened extensively to the Blade 2 driven by Classé Delta monoblocks and preamp with Audioquest higher-end interconnects. The Blades were in a treated listening room and placed against the long wall approx.... | |
| RIP oregonpapa My sincere condolences to Oregonpapa’s / Frank’s family. Dear Frank, It is heart-warming to see the love people here have for you. Godspeed fellow audiophile. | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? I judge the stereo hifi system as enjoyable to listen to as follows; 1. Produces big room-filling sound at realistic scale that extends well out of the speakers to me the listener, with no sense of strain at either high volume or low volume level... | |
| Bully pulpits LoL! I am still laughing. EBM thanks 🙏 EBM said… ‘Very sad lets all CRY!!’ | |
| Tiny bridges everywhere, but why? DJones says..‘I wouldn’t spend much money or time fooling with cable lifters but it does make things look a bit neater. They do absolutely nothing to your sound so no need to worry they might cause a deleterious effect.’Ordinarily true. I would sa... | |
| The Importance of the Digital Cable Yes, everything matters.System resolution determines the degree to which those sonic changes are noticable. Many think we are batty because the sound systems they listen to are not quite resolving enough to hear any significant changes. | |
| Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art? Estreams,Music is a very personal thing. We should never make the mistake of holding a specific genre to be sacrosanct and beyond criticism. Each genre has its incredible music, and its mundane, even unlistenable music…whats that old saying? ….’On... | |
| How important is the pre-amp? Shortest signal path (not the same as least complex) is best and most efficient route to high-end sound imo. For digital sources, the future will see a well-designed preamp function with precise volume control built into primary components such a... | |
| cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl. That Mattel deck is fine indeed. Excellent isolation. | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) JasonBourne says..‘The same thing applies to cables. Cheap here works just as well as expensive. A $10 Monoprice digital cable is indistinguishable from a three or four figure cable - regardless of what the "golden ears" crowd claims.’LoL! Way to ... | |
| If there’s an audiophile exit ramp, this ain’t it… Lovely listening room Redwood! What a great place to sit and unwind. Love those large windows. And the furniture is so cool too. | |
| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality Geph0007,Thanks for your observation. I do get what you are saying. My latest experience has me much more willing to go the whole hog down the streaming path - albeit not giving up CD - because i definitely hear a major improvement after sorting o... | |
| The Importance of the Digital Cable I just have to say, this evening I’ve been listening to the Black Cat SilverStar MkII drinking a few wee drams of Finlaggan single malt scotch, and, well, wow! Resolution and transparency of this Chris Sommovigo masterpiece is just off the charts!... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend Great idea Verdantaudio. Will follow this enthusiastically.Antigrunge2, I have to agree. I’ve heard great R2R DACs, and know the sound of the Magicwire DAC in the Devialet Expert Pro, which is based around a Texas Instruments PCM1792 (Delta Sigma ... | |
| The Importance of the Digital Cable Aubreybobb, that is fascinating. Could you clarify what is needed to complete the optical chain you describe from router to amplifier? A set of transceivers (one to send at one end of cable and one to receive at the other I presume?) then stp glas... |
