| Where to go in Portland... I agree, ieales. That question was asked as if there was only one Portland. LOL. | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? Lol. There’s one more possibility...And I never said it was a cheaper cable. | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? Wow. I really didn’t want to go there. And, while having lurked here for many years I’m new to posting. I don’t know this individual. But, I can see why people share a negative opinion of this person. It’s like talking to a know-it-all brick wall... | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? Yeah, sorry dude. You’re nuts. It’s not placebo. It’s quite the opposite. I expected it to be the same and it was not. This has nothing to do with good hearing. | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? To add to my thoughts- I was so convinced there would be no difference I purchased a $30 cable. This was not some fancy audiophile cable. I would equate the difference to swapping speaker cables. I have no idea what a test would show, but clearly ... | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? I have a Chord Qutest ($1,800). And again, the point of the new cable was *not* an attempt at better sound. But the difference in sound was definitely there. And, no I wasn’t running the amp loud. 9:00 on a knob that starts at 7:00. I was of the m... | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? If you’re asking me, I have a Chord DAC. While not cream of the crop, it’s not a piece of crap, or a Schitt. And how is a DAC supposed to correct it? The DAC will do what’s it’s supposed to with the signal it receives. | |
| Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable? I’m late in responding to this, but I agree there is absolutely a difference in digital cables. I run USB from my PC to my DAC. I recently changed the cord due to relocation of my DAC. I did NOT do this in order to achieve better sound. I thought ... | |
| New to audiophile and need HELP. Pick up some of the Andrew Jones Pioneer speakers, or ELAC's. You can get them for a couple hundred bucks a pair (I paid $100 new for a pair of Pioneer's). They are amazing for the money. Are they perfect? No. However, to most non-audiophile folks... | |

| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K ramtubes- I'm not an electrical engineer, but here's what I know about the amp. It draws 400 watts from the wall. I don't know the damping factor. It has four feedback settings.I will say that I just upgraded to the LM 508 from a Parasound Halo In... | |
| Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K Freesole- I recently purchased this same amp (and also live in the Seattle area). I am running Neat Acoustics Iota-Alphas. Less costly than what you're looking for, but very low sensitivity. Probably 84 db as opposed the their 86 db claimed rating... | |
| Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound Just get the LS50's, Donn. :-) :-) :-) | |
| Speaker wattage question bombaywall- That's my situation. I had a NAD Viso Five @ 65 WPC, so I knew I never had to worry. Now I possibly do.So, the general opinion is that if I hear distortion, turn it down. Otherwise I should be fine?And, willand, they do play loud. The ... | |
| Speaker wattage question Thanks, all. I appreciate the responses! |
