| Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100? If you’re just starting out, my advice is to buy a pair of ICs from Blue Jeans cable and listen for a year. Then you can try something more expensive and see if it makes a difference in your system. Blue Jeans is very solid entry-level stuff. If y... | |
| Mastering legend Bernie Grundman explains why the measurement crowd has it all wrong! The venerated Decware is only about $1500 and is undoubtedly high end. But that’s an exception I think. | |
| Denafrips Pontus 2 Price increases Better buy it now because tomorrow it may be $2400. The stuff I bought was from the UK, not China, BTW. | |
| Denafrips Pontus 2 Price increases Prices are constantly rising. My thoughts are- if you really want something and can responsibly afford it, buy it now. I recently made a large purchase right before a price increase and saved a couple of thousand dollars. I am dreading August when... | |
| Would a Topping A90 or A90D be a significant upgrade from the A30 Pro? I have a DX3 Pro+ and it’s not bad, but Topping is not particularly known for “fleshing out” anything. I would contact Apos Audio and ask their advice. They sell Topping and a lot of other headphone amps, so they might be able to steer you in the ... | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour V The V is 1 better than the IV. | |
| CD Transport @leog2015 - did you get the Jays yet? Just interested in your opinion if you did. | |
| LessLoss C-Marc Entropic Speaker Cable I dealt with Constantin as well. Very professional, sent regular updates and delivered exactly when promised. I think good dealers deserve to be mentioned. | |
| LessLoss C-Marc Entropic Speaker Cable I don’t own any LL products, but I see that Atelier 13 Audio in Nashville is a dealer if anyone is interested. I purchased a CEC transport from them and the service was extremely professional. They carry some interesting lines. Stuff you don’t see... | |
| W4S DAC W4s always made good products and they were more popular several years ago, but I think the huge influx of excellent dacs from China killed them. Who’s going to buy a 5k W4s when they can buy a Terminator or a May that every major reviewer went cr... | |
| Omega Super Alnico Monitor/Aric Audio SE KT88 I have a pair in order as well. Time will tell. | |
| DAC's from the past, are any of them really worth much today? I agree that some very good modern dacs are available for under $1k, but I totally disagree that the modern dacs are necessarily better than the best dacs of the past. The Naim 555 and CDS3, the Vekian, Wadia, Zanden were incredible. As far as “ne... | |
| jitter I don’t think jitter causes dropouts. Are you using WiFi? If you are, that’s more likely the issue I think. | |
| Turntable dust cover cleaning Novus plastic polishing kit. As @mijostyn said, work in straight lines. I don’t know if you will get them out, but you may be able to make them somewhat less visible. After that, just dust with a swiffer. If you can’t get anywhere with the Novus, ... | |
| Pictures at an Exhibition I was watching several different performers playing the piece on You Tube yesterday and I was astounded at the differences in approach. The touch, tempo, dynamics. When I was in school, we studied the fact that the “scholars” differed on how older... |
