| 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... | |
| The Importance of the Digital Cable Jim (Tomic601), thats one heck of a system. Must sound amazing. I heard an aesthetix preamp years ago and was bowled over by how much insight it brought to the sound. Haven’t heard the Lampizator yet but by all accounts it phenomenal. | |
| The Importance of the Digital Cable Desktopguy, thats a great example. Oyaide has a great reputation. It’s easy to discount these things, but to know, one must try it out. For my system, the Black Cat SilverStar has elevated the sound very significantly. My son has good ears and he ... | |
| The Importance of the Digital Cable Hi Unfairlane,you said do an ok job. Respectfully, that is just the point. There is an ok job, and then there is an outstanding job. I understand a regular rca cable might actually work, as in generate sound. But it will sound nothing like the Sil... | |

Listening in close proximity to horn / compression transducers at louder levels can cause listener fatigue. With lower-power tube amps, the Forte should be much more t... | |
| High end high quality int. amp for low level listening Hi Celestial Sound.Those are all wonderful amplifier choices you are proposing, and your current amplifier is really a beauty too. If I understand correctly, you are happy with the sound yet feel there is more the speakers can do? Like yourself, I... | |
| The Importance of the Digital Cable Tomic601,Thanks for that great comment;‘what a nice thing to upgrade that cable for you - class act ! ‘Yes CFarrow is exceptionally generous and I am very grateful. I will report on my findings when I get it installed. You are right, it is a wonde... | |
| The Importance of the Digital Cable Hi Bigkidz. I understand why you might not see such a major impact from cables, because you build your components tailored to your overall system requirements and probably taking into account measures around noise elimination. That’s so cool that ... | |
