Sternklang Cables @lalitk @grannyring Did you guys ever listen to Silversmith Fidelium? Not trying to hijack the thread, but I found it to not quite compare to some other brands that I enjoyed, although it was pretty solid for what it was. | |
I saw AG member's post about "the best cables" sold directly. What about Anti cables? I think the 3.1 is a solid offering. It’s extremely clear, but it’s also flat, so has very little sound signature of its own. I really appreciated their 3.1 power cable. The higher level interconnects have been a mixed bag. Paul is a really good ... | |
Anticable Cables: what do you like about them thread? Since it’s their silver/gold alloy, I would give it another couple hundred hours…I know it’s a lot but sometimes this can take a while. Paul may let you extend the return period if you email him. Really good guy, bought a bunch of different ca... | |
Zavfino Damn, I had a feeling you were going to say that, lol. I wish I could make the Dart PC work in my current setup, but I’ll take your word for it - I do want to add in the SC/ICs. Raymond told me the Fina cords were much more flexible, so here’s... | |
Zavfino AE is very good, great clarity, but the NV-9 SC I had was bass light - really needed a full loom with the prestige IC and PC to even everything out. This may not be true with the new 12 speaker cable. I think the Nova SC/Arcadia IC/Fina PC should... | |
Less Is Really More - Schiit's New Yggdrasil DAC - Less Is More @wolf_garcia there’s a Bifrost 2 upgrade? | |
Cables recommendation Zavfino is really good - had the Prima mkII SC/PC, sold them and just got the Nova SC again - it’s a fun/addictive sound - they’re like the Naim of speaker cables. @lalitk you have WAY Cables now? I think I saw mention those somewhere. | |
The new LSA Signature 50 Monitor "Disruptive Product" The designer of the LSA 50/80/Statement has some links to measurements and his small YouTube channel on DIY Audio where he’s a pretty popular member, but seems this is a new designer and not the one who did the LSA signature line. Frequency respon... | |
What cable companies make the best cables and sell them directly? Zavfino is really good, same with Audio Envy, Anti-Cables, EWA Cables, Audio Art, Silnote. Hard to go wrong with any of those brands | |
The new LSA Signature 50 Monitor "Disruptive Product" @amorstereo really enjoyed the review and looking forward to your take on the 80s. For $600, I’ll take a spin. Hoping someone at Stereotimes will review the new LSA tube integrated, too. | |
This is good Schiit... I went from a Bluesound to Zen Stream + Bifrost 2 - that was a nice uptick in quality. Not to open a can of worms, but upgrading the fuse in your DAC can take things to another level, as well. I also did the PD creative update for my Node 2i... | |
Do you consider cables to be a "component" of your system? Definitely, I’ve had cables that change the whole listening experience for better or worse. Lower gauge cables seem to make a big impact. Going from 14/15 gauge down to something half that will provide so much more depth. A low gauge power cord, s... | |
New Simaudio Moon Voice 22 Speakers They’re definitely on my audition list. Aside from Special 40, not too much comes to mind around this price that I can think of but yeah there’s a ton at 2 and change. I would be curious to know about what’s inside these and I imagine at 3k they m... | |
Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Speaker Cables I do want to hear these, as the Fractals get a lot of praise. I would be really curious how the EWA LS-80 cables would compare. EWA is designed by Colin Wonfor who was behind Magnan and later Tellurium Q. I have read some of feedback from LS-80 u... | |
PS Audio FPGA dac They’re working on Direct Stream mkII - possibly releasing before the end of the year. I think the updates are done with the original. |
