| Will a quality USB cable make a difference.... Steve,Streaming data is streaming data, whether it's audio files or instrumentation data. It's either bit perfect and time correct or it's not. Yes, jitter is problematic but, as I'm sure that you would agree, not nearly as much with USB2 as it wa... | |
| Will a quality USB cable make a difference.... Steve, I didn't read your post until after my little rant. Please keep in mind that USB is not an audio interface - it's a source to peripheral device connectivity bus. As far as USB is concerned, there is no difference between audio files and jpe... | |
| Will a quality USB cable make a difference.... Ed, do you know me or anything about my audio experience? I worked in the audio business for several years in the 1970s, and while I am in the computer business, for the last 20 years my firm has specialized in systems for the A/V and digital medi... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? The best speakers I ever owned for piano, in particular, were my Apogee Full Range Planars. They have the added benefit of providing a true 25Hz to 25kHz response. But they are big (over 6' tall) and require a small power generating station as a s... | |
| Will a quality USB cable make a difference.... The Diamond usb cable is so much better ,it is across the board better than the carbon usb cable. The top end air, the transparently and better defined bass are easily distinguished differences. DonÂt let anybody kid you there is no difference am... | |
| K and K Audio RAKK dac Mingles, the "The Big" DIY DAC is now four years old and is quite out of date. Surely there is a more recent reference list. | |
| Are The Klipsch Heritage Series Really Worthy? With all due respect, I strongly disagree with the three gents who posted, above. I have owned and enjoy many speakers of many types, and I have come to appreciate the qualities of horn speakers in general. I like the Klipsch Heritage line; especi... | |
| Avantgarde Uno's Or Klipsch La Scala MKII To be honest after owning many Klipsch models inc the best year LaScalas. I do wonder why folk think there good sounding.I imagine that you are in the vast minority of La Scala owners. But different strokes... | |
| Tubes Through Solid State Each piece of gear in your system contributes to the sound output in a different (but equally important) way. You choose your amp to best match your speakers, or so the theory goes. With most amps, you can be more flexible with regards to preamp c... | |
| Pre-amp Upgrade If you enjoyed your LS-15 and want the same sound signature, but (a lot) more of it, the LS-26 is a wonderful amp.Personally, I like the synergy of CJ amps and preamps together. If you can find one, the CT-6 is the unsung hero of the CJ preamp lin... | |
| Budget receiver/integrated amp for Cornwall III's? $400 for a decent tube integrated is going to be tough. For that price (or less) I would suggest that you look at some great low-powered vintage SS units. The Marantz receivers, mentioned above, are a great choice. I love classic Sansui gear as we... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall III or Tyler Acoustics PD-15 Here's a cool way to mitigate the WAF re: a subwoofer:Altec Lansing Universal Coffee Table SubwooferI have always wanted one of these, but always seem to just miss them on eBay and craigslist. | |
| Klipsch KG4 or RF3? Klipsch KG4s are very underrated speakers, and sound much better than is justified by their modest price. I have paired KG4s with all sorts of amplification, both tubes and SS. Although I usually prefer tubes for Klipsch gear, I really like KG4s m... | |
| Quads 57 - Kentaja, I have to agree with Stan on this one, from direct experience.>>While there are many fine speaker mentioned in this thread none of them are in the same league as the Quad. The Quad is a legend and for good reason.Agreed. I was not t... | |
| Quads 57 - Jarraa, heed the comments above. Also, you you going to find it challenging to place Quad ESL speakers in a 10 x 11 room - a room of that size is challenging for any speaker.The Spendors that Stanwal mentioned are an excellent idea. Also, have you... |
