| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @atmasphere Thanks for your response. What you said makes a lot of sense. One question, do you mean voltage drops from the "wall" or within the amplifier itself due to volume adjustment. Excuse my electronic engineering ignorance. If from the wall... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? Good power cables are essential. I'm just wondering if the expensive aftermarket cables make things "better" over the stock cable. Honestly, I'm not certain Atma-Sphere even supplies a cable with their equipment. @yesiam_a_pirate I'm with you, I... | |
| Svs sb17-ultra for music I am considering the REL HT1510 Predator for music. REL is having a big sale right now | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? @laoman I will check the two vocalists and give a listen. One thing...this is the first Topping DAC I have ever listened to. | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @carlsbad I'm guessing the $4000 cable cost nowhere near the selling price to produce. I'm also guessing the external $4000 cable will offer nothing better than the internal wiring of the component power supply can deliver. Again, assuming we are... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @jea48 Nothing negative at all. I love Ralph’s products. Ralph is the only high end manufacturer that I am aware of on these forums. I always respect his opinions. I’ve seen Nelson Pass quotes to where (paraphrasing) "high end" power cables are no... | |
| Heritage Cornwall Iv's vs ZU Audio Omen Defs Looks like ZU has discontinued the Omen Def Supreme. I'll probably be buying my final pair of speakers (High efficiency) withing a couple of years. I'll also hang on to my ZU's. Right now the Cornwalls look to be perfect with my Luxman 595 ase Cla... | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? @laoman I actually listen to quite a bit of classical/Choral. I'm a huge Arvo Part fan. As far as actual solo operas, I rarely listen unless it pops up while playing Qobuz in the background. I'm also a huge classic/bob Jazz and classic Rock fan. T... | |
| My Brief Impressions of FiiO’s New K11 R2R DAC & Headphone Amplifier I'm bummed. The Zen stream cannot do two outputs (usb-s/pdif) simultaneously. I really do not want to purchase a second steamer. I love my E70 Velvet and would not want to eliminate that because of native DSD. | |
| My Brief Impressions of FiiO’s New K11 R2R DAC & Headphone Amplifier I think I will try it out and add it as a second DAC to my E70Velvet using the s/pdif from my Zen stream. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. I'm guessing the owner feels the speakers are lacking in a certain department within his room. We do not know if the owner has any treatments. For all we know the room may be four concrete walls. The speaker manufacturer cannot know every customer... | |
| Bose 901 Review Well Done. When I was a kid, I would dream about 901's from all the ads in Stereo review. Thru the years I thought about building a vintage 2nd system and finding a pair. One thing, never dismiss vintage components (assume everything is working). People an... | |
| Suggestions for high efficiency speakers? Congrats @fosolitude Are you still running a subwoofer? | |
| Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? I have the Topping E70Velvet and it sounds superb. I think everything is system and personal preference dependent. Plus, everyone assumes people's ears are all the same...not true. | |
| Does USB cable length make a diference? I like the option of changing out a DAC. Streamer/Dacs are fine........I just prefer to have options |
