07-17-15: TheaudiotweakBdp24,Like a visual concoction of Dali the artist not the speaker. Some of these materials and shapes have been exciting at first but over a short period of time prove troubling for mind and body. Always into trying new thin...

07-16-15: DgarretsonI wouldn't conflate golden ears with thin experience in racks and footers. And this is after all a FORUM, not Diogenes the Cynic with lamp and a coronation of one honest man. The thread has becomes thread-bare for lack of compa...

07-16-15: Wolf_garciaNUTS…for "the group" (!) excepting Ralph who gets things, I offer this simple possible clarification: I use MY OWN EARS for my ultimate opinions on sound (yeah I know..astonishing), and admit I've never met a Charlotte based e... 
Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD
At this point, I am more interested in Matt's speaker/room fiddling. Dacs should be a distant second place. Any updates?

07-15-15: CtsoonerGear, I fully understand. I don't go to shows, or at least I haven't in ages and if I do, it will be to see friends rather than evaluate gear. Would be fun though I'm sure. I agree that I would need to hear in my own system. That...

07-14-15: AtmasphereThese ideas are not new BTW!! My Scully LP mastering lathe was built in the late 1940s and employs a special table equipped with adjustable points for feet. On top of that is perched a damping platform that decouples from the t...

07-13-15: CtsoonerI know that Steve is using the XMOS for his new DAC. Gear, I heard the 7's and they just didn't do it for me. Again, there are plenty of digital products that I do like, but I also can't justify the price of some of them as I see...
