| More potential bad news for some big names... The high end has been in a slow motion collapse as evidenced by the explosion of companies exclusively doing 50-100k entry level products. It has fooled people into thinking it’s a sign of health. There actually has been no explosion, it’s just c... | |
| More potential bad news for some big names... Say what you want about Andrew Robinson, but at least he is willing to tell you when he doesn’t like a product, unlike 97% of the audiophile review industry. | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Interesting that you guys mention Cabledyne. I still have a full set of their copper ribbon power cables with the metal sleeving. They were very good and I think the only weakness was the Wattgate nickel/brass connectors, but they were such good v... | |
| Six DAC Comparison You really need to put a hundred hours on each DAC as well. Are they new units or 2nd hand? | |
| Shout out to Revival Audio Atalante 3 speakers @nonoise you still off the merry go round and have these? Apparently the genius behind this brand, Daniel Emonts, was chief designer at Focal and Dynaudio, but in particular he was responsible for the Dynaudio Heritage Special, one of my favorite... | |
| Anyone upgrade to the Merason Dac1 mkii? What are the RCA outputs like for Merason dacs? The DAC1 and Reuss has fully discrete balanced output, with 4 stages. But sometimes for the SE output a manufacturer will treat SE as an afterthought, and use cheap summing op-amps for the SE output.... | |
| Which External Linear PSU Upgrade for my Router? For routers, switches and NAS, I have found some LPS do not work so well, and can be worse than the included SMPS. I think its due to the fast high frequency nature of the network switches. But some of those LPS that did not work well with switch... | |
| Nordost QKORE I just upgraded my QKore ground wire from standard to premium for one of the connections, a BNC digital input on a Naim streamer. From first plug in, it seemed a subtle and just OK upgrade, like better bass. But after leaving it working 48 hours,... | |
| Six DAC Comparison That Merason DAC1 MkII has been highly reviewed and is known for a natural sound. Same as the Mojo. A good mix of DAC's here to compare. | |
| Stack Audio Products Review The AUVA products like the EQ have a particle damping system. This I presume results in peaks and brightness tamed - at the expense of transient performance. I found the AUVA EQ to have a warm spaciousness, with increased soundstage depth, moved ... | |
| DH Labs - Shunyata Cable Comparison I would like to know how good the DH Labs ethernet cable is. Last product I had from these guys was their rca sfdif digital cable and it was very good for the money. | |
| Weiss 204 to Bricasti M1 series? @ddafoe you preferred the Weiss 205 over Meitner MA3? I presume sound between the brands is quite different, or just better value? | |
| Need Impressions of SoundKaos Vox I actually am a metal guy but I don’t listen to that genre on my audiophile system, or like to listen loud. I like an airy and intimate/forward soundstage. These could be the ticket with my 14 foot wide room. I noted that Srajan gave them a lunar... | |
| Need Impressions of SoundKaos Vox I’m really interested in these. At first glance they look like tiny bass light Japanese style speakers. But they go down low, as long as they are placed close to sidewalls apparently. Seems perfect for smaller rooms. Audiophool how do they seem a... | |
| SnubWay Question Thread Snubway deals with high frequency noise generated by SMPS and tv’s etc while Main Stream filters noise in the audio band. Both compliment one another. |
