| EVS Music Purifier Don't use both at the same time. I only like the music purifiers, on the speaker terminals. | |
| Recommendations for HDMI cables specifically for audio quality @soix I agree and wished they did a 1m. I asked them multiple times about this and they insisted they will only do 2m. But according to @auxinput he says to not get under 2m, and he seems to have done a lot of testing of these cables. | |
| Recommendations for HDMI cables specifically for audio quality The Mapleshade Vivlink v3 Plus will leave almost all competing HDMI cables in the dust for only $240 USD. Look up who the engineer was that designed it. The only negative is the fragile construction, like all Mapleshade products (this is by desig... | |
| GR Research Power Cables @fleschler You said at Grover they found an all copper plug that sounded best. I too found the same thing- that pure copper plugs sounded best, even better than gold plated. But the cheaper ones can tarnish over time, that is the main issue with t... | |
| Nordost QKORE As much as I sing the praises of the QKore I do not like it with the RCA wire cable so far. I only have a secondary SPDIF RCA input on the DAC, and another SPDIF RCA output on the Oppo player. On either I find the QKore to do little or even be a ... | |
| GR Research Power Cables That's because the higher end Furutech are rhodium plated, and the lower end gold plated. I do not prefer the rhodium plating on power connectors, it introduces an artificial brightness. Years ago LessLoss audio did a paper on the plating effects... | |
| Nordost QKORE I just recently cleaned my audio room, took the entire system apart e.t.c After putting it all back together it sounded great, but something was missing. I had not yet connected the QKore ground wire to the QB8 power distributor. That single cha... | |
| To bolt Standmounts to stands, or not? If you are not going to hard attach the speaker to the stands, I think the best thing to place between them is the Atacama Isolation Gel Pads. They sound great, are cheap, and available in black and clear. They do not make a mess like blu-tac and ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? The sort of person who bases their purchasing decision purely based on measurements, will also be the person who buys the cheapest product with best measurements. Why on earth would an audio manufacture want to pursue that customer? Its pointless... | |
| WEISS 501-502 DAC This is a DAC brand we need to see more reviews of. For me the Weiss products are almost affordable while something like the DCS is not. | |
| Contact Enhancer Q45T I really do want Rick to succeed and this product to be awesome but it is very expensive as far as contact enhancers go. The reviews have mostly been raves. The Mad Scientist stuff is 9x cheaper though. | |
| Contact Enhancer Q45T my oh my: a lot of shilling going on on this thread. I have used Mad scientist, Acoustic Revive and a few others. Mad Scientist was the most effective Shilling is where a dealer, vested interest or the manufacturer itself come in and pretends t... | |
| Contact Enhancer Q45T Who else has used this product and what can give an honest report? | |
| What's going on with the used audio gear market? I’ve had 2 McIntosh pieces on Craigslist in the SF bay for a month that would’ve sold within 4-6 days max 4 months ago… Yes there has been a distinct slowdown in the last month or two. The rush to hoard and accumulate that was peaking 4-6 month... | |
| Well I joined the Silversmith FIDELIUM Speaker cable club today With any foil cable the placement of each leg in relation to the other is important. Keeping everything equal distance - like with those cable lifters made by @bigtwin - will improve things. When I was experimenting with copper foils I found havi... |
