| Thoughts on DAC option Huey said it best: I want a new drug One that won't make me sick One that won't make me crash my car Or make me feel three feet thick I want a new drug One that won't hurt my head One that won't make my mouth too dry Or make my eyes too red [Ch... | |
| ??? Where Does "High End" Start ??? When the music involvement becomes such that the system reproducing it dissolves. You’ve arrived. | |
| Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys. Really nothing to contribute to the actual OP subject, but speaking to things working without explanation, my first encounter with a record platter weight reset my belief in logic in reference to this avocation. The other one was selling retail s... | |
| Speakers "Too Big" for room First pic posted showed unwieldy headphones for 14X10. Second pic looks more functional. Who are you trying to satisfy? That's right. YOU are good to go and that is all that matters. Forget the 'peanut gallery'. Not your first rodeo. | |
| Speakers That Won't Sound Too Smooth Or Soft with Luxman L-590AXII Not the Luxman 590AXll, but rather the Luxman 509X running ATC 20 passive monitors on custom stands provides great impact, high resolution with very good sound stage. Very non-fatiguing, but live. Just my 2 cents. Of course you've provided no i... | |
| DAC Merry Go 'Round- why I stopped at Weiss Addendum: Now have the Weiss 501 Mkll. Not quite sure of the set Weiss upgrades Tom at Big Ear Stereo did, but it is entirely a different animal. Mo’ Better everything. About $2500 I believe, well worth price of admission. | |
| The difference between tubes and solid state that I am finding Depends on how you like your pasta. Endless combinations and permutations of gear rendering same number of acoustic palettes. I've several systems running and like them all. I've owned several tube pieces, same with SS. There is no RIGHT. The... | |
| ATC buying advice Cognitive of OP’s original posting date. Update and correction of my earlier post. I had the ATC CA2 preamp, not as claimed the ATC SCA2. Now, I’ve the ATC SCA, the fully discrete version and it is brilliant. Running my ATC 50ASLT actives and... | |
| Moderator(s) All of us, product of life experiences. Taking the Citadel tour in Quebec City, the guide explained that three subjects have always been off limits to active soldiers; politics, religion and girlfriends/boyfriends. Because of the divisive nature... | |
| What A Drag It Is Getting Old @chayro Forensically breaking down your missive, you show strong cognitively. No split infinitives, sound punctuation, clear organized communicative structure. You are good to go. When in doubt, visit your local Walmart. Upon exit you’ll feel ... | |
| Moderator(s) @hilde45 Respectfully rebuke that premise. Time and place is all I ask. It would truly be odd for a cooking show to suddenly break out into the political perspective of the Crusades. The Dunning-Kruger Effect seems proven daily here by antics ... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? Perhaps this should be the official T-shirt of the forum https://clusterstorm.creator-spring.com/listing/dunning-kruger-effect?aid=ts-boosted-pla&gad_campaignid=21593823530&gad_source=5&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI97_j17PhjgMVWC6tBh0wnyzSEAQYAS... | |
| DIY Speaker Kits, a good idea? Only two kinds of people in this world; risk adverse, those consumed with fear of making a mistake and risk takers, those afraid not to explore, accepting failure as a valuable learning experience, but understanding possible rewards of discovery.... | |
| Suggestions for a holographic preamp? +1 @erice64 Listening at the moment to ATC SCA 2 preamp. Remarkable! Never on my radar until ATC dealer Tom at Big Ear recommended. Truly a classic SS beauty. Powerful Class A annihilating my Luxman C900u, which is quite good. Music simply e... | |
| Luxman C900u owners That’s where I’m going, except Mogami does XLR > RCA 6’ interconnect in their gold for $70 ea. Not a fan of adaptors and it is a subwoofer. So, while quality of signal is important, not as important as interconnects to speakers. Thanks |
