| The Audiophile Community Has a Problem: Part Deux The Saga Continues? Being crass, crude and rude is equated by many these days as "telling it like it is" and admired. Those who are old enough will remember the 90's when Fox's format began having hosts talking and even shouting over one another and their guests. TV... | |
| What are you using as a streamer? Constructive feedback please. Used Auralic Aries (circa 2015) sounds great and comes with a massive external linear power supply, ususally available for $7-800. Very versatile either with it's own Lightning software or Roon. | |
| Benchmark DAC Thoughts @gnoworyta for what it’s worth I had come to the same conclusion as you that the benchmark dac looked very interesting, I was considering it against the topping D90 and the chord cutest and the RMEADI2 dac. I had not heard any of them and was goin... | |
| How do you listen? Last week I attended a Beethoven fourth symphony concert at Verizon hall in Philadelphia. The sound levels in the upper balcony center where I was peaked in the 70 to low 80 dB range. I found it comfortable and enjoyable and that is about the same... | |
| Analogue from Digital @Charles7, your comments and those before it lead to the rational conclusion that what we are really talking about is our preferred form of distortion. For some it is the phonograph needle for others it is the dac, Speakers, cable, etc.. I agree w... | |
| Help wanted spending money and improving my system. Fastninja, you have a very nice hi-fi system! It probably sounds about as good as it’s ever going to already. Why not send a generous donation to a worthy charity. There are a lot of people in need these days for a lot of different reasons then si... | |
| Mystery Capacitor and the Tangent RS4 Crossover Sorry pooch2 I don’t have any experience with your TM1 speaker, so can’t offer much. | |
| Gustardx26 pro vs RME ADI2FS @jjss49 Great analogy! | |
| Gustardx26 pro vs RME ADI2FS @recluse thanks for the link to the first article that you cited in this thread. I’m a big fan of Nelson Pass-and it was building and listening to an amp camp amp from DIY that opened my eyes to the comments I made earlier. It really had a tube so... | |
| Gustardx26 pro vs RME ADI2FS @hshifi i’m curious, do you use a power conditioner prior to the linear power supply or does the linear power supply, innocence, act as a power conditioner? | |
| Gustardx26 pro vs RME ADI2FS This discussion is interesting because it is circling around what I have come to believe is a central truth in HIFI. That is, there are two ways to go, true fidelity and good sound. These are not mutually exclusive as that statement might sound at... | |
| Gustardx26 pro vs RME ADI2FS On page 10 of the RME-ADI2 Users Guide they discuss the power supply in detail, laying out the design features built into the dac, they conclude; "...in other words the choice of power supply is not critical." I'd like to know of another manufact... | |
| Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews. “I can’t say I struggle to read any of them, not even the frankly unpleasantly dishonest Darko, but most are as dull as ditchwater.” @cd318 if you are going to impugn someone else’s integrity and character I think you risk being unpleasant and di... | |
| DeoxIT on cables/Jacks? Oldhvymec, would you share with us the formula of your cleaning concoction? | |
| Power conditioner types “Do any power conditioners actually store the energy from the outlet/power company and then generate it on demand ”I think this is called a battery. but then you would also need an inverter to transform the DC current back into AC if you want to p... |
