| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please @bikeboy52 I hear you. I sold 4 rental properties off in 2022. One left. Herding cats is coming to an end. | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please Warning Will Robinson! In the end, it's not our stuff in jeopardy. So why so much concern? I had to replace a fire rated door in my house because the previous owner had punched a pet door in it completely negating its purpose. Important to me,... | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan @snapsc Agreed. I’ve settled on my endgame speakers; ATC 50 actives. They came in very large factory boxes (saved) plastic wrapped on a substantial pallet. Hired piano movers to first move them upstairs and then assist manhandling them to install... | |
| Weiss 501 DAC @drubin Well, nobody will build a set DPS-4.1 with NFC, listen to them, tear them off and build with regular 50 to prove that point. They both are excellent, just a matter of your dollars and your choice. Called into question is how good the I... | |
| Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100? Ditching the $100 mark, Decware makes a terrific interconnect. Oft overlooked, I’ve owned lots of ICs up to over several hundreds of dollars a pair, and these are seriously good. https://www.decwareproducts.com/dsr3 Signal Cable also makes a very... | |
| Weiss 501 DAC Yes! And it is beyond weird. I first ran Cullen Crossover ll with good results. Onto Zavfino Prima, yet better. Then onto your aforementioned combo. Bang on! I've no technical explanation, only my ears. It's just right. I run an entire l... | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan Hope his new company knocks it out of the park! Design and materials look solid enough. A beacon in the fog of ‘me too’ mediocrity. Sadly, I will not contribute in the immediate future as I’ve long since committed to my stable of mostly Brit an... | |
| Mastering legend Bernie Grundman explains why the measurement crowd has it all wrong! Will watch interview in future. Bernie has for decades been my go to mastering guru. I've blindly picked off his mastering from new to me recordings. I will scramble through the liner notes to confirm. They just sound right. He is proceeded b... | |
| Luxman M-10X Stereo vs. Mono or C900U Monoblock amplifiers vs a stereo amplifier cannot improve what is upstream. My limited experience with using a DAC or music streamer as also a preamp is that a separate preamp seems more live than DAC/streamer only. I run the Luxman C900u. It i... | |
| Looking for advice for a good 3.5mm to RCA Up front, not an Audioquest fan. And I’ve owned plenty over the years. My last foray into their product was banana plugs. Awful quality beyond description. After Signal Cable stopped making theirs, I was forced to visit “The Evil Empire”. ht... | |
| Rega Cursa 3? Found this: https://stereoworlds.com/amplifiers/preamplifiers/rega-preamplifiers/rega-cursa-3-unleashing-audiophile-delight/ Had no luck with the other website given. Cheers | |
| DAC's from the past, are any of them really worth much today? This may help. http://tweakaudio.com/EVS-2/Company_Info.html | |
| DAC's from the past, are any of them really worth much today? Ric Schultz's original DACs were quite good and for the pittance one pays for one today, they are a steal. I paid $100 for one used and it would easily compete with a $700-1,000 DAC today. I think the first ones were simply DAC 1 and DAC 2. | |
| New speakers unveiled from Clayton Shaw - Caladan Perhaps I missed something. Is there a viable website? | |
| Speaker cables recomendation for Luxman L509X / Dynaudio Contour 30i Duelund 12g. At $40/m, they are a steal. I run mine between Luxman 509x and ATC SCM 20 passive monitors. They are wonderfully open, neutral and dynamic. Or you can do the Duelund 10g. Single strand, so be sure to double your length order. ht... |
