| Nuclues plus bricked Roon sounds like one thing I am glad I never got hooked on. | |
| What is the science behind audiophile fuses? They come in nicer boxes than standard fuses. Not sure how they improved my sound. However not super expensive considering the cost of everything else. But if I was on an audio budget I would definitely pass. | |
| What new gear have you just bought? Schiit Loki Max. Just bought it, not here yet. Will use it with CD transport, streamer, tuner and DVD player. Main TT will remain pure. Secondary TT already has the Puffin. I am all after the best sound for my ears and could care less how I get th... | |
| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint I'm in Texas too. House of stereo was my answer. Under 100k 4 years ago. | |
| If the DAC is the same, how different do CD transports sound? I went from a Cambridge transport to a PS Audio transport and finally a Jay's cdt2-mk3 transport. Absolutely amazing amount of difference in sound performance and all with the same Gustard x26 pro dac. Also of note, using the Jay's with I2S con... | |
| Are your listening levels healthy? Doing damage? Maximum 80 db. Plenty loud enough and does not worsen my tinnitus. | |
| Are higher end preamps worth the investment when you are only streaming Tidal & Spotify ? Since I run 6 different sources on my system, I would be sh*t out of luck without my preamp. | |
| How serious are you? A 10+ while I built the house of stereo and the ensuing 3 years to get it just right to my ears. Now it's smooth sailing and I feel I have regained my sanity. | |
| I used to think pricey interconnects were snake oil... Over any other kind of cables, digital interconnects make the biggest difference in my setup. | |
| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs I am strangely on total agreement with jasonborne on this one, don't waste your money on 24k CDs, standard 16bit 44.1hz are hard to beat. | |
| Ruminations On CD Players +1 @lalitk I use Jay's cdt2-mk3 CD transport with Gustard x26 pro dac which is also running my innuos zenith mk3 streamer. It all sounds equally great. Build for the future! | |
| Why Do You Listen? A Poll Question Some music is so good it will outweigh poor sound. Some music is so bad, no sound quality can help it. | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time Well done. I do master clock, ethernet switch, optical, quality power, ethernet and interconnect cables and a decent streamer over 5k. None of that seems like money wasted in my house of stereo. I somehow don"t even look for ways to improve my qob... | |
| How Much Do Aesthetics Factor Into Your Decisions? Zero. I have my own house of stereo, so who would care what my equipment looks like, not I, sound only. It's like art, you either like artwork on your walls that mean something or ones that match the drapes. That right there will separate the true... | |
| Perlisten S5t 14 k a pair, for speakers made in China, seems like a lot of dough. Saw a few reviews out there. You'll figure it out. |
