| 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 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... | |
| The Importance of the Digital Cable Haha MacDude, i have to say I agree with you that the Black Cat SilverStar (even the Veloce) are just one another level compared to the Canare. | |

| CD Quality Versus Streaming Quality Fellows,I have an update. In lieu of a dedicated streamer on my list of must-haves, I may have corrected the inconsistency of streaming quality. More available bandwidth and also noise reduction.As a point of reference, currently streaming Apple M... | |

| Klipsch Forte ii too bright, or is it my room ? With Horn / compression drivers, I have always preferred lower-power tube amps. 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... |
