| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? @piaudiol I've been trying to understand what you are saying. But first of all, respectfully, I think the relationship of the size of conductor to resistance involves a square and a determination of output impedance is more complicated that just... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? @piaudiol , interesting, please explain. | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? hilde45 3,116 posts 03-22-2022 at 08:25am @ghdprentice "High end audio is a very complex endeavor… full of ambiguity and complexity." Well said. The problem is not "trying to prove a negative," as someone else said, the problem... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? I will just throw this into the mix. If you take a look at the box that contains your circuit breakers for the house you will probably find that all the lines that run through your house have 12 gauge copper wire. So explain to me why anyone would... | |
| I miss my Loudness Button and Tone Controls.... I have the Rogue Sphinx and my suggestion is to make your next upgrade in An RME adi2 dac it works great with the Sphinx and has loudness, bass and treble plus a built-in equalizer if you get even more ambitious… And oh yeah it is a superb Digita... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing @daveinpa Nice choice! May I ask how long it took for the Pontus to arrive once ordered? Denafrips is a good example of a generally well respected name in the reviewer world. The Pontus has not been reviewed on ASR but I looked and saw the Ares ... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing @daveinpa I like your post! Your category 3 is right on. It is fine to buy something just because it makes you feel better. What seems to generate the most angst in these discussions is when people buy things for Reason 3, while trying to convinc... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing It puzzles me why the debate about measurement vs. subjectivity sometimes gets so fierce. Why can't we have both? I certainly want both. I appreciate that what we can measure may not represent the sum total of our listening experience. But if prop... | |
| Best Recycled Streamer? @petaluman Contrary to the experience of many here I have generally found wifi to be a superior delivery path for audio in my house. I have a mesh network so connectivity is good everywhere. My Auralic Aries actually recommends wifi over a wired... | |
| Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500 When I was in your position I settled on the RME adi2 dac. | |
| Best Recycled Streamer? Thank you for that really interesting lead. It looks like a nice package. Unfortunately a quick look around seems to show that Pis are in short supply right now. Sources I looked at were all out of stock. Here is an interesting item from Wikipedia... | |
| Suggestions for a streamer only (I have a great DAC) If I were shopping in that league I would look hard at the Grimm audio MU1 . Hans Beekhuysen, a reviewer who I respect, is swapping out his Aurelic G2 for the Grimm product. John Atkinson at stereophile also gave it a definite thumbs up. It repl... | |
| Fist Watt F6 vs Pass Labs XA 25 @ejlif I am in the process of building in F6 amp, what speakers do you think sounds best with it? Or perhaps I should ask what have you had the chance to use with yours? | |
| How do you get Happy as an Audiophile? @larry5729 i’m not familiar with your speakers but just based on the dimensions of your room, is it possible that you’re sitting too far away from your speakers? Normally the best listening position is somewhere in the region of an equilateral tri... | |
| How do you get Happy as an Audiophile? I like @reubent 's response. I can only add that I like listening to the different "flavors" imparted by equipment I own while expanding more and more into DIY and vintage restoration type projects. Learning more and more about audio, electronics... |
