| Pimping your router Doesn't it just slow the network traffic down to 100mbps, rather than cause the streamer not to work? For example I would slow down ports on a managed switch from 1Gb/s to 100mb/s, and a 1Gbs streamer would still work. But this was done at the s... | |
| Linn or T+A @lldd are you saying the older style Kimax DSM with Organik upgrade was not as good as the new Klimax DSM? I prefer the look of the old Klimax, and its price+ upgrade is a LOT cheaper than the new DSM. Linn have properly worked on the network bo... | |
| Telos Mini Quantum Resonator (MQR) & Puron Filter together I had the Qv2 (now sold) and found it definitely did something but did not prefer it in the system. A sideways steps if you will. I also hear this with the Add-Powr EU4. At first I liked it, but upon removal things free up and everything sounds mo... | |
| Telos Mini Quantum Resonator (MQR) & Puron Filter together @cappuccino Which of the QWave or QSine improved tv picture the most? Nordost website says QWave for A/V systems, but you are not the first to say QSine had a good effect here. | |
| Has anyone tried a linear power supply with a Weiss 204 or 205? https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/plixir-statement-lps-i-bought-this-flagship-grade-lps-just-now.36599/page-3 The user Vangelis on this thread tried a Plixir power supply with the Weiss and seems to be raving about the improvement. For more... | |
| High Fidelity Cables? @tranchautuan I would love to hear your thoughts on the new Apparition vs CT-1 UR (Ultimate Reference). I currently use the UR. I previously had the CT-1, CT-1E and CT-1U. Then stopped at the UR and had them for almost 10 years now. I never wen... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss @jimmy2615 Thanks Jimmy, I was wondering if the new T+A DAC 200’s analog volume attenuator would negate any advantage the Weiss 501 possibly had. Considering the T+A DAC 8 is an older generation, and you feel it is competitive with the Weiss... | |
| Looking for intermediate-step Streamer: better than BS Node and not @ Bartok level pricing @jmfawdofile I was in a similar boat and wanted a streamer that sounded better than the RPi and Node. Was going to try the Primare NP5 but went with the Lindemann Bridge II. It’s a German brand. Looks like a little box but don’t be fooled, high... | |
| Audio / Stereo Rack I have 4x Timbernation solid maple platforms (2" thick). I then had solid brass rod legs machined to a spike by a CNC shop and cut to various lengths so each shelf is stackable on top of each other. It all weights a ton. Had a few extra sets of b... | |
| T+A DAC 200 or WEISS 501 @blisshifi What do you think of the pre/volume control in the Weiss 501 vs the DAC200 ? Because the Weiss one is digital, but it has 4 voltage steps to keep things in the high range and as lossless as possible. But if one is after a dac/pre one... | |
| Weiss 501 upgrade to 4ch They should have just called it the 501/502 mk2 instead of this 2ch-4ch business. Too confusing. | |
| Testing Ethernet switch @mgrif104 Hans Beekhuyzen measured it. You dismissed it as irrelevant. Yet, it is there. You believe it cannot impact the sound quality and it’s possible you’re correct. But, you disallow for the possibility that you are not correct. There is n... | |
| Blog: Upgrade Inductors with Care I find it interesting that Rockport, which don’t skimp on price when building their speakers, don’t use foil inductors. They claim they do not sound as good as perfect lay coil inductors. Anytime I every upgraded my speakers or built a kit pair, ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables? @raysmtb1 You are not ’well aware’ of anything. Virtual Dynamics was started in the late 90’s. He specifically closed it in 2010 to pursue the magnetic tech which had investor money and many patents behind it. He could have just continued VD until... | |
| High Fidelity Cables? @raysmtb1 Every company develops new lines of products that they claim is better than the last. Why is it bad this time? You are just being irrational. |
