| Let's talk power cords Hi Jon,I’m happy that you like it. An interesting mix of, blues and a a touch of the Avant-garde yet they definitely swing! Top notch musicians every single one of them. Wonderland is an earlier live recording from the late 1950s and is more "Hard... | |
| Let's talk power cords +1 Jafant. These are the type of recordings I take to audio shows, auditions etc. Superb music. Charles | |
| Let's talk power cords Jon,I understand, Mingus could definitely go in different directions and you certainly may prefer some directions over others😊. That’s why I offered 2 recommendations, I like both butt different styles from this jazz icon."Mingus In Wonderland" is... | |
| Let's talk power cords +2 jmcgrogan2. Sadthetic, perfect description 😊.Jond,Good early impression for a brand new and "cold" power cable. Like your choice of test recording. Jon we are both jazz afficianos, here is one for you that I’m listening to as I type. "Minus Oh ... | |
| Best used or new DAC under $3500 Hi jozurr, +1 your comments. Continue to trust what "you" hear, just because someone raves about a certain DAC/component doesn’t mean you’ll have the same result or opinion regarding it. As this thread is demonstrating there are many excellent op... | |

| Tekton Double Impacts David,I referenced listener taste/preference because it’s an unavoidable factor in that people "do"hear and interpret differently. 1. Clean and neutral to one listener is dry and analytical to another 2. Full bodied and tonally/harmonically rich t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Man, I'm disappointed with the Vikings, they just didn't show up tonight, holy cow! Okay back to the regular program 😊😊.Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Tom,Honestly in regard to the line stages I just believe that it's a combination of listener taste and system /component synergy. You're describing in your system the same result as we heard in my system. When you brought the MZ to my home we fel... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD A prime example of how interpretation varies amongst individual readers. With a name like Schitt it is the perfect and inevitable target for word play. I believe that the company intentionally chose this name for this very purpose and expected eff... | |
