| New Project RS2T transport @lpretiring The Audiogon member who made the DC/umbilical cable (Using the VH Audio PC-OOC wire) had owned the RS2T months before me and had tried different LPSs and cables. As I have mentioned before, we’ve known each other quite some time and ... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @lpretiring It good to know that both items arrived in good shape and functioning as they should. A little patience is all that’s required. 😊 You’ll be fine. Each audio system provides its unique interaction. The Nikola II out of the box hinted... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @lpretiring Hi, have you received your exchanged RS2T and the Fidelizer Nikola II LPS? If so, how are they working out for you? @robshaw I hope things are continuing smoothly for you. Have you gotten your new power cables yet? Charles | |
| Best Dedicated Streamer @facten He told me if you want to hear more of what the DAC can provide to upgrade the transport. Bought a Simaudio 260DT and it was evident that the Cambridge was holding the Mojo back. It’s not going to be any different with the quality of a st... | |
| Best Dedicated Streamer @ghasley There is a post above that says “it’s all about the DAC”. I believe that is bad information. The quality of the streamer is critical to achieving superb sound quality. My contention is that both the DAC and streamer are important and re... | |
| Best Dedicated Streamer @wokeuptobose It appears that Grimm has sorted clean power and low jitter to a level that other manufacturers have not yet achieved. So for 12K invested in a Grimm you get a built in Roon Core, 4 to 8 TBs of storage, a world class streamer, AND ... | |
| Best Dedicated Streamer @tracyiver Givrn your price range you may find this worthwhile. https://www.grimmaudio.com/reviews/hifi-advice-sonically-the-mu1-leaves-nothing-to-be-desired/ | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @soix Hi, Their power cables are marvelous sounding in my audio system. I am utterly happy with them and IMO a very cost effective purchase. An example of a high quality product/company that flies beneath the radar. Charles | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @drhamp I can’t say they are equal to the 45/46 SETs sonically, but they are the closest that I’ve heard from a solid state amp. Nonetheless a true compliment given what it’s up against. Very different topologies with different strengths. Cha... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? @ghdprentice 👍 Often the best solutions are guided by pragmatism and common sense. Nothing beats actual hands on experience/engagement and simply listening. It seems some rely too heavily on preconceived beliefs and specs/numbers on paper. This... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @pstores I am looking forward to the additional listening impressions from your audiophile/music lover friends. Should be insightful and certainly fun. Charles | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing it must be based on objective criteria. Seems this simple logical truth is just too much for some Okay, if that’s your position, that’s fine. I don’t believe that people find objective criteria too much to accept. Rather it is inadequate in det... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @kuribo You sound as if your mind is already made up. I don’t understand your logic, you seem critical and dismissive of actually listening and judging what one would hear. Of course it’s a subjective process. How could it not be? You purchase t... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC The engineer admits to choosing parts based on SQ, not measurements. Yes, so simply and openly acknowledged by the builder. Why so difficult for some to comprehend? Charles | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm In choosing parts for his DACs he listens and chooses those that add to SQ as he hears it even if they cost in measurement stats. The only decision to make “if” obtaining the best possible sound quality with a given design/product is ... |
