| wanting to take a digital step @soix Reading the forums, I know some people frown on the use of Wi-Fi. On the other hand, some say it works great for them. Do you find the use of a Wi-Fi extender the equivalent of Ethernet cable route sonically via a quality streamer? Charles | |
| wanting to take a digital step The OP states a budget of 500 or less. I don’t believe that this T+A DAC meets the criteria. This dac beat everything up to 2x it’s cost check it out. | |
| Denafrips 12 anniversary @charles1dad Has anyone compared the Lessloss DAC to the Terminator? @soix Not that I’m aware of. I just know that Lessloss is a quality product and feedback regarding their DAC has been very positive. They seem to have a more European tha... | |
| Japanese Luxman Integrated Amps @maholl50 Good information. Charles | |
| Denafrips 12 anniversary No doubt that the T+A 200 DAC is receiving much high praise from more and more reviewers. They all seem to be extremely impressed. Purely based on sonic ground, rather than feature/flexibility it’d be interesting to compare with the Lessloss Echo... | |
| Best value Set amp for under $1500 used is ok. On the surface I understand noticing the glaring price difference between the speaker and matching amplifier. However If this entry level 300b SET has good bones/foundation, its SET attributes will be exploited with high caliber speakers. It’s wor... | |
| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? @steakster So, my guess is that ’bright’ is based on one’s individual hearing. It helps explain why we like certain speakers - or components. Of course, other factors need to be taken into account: the room, the cleanliness of the power, the sy... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET @earthbound I get your meaning and this is why I was encouraging/supportive of your move to a higher level of 300b. You just get more from them especially if placed in a high quality amplifier. Expensive tubes but worth it as far as I am concern... | |
| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? @gakerty TBH, I’m not sure why the fallacy that "silver is bright" persists, where as you say the implementation is the main factor in cable performance. My experience with silver wire cables mirrors yours, no issues with bright, harsh or thi... | |
| Aric Audio Custom 300b PSET @earthbound Thanks for posting your very early listening impressions of the Western Electric 300b. They are going to only improve from this initial stage. The Gold Lions are solid and credible tubes in their own right. I believe as playing time/... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @jbhiller Nice move and congratulations! I look forward to reading your listening impressions. Charles | |
| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? @soix I’ve had copper ICs that sounded more shrill, and I’ve had silver ICs that’ve sounded more mellow. As with many things in audio, it’s more about the total implementation than any single component. Just my take and experience FWIW. YEP! ... | |
| JAY'S Audio CDT-3-MK2 or PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player As a heads up, copied from the Jays website directly.. ”*** Redbook CD transport only. Doesn’t support HDCD/SACD/DSD*** Yep! It’s intended to be a true dedicated single purpose Redbook CD transport. Same with my Pro-Ject RS2T. Aqua ... | |
| Allnic D10000 DAC - My Take @desalvo55 Thanks for your reply. The RS2T is a marvelous CD transport. I was just curious as to how you discovered it. No doubt an excellent pairing with your Allnic DAC. Charles | |
| Allnic D10000 DAC - My Take @desalvo55 Allnic consistently produces very high components. I have no doubt their OTL DAC is fantastic! How did you happen to come across the Pro-Ject RS2T? Charles |
