| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC but in this case would personally need to see objective listening tests or do them myself before believing that a component with accidental errors in measurement sounds better than one without these errors. Yes, listen for yourself and form yo... | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? @ghdprentice I agree with soix, very well stated and reasoned reply. I've reached a point where I don't bother with those who are skeptical of what others report with regard to hands on experience in High End audio. That's their choice and issue... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC . I don’t understand the point of celebrating poor measurements as some sort of badge of honor. I don’t get that impression. He actually (And wisely) compared the two DACs and said the Musetec 005 clearly was better sounding than the Topping DA... | |

| Joey DeFrancesco I’m very sad to hear this. I saw him preform live at a nice jazz venue in Chicago about 8 years ago. He moved away from his organ on one song to play the trumpet during the show (Very well by the way). He died far too young. RIP Joey D. Charles | |
| Ideal power cord lengths? @lalitk I realize the subjective nature of our hobby but this is the kind of BS that gives bad wrap to audiophiles. Just think about it, why would a cable manufacturer supply a 1M length if it sounds terrible compared to 1.5M, 2.0M and so on? ... | |
| Whizzer cone drivers @bache As has been pointed out, implementation is the big variable. Many who’ve heard it find the Cube Audio Nenuphars to sound exceedingly good. It’s considered to be one of the best single driver full range speakers currently available. Charles | |
| New Project RS2T transport @robshaw No problem I understand. Click the square with my initial “C” in one of my posts. Just as yours is square with “R” Charles | |
| Audio Mirror Preamplifier @tvad In a time when many manufacturers seem to be on an endless quest for ever more neutrality and detail (often to the detriment of musical enjoyment) Spot on observation. Charles | |
