| Bricasti DAC owners Thanks for the heads up!! | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? Can we all just agree that every cable sounds different? To determine which sounds better is system dependent. Folks that can’t hear differences in cables (especially power) may just not have a system capable of highlighting the changes in sonics.... | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) I watched the video on my big system. Really liked what I heard. I am sure part of the reason was the podiums allowed me too. If they do that for an amp I can only imagine what they can do for a speaker. I checked the exhibitors list at Axpona an... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k I have had the following. Cerious Matrix, Audience 24e thru SX series, silversmith Fideliums and currently Townshend Fractal F1. Depending on your length they may be able to fit your budget. The Fideliums are the overall value leader though. | |
| LTA microZOTL or Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme 1.3? Tons of gain with the MicoZOTL even on low mode. Could never get past 10:30 with any amps I had. Sounded real good but real tough to just get the right volume. Lot of fun tweaking though with different tube and fuse combos,umbilical cords etc. ... | |
| Cary Audio DMS 700 vs 800 PV No, just the 600and 700 streamer/dacs. | |
| Crazy question. Any upgraded 2 prong 18 gauge power cords available ? Thanks. Never had a pice of audio equipment with a C7 cord. After looking around they are used quite a bit. Thanks on the adapter idea. | |
| Gotham Quadratic Diffusers So I would like to do this same thing with 4 across under my tv and above my equipment. I have no treatments at all. Please take a look at my system and tell me if you think I would benefit with the 1 row across. thanks. | |
| Crazy question. Any upgraded 2 prong 18 gauge power cords available ? Thanks. I should have Googled first !! Patrick made me a power cable for my conditioner. Good peeps. | |
| Cary Audio DMS 700 vs 800 PV Oops. Sorry I mis read your post. Glad you are still happy with the 800! | |
| Cary Audio DMS 700 vs 800 PV Hey Gabenda, I moved on to a Bricasti M3 w/network card. As you know I had a Cary 600 and 700. Very good and always listenable but just didn’t seem to get that last 10% of transparency. The 800 seems crazy expensive for marginal improvement. Are ... | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) I have owned the Seismic platforms for a couple years and they are transforming . Prior to the Podiums I was using spikes with Combak Harmonic footer. It is one of the few audio products that is universally praised by people who actually own th... | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? Retail around 50k Out of pocket around 30K I have a 50k boat but most of my friends have 150-250K boats. They look at my speaker cables and think I am nuts. I see them working their ass off on their boat and think their crazy. Everybody spends... | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? Fantastic room!! Maybe a few window treatments would warm up your digital side a bit?. Awesome setting!! | |
| Considering A New Streaming DAC (Pick 1 of 4) You can use Mconnect or other UPnP interfaces for the Bricasti. I really like my M3 but the Meitner MA3 looks pretty interesting. The Meitner offers a USB for local files so you could play your rips with no need for a nas or a streamer. Really lik... |
