| One of the best HDMI cable? The monoprice hdmi cables that were supposed to pass 4K HDR were causing the video to drop out periodically. They worked fine on 1080p but not 4K. Switched to Nordost Heimdall 4K and now have no problem. These were 3m cables. | |
| Why do my new Transparent cables make my system sound muffled? I had a similar experience with TA. Muddy bass and lesser resolution until you move into the higher-priced models (XL or higher Gen5). I find it fundamentally wrong when a mfr requires you to spend $10K+ on a single cable to get the same resolut... | |
| Home Theater Processor I have the avm60. It performs great, but the sound quality is relative depending on what you're used to. Don't get me wrong, the SQ is very good. But in the context of the rest of my system, which has fairly high resolution, it brings a slightl... | |
| Nordost Odin or Valhalla 2 bo1972, at the risk of extending what you have turned into an excruciatingly annoying thread, I believe you missed wlutke's point. The OP asked about Valhalla Gen 2 versus Odin Gen 1. You continue to make generalizations about all Nordost produc... | |
| Why are there no botique car audio recievers? google car audio tube preamp. there are some out there, like hss. | |
| Earliest "MOST WANTED" gear I'm more of a newbee. In around 2000, I had no idea the audiophile world existed. Went into a Tweeter to buy a rear-projection TV. The savvy sales guy had me listen to Martin Logans with Krell class-A gear - Kct pre, Fpb400cx amp, and Kps-28c CD p... | |
| WP 5.1 vs WP7 Congrats, enjoy! Take off the grills; it makes a big difference! | |
| Is DSD download already an extinct format? It's curious how audiophiles devote so much time and energy toward their gear to get higher resolution and better sound, but complain about the introduction of new formats that enable better resolution and sound. No problem spending a bunch of sil... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Krell 300i. Couldn't wait to get it out of my system, and I'm a Krell fan. Weak sound, lousy bass, lack of resolution, noisy, ... | |
| OPPO BLU RAY PLAYERS They're a step ahead of you. Oppo has built in apps for netflix, roku, berlin philharmonic, etc. that it uses to stream content wirelessly with its built in web browser. I watched a live performance of the Berlin Philharmonic yesterday, then watch... | |
| Where is All the DSD? Agreed on Sony's availability. I guess it depends on what kind of music you want to listen to. There are on-line DSD download sites now. Acoustic Sounds has 280 DSD albums for download, and there are others - Channel Classics, Blue Coast Records, ... | |
| Oppo 105 in place of pre/pro Interesting thread. I just got a 105d and had the same question. How is the room correction performance compared to, say, the Audyssey processing that you would get by going through a receiver?I currently run my oppo into a Denon. I've never been ... | |
| Tried DSD? I did. Sounds the same if you have the right setup. Glad AS made this leap. | |
| Preamp for headphone use Ray Samuels Audio. I used the B52 with 800s for a while. Sounded great. | |
| New Krell s550i Impressions? I hope this new integrated has better sound and quality than the s300i that it replaces. I'm not saying it's because it was made in China, but the quality was a step down for Krell in my opinion. I had a FPB-400cx and KCT and loved them. Recently,... |
