| Wondering about jumpers.. No need to spend money or time on this.... If you consider the provided bars a weak point in the circuit, replace it with 16awg or thicker pure copper or silver 4" wire, bare, and you are set with the vey best unbeatable jumper. | |
| Albinoni's adagio Thank you so much for those recommendations.To start with, i ordered the Garry Karr version. I do not know what to expect in terms of quality as it is a reissue imported from somewhere....next i will choose one played by a big orchestra. | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! Your rebuilt 3020 should not have any trouble driving 6ohms 86db as you listen to normal levels. The 3020 was renown to drive difficult speaker loads. That’s what made it a best seller. I have had the 315 driving such loads and it was just fine (b... | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! Wharfedale denton, new. Superb cabinets, laid back and smooth sound, good soundstage, at this price no problem. | |
| On mid-fi do you hear much difference between Tidal and Spotify I have never heard tidal, but spotify is ok on earbuds/cellphone, can be ok on a stereo but it depends on the time of day in my experience;. I have a membership and sometimes, usually friday evenings and saturdays, i have to switch to pandora beca... | |
| Looking for an inexpensive Blue ray player Super duper. Also, the yamaha has two usbs, one in the back, the other on the front. So if you have very hd files (dsd 5.6, 192/24 or even 384/24), you can play them nicely from a thump drive or hard drive. | |
| Looking for an inexpensive Blue ray player mesch, the new sony uhp-h1 is really an old 2010 blu-ray player in a more rigid chassis. It is so not "premium" that they just dropped the price to $200. After having tried it continuously for 3 weeks, i would not even get it at $200. | |
| Looking for an inexpensive Blue ray player I second yamaha. The aventage bd 1060 features balanced analalog output and you are buying a lot for the money.I have had the yamaha bd-s677 for the past 3 years, love it for sound and picture, but mostly the sound through the analog outputs...it... | |
| Solid core Versus Stranded Speaker cables Solid core vs stranded, but what do you think about coated strands, like the ones proposed by jenving supra classics? | |
| the eternal cable question One famous cable maker has had the courage to say that the law of diminishing return hits right after his base model. After that, you're in buying trophee material and unproveable constructions based on hypothesis.I think cables cable make a diff... | |
| In ear headphones $150 or less I vastly prefer to listen to a pair of speakers because of the stereo field and the 3 dimensionality it projects in front of you, but when i can't, i am ok with my open-back sennheiser 598 ($130), and in-ear focal sphere ($85). I have had a lot o... | |
| Cables for Focal 1008be2 Amazon... it's very basic, you know... jacques mahul is one among other speaker designers who considers cables not important to improve sonics as long as the gauge is good and well constructed... | |
| Cables for Focal 1008be2 Why not just getting focal's own copper cable supplied for the utopia? It does not cost more than a $100, it's a 12awg 220+ strands, and if it is good enough for focal designers, it's got to be at least as good as mega bucks cables. | |
| Looking for speaker base suggestions Cheap, you could put hockey pucks under the spikes. | |
| Sony UHP-1 experience? I can’t test it as a transport, because my msb dac is so outdated and underperforming next to my yamaha bluray. I am sure the sony would make potentially a fine transport though as the spdif pcm output goes beyond 96khz. However, it does lock up ... |
