| Jays Audio cdt2 mk3 burn in and user experiences Mark 30 days on your calendar. Part of it is the component and part is you. Sometimes we just need to get used to a new presentation. It’s a shame that buying blind seems to be the norm now, jut the Jay’s is so universally praised, that it’s hard... | |
| hifi stay Check out the racks on China hifi. I would be wary of buying electronics from them for service issues, but the racks look ok. | |
| Hegel or a Modwright My experience is that people who like SET amps are not satisfied with others, unless they completely get rid of the SET and forget the sound. My friend had ZUs and we were using a very expensive class AB tube amp, which sounded good until we hooke... | |
| The Visual History of Hi-Fi Turntables I didn’t see the Empire on there. Truly the most beautiful TT of all time. | |
| Potential Pair of Great Bookshelf Speakers for Sale! Listen to the Harbeths for a month, swap out the totems and make your decision. Likely both will have pluses and minuses and you just have to make a choice. | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? You’ve got quite a large thread here to start with. I have a pair of the ICs and they are very good. | |
| Now, this is some fun! Nothing wrong with that at all. Really. But let’s keep it just between us. Nobody else needs to know. | |
| New Analog Technology??? The article is in Variety. It’s not directed towards audiophiles. Sounds like something for the hipsters spinning vinyl because they think it’s cool. I don’t want to seem overly negative about it, but it just sounds like a load of bulls@hit. | |
| New Analog Technology??? I have huge respect for T-Bone, but this sounds amazingly like the hype surrounding Pono. There are 2 ways to record- analog tape or digital in various forms. And direct to disc of course. All this new system can do is bring us closer to the mast... | |
| Music Hall 9.3 vs 11.3 Turntable I think you should get the 11.3 so you will not be stressed out later about not buying it. Your dealer should be able to assist you with the best choice of cartridge. | |
| Pre Playback Wipedown I use a Last brush sprayed with the finest mist of Audio Intelligent #6. The mist is so fine that it hardly uses any fluid and the brush is barely moistened. | |
| Question about upgrading my SACD player What the dac/transport people are saying is that redbook on the dac will sound better than SACD on your player. As I said before, I had 2 Sony SACD players and there was no comparison. So now you have everyone’s opinion. Now what? | |
| Question about upgrading my SACD player Agree with @missioncoonery. I’ve owned the Sony 5400 and the more expensive one before that, I think it was the 9000 or something. iMO, a $600 Cambridge CXC transport and a good $1500 dac will render far superior sonics with red book to anything t... | |
| Is there a facility that test cables? What Audioholics would do is measure your wire against 10 gauge Belden wire and test for resistance, capacitance and inductance. Supposedly, the lower the better. FYI, he recently tested a 5K pair of Audioquest cables and found them to have inferi... | |
| Is there a facility that test cables? Contact audioholics. I believe the owner offers consulting and testing, but it’s not free, as I’m sure you would expect. At lest discuss it with them and see if it’s possible to test for what you are looking for. |
