| Snake oil of the year? My dog pooping projects a more professional image than the wankers ripping this switch apart verbally and physically in this video. If you want to have a fun and productive discussion going, come up with a bit more interesting topic than this or g... | |
| IC cable to address RF coming from nearby FM station @converge i’m assuming you’re replacing the interconnects between your phono stage and preamp/integrated? I don’t think that’s the source of your problem. The root cause is most likely your phono stage, that would be the unit picking up the RF. ... | |
| Mahler on vinyl - your favorite Listened to Mahler 4 with Bernstein. Can’t say that I like it. Will continue exploring other symphonies from the list above by Bernstein. @crustycoot no issues with pops and ticks they won’t bother me too much as long as they’re occasional and mi... | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? @plaw room acoustics - see my first response on this thread. If you don’t have that taken care of(didn’t see you talk about it here), you will be wasting your time and money. Best speakers, components and cables in the world will not make up for a... | |
| Mahler on vinyl - your favorite Thanks all! Listening to these on Qobuz and checking availability on used market. | |
| Should I get a Roon Nucleus? @jbuhl bump in sound quality from only changing roon core? I get the stability part though…. | |
| Which preamp to go with pass labs x150.8 I wouldn’t worry about the age of the unit and get either the Ref5 or Ref5SE if you want to try an ARC preamp. | |
| Speaker Suggestions $30K Sasha DAW competitor? Screechy highs are usually attributed to the following: 1. Lack of room acoustic treatment 2. Speaker placement 3. Associated equipment - components and cables 4. Combination of all of the above I have Wilson Sabrina and there’s zero harshnes... | |
| Should I get a Roon Nucleus? Oh…and take whatever it is you were going to spend on dedicated roon core, sell your bluesound node and get a good streamer. | |
| Should I get a Roon Nucleus? It will most likely accomplish nothing for your audio as long as you don’t use that computer as a streamer. If you use that iMac as a computer for other tasks concurrently with running Roon and it doesn’t have enough brains to multitask, you will ... | |
| Need 25 foot interconnects Good quality RCA cables should do just fine. BlueJeans LC-1 are very good as a starting point. I have been using a 10ft set of these on and off for years (especially when in between cable upgrades) and they’re solid. I actually prefer the LC1 to M... | |
| Pass labs upgrade path I would say you’ll get more out of a preamp upgrade. By the way the volume control on Bricasti is a lot better than I thought it would be when I tried it on my M3. Just thought to mention it in case you need an interim preamp if you sell before yo... | |
| Pass Then vs. Pass Now Congrats! Keep us posted. | |
| DAC’s @holmz I must say you got an unusual combination of components there. I’d recommend you start a separate discussion, asking for some feedback based on your current set up rather than hijacking this thread. | |
| DAC’s @jerrybj that is some serious research with hilarious quotes. What did you do? Tortured some ASR minion to get it all? LMAO woosah dude it’s not worth it. |
