| Looking for a Warmer Sounding Phono Cartridge First thing I would do is lowering your VTA. It might just be enough increase in the low frequencies to soften up the top end. Worth a try since it costs nothing. | |
| Not sure for power conditioner my amp or not. @vonhelmholtz Great sensible advice. I plug my amp and everything else into the Black Lion PG-2R. Dedicated high current plugs, regulator and high surge protection. No difference in sound between directly into wall or conditioner. Trust your ea... | |
| Jay's "Ugly Truth" video +100 @mahgister You captured it succinctly and perfectly. I do spend considerably more money on equipment than mahgister does but I still spent way more on the room itself than the equipment. | |
| Time of Day for best Sound High humidity sucks the life out of the sound in my experience. Hence I use a dehumidifier to keep humidity at 40 or below. That makes a lot bigger difference in my house of stereo than time of day. | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! Now, let's talk about fuses. | |
| ? about Smoking Power Amp Lmao @carlsbad2 clean underwear reference. | |
| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? I am in the opposite of that conversation. I showed so much of my house of stereo system here, I haven't been able to add anything to it for months as I must be info maxed out. No more "edit" function at the bottom, simply gone! Oh well, too much ... | |
| If I rip all my CD's to flac files do I still need a CD transport? FYI, they are both digital ends. | |
| If I rip all my CD's to flac files do I still need a CD transport? I have a innuos zenith mk3 streamer which easily rips any CD in 5 minutes or less. However the sound quality of my Jay's cdt2-mk3 CD transport is definitely superior to it, even so they are both connected to the same dac with high quality cables. ... | |
| Recommend me a DAC under 3k You may be confused, you say you like clarity over warmth, yet you list the Gustard r26 as a possibility. The Gustard X26 PRO would be a lot more to your taste imo. | |
| Thank You Fumihiko Sugano and Koetsu Sad indeed. Just like with Buffet's passing, life goes on for the ones lucky enough to still be kicking. Like many here, the 60's were my birth decade onto audio, how much longer do we really have... knock on wood. | |
| SPL Diamond DAC - no remote control Remotes are an absolute must for me. Preamp, phono preamp, dac, CD transport, tuner and loki max equalizer all have it. Nothing like tuning the sound to your specific ears from you listening chair if that's the way you enjoy music. Without them it... | |
| What happen to MQA on Tidal? MQA never was welcomed in this house of stereo. I also dropped Stereophile and TAS subscriptions in part because of their sales pitch for it. Don't mess with music signals, lesson learned. | |
| JW Audio Signature Interconnect - I can't get anyone even to try them When looking for used cables, I just check hifi shark. It would list anything up for sale anywhere, even the stuff here on audiogon. A word of advice, go on hifi shark and see if any of your cables are up for sale anywhere and simply beat their pr... | |
| RIP Jimmy Buffett One of my wife's favorite. She got me a few margaritaville t-shirts over the years. RIP. |
