| Good entry level cables It’s seems you have not heard Audio Envy cables. If you did, you have not made the above statement. The bottom line is most top cable designs utilize OCC as it gives the absolute purest base platform to get that much closer to true absolute tr... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) You would be surprised how many people say that there's harshness or brightness in the highs when they are actually hearing midrange frequencies, especially the upper midrange. Most people hear frequencies in the 3000 kHz to 5000 kHz range and mi... | |
| Lumin U1 vs Lumin U1 mini + sbooster? I can safely say to just don’t bother with the U1 Mini, if you have the funds just go for the big brother U1. The difference is so noticeable that it’s not even worth comparing them, the U1 is simply better This is likely true if you take the ... | |
| Audiogon Is Noisy Try downloading Adaware and running a full scan. It is an anti-spybot product. I have found that Adaware will find a lot of things that normal antivirus programs miss. A lot of web-based trojans. These can actually affect web browser performance o... | |
| Good entry level cables I would recommend Audioquest Rocket 44 "no frills" version from Audio Advisor. These are significantly cheaper than the retail version of the Audioquest cables. They do have a "premium no frills" version that uses better terminations (spades/ban... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) I would probably go with the Salk SS 6M. | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Klipsch RP 600-M. Obviously these are lower end speakers. The plastic horn on this speaker can have a tendency to resonate, causing a shouty type of result. That combined with the metal woofer could result in a harsher upper midrange.Focal 936... | |
| Cheap/expensive or expensive/cheap? A good system with a bad power cable will sound better than a bad system with a good power cable. Same applies to all other cables. Yes, cables make a difference but they aren’t going to move the needle as much as fantastic primary components...n... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Are you using silver cables? That will have a definite influence on bright highs. | |
| Recommendations for Blu-ray Player The problem with optical toslink is that the light emitting diodes (LED) cannot light up fast enough to produce a perfect square wave. The wave comes out almost curvy (almost like an analog sine wave). You also have potential problems with the l... | |
| HDMI i2s Cable I'm not sure of your confusion. Obviously, you cannot connect an i2s transport to a AV processor. And you cannot connect a standard AV bluray player to an i2s DAC input. However, all these devices use the same HDMI cable. A standard AV HDMI ca... | |
| HDMI i2s Cable Uhmm, my understanding is i2s with an HDMI port can still use a standard HDMI cable. The i2s interface will not use all the conductors, but it’s just a standard HDMI cable.An "i2s" specific HDMI cable will have missing conductors for several of th... | |
| HDMI i2s Cable There is a .5 meter Silver Starlight 7 available if one of you was interested in trying it:https://www.ebay.com/itm/WireWorld-SSH7-0-5m-HDMI-cable-Free-Shipping-Working-Properly-d442/26478710...But personally, I would pick a 1 meter Silver Starlig... | |
| HDMI i2s Cable The Platinum Starlight 7, Silver Starlight 7, Starlight 7 and Silver Starlight 6 HDMI cables (along with Silver Starlight 6) all use the DNA Helix design. These are described as 23awg cables, but they are actually 2 x 26awg wires for each of the m... | |
| HDMI i2s Cable I don't have any experience with i2s, but every other digital interface/cable that I have used still has problems with shorter cables. This includes HDMI, S/PDIF, USB. Since i2s is just about the same as S/PDIF, but without the S/PDIF wrapper, i... |
