| Songs with excellent advice? Most recently: Toby Mac - Life after Death | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? Thorstein Veblen coined the concepts of 'conspicuous consumption'. Look him up. His theories read like a copy of Absolute Sound. | |
| Making speakers “disappear”….. Whatever your decision, I would pull in some HFTs from Synergistic Research. I've been playing with these the last several days and it changes the equation on what you can achieve and where you want to place your speakers. | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. Tidal vs Qobuz on my system: Qobuz🏅 | |
| Dark Horse DAC The Doge 7 MKII is going away. Remaining units on the Doge site is on sale and when they're gone they're gone. | |
| Dark Horse DAC @nniss Thanks for your candid impressions. My Doge MKII (I think) is getting close to being broken in. While changing things around in my system I also added 10 Synergistic Research HFTs and settled in last night to some interesting Electronica a... | |
| Dark Horse DAC I've read good things about the RME DAC. I think all the flexibility is interesting and enjoyable to some and to others it might be seen as unnecessary complexity. For myself I like to make the best choice I can afford and then keep it simple from... | |
| Dark Horse DAC Maybe old news for some, but perhaps not so much for others. Also, the current version is a MKII. Can't comment on the direct to amp performance, but the 2.6V going to the preamp through the RCA connections is higher than any other DAC that I know... | |
| Dark Horse DAC Came close to buying the Gustard R 26 Discrete DAC. My hearing seems to be ultra-sensitive to brightness/glare and I didn't want to take the chance. Your Doge must sound amazing with the NOS tubes. I will probably try that at some point. Let me... | |
| what are your top "audio bargins" in your system history? All the Dunlavy speakers through the years and most recently the Doge Dac 7 Mk II. This DAC is nowhere close to broken in but is already the best I've ever heard. | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? I have happily lost count... | |
| Everything matter in the audio chain. Tests prove it! I have used the Blu-ray version of Avatar as a reference disc to test the would-be improvements to the video side of our home theater. One of the scenes is when the helicopter is making a landing at a remote location. The grass is being blown and ... | |
| Everything matter in the audio chain. Tests prove it! If you have a high-end projector in your stereo/video room, try an audiophile power cable. I recently experimented with a SOTA power cable from Audio Magic replacing the stock cable and the improvement in picture quality was dramatic. I guess ever... | |
| Shave your CDs Don't knock it until you've given it a fair chance👆 | |
| OK...here's another tweak that really works @ holmz We may have to agree to disagree on some points. I know there is always a psychological element at work, but if you have been around a lot of live acoustic music, played an acoustic instrument or been in the hobby for an extended period o... |
