| I am so happy..... @arafiq Thanks for your comment. However, the aptx-hd codec with bluetooth sounds great to me already. And to top that, the LGv60 has already a great DAC in it which I sometimes feed DIRECTLY into my Freya from the LG's headphone output. To tel... | |
| I am so happy..... Thanks for your comments. Btw, as it was pointed out about bluetooth not being a resolving transmission method, both the Audioengine b1 and the v60 does support the aptx-hd codec and hence that is the reason i chose them. They sounded good enough ... | |
| Best cable for record cleaner, ever During my last trip to Mars, i realized its atmosphere gas content was so much better to listen to music than earth's, i decided to move there permanently. | |
| The best way to start adding A=analog to my system Once I got used to digital, it was very difficult to go back to listening scratchy sound and diminished dynamic range on my Linn Sondek LP12 + SME 3009R + Nagaoka MP500 + Schiit Mani phono stage. Even tho I consider my tt system to be decent, I f... | |
| Move from Parasound A23 to A21/A21+ or Something Else? Look at the just newly announced Schiit Tyr. 200 watts -> 8 ohms or 350 watts -> 4 ohms monoblock is $1600 and for stereo it will be $3200. It is built like a TANK. | |
| schiit vidar in btl mode @ditusa Tyrs are double the cost. | |
| Current Questions Think of it in terms of plumbing. Water pressure is equivalent to voltage. Resistance/impedance is analogous to a valve which controls the flow. The water flow is the current. The more the water flow, the better your shower. The more current into ... | |
| Sad to say I need a new amp… Have a look at Orchard audio amps. Class D, very powerful, well within your budget, very efficient and using the latest GaN transistors which make class D almost better than class AB. | |
| I miss my Loudness Button and Tone Controls.... Get a schiit lokius. Its 20 hz setting is almost equivalent to the loudness control. Anything over 50 hz and the bass will sound a bit bloated hence the very good frequency selection on the Lokius. | |

| has anyone used creative labs bt w3 with an iphone ? @facten Thanks for the pointer :-) | |
| Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500 @williewonka My choice for the Mojo 2 is because of the overwhelmingly positive reviews of the product, as well as the fact that one of the the mojo 2 tone control bands is around 20 Hz, which is the low/subwoofer bass region, which is almost eq... | |
| Best streamer/DAC for up to $1500 I think I have decided on a Bluesound node (or vault for its storage but not its DAC) + Chord Mojo 2. I like the fact that Mojo 2 has tone controls. Thanks for all your suggestions. I will let you know how it sounds after I order it and set it ... | |
| Grounding cable gauge size You probably had a ground loop which you eliminated by plugging it into a star connnection. | |
| Grounding cable gauge size A ground cable is used for safety. It does not affect the sound unless your system is miswired. It should be rated at the equivalent or greater current level which would blow the main fuse of your specific device. To be sure, let us say at twice ... |
